Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!)

Whoo Hoo! There was a giant "Wheel - o - Bargains". I spun and won a $1 off my purchase. Oh man I can't tell you how happy I am when I get money off my purchase. yeah baby. We were one of the first 1000 customer's so my husband and I received free Grocery Outlet - Bargain Market reusable bags! (Rob was so excited. Yes, he can be a dork sometimes too.)
