VS Winner!

Somewhere between here

and this post, I was stopped by a number of things. First I was making Macaroni & Cheese (box kind!) when the mail lady came. I took the puppy out to get the mail, came in and started looking through it. Opened a few bills, realized the noodles were still cooking. I drained them (soggy, bleh) and got out the milk when I saw this mess:

I love how the kids do their chores! Please excuse the obviously dirty bottom of my refrigerator door. It made me thankful for this little gift:

*Sigh* Here we go! And the winner is................................................

Comment #2 which would be tfamily!!!!Message me and let me know how you'd like it! Stay tuned, folks. More spills, licks and budgeting to come!

This One's For The Girls

Iiiiit's Friday!!!!!

I love today. It's a beautiful 68 degrees. I got 10 hours of sleep (but would totally take 10 more). Had coffee with some girlfriends early this morning. Konnor's on the mend. Bought a present for a baby shower. Gosh. It feels like Christmas!

Before I get to the good stuff, I am friends with Papa John's on Facebook. I know. I'm pretty darn special. Yesterday they posted that if you sign up for their Papa's Points program online by February 5, you will get a free 3 topping large pizza should the Super Bowl go into overtime. Free pizza? Yes please!

And now for the giveaway. Today's is a $10 Angels Reward to Victoria's Secret. You can use it online, or in store. Just in time for Valentine's Day! To enter, leave a comment about a quality you love the most about yourself. Show yourself some love! I can't wait to read them!!

I'll input & randomize for the winner on Monday at noon.

Ugh To The Flu Bug!

My house is still under it's nasty spell. Although now it's a bit more like an intense cold. I myself and nearing the finish line, but Konnor is about 2 days behind me. Poor baby.

If I could post a mobile picture you could see how pathetic he is.

But for some reason I haven't mastered that yet.

So until tomorrow- don't forget your free Pei Wei, keep budgeting and get ready for a giveaway!

Oh Pei Wei, How I Love Thee...

Let me count the ways. I love your Mongolian Beef. I love your Brown Rice. I love the extra Mongolian Sauce on the side. I love your Orange Slices on the drink bar. I love your Chopstick Grips for kids.

*Sigh*

I love Pei Wei.

Today and tomorrow only (Jan 26th & 27th) you can go into any Pei Wei location and get a card to try the Korean BBQ Beef valid Jan 31-Feb 6th. All you do is walk in the door and collect.

Sounds like the 31st is going to be a great day. I'll announce the winner of my next giveaway, I'll get to try something hopefully yummy, it's the last day of the month...yes. A good day indeed.

Now I don't usually stray from my all time favorite. But I will if it's free! What's better than a free meal at one of my favorite restaurants? NOTHING!!!!

Go to their website to find the location nearest you.

Old Navy Clearance

So I love Old Navy. This morning I got an e-mail with a code for 25% off Clearance. That can add many clothes you've been wanting to your closet! If you spend $50 you get free shipping. You don't need a code for that one. Go spend your clothing budget dollars!!

And The Winner Is.....

Comment Number 2, Jon. Yep, my husband. He told me to redo it, but then that would ruin the integrity of the draw. It wouldn't be truly random.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every comment. Thank you for taking the time to share it with me and all my readers.

Today I feel like a brick is living inside my head, so tomorrow, hopefully we'll be up and running with more budgeting ideas. I gave you my beans and rice budget, and am hopefully going to put up my meat and potatoes meal plan.

Be looking next Friday for my next giveaway!!! I love giving away stuff.

Thanks A Latte!

Sometimes, when I'm blogging, thoughts come pouring out of my fingers at the speed of light. Other times...not so much. When I'm stuck, I'd like to type something witty, or charming, or gay, or whimsical...but that's just not me. My mind is blank. I have to admit that is one reason I love blogging so much. When a lot is on my mind I can type it. When nothing's on my mind, I don't type. Or when nothing's on my mind, I type that nothing is on my mind.

Like right now.

I would like to say, though, thank you for making this so much fun. I love all my comments from tfamily (one of my oldest friends), and I have enjoyed learning that Jon (my hubby) was a secret follower. I made him follow me publicly. If it's secret, it's kind of like stalking...

But I have enjoyed hearing feedback from friends, I have gotten some great questions that have given me something to post and I have gotten some great recipes. So this is my 'Thank You' card to you. Or I could give away a $10 Starbuck's gift card. I think I like that idea better. That's enough for at least 2 tall Lattes! If you like an Americano (my fave) then you could get 4 and a half.

To enter to win the gift card, just leave a comment about what you're most thankful for so far this year. The phone calls don't count on this one, sorry. I'll draw a winner on Monday at Noon (CST). I can't wait to hear your answers!

Thanks a 'latte' for making this so much fun!
