Not to readers: We bought a newly built 4 bedroom home on 3/30/2007! Yay us!

I'm going to have a shirt made up, and I'm going to wear it every time I go to Walmart. It's going to say in big little across my chest...

ONE COUPON PER PURCHASE = ONE COUPON PER ITEM
ONE ITEM IS A PURCHASE
THE WHOLE %^%$$#$ THING IS A TRANSACTION

I have a big chest, so it will fit. I'm going to make up a lot and sell them to all my coupon friends.

Well, my dream has taken a temporary nosedive. It's OK, though...it's all for the best.

We paid $250 for a home inspection on the house that we put an offer on, and that is the best money we ever spent. The roof had a bad, apparently do-it-yourself repair done after the hurricanes that struck this area in '04. There were also several rows of shingles missing (hello??!). There was a water stain on the garage ceiling, although there was no current moisture.

Well then...here I am. All in one piece.

I am amazed that I haven't written my PSJ in nearly three months...I should send myself to my room. (Hopefully the baby will be asleep and DH won't be - what are the odds of that happening??) I've missed this, actually. Writing has always been very therapuetic for me, and since I am a visual person it really helps me to see my goals and accomplishments down in print.

Where to begin? Well, the Ukrainians went home after Thanksgiving,...

I'm surrounded by Ukrainians.

I'm not kidding.

And three of them don't speak English.

Ok...so one is my baby and technically doesn't count. Let me tell you, this has been such an experience. My inlaws have been here almost two weeks. In some ways, it's great. They love to feed the baby, hold the baby, dress the baby, walk outside with the baby, play with the baby...the baby sometimes looks at me with a look of "HELP!! I'm being cuddled to death!!"...

I have finally found the answer I've been searching years for. The final nirvana of every couponer - how can I save more money?


Are you ready?




I was astounded...



Don't go in any stores.

It really works, I swear. I haven't set foot in a store in three days, and for three days my bank account balance hasn't budged a cent. It's phenomenal the way this system works. I bet I could sell it on infomercials...
