Chilly weather

So, it is getting cold outside...and the nights are REALLY cold and lonely. This weather makes me miss my husband even MORE than usual...I want to jump into bed and curl up next to him and put my freezing cold feet on his legs...he likes that! HAHAH
So, tonight, when you go to bed, ladies...please do this for me...and be thankful that your hubby is here for you to annoy! I sure wish mine was!

FUNDRAISER!!!!!!

PLEASE SEE MY SISTER'S WEBSITE!!! Click here to view her fundraiser efforts for the food allergy network. Also, you can read her message below. If you would like to help and make a donation, it is very simple and easy to do...It only took me a matter of seconds to set up an account and make a small donation. See Jamie's blog if you would like to help! Thanks!!!



Raising Money For Food Allergies
This year our family is helping to raise money for the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. You can read about the Trick or Treat for Food Allergy fundraiser here.If you would like to donate, you can go here and donate online. In the comment box, please type in "Miles K, age 3", and your donation will count towards our efforts. Since we pray that Miles will outgrow his milk allergy by age five, it would be neat to rack up a slew of $5 donations. Every little bit helps, and it all adds up. Your support would mean a lot to us.Serious food allergies are a fairly new phenomenon, and we pray that a cause and cure are found in Miles's lifetime. Money and research are needed to accomplish this. Thank you for all your support...even in just reading this blog. God bless.

computer???

I have been actively searching for a new computer...no luck so far...I just hate to buy a new one, when I know we have two perfectly good computers in Germany AND a new laptop in Iraq...makes my tummy hurt to think about it!!!

Anyone have a computer I can BORROW until next year? HAHA Fat chance, huh??? Just think, you will get to enjoy my uselsess blogging more! HEHE

So, yesterday I had a successful trip to Walgreens! Just a rundown:

2 bottles of Windex
2 bottles of Shout
1 bottle of Fantastic
2 cans of Scrubbing Bubbles
2 Jack pizzas
1 Crest toothpaste
1 Oral B toothbrush,
2 Vanilla Glade candles

SPENT OUT OF POCKET: $15.98
REBATES : $10.00

TOTAL SPENT AFTER SALES, COUPONS AND REBATES: $5.98

Yay me!!!

I also got two more rebate checks in the mail yesterday:

Capital one: $15.00
Huggies: $5.oo

this brings the total for the month to a whopping $115.00!!! Now, tell me I am wasting my time! I will soon be able to afford a new computer! HAHAHA

Very, very sad day....

Okay, so I thought I found a great buy on a new laptop computer...turns out it was LAST week's ad, and they were sold out. I will be checking the paper tomorrow to see if I can find something comparable. DANG IT!!! Another day (or week, or MONTHS) without a computer!!!

Jen, keep praying that one falls in my lap, k??? Heehee

For Jen, because I love her!

So, I know I haven't exactly been keeping up my blog...I have been without a computer since we moved. My loving hubby was SUPPOSED to bring me a laptop home when he came home for R&R, but it didn't happen...so, I thought I could get by without one, but my sis (JEN), has informed me that her life just is not the same since I do not have a computer. Now, I do not want to be cause for any boredom or anything like that, so I think I will just have to go and get a new computer! LOL (THANKS JEN FOR THE EXCUSE TO GO SHOPPING...FOR MYSELF!, love ya chica)!!!
So, I will let you all know what I end up doing...hopefully, like Jen said, "one will fall in my lap!". HEHE
