To Coupon or Not to Coupon
Oct 18, 2009 Categorized: Igununce • News • Organize •
I already regret not taking a photo today. It’s what all good coupon ladies do when they save a bundle. I always feel slightly embarrassed for them when I see their whole load of groceries laying out there for everyone to see. It sort of makes me feel like a nosy grocery clerk. You know, the one that comments on everything on the conveyor belt? My blood’s already boiling just thinking of it. So with that in mind, I chose not to photograph my big load today. But now that I’ve tallied up the earnings, I really wish I had a picture to prove it. It’s like a rite of passage for a brand-new couponer to have a photo to show the goods. You’ll just have to take my word for what I bought.

It’s inevitable. When I get in the kitchen, there is going to be trouble. And that’s a problem, because I practically live in the kitchen. If I’m not in the bathroom (tending to kids, of course), I’m probably in the kitchen. As long as we’re moseying along doing everyday sorts of things, though, we’re all pretty safe. But mix in some baking products and a little holiday cheer and you’ve got yourself a recipe for disaster.
Me and My Sewing Machine

When I first started sewing, oh, about 3 or 4 projects ago, my sewing machine and I had to get a few things worked out. First of all, it’s actually Bill’s sewing machine. It’s some foreign job called a Bernina. He says it’s really high end and is “top-of-the-line”, but I wasn’t so sure at first. It sure did have a way of matting up my threads.

I am Martha Stewart’s worst nightmare. That is especially sad considering she’s set as my homepage. I used to look forward to doing my Christmas baking until I screwed it up so many times that I realized I mess up more recipes than I actually finish. That little fact only took me seven years to figure out.

The Nightly Collapse

I did it again. I do it every night. And every night I try to talk myself out of it. In four brief seconds from the time I close the kids’ bedroom door to the time I round the corner…

There are things in life that are worse than shopping for new jeans. But not very many. I can’t believe I actually looked forward to getting a new pair of jeans today.
