So CVS had an awesome sale on Coke products (4 twelve pack cases for $10) along with a spend $30 on specially marked items and you'll get $10 CVS Cash to spend in the store. Mom leveraged this deal into a lot of Coke products. I saw that many things on my shopping list were some of their specially marked items, especially make-up, so I made it my ( Read more... )

So I made a new item for the checklist; Friday is blog post day. And today is the first day I have been able to fulfill it. *Sigh* The goal is to be more communicative than last year. Beating forty-nine posts isn't that hard, but I'm already off to a less than stellar start.

I haven't talked much about it because there really isn't anything anyone can do with a waiting game. My maternal grandmother was in the hospital for two and half weeks with an intestinal blockage and having some mental reactions to her medication withdrawal.

Today's my last day of work. Tonight I'll be driving to Austin. Saturday Sherwood Forest Faire! SQUEE! I'll be back home Monday and back to the normal routine Tuesday.

Basically I've been alternating between being distracted and writing on my original projects. Rather than bore the f-list by rehashing what I hashed at Intentionally Left Blank I'll just provide links.

My baby sister is hosting this year, so after today I'll probably be offline until Sunday. Everybody have a safe and happy holiday!

My sister was finally released from the hospital Thursday July 8th after nine nights in the hospital. The only restrictions she has is on how much she lifts and since she's moving around good, Mom came on home with me Friday night. Now it's time to catch up on house stuff, so I can go to work Monday ( Read more... )

I need a "I'm melting" icon. Seriously, Louisiana has humidity where you feel you can't breathe, but Austin, Texas is the middle of an oven ( Read more... )
