Pictures

So you all know, or should have gathered by now, that I love taking pictures.  I thought that I took some pretty decent pictures, but now I know how much I have to learn!!  
Check out my cousin's site - http://naomifigueroaphotography.blogspot.com/ - for great photography.  
I met someone recently who does graphic art & photography for a living.  He took some neat pictures!!  I wish he had a website so you could see!  
Anyways ... I think I am going to read those design books and maybe even read some photography books ...

the Grocery Game

So I signed up for the Grocery Game online. It's this site that you subscribe to, and the lady gives you a list of what is on sale, and what coupons to use, thus saving you money. Last week was the first week I shopped using Teri's List, and I did okay. This week, I did even better. My best deal was at Albertson's. I spent $43, but I saved $78!! Last week, I spent $2o and saved $21.
Some examples of things I've purchased:
Clariol Hair Color - Regular price $13.99; I paid $1.99.
Danimals Crushable Cups (4-count) - regular price $4.69; I paid $1.oo
Taco Bell Taco Shells - regular price $2.89; I paid $.90
Kraft Mayo (MY brand, I'm really picky about this) - reg. price $4.29; I paid $1.80 per container (I bought 6)
Dove Conditioner - reg. price $6.29; with list $.51 (I ended up not getting this this time, since I have conditioner in the cupboard already, but almost bought it!)
Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggies - $2.69 vs. $.66!

If you are interested in this, you can check it out at http://www.thegrocerygame.com/. I'd recommend getting a stockpile of coupons first - you'll need at leaste two months' worth to get the most out of the list. You get to try the first month for only a dollar! if you decide you are interested & want to sign up, please let me know! If you use me as a friend reference, I will get a month for free!
I seriously don't think I need to go shopping next week. If we get stuff at Cash & Carry tomorrow, we will be set. :) That's a nice feeling.




You Should Light a Cinnamon Candle



You are affectionate yet mischievous. You have a warm, welcoming spirit - but you also like to spice things up.

You love hosting parties and events at your home. You love to live it up with your friends.



You're the type of person who is open hearted and accepting... as long as someone is willing to deal with your quirks.

You are both comforting and stimulating. You thrive in both familiar and exotic environments.

What Scent Candle Should You Light?

good morning


This morning I got up at 5:45a.m. and looked outside. I thought it might have snowed because it was so cold last night. When I looked at a quater to six, there wasn't any snow. When I got up for real at 6:45a.m., this is what I saw!
global warming my foot.
