Friday.

Thrilling blog title entry, yes?

It's dark and rainy out this morning.
The kids are still snoozing away (it's a "no school" Friday).
The dog has been taken out, fed and is now snoring in the corner.
I have hot coffee in my hand and have been catching up on some MP3 messages of Harvest's GREG LAURIE . His teaching is SO good and Biblical- for everyday LIFE. Love it.

On the agenda today:
* Tidy up the house (Bob's dad is coming over for dinner tonite)
* Find my blasted running shoes. They've been MIA for weeks and it's driving me crazy, as I only have one pair of workout shoes.
* Read with the kids for an hour.
* Run a few things to the Post Office.
*Organize my coupons into a usable system

I'm going to give the Grocery Game a whirl in a week or so, once I'm stocked in coupons and organized on how to "play" effectively. I have a girlfriend who is KILLING it every week at the grocery store- and though I've heard about this before- I haven't been interested in trying it until I heard about her savings. It's CRAZY how much she's saving AND how she's stockpiling her pantry so quickly. I'm all about saving money, so I'll keep you posted!


We went out to lunch with the hubster the other day, to a little Chinese restaraunt downtown. The food was cheap and delish and I found a sweet little photo opp spot in the alley. The kids weren't too into taking pics- but I snapped a few to remind myself of what POTENTIAL is there.
