Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Bouquet of FlowersI hope everyone is having a Blessed Holiday.  I found some Easter cartoons (please note that they do not portray that Jesus is really the reason for the season, but funny none-the-less).

My greatest shopping find this week had to be at Wal-mart.  They had their Betty Crocker frostings “rolled back” to only 88¢ a tub, a deal in itself.  But on the BC cake mixes below them, there were 50¢ off peelie coupons off frosting (no cake mix purchase required).  I bought ten (I like the “whipped” varieties) at 38¢ each!  And there is no tax on food in Nebraska.  Looks like we’ll be making lotsa cupcakes soon!

When in Omaha last week with my daughter for a doctor’s appointment, I ended up buying 5 pairs of shoes! The first two I got at Famous Footwear where I combined the BOGO sale with 2 $5-off coupons I had received in the mail, so only paid $10 for both pair!  The next ones I got at Kohl’s on clearance for $7.99, $8.99 and $9.99, all name brand nice shoes.  Too bad my coupon for an extra 15%-off expired the day before.

Also while in Omaha, we met my brother for lunch at Old Chicago, and even after indulging in my favorite pizza, I’ve still managed to lose five pounds this week following the 4 Golden Rules to Be Thin.  Now, I’d like to lose 15 – 20 more.

Have a Blessed Easter!

Sorry for the delay in blog updates. I hope you’ve been reading Connie’s Blog as she has been good at writing.

My new house is officially being built! They say building a house is stressful on marriages, so good thing I’m no longer married! I get to make all of the decisions myself. Of course, my kids have a lot of input, but they have to be reminded they aren’t the ones paying for it! I am posting pictures and updates in our forum of the house’s progress.

There may be a few delays in the whole site’s updates over Easter vacation. My kids’ grandma is taking them to DisneyWorld in Florida! And I figured I would be bored home alone, so booked a flight to Denver to stay with a friend.
