Giddy over dancing

I am not a big reality show fan. I prefer crime shows that offer a little mystery to solve. But I LOVE Dancing with the Stars. I cannot get enough of this show. And I have seriously enjoyed this season, especially the last half. There were some disappointments. Ty Murray should not have outlasted Chuck Wicks and Lil' Kim. But those things can happen when voting is included with the results. So, we viewers have to roll with those punches. I absolutely loved the final three. Melissa Rycroft, Gilles Marini, and Shawn Johnson were the three I thought to be the most talented. They were all so entertaining! As it came down to the final show I really wanted Gilles or Shawn to win.
And after last nights dances and tonight's dance I really wanted Shawn to win. And she did!!! Yeah!!! She was so good and really deserved to take home the coveted Mirror Ball. Anyway, I am ecstatic so I thought I would share!! Can't wait for next season!

Grocery Deals

I have been cutting out coupons for a few months now. I use them every once in a while, but I have not gotten a really good deal until now.
Albertsons was having one of their "buy this many and we'll take this much off" promotions and so I dug through my coupons and tried to get some great deals. This is what I ended up with

5 Suddenly Salads-1.25 each
2 boxes Fruit Roll ups-2.50 each
1 Tub Frosting-1.67
4 Muffin Mixes-2.50 each
3 Brownie Mixes-2.50 each
4 Grands Rolls-1.67 each
3 Crescent Rolls-2.50 each
2 Cinnamon Rolls-2.50 each
1 Large Yoplait Yogurt-2.50
1 Box Pizza Rolls-1.67

Total without any deals-53.77

Total after deals and coupons-29.01

Now, that may not seem like the greatest deal around, but I was sure happy about it. Most of those were things that I like to get, but are normally too expensive for me to justify. My kiddos devour pasta salad and muffins, so right there I was stoked. The pizza rolls and fruit roll ups were just a plus.

Decent human being

I think Not!

We went to the Mall the other day for dinner and some time out of the house. We parked in a lot that is usually not crowded so we don't have to walk as far to the entrance. We had a good dinner, bought the kiddos some new shoes, and enjoyed our time out together. I reached the car first and saw the above scene. I was shocked! How did this happen? Who did this? Did they leave a note? All these questions come at me at once. There was a car parked next to ours with some people inside. I asked them if they saw anything. "no." So there we have it. Left with a lot of questions and a broken turn signal. We figure that some one was coming around the corner trying to park in the first stall. We were parked in the second. They didn't make the turn and hit our car. And instead of doing the right thing and letting us know, they just left. Not a decent human being! Luckily it still works and we have it taped into place. Looks bad, but it works.
