Black Friday Fun
I'm home from shopping already and found some smokin' deals! I made out like a bandit at Toys R Us and Target. I'd give you a run down on what I got, but I don't want to spoil the surprise for my family! My sister and I met up at a slightly chaotic Toys R Us at 5am. A couple of the gifts I bought there were almost gone! I snagged the second to last on those items. Whew!At Target my sister and I combed the aisles looking for a particular gift. I spotted a woman with two of the desired item in her cart, so I asked where she found them. She directed us to an aisle end-cap... there were only two left! I must confess, I was speed walking when I spotted them because I didn't want some

Video Clip of the Week - Happy Thanksgiving!
Before we get to the video, I want to send a HUGE thank you to my readers, blog friends and their readers for a fantastic Cans For Comments last week! Wow! Several bloggers are continuing still (some through tomorrow and some through the end of the month).

Before my family and close friends think I've finally snapped - yes, I know my birthday is actually in May and that it is now late November.

That, my friends, is a Nikon D3000. Yes, I finally have joined the DS

If you participated (or are still participating!) in Cans For Comments last week, please either leave a comment here or e-mail me your tally of comments/cans! I want to post an updated total tomorrow or Wednesday and include links of all the blogs that participated (or are still running it!) in Cans For Comments!  Last year I did some super savvy Black Friday shopping. I had never been shopping in the morning on Black Friday before and found it rather entertaining and exhilarating! Last year I managed to get gifts (and good ones at that I must say!) for 15 people (some "people" were couples) for under $230. Yeah, you read that number corr

Saturday Savings - An Awesome Week!
I did some serious running around yesterday, but it paid off in a big way... especially when it came to collecting canned goods for Cans For Comments! You guys are rocking the comments this week, so I decided to start buying non-perishables now so as to ease the blow a bit (plus there were some sweet deals). Check out what I bought yesterday for $44.58!And these 25 cans (pictured on the right hand side of
