Good Morning!

We've had a slow Internet connection. It took me twice as long as normal to change the stuff on my blog. We have a Sprint Card (which is really meant to hook up to a laptop) as our Internet service. It's a wireless card that works through satellite I believe. When Russell used it in SC it worked really good even if he was on the road. When we first started using it here it worked pretty good but now it keeps getting bogged down and goes really slow loading stuff. There are a few months left to the contract so we are trying to hold off before we get regular Internet here. It bothers Russell more than me because he likes to play his MySpace Mobster game.

Here's a conversation that happened at work the other day. Two guys came up to my register. One is maybe in his late 30's and the other one in his 50's. The 30 guy asks me....do you know anybody for my friend here? He meant a girlfriend. I said...not really, I have not lived here that long. He said how about you? I said I have a boyfriend. Then I tell him that I found him on the Internet and maybe his friend could find one there too. He said his friend could not even turn on a computer, never less a woman. His friend said ohhh I can turn on a woman. (just a note, 50's guy was....well I don't know what he was but he was yucky! can't think of any other word) He starts again and asks if I know anyone. I said...go ask another cashier. hehehe

I have a ton of zucchini.....really big ones that Russell's sister gave him. I'm going to make zucchini bread with some and just grate and freeze the rest for making bread later. Either way...I'm not looking forward to doing all that grating. It's probably about 25 lbs of zucchini!

I've been doing great with coupons! I also discovered CVS extra bucks where you buy certain products and you get extra bucks back on your receipt that you can use next time. I went there twice this week. I got 5 containers of Purex detergent (32 load size), excedrin and Garnier hair dye and other Garnier products. I had $8 worth of manufacturer coupons and after using those and the bucks I got the first time and the ones I got the second time I sure did save a lot. The SALE price of the products would have been $33 and in the end I only spent around $7.95. (this was counting $14 I got back in extra bucks!) Not too bad. Then I went shopping at Walmart last night around midnight and I saved $34 in coupons and another $5.95 with my Walmart discount. I always thought using coupons was a waste of time but it really pays off. We just got a new Walgreens here and I'm going to see if they have any type of a reward program like CVS.

Our water here is really horrible! The Pur Water filter we bought awhile back is not working right. I had to buy bottled water. We use a lot of water for coffee, drinking and cooking and it could get expensive. I think we need one of those under the sink water filters. We are going to look into it.
***** Edited to add The smell of chlorine in the bathroom this morning from the water was so bad that it just about gagged me! To me that says the water is very bad when they have to add so much chlorine!

Well that's about it for now. I've got to work today and tomorrow...but later hours which I like.
Y'all have a peace filled day.
Blessings
