Call me obsessed, but NOTHING is wrong about saving and being frugal. Especially in times like these along with being in college and unemployed.

I spent a few days going through my coupon collection and doing research. My Kroger grocery store had a one day doubling coupons up to $1 and usually it's only .50 and tripling up to .35 which is nice, but to $1 is BETTER! I stocked up on stuff for my apartment, so yay.

Look at what $1.85 got me http://twitpic.com/dz15c It was really $56 and probably more if most of this stuff wasn't on a decent sale itself. I actually got a lot more in another transaction, but this was the impressive one.

Find out if your grocery stores do this. It's common in the south and not in the north or west. Let me know where you live and I can find your best deals. I will also tell you to start collecting coupons in the Sunday paper! & It helps to have a your own personal printer to print internet coupons. U won't be able to print them from public places because it requires a download application which public places dont let u download or install anything to the computer.

Friday I went to the Ringling Bros circus and it was AWESOME! I never thought it would be, but I won 4 tickets so I went ahead and went.

I also won 2 handbags & a $10 gift card from Debs a couple weeks ago. I'm feeling pretty luck :)

I go to move in my apartment in 10 days. Yay! I'm ready for school.

I'm not pregnant, but my sister is 20 weeks and found out today she's having a boy! So I'm getting a nephew as a 1st time auntie :) Of course I wanted a girl and in my situation it's best that its a boy because I would spoil a girl! Plus i told my sister I'd take her for dinner IF it was a girl, lol. Oh well. His name is gonna be Cedric Eugene Dunn & Ced for short. It's his daddy's name. Ced will be here December 9th!

Not only that, but I guess I forgot to mention in my last entry that I'm going to be a BIG sister! WHAT?! My dad will be turning 49 and having another kid. So weird!! But I do think it'll be nice to have another sibling because I always wondered about that, although it'll be different to what I imagined because i won't be growing up with it since I'm already grown up. At this age I only thought I'd be a mom & aunt, not a sister again. And if you didn't know my dad's wife is A LOT younger than him. This baby will come around late February early March.

Monday made 10 months for Tai & I. It's getting closer to a year. Wow. We went to the zoo last week and kinda had a mini bump. I was mad & so was he, but it was nothing bad. Thats a relationship for you. We also so Harry Potter and Bruno last week. I seen Borat, but Bruno is 10x worse in the shocking department. Sunday we went to this Indian restaurant and it was GOOOD! I also got iced chai tea, I LOVE it.

I've been tweeting a lot on Twitter. Does anyone here twitter? I got into it about a month ago, but have had the account for 2 yrs. now. I thought it was stupid, but now I'm hooked.

Gotta get on with my day. Peace!

I've been busy/LAZY.

Last week was hectic. I babysat my 1 yr old cousin & her 4 yr old brother. Man! She was a total cutie, but has horific diapers. It was day & night, the spent the whole week here. It really wasn't that bad, but I was PMS'ing and they were working my nerves. I ended up with $200 for the week, which isn't TOO bad and it's something.

I loved my weekend. Saturday I went to my grandparents house for BBQ then to my dad's for more BBQ. These were 5 hours apart and I didn't eat too much :) Then to a party of Tai's friends which was another BBQ and alcohol. It was pretty much the same people I met from the new years party so it wasn't that bad and got to know a few more better. They all went to Lamar and it makes me sad that I just can't hang out with my high school people. How awesome that would be! & it's been 6 years :( Anyway I had 3 drinks which left me tipsy. We played this drinking game called Kings. In the end the loser drinks the beer in the middle and I got that. So ewww, I HATE beer.
Sunday we were supposed to go to church, but I was feeling so uncomfortable with bloating and cramps. We went to Tai's parent's house and had lunch. Yum! it was fun just hanging out with his parents. We had watermelon and this enchillada casserole.
Afterwards we went to Mansfield to go see Public Enemies. I wasn't into seeing it, but I went and liked it. When that was over I went to Dots. I found some skinny jeans and a nice sweater for $1 each. Yay! It maybe summer, but when it cools down I'll be glad for a nice sweater. I actually have a huge winter wardrobe!

The best thing about summer is snocones. I've been having fun making mixes lol. Just adding cream makes it even better.

I'm getting a new phone. Yay! I don't even need it and have had my Samsung blackjack for 4 months now. Now I'm getting a LG Xenon touch screen cell. My twin works for AT&T and got one for selling so many and is giving it to me since she uses T-Mobile and has a G1.

Going to see New Kids On The Block next week. How awesome is that? They were my 1st crushes! I had PJ's and everything.

Also the zoo is this week, too. It'll be hot, but fun. Can't wait!

So I didn't get to be a temp mommy last week. Turns out while my gma was getting everything together my cousin (older male cousin my age) had a seizure. Then his sister ended up helping watch the kids to make it easier...she only lives across the street! lol.

I hate my emotions and how they come out during my week. I ended up just crying and my boyfriend came over after 12am when hes gotta get up at 4am to go to work and school right after. I feel so bad and guilty, yet he feels the need to make sure I'm alright. I just miss him even when he is busy and it sucks he's going to Canada this weekend, booo.

I'm trying to get more points on here. I'm almost close to getting an ipod shuffle, yay!

Last night I got some crocs... I know people think they're ugly, but they're so comfortable. I got the mary jane kind. I have never been able to get them in stores with my big foot size not in stock. Luckily they were clearance with 50% off when you bought 2. Whee!

I babysat the whole weekend. I don't get paid too well, but either way it's money!

I'm trying to get rid of this headache. It's ruining my night.

I want to do something fun this week... and I don't know what, but I had fun the other night with my sister and her boyfriend. We went to ihop and I just love to laugh. Her boyfriend cracks me up! He's soo goofy.

Oh yeah I started eating healthier and go walking. It feels good and I'd like to loose a good amount this summer!
