lunch of Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake at

the Cheesecake Factory. Can you say YUM?

Free Movie Wednesday!

Here is another Wednesday-only promo code from Redbox. There will be a new Free Movie Wednesday code every Wednesday in March.

JBG123

Expires tonight (Wed, Mar 11) at midnight CST.

Update: Some users had problems using this code in the early morning hours due to a glitch at Redbox. This now appears to have been fixed. Because of this error, Redbox is going to add another Free Movie Wednesday code the first week of April.

We're going camping!

First, a little camping humor...

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep.

Some hours later, Tonto woke the Lone Ranger and said, "Kemo Sabe, look at sky. What you see?"

The Lone Ranger replied, "I see millions of stars."

"What that tell you?" asked Tonto.

The Lone Ranger pondered for a minute and then said, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you, Tonto?"

"You dumber than buffalo patties. It mean someone stole tent!"

OK...I know it's corny, but I laughed out loud when I read that one. Thanks, mom!

Now, on to real life...we're going camping! We so seldomly get to go camping anymore due to Emily's MANY activities and our trips to Alabama, but this spring break will be spent in Arkansas at Petit Jean State Park. Perry heard about it from a couple of his friends at work. I've never been to Arkansas, but the pictures on the park website are beautiful. The main attraction at this one is a 90 foot waterfall. I can't wait to see it! Don't worry...I'll be sure to take pictures!

Free Movies!

Anyone interested in seeing a free movie tonight? If so, I've got some info you need!

Do you have a Wal-Mart nearby? Who doesn't...they are everywhere! Have you noticed that big red box advertising $1 movies just before you enter the store? It says Redbox on it. Clever name, huh? Oh, and Redbox is located in other places too for those that try to avoid Wal-Mart. Check out the link near the bottom of this post to find a location near you.

Anyway, beginning today and going through the month of March, they are implementing Free Movie Wednesdays! Just go to http://blog.redbox.com/ each Wednesday to find the new promo code. Or you can just come here since I'll be sharing it too. Today's code is 75EA16 and it will deduct the $1 movie rental fee for one day only. After you choose your movie, select Add Promo Code, enter the current code, and then Check Out.

A few things you should know if you've never rented from Redbox:
1. the movie rentals are $1 per day
2. you must return the movie by 9pm the next day or you will be charged again
3. you can rent and/or return to ANY Redbox location...it doesn't have to be at the one where it was originally rented
4. you will need a credit or debit card to use the machine
5. Most promo codes are only good until midnight of the day they are issued
6. Go to http://www.redbox.com/home.aspx to find a Redbox location near you!
7. Online rental makes it easy to choose your movie from home and then pick up at your selected Redbox location. However, you can not use promo codes when renting online.

Got popcorn?

P.S. If you've never rented from Redbox, you can also use BREAKROOM and DVDONME as promo codes to get 2 more free movies! These two codes do not have expiration dates. Once code per transaction.

Spring is coming!
