Lemonade, anyone?

Remember that bargain lover's website I mentioned a couple of weeks ago? Well, today I found another great deal I just had to pass along to you! Since lemonade is the unofficial drink of summer, here's a coupon to help you stock up for the next several months:

This coupon is $.75 cents off any Santa Cruz Organic product. Rumor has it that it sells for $1.25 at Wal-Mart. Time to do the math, folks...that's $.50 per jar! (It comes in a glass jar rather than plastic.) The coupon doesn't have a print limit AND it doesn't expire until 12/31/09!!!! Yippee! Excuse me while I scurry out the door on my way to Wal-Mart....

Friday Photos

Yes, I know it's Monday. However, I intended to share these photos on Friday, but failed to do so. The weekend allowed time to play around a little with my digiscrapping so now you get to see them in my latest layout rather than just plain ol' photos! These pictures were taken before Emily went to the MBHS Band Banquet on May 30, 2009. She was so excited about the upcoming evening and did not want me to take these photos. She was ready to GO!! So, yes, we have a bit of a fake, cheesy smile, but it's better than nothing. LOL!

She saw this dress while shopping with me a couple of months ago and fell in love. She had to think really hard for an excuse to get me to buy it and was thrilled when she remembered the upcoming band banquet. I agreed that it looked great on her and knew I would end up buying something anyway so we bought it. She has been eagerly counting down the days until she got to wear it with those big, sparkly hoop earrings and high wedge heels! She looked just lovely...in a very hip, trendy sort of way, of course!

New DigiScrap!

I absolutely LOVE the colors in my newest digital scrapbook creation! They are perfect with this black and white photograph of Emily. I wish I still had the color version, but at least I had this one saved in my Photobucket account. You can click on the image to view it larger, but here's what the poem says:

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.

Can your fingers fall off from too much texting?

If so, Emily is DOOMED!

Last weekend, we upgraded all 3 cell phones since it had been about 2 years since we had done so. Today, Emily asked me if the Auburn fight song was downloadable on her phone. I figured it was, but decided to check online to make sure. (and it is) While browsing around, I noticed that it said we had sent 5021 text messages since May 22nd...beginning of our billing cycle. I laughed out loud and thought "There's no way that right!" So, I decided to pull our last 2 bills to check the usage. In March, Emily sent 3,951 text messages!!! As if that's not shocking enough, in April she sent....are you ready for this? 11,084!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that's ELEVEN THOUSAND AND EIGHTY FOUR text messages in ONE MONTH! I almost spit my tea all over the desk!

So, apparently 5,021 is accurate....and apparently Emily has waaaaaay too much time on her hands! Chores, in abundance, are headed her way.

Yes, I live in Texas

Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about
us folks from Texas ...

If someone in a Lowe's store offers you
assistance and they don't work there, you may live
in Texas;

If you've worn shorts and a parka at
the same time, you may live in Texas;

If you've had a lengthy telephone
conversation with someone who dialed a
wrong number, you may live in Texas;

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere
south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in
Texas;

If you measure distance in hours, you
may live in Texas;

If you know several people who have hit
a deer more than once, you may live in
Texas;

If you install security lights on your
house and garage, but leave both
unlocked, you may live in Texas;

If you carry jumper cables in your car
and your wife knows how to use them,
you may live in Texas;

If the speed limit on the highway is 55
mph -- you're going 80 and everybody's
passing you, you may live in Texas;

If you find 60 degrees 'a little
chilly,' you may live in Texas;

If you actually understand these jokes,
and share them with all your Texas
friends, you definitely live in Texas.

Shannon & Glenn...DigiScrapped!

While recently browsing Shannon's new beach photos on Facebook, I came across this picture of Shannon and Glenn. I love it! Therefore, I decided to create a digital scrapbook page with it. Shannon doesn't know I'm doing this so we'll see how long it takes her to find it. LOL!
