Bristol Palin Not Afraid of Life

Bristol Palins Not Afraid of Life My Journey so Far was a fast read.  The first two thirds of the book was nothing new..  the content has been well documented before.  However the last hundred pages has new information and shows evidence that she has grown into a woman.  Everyone has some out spoken opinion of Bristol and we never really heard her side of things.  Well this book covers everything that people has said about her and her response.  She talks a bit about her mom, but as her mom not her politics.  I liked that.  I hope that her future gives her peace and all her dreams come true.  
Over all it was a good book.  Still with all the content I don't know if she has lived her love enough to have a book.  But it was a great way for her side to come out

Again the heat is affecting the sales.  There was about 10 sales for the day and only one for tomorrow.  So again I probably won't be going.  The temp is about mid 90's.  I got a call late this morning that I have to work tonight.  Man the heat of the kitchen and the dining room air conditioning isn't working properly it's going to be a long night.  But with the heat we should be busy because people don't want to cook...  So thats good.

Look What I Bought

I bought a Blackberry Storm, it's used but it works great.  I have a lot to learn, but it's cool.  There was nothing wrong with my Blackberry Curve but The Storm is way more fun!!!

Now Available at Different Things

Dog Days of Summer

This is the only thing anyone around here wants to do.  The temperature here is the in the 90's and the humidity is very high.  The "feel like temperature is over 100 degrees.  Thank god we have central air.  I'm glad the heat waited until Sunday so I didn't have to work in this.  The air at work isn't working like it should.  It won't cool below 74 degrees in the dinning room.  Granted that temperature feels really cold when the kitchen is 100 or better.   I hope this heat leaves us before Friday when I have to work again.  Believe me I'm not complaining... I will deal with this for a couple of days...

Thats all.  Yesterday there was only 6 sales listed in the paper and Craigslist.  However I found at least 10 more that weren't listed.  But for today there was only 2 sales listed, so I didn't go.  It wasn't worth the gas nor the time.  I have never seen so few sales during July.  Last week was hot, but not this week.  Next week it suppose to be hot again so if the heat has anything to do with it, there won't be many sales!  I hope not.

Walgreens Noxzema 4 pk razors $5.99 each and they are on sale buy one get one free.  I used 2 - $2 coupons that I had from other packages I bought months ago.  I opened the new packages hoping for more coupons, but no luck.  Walgreens brand razors are free after register rewards and GUM floss is free after register rewards. 

Pick N Save
Sunkist Almonds (they are so good but very expensive) $3 and I had a $1/1 coupon from the Sunday inserts, doubled.  Kleenex 3 pk uprights $2.99 and I had a $.60 coupon that I printed off the net, can't remember where.  But that was doubled.  Clear Value brand leaf bags on clearance $.89.  Nabisco crackers $5/2 and I used $1/2 coupon from the Sunday inserts that was doubled.  Roundy's ice cream bars $2 each.  Hot Pockets Snack bites $3.35 and I had $1/1 coupon from the Sunday inserts that was doubled.  Palermos pizza free with a coupon from the Monopoly game.  Grilling rack for fish which was 50%, summer stuff.

I haven't had a lot of time for couponing.  Our Sunday inserts are terrible.  They are so thin.  I don't think we get half the coupons other areas do.  I haven't been watching or printing alot of coupons from www.coupons.com  Now with the auction and Iola over with I will hopefully have more time for coupons and sales.

How? Why??

I couldn't believe what I was hearing while watching GMA this morning, about an 8 year old boy in New York City that had gone missing.  In a blink of an eye his life changed and his parents are feeling unimaginable pain.  I'm glad they found out quickly what happened to their adorable little boy.  My prayers go out to them.  I hope having his abduction was caught on tape which helped find the animal that kidnapped and killed this young boy will deter others from doing the same thing.  You never know when big brother is watching!!!   Just seeing this video over again is making feel sick.  How can someone do this to a child?  I want to cry for him and his parents.  I will hug my own children today... and everyday.

Summer Rental by Mary Kay Andrews Review

I can't believe it's July 13th.  I have been so crazy busy.  I also can't believe a week ago tonight we had our first night at Iola.  It was cool Thursday but Friday and Saturday it was crazy hot.  We came home Saturday night as most of the vendors left early.  On Sunday I cleaned the camper to get it ready for this weekend as my husband has a fishing tournament this coming weekend.  I did many loads of wash.  Sunday night we met with the auctioneer.  My mom got her money and finally the auction is over.  I've been working on Ebay because things are selling very very well in my store and things are starting to move again on ebay.  
I then started reading Summer Rental on Tuesday because it's due back on Thursday.  Its a long book to have finished in 2 days.  But it is a very good book.  It's about 3 long time girl friends that rent a beach house on the Outer Banks.  They are 3 women at are ready for a change in life and in direction.  They meet a new friend who join them for the month in the beach house.  Two find new love and a third commits to a long time love.  And finally another escapes a dangerous relationship which endangers the other women.  The book is good, however how different is it from other chick books written lately...  not much.
