I can't remember if I posted yesterday or not, Snowflake, but I downloaded both the apps. Now I am READY for the deals!

Very cool!! Hope you like them!!

If you have certain stores that are your faves, download their free apps & you'll have your coupons right there at your fingertips!! For example, I have Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and Shopko on mine. And I just open up my app & have them scan my coupons from there to get the deals =]

OMG! In the "hurryness" of getting ready for our trip to Madera, I forgot to bring Hubby's GIANT Easter egg to be filled with chocolates. (He gave up chocolates for Lent.) I also bought one for my former classroom aide and forgot to give it to her, too! What a dope I am! Oh, well, they'll get them when we get back home. Hmmm. Maybe I can get the chocolates on sale, LOL!!! I bought the eggs at Target in the $1 and sale section for $3 each. And believe me, they are huge! It will take four or five large bags of M&Ms to fill them!

good evening everyone...hope your all having a fantastic day...have you guys all bought your easter eggs for your loved ones???....:sparkle:

Hello everyone! I didn't really get to post yesterday, I was super busy with the girls. Then my husband did a lot of work in the kitchen when he got home. Part of the kitchen renovation included tearing an existing wall down and he decided to do that last night. What a mess. I have been cleaning as best as I can but that darn dust gets in to every nook and cranny of the house. I was behind him with the vacuum the whole night, lol. We are going to have to go out this year for Easter dinner. I usually host it but since nobody offered to reciprocate I decided to make reservations at one of our favorite restaurants. We will be taking my parents. I'm looking forward to when this kitchen is finished because this room really is the heart of my home. And I love to entertain. Anyway, I am off to the mall with the girls now. I hope everyone is doing well and I will be back later to catch up with some reading here. Oh yeah, I got my Iphone, still trying to figure it out! Wishing you all a wonderful day!!!

Good Friday afternoon, MMC!

I hear you on that one, CM3. I had to take a four-hour test to become an LDS (Language Development Specialist). It was a mixture of multiple choice, short answer, and essay. The multiple choice was the hardest mc test I have ever taken. One of the things that made it so hard is that, like you said, it appeared to have more than one correct answer. In reality, it was only the difference of one or two words. In addition, it took four to six weeks to get the results. I am glad those days are over! Becoming LDS certified was as bad, if not worse, than getting my Master's!

The questions this time around were more in depth and it sounded like there could have been more than one correct answer when In reality that was not the case !! xoxo

Sounds good! Let me know if any others come to mind, I like stuff like that! I Love to watch The Good Witch series, It's the great pumpkin, Disney's the headless horseman, Donalds scary tales, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, The Haunted Mansion, Harry Potter and things like that. I also like Ghost Busters, Rocky Horror Picture show, Frankenstein and any old B&W scary movies (they don't bother me...)

Yes!! Me, too. Love The Good Witch series! Wish they were all available on DVD. I finally found The Adventures of Ichabod (The Headless Horseman) last year on DVD- such a classic!

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a beautiful day here in Central Indy with a high of 55 and mostly sunny. My big plan for today is to get a jump on my prep work for Easter. I have to make my normal macaroni salad so I want to get everything cut up for it today and I want to get my carrots peeled and cut up for the roasted carrots I'm going to make. Then I have a few errands to run. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished making my mac salad!

I am sure you won't be sorry. I just love Claymation. After seeing your clips, it makes me wish I had brought my copy with me!

I remember that well, I have been watching the price on that one for a long time waiting for it to drop in price.

I love the version of Rudolph by the California Raisins

I think I am just going to have to break down and buy it.

 

[Seawaters]

Good thinking on that one, Star.

that is when the water battle starts!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Now that sounds like one complicated cake, Star! Can't wait to see it!

Back from a quick trip to London. Now I have to get busy with a cake that is due for pick up on Saturday. Going to have triumph spitfire on it, plus a garden, and some Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Maple Leaf stuff for a guys 50th birthday.

But for now, I am going to relax and just enjoy some tv and bake a cheese cake for family dinner tomorrow.

Thanks, CM3. When we get back home, I will be posting a pic of a special saint for you. My SIL has a gorgeous home with several "alcoves," one with a statue of a saint. Wait until you see it--beautiful!

Good morning, Christmas family

Just starting to work, which is late for me. Hoping all have a safe and wonderful Good Friday and a very Happy Easter. For those who believe, let us take a moment to remember the events of this day, for those who do not, I give you great respect and love and also wishes for a wonderful weekend. ((((HUGS))) to all xo

 

[Seawaters]

Hilarious, XmasTidings. Did you see any other fellow shoppers that normally frequent that establishment, LOL?

I went online last night to the ACME website and made a special little purchase just for today....He-he-he...

 

[Christmasstar]

almost have everything ready to go, so instead of just finishing thought I would come here and see what you all were up to.

 

[Seawaters]

Man, oh, man!

and homemade butter milk biscuits for breakfast

 

[Christmasstar]

my son took this picture of our church this morning when we arrived for the Good Friday service.

 

[Seawaters]

I hear you on the "re-purchasing" of movies...and books...and cooking supplies...and, well, etc.

That's a great idea, mine are just all piled into totes with no special order or sequence. Being disorganized like that, I have in the past, simple forgotten and have accidently gone out and purchased a movie that I had already purchased previously and forgot all about it. A year later, I'm pulling movies out of the totes, scratching my head and saying to myself; "Huuugggghhhh, where'd this come come"???? I really do like your taste in movies SF....cheesy

 

[Seawaters]

I would like to see it, too!

Yes!!! That's exactly it, too!
There's been times that I couldn't remember if I actually bought a movie, or still needed to buy it. I keep an Amazon wish list & had to update it so it was accurate, lol.

If you make your own list, I'd love to see yours too!

I love Something Wicked This Way Comes, too. I also love the book!

Well then it's good I didn't list all of my scary movies, lol!

Something Wicked This Way Comes, Lady In White, Hallowe'en Party, It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Etc. are all great Fall/Halloween/mysteries/ghost stories that are seasonal for me. Love them!!! But not gory, etc.
