Trick or Treat!!

Well, All City tryouts were yesterday and sad to say, Vica didn't make it. But there is still 4 more years to come.

Went to Kroger last night found the no nonsense trouser socks on sale for .99 each and with my 1.00 off coupon, I got 10 pairs FREE!!!

Found the Cottenelle 4-pak on sale for 1.19 with my .25 coupon I got the 4-pk for just .47! I stocked up on this one, I think we have enough to last through all of winter.

Weekend is here yeahhhhh! It's Halloween and it's my very first year to hand out candy and I'm so excited. My daughter is going to her friends house this time and so I'll be home with Al and we are going to hand out candy and doing some scaring. hehe

On another note, I found out a couple of days ago that my good friend has her daughter in the hospital in ICU. Apparently, her heart started beating very fast and was taken to emergency, well they had to do surgery and put a catherer in her heart. She is in ICU at this time and there were other complications from the surgery. Anyone reading this blog, I ask that you please pray for my friend. She is only 25 and has two small children, ages 4 & 5. Thanks

I had the last say

Ok went to Target again yesterday to finish off my Lipton Q's, I proceeded to a cashier and come to find out, it's Sara. The cashier who denied my Q's last time, stating that they could only accept one or the other and not both Manufacture/Target Q's on one item.

After scanning my items, I handed her my Q's, she stops and turns to tell me "sorry we can't take both on one item." I stopped her and corrected by stating
"Yes you can. You are allowed one Manufact and one Target unless it says "can not be combined" which neither do." She started to tell me again and I stopped her again and our conversation went like this

Me: yes you can or you can ask Brian if you'd like
Sara: who's Brian?
Me: he's your store manager, who informed me that I could indeed use both of my
coupons.
Sara: (looked at me like huh?)
Me: OR if you'd like I can bring your coupon policy in from my truck, I had it emailed to me directly from corporate.

I got 5 boxes of the family size tea bags for $1.45

Have a nice day Sara!

Wag's Update

Well, got my call back from Wag's, got the apology I was expecting AND I was told to come in to get my shampoo AND a $10 gift card for the failed customer service from his acting manager on duty.

I thank you!

Arrrgggghhhh

Ok I had a very nice weekend. Friday night went to NMHS football game, daughter played with the Big Blue band, NMHS won!

Saturday did some shopping to use Q's and almost had it out with the stupid cashier at Wags, according to her if the item I purchase if less than the coupon says to take off that would be "stealing by coupon" LOL can you imagine? Well, one call to corporate office will fix that today. She flat our refused to use my Manu Q's. Never fear, Beli's bitchin' is here. =) I will get my items along with an apology. Spent the rest of Saturday clipping my new coupons, organizing and watching movies. I was being spoiled seeing as I went and stayed at my sister's house to stay with mom, while her and the hubster went to San Antonio to his company picnic. She has cable! I love me some Tru TV, Discovery Channel.

Sunday, me and Al attended the Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay game at Texas Stadium. Cowboys won!! Al was like man this is so cool.

Finally made it home around 11:30pm. Now when we left Saturday from my house it was about 3 or 4 in the afternoon, so we left plenty of water and food for the dog and cat to last til we got home Sunday. Well, we get home, see Vica's bedroom door open meaning one thing.......her cats got out. That's not a problem because they are all litter trained.

So we start calling them and I hear this frantic Meow coming from my kitchen and I can't seem to find the darn cat. Again, MEOW, finaly after a few more of them, we see my daughter's cat's head stuck, yes I said STUCK in the little hole on a desk. Let me explain

I have a desk in my kitchen, it has the door where the computer tower stand goes, however at this point nothing is in there. In that space is a hole to pass your wires through and that is where the cat's head was stuck. Now Lord only knows how long she was there because yes she had peed on herself and feces. The door to this area was not open however the shelf right above it does not go all the way to the back so I can only guess she got CURIOUS and jumped on the small shelf and fell to the bottom of the tower cabinet and couldn't get the door open so she tried to get out through the hole. I broke away part of the desk to get her out, went immediately to bathe her and she sat there like nothing under that running water. I think she knew I was trying to make her smell good. STUPID CAT!
