"Then followed that beautiful season...Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
One of the best things about Summer is a nice breeze and a book at the beach. While I haven't made it to the beach yet, since it is Memorial Day weekend and you know with it being hot yesterday 90s and humid today, the beaches are packed. We are going to wait for a weekday. The beaches are pretty empty during the week. Wahoo!
I have found time to read, and am currently just starting book 6 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Now it is not my fault I am in the midst of reading an action packed series of books w/Vampires and what not. It is the fault of the girl I have been emailing with in Austrailia. She said I would love the series, so it's all her fault. LOL Most of the books I have been able to p/u at the library, which is great b/cause it is free and books 3 and 4 I *had* to download onto my phone.
The bummer part of the kindle app for iphone is 1. having to pay for books that I can't trade w/anyone. the big plus is when I read on the phone I can read in the dark. No book light needed.
When I picked up the black dagger brotherhood book from the library, I also grabbed a bunch of movies, cause again, FREE to borrow! So far with it being a much nicer than typical Memorial Day weekend, we haven't watched much TV. Tonight Tom will be all about the Blackhawks. He needs to wear a heart monitor when he watches the games. He is a high-strung mess!
I'm looking to make another run to Jewel today as they have this crazy good deal on Coke Products. 4 12 packs for 8 bucks plus then they have a coupon for a free pack of Hillshire Farms brats and polish sausage (value $.350) So I am stocking up on the diet pop that I love, as well as Minute Maid Light Lemonade. Plus I collect mycokerewards points, so every 12 pack is 10 points for free stuff like movies tix.
The other crazy good deal is I have a coupon for by 2 pkgs of Lays Potato chips and get $3 off produce. And now thru Wed the Lays chips are BOGO for $3.99, so I grab 2 bags of chips 1 plain and one bbq and get some produce (like yesterday I got potatoes and today I am going to get a watermelon --watermelon is on sale for 3.48. So that means:
4 12 packs of pop $8.00
1 pkage of cheddar wurst sausages free
2 bags of chips $3.99
1 watermelon $.48
So all that for $12.47 and I have a $5.00 off your next order coupon so my out of pocket for this stuff is:
$7.47 plus tx.
:-D Love the Memorial Day sales at grocery stores!!!
Well I am just waiting for the storm that is coming our way to hurry up and rain on us and move on so I can go for a long run since Tom is home!
