Totally Random stuff

1. Today is September 11.....I can't believe it has been 7 years already. Always remember, never forget.
2. I am a simple person. I maybe, sometimes get a little excited over small things. Like the new magic markers I bought for Abby yesterday. The covers are soooo easy to snap on. I used to always only buy Crayola. You have to admit, they are the 'superior' magic marker. But of course, my frugalness (or cheapness, however you want to look at it) usually dictates what I buy these days. So I was at Office Max last night picking up a few things for work and a few last minute things for Jamie (a new scientific calculator....the 3 rd one since 7th grade). I happened to walk by the clearance section (oh, who am I kidding?! I didn't just happen to walk by, I walked by on purpose) and noticed these cute markers.....Office Max brand. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality....and of course the easy snap on covers.
3. I just got a call from a friend. She is involved in newspaper sales....I love newspapers. Do you know why? Because newspapers have coupons in them and I LOVE coupons. So she was telling me how she has all these newspapers in her garage. Apparently the distributor doesn't want them back when they haven't sold. He says to just recycle them. So she is giving them all to me!! And that means I will have lots and lots of coupons (there goes that "simple person" thing again)!!!! I can't wait to tell Louise ("Hi Louise"). And since this is a weekly thing for my newspaper friend, I can have the extras every Sunday. EVERY SUNDAY!
4. I was thinking that maybe I would start another blog. I wanted to have a designated space to post my good deals. Some of my "many" readers ("Hi Barbara"! I think you are the only one who reads regularly.....oh, and maybe Mary does too, "Hi Mary"!) might not know that I am a coupon using, deal getting, money saver. I spend very little (really, like $notverymuch dollars) per week/month/year on groceries, toiletries, clothing etc. I want to share my knowledge as well as have a portal to document these deals. I'll let you know what I decide....
5. I still knit. I knit alot. I want to post more of my crafting/art things here on the blog. I have made 2 baby sweaters and a pair of mittens and quite a few pairs of socks this summer.

I hear someone calling my name.....oh crap, it's the 35,000,000 loads of laundry calling me! I have figured out how to feed my family for pennies but I can't figure out how to decrease my LPW (Loads Per Week).......Any hints?
