Blogging can be come and obsessive disease!

Posted on 07/06/2011 by admin

I have found that the more I sit at the computer, the more I sit at the computer. I find that I have less and less time during the day to get things done as I find myself making excuses to “just do one more thing.”

I was talking to my blogging BFF Terry at My Journey with Candida and she said “it is kind of like a sickness and I think I am sick.” I totally agree with her, it can become a disease and an addiction and even though I love blogging etc, enough has to be enough.
Today is the day I sit down with my daughter and make a chore chart and a schedule for the both of us.
This morning I got up at 6am and went on a 60 minute walk with the dog and my friend Janet. Then I came home, made breakfast and got the kids ready for a little bike ride around our block. I took the dog again, my daughter rode her bike and my son got pulled in the wagon. I tried to walk him but the poor boy kept tripping and after his second scraped knee we came home and got the wagon.

Now we are home, in the hot humid weather, and here I sit. I will not sit longer than this post as I need to get a schedule done.

How many other bloggers have found themselves sitting longer and longer at the computer. How many of you have had to make a schedule to keep you sane and on track?

Have a great day and I will take a picture of our completed works later today or tomorrow.

Peace!

Starting to coupon but it’s hard for healthy food!

Posted on 07/05/2011 by admin

I am not an extreme couponer (not sure if that is even a real word, but you know what I mean) by any means. The biggest reason is that most food you coupon for is not healthy and I refuse to eat it. I have been trying to cut out more for toiletries etc. and am finding that coupons.com is definitely my favorite. I don’t buy the whole newspaper thing, I don’t read it. Not reading the paper is part of my mental health journey. I am tyring to keep the negative out so I don’t read or listen to the news much.


So coupons.com is definitely coming one of my favorite sites.
I did find a coupon to day for nature valley granola bars and I LOVE those! I also look for diaper coupons in between my Amazon shipments when I run out.

If you ever get bored and want to search coupons.com feel free to do some right from here, I have added the link for you. Some of these you can even double up on them and save twice as much!

I found a couple more that I have printed while writing this too!
Yummy free chips!

OK so these are not that healthy but I do love the chips and queso from Chile’s so I had to share! We all deserve a “cheat” day every now and then!


Enjoy!

Trying Shakeology for the First Time

Posted on 07/05/2011 by admin
Shakeology! Pictures, Images and Photos

So I decided that it was about time I tried Shakeology. You have heard all the hype and I wanted to know first hand if it was as good as it says.

First of all you cannot compare this to a protein drink. I did for a long time but until you actually read all the ingredients, don’t compare it to a protein drink because it is a lot more. Link to the ingredients.

Did I LOVE it? Well not all of it. I took a video of myself trying the Green berry and Chocolate for the very first time and no I did not love it all.

Check out my Youtube video and let me know what you think. I have posted the video here so you can find it easily. I will be adding more Youtube videos so subscribe to my channel if you would like!

So I will continue to get the Chocolate but not the Green berry. I can’t wait to try the new Tropical flavor that is coming out sometime this year! I will video that one too!

I am also giving away a FREE sample of Chocolate Shakeology and I have a tab on my blog but if you want to see from here, here is the link.
If anyone else has tried it please let me know your thoughts. If you ever want to try it I hope you will come back to my website for your future purchases!

Have a great day!

Peace!

The Bank Transaction Breakdown!

Posted on 06/30/2011 by admin
OK so I am new to this lesson and thought I would share.

Let’s say you have $16.63 in your checking and less in your checking.
You have a $16.00 charge in the “pending” transaction for 3 days.
You have another payment of $75.00 check that goes through (you thought that the paycheck would beat the check you wrote but it didn’t).

Even thought the $16 has been in pending transactions for 3 days and you have enough to cover it, they put the $75 check through first and within “seconds” and I mean seconds, they post the $16 into your regular transactions.
What does this mean?
It means you get an overdraft fee of over $30 for both the check and the $16 charge.

Ok so I get that the check overdraft fee is legit but the $16 fee should not be. And the answer you get is, “well Mam, we always put the larger sum through first because they are usually the more important transactions like a mortgage, car payment etc.”
This is what I said, “I know I should be charged one fee but that $16 payment is not fair, it was in there days before the check!” The bank, “well that is our policy.”

So now, on payday I am heading into it with an just over $60 plus dollars in fees. Really? Is it just me that thinks this is scandalous? Thanks a heck of a lot XX bank and you 5 star customer satisfaction blah blah blah. I should not have been charged for the $16 payment as a negative! PERIOD!

Thanks for listening

CAN’T is not allowed here and is considered a bad “four-letter-word!”

Posted on 06/30/2011 by admin
There is a word that is in the vocabulary that, in my opinion, should not be there. That word is….CAN’T!
Seriously, have you thought about this word and what it actually means? I don’t think that I can venture on my mental journey and use this word hardly ever or AT ALL!

I had a teacher in 6th grade, well actually 2 teachers, and they would not allow this word in their class, EVER! In fact if they caught you saying it they would actually penalize you for it. I never really understood it to the fullest, but the older I get, I understand why now.

When I went to Idaho last month my brother would tell his kids, “give me 10 push-ups you just said can’t!” I have been trying this with my 5-year-old and she just looks at me and says “Mom, I can’t do push-ups!” WHAT! It is hard to get this point across to my 5-year-old but every day she gets it a little more.

This word is not longer allowed in my house, ever. I won’t even let my husband say it. It drives him crazy but I don’t care. He really is fine with it, it just bugs him because now he is realizing how much he says it.

Anyway, this is just another stepping stone in my positive thinking journey that will lead to many happy returns in my life.

I challenge anyone and everyone who reads this to take this word out of their vocabulary and see what the outcome is. I guarantee it is better then when you let yourself say it!

Have a great day!

Peace!

Posted on 06/30/2011 by admin
I got my box of diapers from Amazon today and am so excited. It only cost me $23.63 for 140 diapers. I swear, if you have not signed up for Amazon Mom yet, you need to. First off you get 15% of for choosing auto ship and then another 15% for being an Amazon Mom. This is a 30% discount and the diapers went down to .19 cents each! awesome!

Anyway, now down to business, here is the rewards code!


Code: SGPPQ-WWGSP-BCPDP

It does not always happen, but I love it when people actually let me know when they use the code. It  makes me feel good to know someone actually uses it!

Peace!
