Say no to drama llamas on Babycenter!

Honestly, is it even worth it? Do people really get that much enjoyment out of posting anonymously on the internet? I realize it's great entertainment and all but it makes my ovaries ache knowing that some of these people have already procreated. It's a scary thought, so scary it makes me want to curl up in the fetal position sucking my thumb.

Whatever happened to good ole fashioned subtlety? Y'know, the kind that won't get you reported so you won't go crying to everyone else that you got banned. Yeesh.

Out of purely selfish reasons, please don't engage in it. This would make Group Owners so much happier.

The Potato Head Family: I'm a senior citizen at heart

The Potato Head Family: I'm a senior citizen at heart: "Y'know how people say they're really a kid at heart? I'm not one of them. I'm a senior citizen at heart. Here are my reasons: 1) I love the..."

I'm a senior citizen at heart

Y'know how people say they're really a kid at heart? I'm not one of them. I'm a senior citizen at heart. Here are my reasons:

1) I love the early bird specials at restaurants. They appeal to my appetite and wallet.
2) I refer to rude young people as whippersnappers and mutter about them having no respect for their elders.
3) I rock out to oldies music. In fact, I did that today at Shop Rite.
4) I have gray hairs to prove it.

It's amazing I don't refer to Tater Tot as "Sonny Boy." Give it time though and I will.

A rainy uncaffeinated morning, Rite Aid and a cocktail

Now you'd think the words in the title wouldn't seemingly go together but oh, they do.

Tater Tot and I got off to a late start this rainy uncaffeinated morning (no coffee for me yet). I drop him off at school and I pop into the Rite Aid. I don't know why I became confused (at this time I'll blame it on the no caffeine yet - easy excuse) but I managed to mess up how my coupons worked with Rite Aid's sales. After ringing me up twice and voiding me twice, the cashier curtly informed me I could not continue doing this. There seemed to be an tone of desperation in his voice but in the end, we (okay, I did) managed to sort things out. By the time I left the store at 9:00, I think we were both in need of a cocktail (or dozen). Oh and some caffeine for me.

By the way, I was able to procure 2 Pantene shampoos, 2 Gillette body washes and 1 Gillette deodorant for $10. Now I just have to remember to apply for the $2 single check rebate, making my shopping experience a total of $8 instead.

I'm sorry Mr. Rite Aid Cashier Guy. You should receive combat pay for dealing with me this morning.

Blah blah blogging

At the encouragement of several friends, I've decided to start a blog. Never mind the fact that I probably lead the most humdrum life, I have officially caved to peer pressure. Okay, so it wasn't exactly pressure. It was more "You should really do this. I'd totally follow your blog.". Hmmmmmm, time will tell.

Please forgive me in advance for being a virgin blogger. I never thought anybody would actually want to read the ramblings of a stay at home mom and her exciting adventures in couponing, Bento boxing and volunteering as a Group Owner on several Babycenter boards. I'd wanted to call this blog "Blah blah blog" but unfortunately, that name was unavailable. Whodathunkit?
