What I love most about having company over is it forces me to clean my house

I finished reading New Moon in two days.  Yes there was a little bit of that ooey gooey teenage mushy romance that made me want to vomit but really not very much.  I can’t wait for the movie.  I am so addicted to these characters.  I haven’t read a book like that in a long time so it was kind of nice to be able to escape into something that way.

Eva’s favorite book right now is Goodnight Gorilla.  It is the perfect book for her age.  Not very many words but a lot going on in the pictures.  It gives us a lot to talk about and she can tell me what is going on in the story.  She loves the page with just the two surprised eyes in the dark room.  She makes me read those last few pages over and over and over again.

I love saving money!  Ever since we started our Debt Diet I have been a coupon cutter.  Never have paid much attention to ads or coupons before but now that I have more time to do it I love it.  So far this year I have spent $162 at CVS and saved $201!  Everything I buy is something that I genuinely need, I don’t just buy stuff because it is on sale.  Today I went to Albertsons my final bill was $60 and I saved $58.  I cut my bill in half!  I know there are ways to save even more than that but I am still learning. 

I do buy the paper and get coupons that way but I find my best coupons come from registering on product websites.  It’s true I get a million E-mails a day but it’s worth it if it means I am saving more money.
