Got my $10 from CVS for completing the survey.  I already have $10 ECB, and I have a $4 off $20 coupon.  I ALSO have a coupon for a free razor which is a $10.xx value, so I may use that and save one of the $10 ECB's.

Lydia's 2 year check up went great.  I was a little leery of the new pedi at first (hers got married and moved to Mississippi).  But he was very thorough and asked questions and listened.  I think it'll be fine.

Today

I got a heads up that Publix had Special K B1G1 and I had B1G1 coupons.  In a PERFECT world, they would have given me 8 boxes for free with my 4 coupons.  However it didn't work that way.  Sigh.  But I DID get 8 boxes of Special K and 2 boxes of Swiss Miss Cocoa (which was $1.99 each and I had 2 $2 coupons) and a small pack of Ritz Bits from the Checkout for Lydia for a grand total of $8.66.

Then we went to CVS with my 5 Free SoBe coupons and I heard that the Scanner was shooting out coupons for $.50 off of a Dove Bar which was on Sale for $.89 and $.89 cents ECB back. 

I got 5 SoBe Lifewaters, 2 Milk Chocolate Dove Bars and a small bag of Gummy Lifesavers.  I had a $1 ECB from using my reusable bag with green bag tag.  After the coupons I paid $1.18, and got $.89 back.  I also used my reusable bag and green bag tag (every 4 scans, you get $1 back - only can use once a day).

Then when I came home I had an email from CVS Advisor for a survey that they are going to reward me with $10 ECB!  THEN when Fred got home with the mail I had another Gerber Formula Check for $5.25 and a Free issue of Woman's Day Magazine!

Pretty Awesome Mail Day Yesterday

I got:

• the $25 AmEx Gift Card I won from Twitter (sending it to my Mom as a late Christmas gift)
• Hubby got the $25 WalMart Gift Card he redeemed with his points from his Bank Card (picked up some needed groceries)
• a Valentine's Day Hair Bow I won from Girlie Cues
• 5 FREE SoBe Coupons from the Promotion that they had this Summer
• $8.50 Worth of Gerber Formula Checks

McCulloch 1275 Steam Cleaner

I got this from Amazon.  (courtesy of Swag Bucks) I opened it today and steam mopped my kitchen.  I am in swoon city!  My floor is so clean!  LOL.  Then I changed attatchments and brought it to the bathroom to tackle the grout.  It made a really loud noise and scared Lydia so I had to retract my "NO DVD PRIVILAGES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY" so that she would not come near me and get burned.  Sigh.  At least she was watching a potty training video!

November is half over? Bullet points

boy oh boy!

It's been a whirlwind!  Fred got sick in August and it was 2 straight months of ER visits, Medical tests, Doctors, Specialists, Hospital Admissions....

Then, just as he was getting back on track after returning to work on October 1... We had another rush to the ER, turned out he had gall stones and went under the knife for the first time in his life.  God provided for us all along!

Last week, I turned 36. 

Today we went and enjoyed my Free Red Robin Birthday dinner, Got 3 free pairs of pearl earrings from Helzberg, got Lydia a dress from Old Navy with a Free Gift Card I'd gotten from MyPoints, and then I got a new pair of sneakers from Kohl's.

Jody (my sister) is scheduled for surgery next Tuesday to have a rod put in her broken femur.  She MAY need to have more chemo treatments, but as of right now, we don't know.
