Happy Birthday
Anabel love her birthday and ever since then she has wanted everyday a birthday. She argued with me about Abby’s birthday saying ‘No mommy it’s Anabel’s birthday’ She couldn’t understand.
About everyday she says something about birthdays. It’s either her telling me first thing in the morning that it’s her birthday, or it’s giving ‘birthday hugs’ or it’s singing ‘ Happy Birthday’.
This morning when i went up to get her she said it was her birthday, ‘open presents and birthday cake mommy’ lol
And then somewhere she found a birthday card just a few minutes ago and was walking around looking at it, came to me and said ‘see mommy Anabel’s birthday!’ and then went to Abby and did the same thing :)
Another Dream
Sunday, July 24, 2011I had a very pleasant dream last night. It was so beautiful with the vivid color of the sunset and the copper of the freshly cut fields. Much different then most of my dreams i will say. :)
Now this will be the basics of the dream but i will add some details to make it more of a story form.
Setting:
A country festival held in the back field of farm. I am about 16-17 I am suppose to know Bob (my hubby)… i guess in the dream we went to the same school or something.
The Summer Festival was held in the back field of one that locals farm. There was a section of land with lush grass that had been mowed and it had plenty of trees for shade and a tire swing. There amongst the trees they had set up tables with white table cloths that held an assortment of food and drinks. Hanging lanterns with candles in them were dangling from the branches giving a wonderful glow to the area. Blankets were laid about for lounging.
It seemed as though the whole town had gathered there to enjoy the festivities. Laughter and small talk along with music from someone playing the guitar filled the air.
A big screen projector had been set up in one of the trees. As a school project all the high school seniors had broke up into groups and made videos over the year to be played here at Summer Festival. After that the judges watched the video’s they would decide the winner.
I was gathered with my group of friends, Bob was with his fellow football players whom didn’t befriend people like me and the people i hang out with, they were sitting behind us. Everyone sat and watched the videos.
In my part of our video me and friend were joking around. He was a pretty big guy and playfully poking fun at me. I was in jeans and a red t-shirt my hair was long. “You better watch what you say to me mister!” again my friend threw another joke. I ran and bent down wrapping him up as hard as i could (a football move), since i chopped him at the knees he fell over me onto the ground, all my friends were laughing. “Don’t under estimate the small chick” I said laughing.
Everyone clapped after the video was played and some of my guy friends bumped elbows with me “Dude, i didn’t know you put that in the video… man” I said all embarrassed. Another friend said “No matter how good our video was we will never beat the football team” everyone murmured their agreement. I turned back and gave Bob an ornery grin with a shake of my head. We hid it from everyone but we kinda had a thing for each other, at least Bob liked to secretly give me looks and we did this back and forth.
The sun started going down when they announced that in fact the football team had won “Oh well, we know we had the better film anyways” We said as I watched the football team congratulating themselves.
As it began to get dark people started walking towards the fields, holding lanterns. Lights flickered across the plain. I followed with one of my girl friends. I was in a pretty dress and boots…. i looked quite like a flower child, which is funny because it is so something i would have worn.
A song broke out and soon most everyone was singing as they walked and watched the sun set.
Bob gestured towards me as i was walking. I slowed and he came to walk next to me. We were silent for a long time and the crowd of people slowly got further away. Finally Bob said “This is our farewell party from high school”
“Yes and a hello into adulthood. Oh how i will miss it!” I said, causing Bob to stop walking.
I stopped and looked at him “Yeah but maybe adulthood won’t be so bad?” he said giving me a warm smile and putting out his hand for me to take.
And we walk away into the sun set.

Might be cheesy but at least it was a pleasant dream! Not a scary one like i usually have LOL And it had my hubby in it, which makes it all the better!
Shopping at Walgreens 7/21/11
Thursday, July 21, 2011I had $21 Register Rewards from my last shopping trip that expire on 7/24 and some good deals came just in time to use them all!.
I was dissapointed when i got to the store because krazycouponglady.com had advertised that Keri lotion was $6.99 with a $5 reward back, that along with my $2 off coupon was suppose to make it free. But it must have been a sale only in certain areas because at my store the lotion was $8.59 and no register rewards…. which kinda through me off some cause my amounts were all thrown off. But i managed ok, not as good as i would have but oh well! Oh and also it was the same with the Post cereal she had listed on sale too…. no sale in my store… once again SAD! :(

Then i still had a $5 register reward that was going to expire on the 24th. I should have went back into the store and picked out things i really needed…. feel stupid for that. But when i get up to the register i feel weird if i don’t finish right there….
Anyways i had on the counter the Keri lotion that i thought was on sale and wasn’t… and i had a coupon for it. So i ended up getting on lotion at $8.29 - $2 coupon and used my $5 RR for it.
Making it $2.08 with tax.
Grrr for me, i could have gotten more mac + cheese or something. Stupid me. But oh well… maybe i will do better next time!
My Savings: $7.00
