Hello! Just yesterday I was telling you how I should be getting some coupons and things to share with you. Well...today I have the very first coupon for you!!! How cool is that!? Anyhoo, the coupon is for $1.00 off any flavor Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt Multipack. Yoplait is my favorite brand of yogurt (that isn't Greek style) and though I haven't tried the Fiber One variety (yet), I'm sure most of us could use a little extra fiber in our diet. So, here is the link to the coupon:
GET MY COUPON!
I hope you enjoy this!

Ok, I've decided to be a "sellout" and add AdSense to my blog here. In case you don't know what that is, I've agreed to put ads on the sides of my blog and if anyone (hopefully you!) click on an ad I get compensated. So, feel free to click on any ad you see that catches your eye! Just another way I'm trying to earn a little extra cash in addition to couponing, freebies and internet surveys. By they way, if anyone cares to start doing surveys feel free to let me know and I'll refer you to some or all of the ones I'm participating in. It won't make you rich but in a few months I've earned around $75 just taking surveys from home on my computer. And that's just what I've been actually paid out. I've earned more but haven't accrued enough to cash out yet. Plus, you get to give your input on products and things. Sort of a win-win, I think. Oh, and I also just signed up for another blog program. Hopefully I will be getting fun stuff to share with you all like "coupon offers, photos and images." I also understand that from time to time I will also be able to offer freebies and such to my readers. That would be YOU! I'm pretty excited about that. Who doesn't love a good freebie? I know I do. Well, I think that about covers it. I'll let you get back to you regularly scheduled lives. Bye!

Hello again! I just wanted you all to know that I haven't fallen into a black hole or anything. Between camping, visiting in AZ, and all, blogging fell by the wayside. And now that the kids are away at their grandma's I really don't know what to do with myself. I have done some cleaning/organizing. I went through my kiddo's rooms and sorted out clothes that are too small, broken toys, unused toys and such. (And I'll admit that included a few toys that were deemed too annoying to keep LOL) I've been trying to be good and get my work done before I move on to funner things. Some of you may know that I have been accused of being a "packrat." Which I vehemently deny. Yes, I have a fabric stash. And a scrapbooking stash. And a book stash. And a recipe stash. But those are things I actually USE. I'm not just hoarding things unnecessarily. I do admit that I can do a better job of organizing and storing my stashes, however. So I've been trying to do that little by little. I think I'm about ready to dive into some fun stuff, though. I have more fabric to make a couple more purses. (thanks AJP!) And I have fabric for quilting, too. And then I have patterns for more felt food. I haven't given up on that, yet!
This past weekend I finally went jackrabbit hunting with hubby. He's been wanting me to go for ages. And with the kids gone it was the perfect opportunity. His usual hunting buddy, Dave, went as well. Hubby thought it would be a good idea for me to practice a bit before the actual hunt. I am pleased to say that I hit the paper target 8 times and earned a, "Wow! That's really good!" from Dave. Unfortunately, we didn't see too many jackrabbits that night. But I did have a shot at one. Both men were hollering at me, "Shoot! Shoot! It's gonna get away! Hurry! Just shoot!" I was lining up my shot and when I did fire, it was a perfect chest shot and the jackrabbit dropped on the spot. Most of the other jackrabbits were shot (by the men folk) but continued to run before they were hunted down and finished off. Mine took just one
shot. One shot, one kill. I was pretty smug about that. Again, Dave was impressed. Hubby, too. So, I guess I'll be invited back some time. I've proved my jackrabbit hunting prowess. LOL As I mentioned, we didn't see too many jackrabbit that night. But we did spot a fox or two and a badger. Yes, a real live badger. And let me tell you, badgers are scary! Check out these pics here (look at those teeth!) and here (look at those claws!). Yikes! That may have been why we didn't see many jackrabbit. Too many predators out.
Anyway, I'm baking some zucchini bread right now. Smells insanely yummy. Unfortunately, it's not made from zucchini from our garden. Our zucchini plants didn't survive. But our neighbor came by one day with a wheelbarrow (yes, an actual wheelbarrow) full of zucchini and cucumber he was diving away. Lucky! We've got one regular tomato and one cherry tomato just about ripe. We got a few wonky shaped cucumbers and a beet that we picked. But that's about all. Besides all the sunflowers. We've got A LOT of those. Here are a few pics of our garden.

Well, I think my zucchini bread is just about done. I can hardly wait to eat a slice. Yummy! Ok, then I will talk to you all later! Bye!
