My Two Cents on TLC’s Extreme Couponing

images-1

For the past few weeks, TLC has been heavily promoting the season premiere of Extreme Couponing and the commercials really peaked my interest. I thought, maybe I’d learn a thing or two about clipping coupons. So, this week, I tuned in to Extreme Couponing and live-tweeted while the episode was on. Since it was hard to get my feelings across in 140 character bits, I thought I would write a post full explaining my thoughts. If you aren’t familiar with the show, each episode documents several “couponers” from obtaining the coupons all the way to the checkout line at the grocery store.

Movie Monday: The Social Network

Tweet NOTE: If you don’t want to know key aspects of the film (i.e. SPOILERS), you probably shouldn’t read this post. I decided to skip the opening weekend crowds and see The Social Network on a Monday afternoon. The theater was empty at first but soon filled up with all kinds of people – young ones playing…

NOF_Header_large

Tweet   I am on the ABC.com mailing list and occasionally get e-mails about new shows and specials sent to me.  A few days ago, I was offered a sneak preview of the first episode of the new ABC drama ‘No Ordinary Family’. The show revolves around an “ordinary family” that consists of Stephanie Powell,…

Dave Matthews Band "Larger Than Life in 3D" Movie Review

Tweet I just got home from Larger Than Life in 3D featuring Dave Matthews Band.  Since it was announced, I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the movie, which will only be out until December 17th.  It is playing in 500 theaters across the country, so I thought for sure it would be crowded….

Live Every Day To The Fullest. Have Hope. Do Life!

It's Not Vaudeville, It's Banana Shpeel!

Tweet I’ve seen the new Cirque du Soleil Banana Shpeel show advertised around the web and must admit, I am intrigued. Just the name made me laugh.  Although I’ve never seen a Cirque du Soleil show live, I have seen them on television.  Even on TV they are absolutely amazing, so I can only imagine what…

Lucky Cat Tattoos: MAJOR #fail. Twice.

Tweet For those of you that have followed my blog for a while might remember in March when I went to get a tattoo on my wrist as a tribute to Harry.  I had “designed” it myself, although it was quite simple:  a big bold “lmL” with the words “Forever in my heart 8.11.76-1.22.09″ underneath…

Knoyce…It Really is Better Than Just Nice.

Tweet I recently came across a new social networking site called Knoyce. The word Knoyce is based on the word nice, but it implies that something is “better than just nice”. And that it is.  Knoyce is a combination of all the great things on all sorts of social media sites. On Knoyce you can: Create a customized…

Lemon Tree: Epic Fail

Tweet I had decided last week that I wanted to do something different with my hair. I hadn’t colored it in about 2 years and I needed a cut. Being the frugal one I have become lately, I went to Lemon Tree instead of going to a salon that would charge more than I could…

I Really *HEART* Entrecard

Tweet It is official.  I am a “drop-a-holic”.  I discovered EntreCard, a tool for bloggers to discover new blogs and get their blog seen as well.  I’ve only been a member for a few days, but I’m already hooked.  While skepticals may say that this will increase your bounce rate while other “drop-a-holics” just visit…

5 As Seen on TV Products Gone Terribly Wrong

Tweet Over the years, I have been wooed by the commercials.  You know which ones I’m talking about. Those As Seen on TV products that they make look like the BEST things you have ever purchased in your life?  I usually wait until these products are at CVS and then purchase them for around $9.99…

DVDXpress: Two Thumbs Up!

Tweet You know those DVD rental kiosks that you see in the supermarket? Well, I always walked by them and never paid attention while I went to Blockbuster. For a few years after I met Harry, I signed up for Blockbuster Online.  This worked out for us because with a $17.99 per month membership, you…

My trip to see DMB on The Today Show #fail

Tweet I attended the Today Show this morning to see DMB perform live.  I knew as this was a free show and first come, first serve, that I would need to get there early.   I arrived at 12:50am and there was already a crowd on line, camped out. There were 110 people in front…

Ten books I've read lately

Tweet 1. A Short History of Nearly Everything Not recommended for anyone who hated high school science, like me…quite a boring read, although makes some interesting points. I thought I would learn something by reading it, since I always hated/failed science. I couldn’t finish it…it put me to sleep! 2. The Curious Incident of the…
