I think I have a problem...I couldn't resist getting a set of these Fiestaware dishes in Shamrock color. :) For some reason they were in the clearance section at Macy's today. I went back this evening to get some more to have a set of four. I feel like I have been spending far too much money although I won't have to buy a few things for a while...like....q-tips, lotion, deodorant, shave gel,toilet paper, band aids, crystal light, cereal, hamburger helper, crackers, etc...I think now I will only need the basics like milk, bread and eggs and lettuce each week. I guess patience is in order to see the benefits of planning ahead. Yeah I don't care if I get made fun of for collecting coupons, but it does help save me some. Makes me wonder how I ever paid full price for stuff. I think I am planning on not going to Target for at least a week...well I'll try not to. ;)

free smoothie today

I went to the mall to get a free smoothie today and ended up leaving with a free yummy smoothie from Orange Julius and shamrock fiestaware at a bargain price. Macy's had some in the clearance section marked 40% off the already reduced price. I picked up two pasta plates and a small plate. I want to start getting more of the Shamrock color because as you I do love green..why I didn't start with green I don't have the faintest idea.

I went to the downtown market in Bangor. Its going to be going on every Thursday evening 5-8 all summer. There were not as many vendors as I expected but still was fun to check out the jewelry and hang for a bit with Cori outside of work :) And of course its always great to see Eowyn :) She's growing up so fast! I got a piece of flatbread from Daily Bread, very tasty, maybe next week I'll get a cookie.

I doubt you can see, but a bluejay just flew up and was eating out of my birdfeeder. Yay! I had not seen a bird go near it yet.

Who is that? Why its Master Shake! I made him from www.cubeecraft.com
