Shelvin’ the Sonics…well kinda.

Yes, our guest room is entirely cloaked in green and gold. Our compromise was that he could have this room to display all of his knick knacks as long as I could have the rest of the condo! I think it was a fair trade 🙂 The BF got all of these cool Sonics giveaways from a season ticket holder and I thought it would be cool to display them – in comes handyman Keith who helped me install these shelves the other weekend. I think everything looks mighty cool all displayed like that – especially that Webby Award!

Gobble Gobble

Gobble Gobble, Thanksgiving

Good times at the annual Gobble Gobble Drink-a-Long at Danny’s. Had to move the party to the eastside after a bit-o snow and ice on the roads – hopefully that won’t stop us from heading back to The Duchess next year! Still had a grand time though – the regulars were in full force! And add a little shake weight action and you’ve got yourself a real fun time!

Coupon clippin’

Couponing

I’ve decided to start clipping coupons. Like really clip coupons. Like do the research and spend the time hunting down the real deals. I’m sick of spending $75 for two people’s groceries for the week – so ridiculous – but we eat so well 🙂 So now it’s time to get serious about our spending habit, especially with the BF’s job situation. And hey, I wouldn’t mind a few extra dollars in my pocket at the end of the week.

I began by doing a bit of online research; I really found this site to be helpful and it was from a local gal from Tacoma (always a plus to support local peeps!). I think the most vaulable thing I learned so far is about the difference between manufacturers and store coupons and how you can usually use them at the same time. Pair that with a deal already in the store and you got yourself a nice little discount! I also learned that you need to plan ahead – it might sound ridiculous to buy 5 boxes of cereal at once, but you save in the long run. We’ll have to do a bit of re-organizing to make space for the extra items purchased.

Here’s to the day when I pay $25 for a $50 grocery store bill! Well, that’s my goal at least……

Halloween Time!

Halloween

Another successfull Halloween! Spent the evening playing beer pong at our friend Kyle’s newly purchased house in Renton. The Geisha sleeves weren’t exactly ideal for hittin’ those cups and our winning streak was broken by Alice and the Mad Hatter. Oh well. We saw quite a few great costumes including Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife, the guy who does the Humpty Dance song and a homemade Oscar the Grouch. Can’t forget my sister, Liz, who rocked a handpainted Sponge Bob Square Pants outfit!
