Need to get to post office - again. It's not even swap season. :confused3

Kiddos off to school.
Post office.
Milk and bread run, maybe I'll have DH do this on the way home.
Start boxing up junk/elliptical room. DH had an auction obsession a few years ago and bought boxes of weird stuff. All the old books he purchased ended up being stacked 4 feet high, 10 feet long, two rows deep. Old musty dusty books. My allergies don't like that room much. Anyway, we never do anything useful with the books. Now they will be boxed back up and put in the barn.
If anyone has use for old - think early 1900-1970 books about religion, philosophy, text/school type books, just let me know. I'll send you some.
Lunch
Laundry
Dinner
Homework, dinner, then V

Hey Ann, if you see any Anatomy or Latin books could you let me know!!! ;)

Dh would love the religion and philosophy ones- one of his teachers regularly calls for textbooks from the 1950's-1970's. If you happen to have any really old math ones I know someone who collects those as well- think 1930's and before.

11-10-2009, 07:27 AM

I will make a list and keep it with me when I start boxing. :thumbsup2

I think I can comfortably afford to send out about 3 boxes with the large box flat rate shipping.

[meaning DH won't flip over a few :wink:]

I'm working today. Going to stop at Mike's and possibly ACM on the way there. Only doing 10-1 or 2. I can only take so much filing at once.

When I get home I need to make my lasagna and do the GS banner for the parade tomorrow. We're not marching (Princess and I), but the other girls need the banner. Better get crackin!

Hope everyone has a good day!

11-10-2009, 08:32 AM

Sheesh - it is only Tuesday and I'm behind on my lists already! Family dentist appts for this morning were cancelled (illness there).

Today:
Kids up and out
Gave DH grocery list for "on your way home tonight" shopping - with coupons!!!
Walk dog
Finish stuff undone from Sunday & Monday lists!!!!
Dinner - homemade calzones
Meds and bed - boy, did I crash early last night!

*Maybe* one of my friends will call this morning and say "Watcha doin'?" and we could go out shopping....the Christmas Tree Shops Friends and Family Sale starts today and I've got a whole sheet of "20% off your entire purchase" coupons. I'm just sayin'... :rotfl:

AYM - DH loves books about magic or magicians. If there are any in your pile, I think he'd be interested. Thanks for offering!!!
Have a great day, everyone!

AlexWyattMommy

11-10-2009, 08:36 AM

I don't remember any magic books. These came from old family farms mostly. I think magic may have been too mystical for out here.

But it's not like I remember every title. :lmao: I will put it on my list. :thumbsup2

AWM- Don't forget about media mail - you can send books for pretty cheap with that.
Depends on how heavy & big they are - you'll have to check, but I think it may be cheaper media-mail.

Today:
Up
Dis
Breakfast
Get ready
Pack up:
-CDs
-Cookies
-Laptop
-Posters
-Suggestion Cards
Head to Lou's
Get driven to Boston
Unpack car, move EVERYTHING in to building
Remember to pick up the Suggestion Box from the SGA office - make sure it's unlocked
Host event for commuter students from 12-2 on our own. :headache:
Classes
Work
Home

On the event:
Pretty much every single person who we asked to help dropped the ball on this - from the people who were supposed to send out the annoucement about the event even occuring - it went out THIS MORNING. Luckily I had someone else take over and send it out last week. Jeez. And these people are administrators, and supposed to be there for us.

Then our live music - Lou never ended up contacting him, because it would have been so much more work setting up, with cables, etc. And we didn't know if he wanted money. So then I had to make a CD.

And then we were supposed to co-sponsor this with the Commuter Student Association, but they just went through a huge upheaval in their club, and the new president seems... underwhelming and overwhelmed. All we asked was that he have a representative there to help get members for his club, but he never got back to me.

Oh, and then Lou thought that 80 small cookies would be fine for desserts. Uhhhmmm - no. So I made him bake brownies.

Ohhhh man. This is not going to be fun.

Rant over. Sorry everyone.... I'm just freaking out about this. Ugh.

Christy - sorry you have the itchies! I'm sure I'll be over there at some point soon...even if I take the bus or have DH drive me (I really hate this not driving thing!!!) - do you want me to grab you one or more of the storage ottomans if they have them? I'd be happy to and you could just get them from me the next time you head to Quincy...we're right on the way!

Pam thanks for the offer and I love to take you up on it but I honestly don't know the nexttime we're headed that way. dad goes back to the dr this pm to talk about the reconnection surgery and If that goes through I or mom may not get down there for months. What i should have done is asked my aunt who cam up yesterday to get one and bring it with her but I'm not that smart:lmao:. I'll be glad when this apt is over and we know what direction we're going in. I'm not ready for him to have it done with all the problems from the 1st go around but he's miserable with it so.......
okay back to getting supper in the crockpot

Where does one get the CTS friends and family coupons?! Please share!

Went to Mike's, found Holly's stamps and some fun stuff on clearance. Got the Hot Cocoa punch, OMG, I LOVE IT!

I'm leaving around 1:00. Need to stop and get milk on the way home, and then make a lasagna for dinner!

I swear the cat isnt going to make it thought the day without being put on TIME OUT!! he ate a chuck of my shoelace, not enough to hurt him but enough where I need new laces.

ann i wish they were old farming books I'd send you a prepaid box or anything other than what you listed dad LOVES and collects old books just not those subjects.

Since these came from farm houses, there very well could be some older farming books. I'll put that on my list too. :thumbsup2

PinballFamily

11-10-2009, 01:55 PM

Let's see:

Christy: The CTS did have the storage ottomans (ottomen? :lmao:) and they were pretty cute. About 18" x 24", with the lid that lifts for storage inside. They had tan, brown, and a couple of dusty green ones. They are $29.99, minus the extra 20% off. I'd be more than happy to pick you up some if you want - I'm sure we'll manage to see each other sometime in the next few months...! Totally up to you!

MM2000: I got an entire sheet of the F&F coupons off of slickdeals. I think there is a PDF file posted there. The sale started today and runs for a week (Tues/Tues) Let me know if you can't find the file - I could photo copy my (kinda tattered and missing one coupon!) sheet and mail it to you today if you want. Also, there are lots of shoppers there and everyone is offering everyone else coupons - I got asked at least three times by very nice women shoppers..."Hon, you have a coupon, right?" I also think there is an active DIS thread on this topic too -

TB: Sorry to miss your call and email - I was on the bus headed for the shopping center, baby! Would have loved to have you stop by - I'd be up for another trip over there because I forgot to buy a gift card and meant to.

P.S. Went to ACM and used my 50% off coupon on myself (woo woo!) for a cute MS gift that I'll put under the tree. (Don't worry TB, it is something you already have! But still I ain't opening that deep punch early - you'll just have to wait until 12/25 along with me!)

11-10-2009, 01:59 PM

Thanks, Pam, I Googled it and found one. I think we're going to trek over to Framingham/Natick on Sunday (Saturday is the baby shower), so I'm glad to have it!

Does anyone have any recipes for steak tips in the crock pot (that they've tried and liked?)? I have steak tips and we don't have any propane! I'd like to make them on Thursday.

Great - glad you found the coupons! They have all sorts of great holiday stuff - my store was packed and there were many groups of women from different offices/businesses buying 30 of this and 50 of that for office parties or decorating or something. Their overloaded carts were truly something to behold! (One frazzled looking chick kept screeching to her cohorts, "We're on the clock now, come on!" as they kept straying away from her to look at other things.) :rolleyes: Don't think you'll have that problem on Sunday!

LOL, that's funny. I'm sure there won't be loads of people running around buying stuff "on the clock" on Sunday. I almost went in this morning, but I was running late, glad I waited for the coupons! That's where I got the 6x12 albums that I love!

Here's a link. CTS (http://dealspl.us/christmastreeshops-coupons).

The hot cocoa one is soooo awesome! And, they had a whole display of Christmas papers...MOG, I'm going to be broke, there is a set of Bazzill "glazed" that has embossed (like heat embossed, not like embossing folders) snowmen and trees and stockings and stuff...OMG, I almost died.

PinballFamily

11-10-2009, 02:52 PM

MM - thanks for posting the link. I just found the PDF in my downloads folder but didn't know how to post the file. Then I noticed you already did it!!!

Y'all have to tell me "STOP shopping for Christmas!" (Except for two more little things for DH from LLBean, a few gift cards for my mom - gonna make her a cute card with pockets for them - but she won't appreciate the card...:headache:), a Target gift card for DS's classroom aide, and a few things for the dog.)

I am really done with the Christmas gift shopping, (even for myself!), all the kids are "even" (whew!) and I need to save the remaining $$$ in the Christmas budget envelope for the tree, card postage, and our holiday baking ingredients and traditional splurgy foods we enjoy at this time of year.

I need my anti-enablers to help me!!! The temptation to keep spending is strong and the ads are and will be so enticing...:santa:, but I know that I really want to be saving for our summer 2010 WDW trip.

Got a call at work today from the school nurse :scared1: DS17 was down AGAIN for throat lozenges. So, she took a peak in there, called the Dr, made an appt for DS and called me to tell me what was going on... I said thank you... :lmao: She did all the work for me :teeth:

So, DS might have strep...but the rapid strep was neg again. If he doesn't get better on this course of drugs, he has to see an ENT doc and maybe have his tonsils out. THAT I'm not happy about at all!!

11-10-2009, 05:25 PM

Oh Deb that will be a bummer at his age. E had his out at 3 and the next day was ready to roll. literally no pain meds just popsicles and icecream for abt a week. I'll send up a prayer it clears up and he can avoid the surgery.

I haven't even started xmas shopping yet I have a feeling it will be VERY last minute for us. still trying to figure out if I can afford to work for the small amount they offered

i'm hoping to finish up our shopping on my bday next week. i am really hoping dh can take the day off so we can do it together. we used to have our annual date night and bubba and mom would have pizza but no more.
i think i really want him to have the day off so i won't be alone on my birthday. not sure i can face the day alone. :sad:

I have your birthday off, if he can't take the day! I'd love to spend it with you! (Thursday, right?)

We're going "lean" this year. I ordered PrincessM's room redo yesterday, I have a few movies for her, a lunch box, and some assorted items too, DH and I will do stockings, and I think one family gift (probably a game of some sort). I'll buy a few things for my mom, cuz she sleeps over on Christmas Eve, and DH will need to buy for his family, but that's it. Of course, I'll probably buy a few things for DH to put in my stocking ;)

i need that glazed snowmen paper for my new cart!;)

Our prices weren't as good as yours, so no need to torment you!

I uh, opened the paper, it's supposed to be 12 sheets. It's a package of 2-sheets of 6 different papers - they didn't open a package, there are 3 sets of 12-sheets!! :eek:

There is a section of "holiday-ish" ones on an endcap. They all have red packaging. I thought the paper looked like there was way too much in there! I feel bad, meh, I'm over it.

Deb~ I hope DS feels better soon.. It would be awful to have his tonsils out at this age.... especially missing school.... but he is a trooper he'd make it thru with no issues!!

DH hit the mother load on t-shirts for my little boys for a dollar today! He called and said he had 15 in his hands did I want them.. He came home and showed me.. 2 of them are generic jerseys but B loves those... the others are sports related for DS13... so for $15.00 I have the boys totally done w/ the exception of a movie for each (hoping to use my $10 coupon at Walmart on Friday for UP, I need to see if I can find a coupon or good price for Ice Age new one).. DD may not get a movie because I found a sale on business casual suits and she wants one... and she needs them w/ her mtgs at school and with 4-H and at leadership conferences.... So I may get that instead of the movie as it is more beneficial to her...

I did find 2- $5.00 mail in rebates in addition to the $10 off coupon for UP, you have to buy some other products, but they are ones we buy normally so in all, I'd pretty much get the movie for about $5.00! LOL

wow Nan you are moving right along! good for you!

Thanks, we are well w/in our budget actually spending a lot less.. DH is into the dollar sales at the stores, he goes out at lunch.. I think it's that our he could throttle a few of his co-workers around this time of year!:grouphug:

I've missed posting the last two days. This week is "clean the apartment" week. I wish it was done, and the keys handed in already.

Yesterday, I did all the mini blinds. Today, I did the kitchen. Tomorrow, I am doing one of the bathrooms. I hate bathrooms.

Today's good news...got the 10% Crate & Barrel coupon you get when you move. Which means I can order my scrap room furniture and dining set!

Y'all have to tell me "STOP shopping for Christmas!" (Except for two more little things for DH from LLBean, a few gift cards for my mom - gonna make her a cute card with pockets for them - but she won't appreciate the card...:headache:), a Target gift card for DS's classroom aide, and a few things for the dog.)

I am really done with the Christmas gift shopping, (even for myself!), all the kids are "even" (whew!) and I need to save the remaining $$$ in the Christmas budget envelope for the tree, card postage, and our holiday baking ingredients and traditional splurgy foods we enjoy at this time of year.

I need my anti-enablers to help me!!! The temptation to keep spending is strong and the ads are and will be so enticing...:santa:, but I know that I really want to be saving for our summer 2010 WDW trip.

Stop shopping for Christmas! (unless it's for me)

In other news, I got my midterm back from my Government class. I'm the only Psychology major in there, everyone else is Government. The spread was 3 As, 7 Bs, and 7 Cs. "Eep!" was my first thought....

But guess who got 2 of the As? Lou and I! He beat me by 2 points, which is sort of hilarious, considering he read every chapter and I didn't read any of them.

On that note, congratulations to PJ, Nan! She sounds like a testament to your skills.

Thanks!!! She was mad about her GPA, I had to laugh because she was just livid... I finally said "do you know how many kids wish they had that GPA!"... I told her that it is hard work and effort that go her where she is and that is something no one else can take from her!!!

Congrats to you and Lou for the A's... Although you not reading and him only beating you by 2 points is hilarious!!!

I'm curious for DH to send my the grades on my DsS's.. while I have access to their grades, I don't get into them and allow him to send them to me... It gives him a moment to brag about the boys...and me the moment to remind him if it wasn't for me... they wouldn't be so smart! :rolleyes1:thumbsup2
