Enter the Brother Laser Monochrome printer on sale at OfficeDepot for $49.99!!!!

I admit I was a little bummed out when I realized it was only a black and white printer, but after thinking about it, a monochrome printer is even better for coupons. Since it’s only b&w, there’s only one cartridge to replace. I haven’t looked into the prices of  brand new ink, but I did find a site that offers remanufactured toner for about $25.00. From what I understand, most laser printers can print up to 5,000 pages on one cartridge so that $25 will go a LONG way!

I ordered from Office Depot that has free next day shipping, so my laser printer should be here by tomorrow! I really am too excited about this. The next step is to figure out how to get Vernon’s PC to print to it when connected to one of my macs. Wish me luck!

Another great thing about the app, is that it will email you and display a badge when there is a change on any of your accounts. This is really handy because it never hurts to have an extra reminder. Also, if you’re paranoid like me, there’s an option to require a pin number upon opening the application.

Best of all? It’s free!

She seems to be growing out of her late morning nap, so now that she is napping I’m sitting down to blog, shop for kamik rain boots and catch up on some shows online that I’ve missed.

I love being on vacation so much. The house gets cleaned, chores get done, I get to spend my days with Lo and then have a good dinner and relax once Vernon gets home.

This is a huge change from our usual wake up at what feels like dawn, get Lo up and fed, do a load of dishes and laundry, shower, pack Lo’s bag, get my lunch together (if I’m bringing it), get Lo dressed and get out the door. Then I work all day and come home to a house that’s been destroyed by Lo for the past hour. Then dinner and all the house hold stuff and bed time stuff and by the end of the day we are TIRED.

I think maybe someday, we actually will. It may not be one of those fancy Outer Banks homes, but I hope it is a great improvement in size. Maybe when we’re ready to have another baby, which I know we will be in a few years. I go back and forth about it constantly–can I handle the heartache of possibly having another early baby? Will I be able to give a second child enough love and attention when I feel like Lo has every ounce my being is capable of making?

I think in time, I will find the answers and know for sure what would be best for our family. For now I’m just going to keep dreaming of a bigger house

We don’t have anything special planned except for lunch with a coworker since I won’t be working for her last day since she’s quitting. I’m hoping maybe we can visit with Lulu and Crayola, maybe even get in some writing about personalized footballs and a product review I received this week.

The fact that I don’t have to work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday is making it very very easy to be at work today. I don’t feel like killing myself for once!

I DRIVE LIKE A GRANNY!

I ended up not paying the right amount on a ticket that caused my license to get suspended (over $30 damn dollars) so of course I had to fork over even more money to get it in good standing. Ever since I have really followed the speed limit and even more so now that we have Lo. I’m worst about pulling out in traffic though, I am so paranoid about pulling out in front of someone and cutting them off that a lot of the time I’ll set there saying, “Man, I could’ve gone!” or “Booo, I could’ve made that!”

Granny or not, being safe when you drive is so very important.

Im going shopping tomorrow and I’ll definitely dedicate a post to my goods. There are awesome sales at Kroger this week!

Right now we are cooking what I think is going to be an awesome dinner, made mostly with veggies from our garden: squash casserole, grilled chicken with my special glaze, and fried squash and okra!

Gonna be gooood

I learned the annoying way that it makes life easier when I know what’s going on when you have a smart phone. Can you imagine running a home based business before smart phones existed?! I don’t know if I’d even make it out of bed in the morning without having my phone alarm go off

I didn’t get the iPhone 4g for two reasons: 1, I didn’t want to wait the 3 weeks + to actually receive the phone. By the time I decided to go ahead and upgrade, I was ready to have my new phone NOW so I went for the 3gs. I would’ve considered waiting if I wasn’t hearing about how many issues the 4G was having. PLUS the 3gs was $100 cheaper and really made the decision to upgrade much easier.

I couldn’t be happier!

Anyway, every morning a few minutes before we set out I start the car and load up our bags so the car is nice and cooled down by the time I get Lo settled. One particular morning when I was getting the car started I noticed all of my stuff was strewn everywhere. The back seat was folded down, the glove box was open and it was definitely not something Vernon would’ve done.

I called him 800 times trying to get a hold of him because I was positive he most likely didn’t even notice that his car had been gone through. Turns out they stole his Garmin GPS that I got him for Christmas Now it has us sooo paranoid, even considering having wireless cctv cameras installed on our home. Was it a random person? Was it someone we know?

IS SOMEONE WATCHING US??

I just don’t really know. Right now is the time where we’re trying to minimize all of our bills for our household, so it gets a bit frustrating to think we could be missing out on a good deal. Recently we cut off the digital cable to settle for basic cable and a Netflix account. This reminds me that I need to take back our cable boxes!

Must get that done THIS week. Would be nice if I wasn’t running late for a change. I don’t know what’s up with me but lately I haven’t been able to get out bed early. It doesn’t help that Lo has suddenly been waking up at random hours of the night. Last night was 3am, nights before it was 1. When it happens I think OH MY GOD!!! SO TIRED!! I have no idea how I managed to go every single night without a solid night’s sleep when she was tiny. It really blows my mind.
