I love this girl's style

Yes, I was the creepy girl on the bus the other day taking pictures of some stranger. But, oh my goodness, this girl had great style. Her boots socks had little charms on the back and the chambray dress was beyond cute. So, yes, I snapped a picture and yes, that's creepy! But I wanted to copy her style!

We're not grocery shopping until December!

Today I cooked all day--literally. My goal is Mike and I won't have to go grocery shopping for anything but milk and produce until December. After visiting four stores yesterday and a lot of couponing and planning (about 4 hours), we now have over 50 meals in our freezer!

From my last freezer meal cooking:

• 3 peanut stir frys
• 3 chicken enchiladas
• 1 buttermilk chicken

And then today:

• 4 lasagna soups for two
• 4 apple squash soups for two
• 4 french onion soups for two
• 6! butternut squash lasagnas (and we just had one and it seems to make 2 meals per pan! That's 12 meals!) (also, this is amazing!)
• 4 lettuce wrap fillings (PF Changs knock off)
• 6 frozen pizza doughs
• 4 pizza casseroles
• 4 white cheddar chicken casseroles

Plus! We have:

• 6 pizzas (from costco)
• 2 bags of potstickers
• 10 lbs of chicken

Combine that with the ridiculous deals I got on uncle bens side dish rice and cereal (hot and cold), we can pretty much survive a zombie apocalypse.

Oh and I got 24 yoplait yogurts with 4 coupons that were save .40 on 6, those coupons double (but I think it didn't, now that I think about it) and then I got $1.25 off my next transaction with the purchase of 12. So I bought my yogurts first and then used those catalina coupons ($2.50) off the rest of my groceries! I'm going to figure out how to be an extreme couponer for our December shopping trip.

Basically: couponing + once-a-month cooking = win! 

What a Friday

The day started out as just another beautiful day in Denver. 70s, sunny, nice breeze:

Then the rash on my neck started to itch, get more red and hot. Then my throat felt like it was going to close up and I couldn't breathe. So I got a nice little ride in the ambulance. (my paramedics were awesome)

After several hours and lost of drugs at the ER, the rash is going away and I was able to eat the chik fil a Mike got me for lunch. Breathing is back to normal and I slept all afternoon. I'm
lucky to have a few great nurses including Lucy:

The Clover!

Look what the Starbucks by my office got! You can only get their fancy coffees and it is ridic expensive ... But I'm still going to try it next time.

Everyone should have pink shoes

I still love SNL

I love SNL. No matter who or what they make fun of, they are right on the mark. When I ask someone at work "did you see SNL this weekend?" I often get "you still watch SNL?!?" Yes, SNL is an American institution. I watch it religiously. I dvr it and watch it Sunday morning.

Alec Baldwin is one of the best hosts and two weeks ago was no exception. The opening skit was one of the best EVER! It doesn't matter your political views, this is just hilarious.

Pom Pom Snap Scarf (Sneak Peek)

Here's a sneak peek (and obvious self portraits) of a new scarf I designed. It has four snaps and can be worn in a multitude of ways! I'll post more pics when I have a photographer (ie Mike) It has blue pom poms all around the edge and I'm wearing it wrapped three times.
