This Is Where I Live

This morning has been filled with unusualaties. Just thought I'd share a few, and none of them has to do with this unusual photo I've found on my computer!

* Woke up this morning to neighbors chatting and smoking on their back porch at 6:00am.
* While fixing breakfast at 7:00am, noticed said neighbors drinking beer on said back porch.
* I'm sure today is May 8th, but it is snowing again!
* On the front page of our newspaper this morning, there is a story & photo of Hee-Haw B-Ball.
* There is also an ad for "Motherin Up, A Gathering of Cowboy Poet and Pickers".
* The Police Report included "An elderly man said a stranger was passed out on his couch in his home. Police removed the intoxicated man and gave him a warning and a ride to a hotel.

I'm pretty sure there is nothing normal about any of this. But then, I've heard it said, that NORMAL is just a setting on your dryer.

Cathching Up

Sorry for the lack of blogactivity. I've really been too scattered for blogactivity. Too scattered, and dare I say it, too busy for blogactivity. I do have some nice photos on my camera that I will eventually upload and share. But tonight I'm only trying to figure out tomorrow. Maybe you can help. We are a two car, three driver, three job family. Please keep this in mind, as you take a look at tomorrow's schedule for the Keenas.

Any suggestions?

The Pioneer Woman

Okay, tonight for dinner we had a yummy dessert "Pots de Creme". My sister in law, Kim, yes my sister in law is named Kim, we call her Kim Beverly to differentiate, or Nana differentiates by calling me Big Kim, not sure how I feel about that, I'm sure it refers to the fact that I'm older, not bigger, but, well I am bigger, but really she's just taller, so wouldn't that make her Big Kim? Wait, what was I saying? Oh, the dessert. Kim Beverly showed me the website where she found said decadent dessert, The Pioneer Woman. I will stop my rambling now, and provide the link. Take a look around her site, and enjoy! http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/05/easy-delicious-and-yes-elegant-pots-de-creme/

Out of Town

I'll be out of town for the next 10 days. I will return with lots of wonderful stories. Stay tuned...

That's What I'm Talking About...

In the crazed world of couponing, I am a novice at best. Mostly because our Sunday paper has NO coupons in it. So I have to hunt and peck for coupons. And hunting and pecking I am doing. Coupons aside, let me also mention that since we have moved to Bozeman, I have terribly missed Walgreens. I used to clean up at Walgreens when it came to coupons and coupon stacking. I was told by some that CVS offers similar couponing joys. I have not found that to be true. Until today. It wasn't a big haul. But it was a cheap one. Here's what I did.

*I paid for my prescription in the pharmacy.
*My printed receipt had two coupons on it.

1) $2.00 off one Stayfree product.
2) $2.50 Extra Value Bucks (to be used on most general merchandise)
*So I picked up a pack of Stayfree that were on clearance ($2.09) and a bag of Easter candy that I thought was $2.50. When I checked out, the candy rang up for $2.00.
*Since I wanted to use both receipt coupons immediately, I grabbed a pack of .99 gum for a total of $5.08.
*After deducting my two coupons I paid .58. On THAT receipt was printed another $2.00 Extra Value Bucks coupon. So I walked back to the candy aisle and picked up another bag of $2.00 candy, for free!
So for fifty-eight cents, I walked out of CVS with two bags of Easter candy (the good kind, mini-mars bars), one pack of Stayfree, and a pack of gum. For 58 cents! Now that's what I'm talking about!

A Few of My Favorite Things

(Please sing to the tune of "My Favorite Things")

Forget the raindrops and whiskers on kittens,
My favorite things now were all in this kitchen.
Cute kids, and good friends, and Sinatra songs,
I could have stayed in here all the day longs.

There was an auction for someone named Zack,
Joel bid on pizzas donated by Cusak,
We were invited to join in the fun,
We watched creations from scratch until done.

At the Sayers,
We had dinner,
And good company,
I'll always remember these favorite things
And the cupcakes, too
We chewed!
