{smoking is bad for you}

but, laughing. that's very, very good. every time molly gets her chew treat - she smokes and smokes and smokes it.

{my bible study}

has been amazing so far! i sit here almost tearful and what getting back on track can do. i know i will always have busy times - just like everyone. but, if i can just manage them better and keep my eyes where they need to be.....wow, so much easier.

it's almost funny even in chaos, things can seem more calm than they were.

i am re-energized on the things i need to be and it is absolutely refreshing! i must say, this is not the route i thought i would end up taking after literally praying for what seems like forever. but, i guess the timing, doors to be opened, some to be closed and just a new energy would be waiting for me...now. not then and not for the future, but for now. perfect timing.

am, almost overcome with happiness and gratitude!

{my sweet girlfriends}

are having lunch today with a little shopping thrown in for good measure. although i so wish i could go....my workload just will not allow it. and, even if i had tried to squeeze it in - i would have been so stressed about what i had waiting for me.

but, the best part was the sweet texts i had this morning wanting to know if i could go and then reassuring me - our lunch dates would come around again.

have fun girls!

and, ps....HG you are in so much trouble. we discovered the desserts, well, all the yummy food at gregorys. seriously, i should have stayed very unaware. you were so right. i think it will be our new standard after bb practice on tuesday nights! the waistline does not thank you. ;)

{update}

savings added today: $60.50 and $17 of that was because i did a 5 second google search to see if the company offered any free shipping rebates as the website did not offer one. bingo! $17 off :)

counting my RR, I am up to $117 for the week.

{savings report for last week}

a total of $387 saved and as mentioned before - some of that did not even take into account sale prices. and, i'm sticking to my plan to deposit the savings.

this week should be much lower as i am stocked on the big things i was out of...but so far, i have saved $24.50 in coupon savings and on top of that earned $25 in RR. And, we are stocked on chips and sodas galore!
