Schamel stuff

A list of happenings around the Schamel household:

1) A few weeks ago I gave husband a haircut and it actually looks decent. I'm now the self appointed hairstylist in the house. Even though husband likes his new hair style, he's not keen on sitting for another 1 1/2hrs as I consult youtube while cautiously snipping away. Will report back next month when he's in need of my newly found skills.

2) Baby boy and I lost the house key a while back and while looking for it baby decided to speed up the search by calling out "key, where are you?". We found the key soon after, hidden in his book case.

3) This passed Tuesday morning I tore up $250. It was in an envelope and having later decided to pay that particular bill in cash, I tore up the envelope thinking it was a cheque (check in American spelling). Wisely I decided not to tell husband about the incident and instead attempted to solve it by my lonesome. All worked out as a talented bank teller meticulously taped the money back together. And I promptly deposited it in fear of using taped up cash.

4) Baby boy said a prayer on his own. Since he's still just 21 months old we can't expect him to do this without his mama's help. It's so cute to hear him say his bedtime prayers and I love how he skips words that he can't yet pronounce. What a sweetie pie.

5) We finally have a printer:) This is great news as it makes couponing that much easier. The printer is worth $180 and after surfing the good'al internet, we got a gently used one for $10. Sweet sweet deal. It was previously owned by an elderly couple who kept it in good condition. Older folks always take better care of their stuff.

Those are the latest happenings in the fort we hold. Onto other news, I've just returned from Safeway with free groceries! If you're in the USA and not couponing it's either you're quite well off and don't need to or that you're not yet exposed to the wonders of this coupon world. Who can resist FREE groceries! Yes, I'll admit it doesn't happen every day but it is possible to save 50% to 70% on every shopping trip. Truth I tell you! I'll write a more detailed post on the matter next week.

Love to you and yours.
