holy!

this is a post

of how the poag's went broke! ;]

*************************************************************

saturday, i tore open my letter from

MYPOINTS

knowing that the $50 promo code for Amazon was inside.

this morning - i added that beautiful Silhouette SD to my cart

applied my $50.00 code

and paid for the rest!

i actually got a little 'bundle' that included:

*1 roll of 9 ins x 10 ft silver silhouette vinyl

*1 roll of 9 ins x 10 ft sillhouette transfer tape

*USCutter ClipArt CD - 48 images

*Software and plug-ins for Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw

i cannot WAIT to play with this 

and 

do all of kullen's birthday things!

[knocking on my wooden desk over here]

************************************************************

a few hours later

i brought up kath's scentsy site.

i threw a mid-sized warmer (ON SALE!)

and six scents in my cart and checked out faster than lightening! 

can't WAIT for my summer-y scents!

***********************************************************************

saturday afternoon

before heading to Port Discovery

my husband surprised me with a little gift! 

i couldn't have been MORE surprised!!

we chatted about getting one

[because the one we have, a samsung, never worked properly]

with kullen getting older and the new baby coming

it was a 'must' for us!

i was so shocked but worried about the price 

and if we could afford it with vacation coming up!

then he mentioned that he'd been taking money from each paycheck and setting it aside

and paid for this in cash so it didn't come from our bank account!

O-M-G.

now you see why

he gets off the hook for not getting me a mother's day gift

i love him!

*****************************************************************

this is enough to make anyone sick:

 WITHDRAWAL @ STARBUCKS CARD RELOAD STARBUCKS CARD  ($20.00)

WITHDRAWAL @ STARBUCKS CARD RELOAD STARBUCKS CARD  ($15.00)

 WITHDRAWAL @ SAFEWAY STORE 11380 PLAZA DRIVE  ($4.63)

 WITHDRAWAL @ STARBUCKS CARD RELOAD STARBUCKS CARD  ($15.00)

my starbuck's purchases/reloads 

within the last 30 days.

for those of you not good with math

that's $54.63.

my husband is going to kill me if he reads this.

and do you know how BADLY i want to walk across the street

and get me a decaf mocha coconut frapp. 

DROOL.

***********************************************************************

THE GROCERY STORE!

i don't have my receipts with me 

so my figures might be slightly off

BUT

over the weekend, i grocery shopped 

at three different stores.

my extreme couponing took over and i had to get the best deals!

target: $24.19 with $14.00 savings in clipped coupons

giant: $74.34 with $62.00 savings in-store and clipped coupons! 

safeway: $61.10 with a $44.00 savings in-store and clipped coupons

so yeah - i dropped $159.00 in groceries 

and body washes, razors, shampoos that we really didn't need

but hey - i had coupons!

and i saved almost as much as i spent! 

GO KALEY!

*****************************************************************

i went to jessi's party on sunday

woah

IN LOVE.

i spent a nice 100$ on six bags

well - 4 bags and 2 mini pouches!

i got a tote in the black and white polka dots

personalized with my name! :) 

and a  matching mini storage tote!

i also got the all-in-one organizer personalized to say

dipes n' wipes for kullen and rhys!

and little mister kullen got his very first lunch box

personalized with hims name! 

i'm also hosting a party in August with the new fall line

CANNOT.WAIT.

*********************************************************************

so, that's the story of how i'm going to have to file bankruptcy!

haha!

that doesn't even include our weekend adventures 

such as:

-purchasing my storage cube at target! ($39.99 + $12.00 in fabric cubes)

-port discovery ($12.95 x 2 entry and $6.00 parking)

- schezuan garden for dinner (around $30.00)

***************

GOSH!

when you really add it up and think about it

that's A LOT of money. 

no wonder i have to work!

and that's not even including the book of stamps that i have to go buy

to mail kullen's birthday invites!

or the ABC letters that i want to go buy at joanne's 

[thanks to a text from my nana saying they were on sale for 99cents!]

i guess it's good to get it all out of the way now

while we still can

there could be big changes comin in the future for us poags!

[fingers crossed mama's]
