These are exciting times.

I can hardly wait to hear which corporate entity will step up next to claim its multi-billion dollar bailout, courtesy of John Q. Taxpayer (aka me).

That’s entertainment. Who needs cable?

I think I will take up learning the Chinese language for my next pet project. I should probably be conversational by the time it becomes the official language. It will be the least we can do in gratitude for China allowing us to borrow money.

Or maybe we could borrow from Iraq. I understand they have a budget surplus currently.

She just gets me

Daddy's Day Off

One of my favorite things...

...is to sit back and watch as Jackson plays. I love to play with him, but I am fascinated by the way he plays independently. He has an intense focus, and he's so close to walking that he has a new set of skills to practice during his play. He spends a lot of time up tall on his knees. It's strange and wonderful for me to see him this way. His little body looks so grown up all stretched out to his full height. I am losing the baby and gaining a little boy. I'm delighted and a little sad all at once.

I Enjoy Just Hanging Around

"I love the act of hanging clothes on a clothesline. I love seeing them there. I love folding them and taking them down. It doesn't really take that long, but the act itself seems to slow down the perception of time, at least for me, making life a little calmer"...

and I couldn't agree more.

19 Cent Bath Tissue at Kroger

These babies are $1.19 on the shelf. My Kroger automatically doubles coupons up to and including 50 cents, so I applied 6 50-cent coupons from a recent Sunday paper insert (we buy 6 newspapers on Sundays), bringing the total per pack down to 19 cents.

That's about 5 cents per roll, people.

Couponing. Look into it.

CVS-ing on Monday

Look at this haul. Not bad for 79 cents. We're planning a yard sale for October 18th. Dude, I am gonna score so much cash for thesegoodies. Check out the receipts, you unbelievers!
