Overall, this week has been a very NOT thrifty week for me. I went to urgent care for extreme pain on Saturday, and long story short, they forced me to take an ambulance to the ER because my blood pressure was supposedly too low for Tony to drive me there myself.

Some random odds and ends from the last week. Won 200 AAdvantage miles for Tony and 200 miles for me in the fortune cookie instant win game. Just click the “Don’t have a code” link to enter. After trying a billion times in the middle of the day, I tried one night late at night, [...]

Tony and I picked up Scrabble for some weeknight entertainment (we’re limited on 2-player games), so I sent in a rebate for a free Tombstone pizza w/ purchase of Hasbro game. Now I just need to persuade Tony to play it I added 70 more points to my Recyclebank account today. (There’s a new 25pt Learn & Earn opportunity, as [...]

Look at the cute baby lizard I found in my house! He was trying his hardest to blend into the carpet. I’ve seen a lot of lizards in the house, but this is the first time in my entire life that I’ve ever seen one non-slobbery and with tail fully intact! (Those of you with [...]
