It’s been pretty quiet holiday weekend. Since school is out, I have no homework or assignments to do. It feels weird…. I watched a couple of movies that were on TV and my friend gave me a DVD to watch. The title of the movie is “27 dresses” and it was a very cute story.
This morning, I went to Safeway for grocery shopping. I paid $60 after club card savings ($54) and coupons savings ($15.30). I also received two free movie tickets and 20 cents fuel discount. Gas is over $4 around here, so it helps to get 20 cents fuel discount. I found an error in the receipt, though. Onion is supposed to bet 59 cents per lb, or something, but the receipt says $1.69 per lb. I need to go back and have it corrected I’m so used to going to the customer service counter and ask for a correction because this kind of error happens all the time.
By the way, my DD starts working tomorrow. She got a job at after school program operated by the city. We used to send her there when she was in elementary school. We used to pay them to have her. Now, she is getting paid to be there. She will be making $8 an hour. (Yes, it’s the minimum wage!) It’s time for her to learn money management skill.
Quiet day

Of course, our Bel Air gives 25 cents off. They have been kind of at a price war, which surprises me even more to learn other Safeways offer more rewards. Since Safeway is losing the price was miserably with the newer quarter off gas. But I just voiced my confusion to dh and he said he was aware other locations had better gas incentives.
Just interesting... We are not worthy? LOL.

The premise of Wife Swap is that one parent from each household swaps places for a week to experience how another family lives. It is an incredible family experience and opportunity to both learn and teach different family values.
Wife Swap is a fascinating story of what happens when two couples see themselves and their partners in a whole new light. The New York Post says, "It should be called 'Life Swap' because it's not just the wives who learn something here. It's the families."
Potential families can live anywhere in the United States, but we ask that families applying for the show consist of two parents and have at least one child, age 7 or older, living at home. Specifically, I'm looking for families who know how to save a buck by clipping coupons! If you're serious about your coupon regime, I want to hear from you! To submit for the show please email a family photo and description to: gaby.wifeswap@gmail.com.
Families featured on the show will receive a $20,000 honorarium. If you refer a family that is selected you receive $1,000.
If you are a family unit (two parents and children between the ages of 7 and 17) who love an adventure, I would love to hear from you today! Also, please feel free to send this casting along to any families you feel would be appropriate!

I just wanted to pop by and say I miss your posts. Hope all is well.

Thank you Monkeymama for your comment. It's been just busy, and I was not in the mood to do anything.
By the way, how do you like smoke in the air? I hope this will clear up soon.

Ugh. We just got back yesterday, and it looks like we didn't miss much. We did not see so much smoke up in Yosemite (a little in the peaks, but nothing like this).
Of course I was reminiscing when we went to a wedding in LA and it was raining ash from wild fired there. So yeah, could be worse...
