1st of all....if you need to replace a printer cartridge you MUST visit this website. It is amazing!! Instead of paying $50 in a store for replacement printer ink cartridge I spent a total of $14.95 & it was delivered to my door!

Next Money Saving Tip:
Bed Bath & Beyond go shopping with a friend.... 1st one of you go up to register & buy cheap $1 hand sanitizer or whatever. They will give you a store coupon worth saving $10 off your purchase of $30 or more. Then you hand the coupon to your girlfriend to use as she purchases the rest of your combined items utilizing the discount. Also, this time of the year they offer complimentary gift wrapping. You may request gift wrap & ribbon for each item you purchase. They will just give it to you - use to wrap a variety of gifts. Free!
Craft Warehouse:
Often times this store has a newspaper ad that contains a coupon for 40% off 1 regularly priced item. 1 coupon per person per day. But they do allow you to use a 2nd coupon, for ex. $5 off a purchase of 19.99 or more. If you go with a couple friends you can get a couple items 40% off. They have a huge stack of their newspaper ads in the the store.
Toilet Paper:
Which is bigger - the double roll, the big roll, the bigger roll, etc.,? Avoid scams & marketing ploys....just read the packaging (ensure 2 ply) then look for total feet contained in the package. Sometimes for example a 9 pack of toilet paper of 500 feet of paper is way less expensive than a 12 pack of 320 feet of paper. The key is the feet!

Basketball Is Over...
Basketball is over for one child (Darla)...getting ready to start for another (Elijah-after Christmas vacation). Darla had an awesome season this year! Lead scorer in most games & earned the nickname bulldog after being pushed down during one of the 1st games - she definitely stepped up her agressiveness. Coach Suzy awarded her as Most Aggressive at the award ceremony. She was known to drive down the court with a bull dog expression & when on defense was known to just grab the ball away from the other team - causing a jump ball. Great time had by all! Alan got to Assistant Coach as much as his work schedule would allow. For a photo album of memorable moments see here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=78940&id=1639255198&l=0281355be2

Darla's Dream Came True
My girls ears are pierced!
Her papa lowered the age requirement (thanks to much pleading from Darla & I) from 12yrs old to 10! Darla turned 10 in November but had to wait until after her last basketball game to get them pierced! Yesterday was the big day!! Darla, her best friend Tierra & her mama Debbie & I headed down to Gresham to Claire's & got them pierced. Her best friend actually got a 2nd piercing. Fun fun time! Darla is over the mooon happy! She is super excited that after the completing the required 6-8 wks of keeping the studs in she gets to wear "real" ear rings in time for the annual Daddy Daughter Dance in February.
Here is an online photo album of the special moment:
