1. I still haven't conquered the beast that is couponing, but I did actually have some of the coupons I intended to use with me at Wal-Mart on double coupon day, but since all but one were for $1 off and they don't double dollar coupons that meant I really only benefited by saving an extra .45 cents on string cheese. But the joke is on me because I saved $7 total with my coupons and still spent $99 and left there feeling like I wasn't sure what happened to me.
While walking down one of the aisles at the store this darling little girl (maybe 3 years old) was on the phone with someone and said, "Oh just couponing with mom." It was so cute and oh so funny. My 3 year olds never learned the word couponing.
2. Landon is going to be a rock star for Halloween so we really needed to find him some shades with attitude...mission accomplished.
3. We are still enjoying this mess each day as we come and go from home...yes, it's a pleasure.
While sitting in the construction waiting for our turn to go we saw this Pac-Man Pumpkin decoration in somebody's yard, it made us chuckle.
4. Our ward had a Fall Festival this year (we've never had one before) and these are some of the amazing pumpkins submitted for a contest. I was so impressed! I have no vision or patience for pumpkin carving, so whenever "we" do it that means Randy does it and I breathe out of my mouth for an hour. We don't have anything festive in our house at all this year!
5. I had to leave early the other day so Randy wasn't up yet to make my lunch so I ended up buying school lunch for the first time this year. I had to sneak a bite here and there in-between the busyness of the front office and I never got to eat the roll or apple slices that came with it.
6. I had an appointment with the dermatologist this morning to have him check out a suspicious white patch on my cheek. He ended up numbing that part of my face (which affected my eye too) to biopsy (an alarming word) it. I couldn't feel the pain of that but I could hear the scraping...not pleasant. I couldn't believe how weird my face felt afterward (and still does) or how shaky I was. It wasn't as horrible as it appears to be in this picture but was a little scary all the same. It's kind of messing with my Saturday a bit because I don't want to go out in public like this (apparently I'm fine to post it though...go figure).
I found myself flipping through the Botox info pamphlet while waiting for my appointment. I've never been particularly vain, but this fissure on my forehead really bums me out. I heard a woman (maybe 27) at the hair dresser last month talking about how she got it done on her forehead and can't believe how much better it is. We don't really have a Botox budget, but maybe we should start one.
**How was your week?
Have you decorated for Fall/Halloween?
Ever had a skin biopsy?
Do you use coupons?
Botox?**
Comment Window Tidbit: I've been planning on the costume party all week and even got a doable idea but my face is a mess and I don't feel great, so we may not go. Lame.

That hamburger pumpkin is amazing and I love the Pac-man one in the yard too. This year I was too cheap for pumpkins Luci and Griffin are wearing costumes we already had on hand and I found Eliot's at a consignment shop.
My week flew by because I am working extra to write a grant due November 22. I'm aiming to submit it early so that it will be over before Thanksgiving week.
My week has been utterly crazy busy. Apparently I have filled up my extra time very well, because I don't seem to have any!
We haven't done any decorating here for Halloween because I just can't add anything to the chaos that is my house.
I haven't had a skin biopsy, but it doesn't sound pleasant.
My coupon experiences are similar to yours. I have good intentions, get excited for a little bit, then wonder why I am going to all the trouble for a little bit of savings?
We don't have a Botox budget, either, but I would not be above it if we had the money.
My week was hell.
I did decorate for halloween only because we had a party here, I felt like I had to.
I haven't had my skin biopsied but I did have a lump once that had to get it.
I am all caught up on cutting my coupons, I need to stop throwing up so I can go out and use them.
I think I could do it.
Uggg....I hate road work and traffic. That has to be so annoying to deal with every single day!!
A 27 year old doing botox. That just makes my skin crawl.
couponing is hard work.
we haven't carved a pumpkin and carly asked tonight if we could get one tomorrow and carve it. I feel like a loser mom. pumpkin carving is Kenny's job!
i found a fissure a little while ago and was freaking out. ethan assured me it had been there for while....what the?!?! so i'm with you on the botox budget. don't have one, but wouldn't mind one!!
your 6 for saturdays are always so great.
