I'm a National Consumer Panelist, for real! :)

Again, off track. :( Yesterday was a treatment day for me and that's an entire day that I don't get ANYTHING done. I spend the morning just trying to do something productive, the afternoon at the clinic, and the evening laying in bed wishing it was the next day.

On a good note, my lovely friend, Teal came over to visit yesterday morning to swap coupons with me. It's such a blessing to have such great friends. I met Teal about six months ago or so but it's been in the last few months that we've gotten to spend more time together and I just really think she's a great person and friend. I'm so fortunate to have the great friends I have here in Frederick. I have met several of my new friends through my friend Marissa. I'm so thankful for 'Rissa and her social butterfly-ness that has introduced me to some *wonderful* girls.

Today I managed to go to the library to return books and get some new ones. Adi went with and was allowed to pick out some new ones. He got two chapter books, another one I convinced him to get, and then FOUR books about Abe Lincoln. He's a teensy bit obsessed. :) We then stopped over a super cute clothing store downtown and there.....I applied for a job. Totally weird. I haven't worked in FOREVER, but I love the store and she mentioned on facebook that she was looking for someone to make jewelry. It's a long shot, but I gave it a shot. I'm pretty sure I'll be telling you a week from now that it didn't work out for me, but I didn't want to ignore the opportunity to see if this could actually happen.

Then ran to Giant Eagle. Not a huge savings day today, but I scored some super great bargains and saved 50% of my bill. I'm not sure how much higher, if any, food costs are here in Frederick, compared to the national average. But according to the chart I found (about 18 months outdated) we are between the "thrifty" and "low-cost" spending for our family of five each month in groceries. Just food alone, I know we're thrifty, but I included HBA goods, also. Happy to save us some money, that's for sure.

And tonight for the first time, I used my NCP scanner to scan my purchases. :) Adisson really wanted to scan more of the food, but I told him I needed to figure it out first. I'm sure I'll tire of it soon enough and he'll be the designated scanner. :)

Anyway, I guess that's enough of my weird rambling thoughts for now. I'm glad it's just a few people that I know and love that read this jumbled mess of nonsense. :)
