Ever feel this way?

I do!

Alternatives

This is part of my daily commute.  Coming home I make a right turn onto this road and pass a long line of cars and trucks going the other direction, all in line to turn left onto the street I just traveled.  In the morning, I avoid doing what these cars and trucks are doing by finding a different route.  Why don't they?

Yikes!  Wouldn't you?

Reveling in it

One of the best parts of buying a house is being able to personalize things.

In the bathroom -

So much fun!  Might have to distress those shelves though.  So what do you makes yours at your house?
.

Do you like to save money?

Do you shop online?  I'm not asking if you shop online as much as I shop online, that would be just silly.  Not many people shop online as much as I do.  Heh.  But when you shop online, do you shop around and try to find the best deals?  

Looking for another purse tonight, there's just something about the right red bag .. ahem .. I found one I liked, took the manufacturer and name of the bag and searched.  A Google search will do, and I usually also do a search at The Find.  It's basically a shopping search site where you can search multiple stores for a single item and see the prices as well.  Very handy.  But I digress from my point.  After finding where the best price was for the bag I wanted, I went to a coupon site by doing a Google search for promo codes.  In this case all I typed was "ebags coupon codes".  There are many coupon sites, some codes work and some don't but it never hurts to type a promo code into a shopping cart, I have been known to try several until I find one that works.  Tonight, ebags had a sale with 20% off many bags.  I pulled a coupon code from Coupon Cabin and punched that in while checking out at ebags.  It gave me a choice - did I want to save 20% with the current sale, or 30% with the coupon code?  Well I'm no dummy, you know what I picked!  But y'know what?  Some stores will allow you more than one coupon code.  So you might find one for 15% off and another for free shipping.  Or better!  

So if you shop online like I do - try not to miss these deals!  It only costs you a little time and it is so worth it.

In my next life ..

..I mean really, wouldn't it be great to be able to stretch out and nap wherever you wanted to - regardless of anything going on around you?  Nice.  This crabby old man cat increasingly just wants to be with me, on me, near me.  I think he's getting close to the end of his road, he's tired.  He sleeps on my bed most nights, and many times during the day as well.  His life seems to revolve around me now.  That's okay, he could be in pain or uncomfortable or unable to eat or something, but he's not.  So I'll let him sleep on my bed or my foot or wherever if it makes him happy.

On the other hand, he could be putting on a good act just to get more attention.  He's not above that kind of subterfuge.
