Doing some shopping today

The funny thing is I had coupons all over the place today.  So I got my Mothers gift today of course.  The Hippy was laughing at me becuase of the coupons and codes that I used.  Now normally I am very cheap when it comes to things like that.  I normally shop http://www.hsn.com/ anyway for most of my on line shopping.  It works well for me becuase I can have stuff shipped down to Illinois and not worry about it.  Anyway today is one of them wierd days now.  I have to get alot done and then some today once again.  And I am hopeing that Monday will be somewhat calmer of a day this week at least.  Well At least with everything going on this weekend I must say that it is not so bad after all around here.  Also whith what I did order for the can I can do almost everything with this thing and I will let you know in how it works out for the true test the hollidays.  I will still be useing the Kitchenaid stand mixer of course for alot of it.  Then there is still alot of cooking yet to do for this year that is left.  So I will be trying out a new pie crust for the hollidays this time around.  Now with me cooking from scratch it will be nice to have the extra space for another appliance.  With everything going on for the next couple of days I have to plot and plan for everything once again.  What gets to me is that I have stocked up the can here in and only need that lonely can of cream of mushroom soup.  Otherwise I have everything ready to get started with the prep work for the week of.  After this year I will be going much cheaper around my place.  I have already started with it as of the past couple of weeks.  Today was the coupon codes for part of the shopping that I did.  During the week here I will be cutting back even though that the Hippy will be here untill at least Tuesday night.  It will be somewhat crazy at first and that is ok.  And I did pick up a nickel yesterday while I was out.  The Hippy was laughing about it.  Yes I am still spotting cans and bottles out in yards.  It is a good way to save money also.  Also what I am doing is cutting on the power bill also this up coming year.  This should get good in no time flat around here.  It wont hurt some of us at all others not so sure about here.  At least I do try to get things done around here that are cheap in nature.  Well with looking at the auction block for houses here I have to be even cheaper here.  I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later.  I just figured it would be at least spring time before anything could be done.  I just do not like moveing in the winter time at all.  It won't be the first time of doing this since myself and the Hippy got his sisters stuff out of PA in Febuary.  And several moves at a company that shut the doors also and which winter did we make the move.  Most of the stuff we have here at the can and the storage locker I can move by the van myself.  That is the bad part about haveing all the totes that are here for storage here at the place.  Or it may be a good thing at this point in time.  I know the seats and everything can be brought out of the van also.  I have done it before with the van.  Pack as hard as I can with the van and go with it.  It was really bad with no heat in the van and fully loaded on the 219 here in NY and PA thru the mountains and the forest also.  I diden't slide one bit during the bad parts.  So another plot and plan for that stuff.  Alot of the just plain out junk can just go from my place.  I will admit to it now.  Pluss I will have to check the spare room/pantery to see what can go also and to see if the boxes are empty.  I remember the day that I moved in here to the can.  I coulden't believe that with it being that nasty dirty with a child being here also.  I got so much dirt and grime out that it was not good.  When I switched over to the phantom vac it was even worse.  I diden't have a dog and was still picking up dog hair.  I had the weassel at the time.  Oh well now I know start cleaning before I even bother to move into another place.  And it isen't like I do not have enough cleaners at this point.  This time it is like I have everything and then some unlike when I was restarting almost 15 years ago.  May 28th to be technical.  I still can't still stand where I am and came to grips with it and seeing that I can walk everyplace almost it's got alot better.  The art of dumpster diveing has never failed me yet also.  Dishes and blankets never hurt anyone along with bags.  They all wash up eather way that I look at it.  And since I do have the new washer it won't hurt niether for the bills.  It has been a long day already here.  It will get longer also here shortly.  The nice thing is that today will be the off day and I do have help around here.  Ok folks I have to get on the move and will let you know what was found in the dumster when I get it uncovered.  Have fun and play even harder.
