The Bachelor November 5, 2007

November 6, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

So I didn’t stay up last night to watch The Bachelor.  First in awhile.  Since it was only 45 minutes with commercials, I was able to watch it pretty quickly this evening from my TIVO. 

So…Jenni’s date was first and the dolphins were really cute.  Seemed like they had a good time.  And once again, the physical sparks between Jenni and Brad were pretty obvious.  Even the frisking to find the hotel card was further proof there is definitely something between them.  But their conversation was sort of weird.  I don’t understand her inability to say how she felt toward him. 

Bettina’s date was next and boy was it short.  They showed all of two minutes on the sailboat.  All I remember is seeing them in their swimsuits on the boat and then in the pool at the hotel.  I already knew that Bettina was leaving when I watched this and I’m not sure if it skewed my opinion but to me it was obvious he wasn’t picking her.  And she tried to make up the whole family thing by saying they were just worried he didn’t return her feelings.

The third date was with DeAnna and I was surprised at her continuous witty comments and while I found it a little on the annoying side, he seemed to like her being feisty.  And he was very impressed with her feelings she shared at dinner.  In fact, with a lot of his comments he seemed really, really into her that night.  “I am developing some very strong and extremely real feelings for DeAnna.  Very strong…She’s everything I’ve looked for in a woman…I look at her as a soul mate…I can see a lifetime with DeAnna.” And she seemed really sincere as well.  I still can not get over how she treated the other girls in the house and was even reminded of all the cattiness when they showed previews for the reunion show next week. 

But y’all, I think we’re in for a shocking episode next week.  I’ve said Jenni has been the frontrunner but I think DeAnna is going to pull this one off.  Jenni and Brad seem to be all physical and he knows she’s accepted the dancing contract with the Suns so that’s a negative too.  I think it will be like last season with Andy where he picked the soulmate Tessa over the physical connection with Bevin even though Bevin had been a frontrunner for most of the season.  They keep saying it’s going to be shocking so who knows.

Back to the office tomorrow

November 5, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

For the third time in about a week, I’m going into the office to work tomorrow.  No access to this site while I’m there :(.

The rest of tonight will be spent watching tv.  I may get in a post about The Bachelor before I zonk out.  I doubt it though.  I’m really tired tonight.

News on the work front

November 5, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

So good news and bad news. 

The bad news is my client can not meet the demands of my contractor to increase my pay rate enough to let me have some and actually get that raise they want to give me.  It’s really ridiculous.  So, I might be on the hunt for a new contracting company.  I hope it works out because depending on how stubborn my contracting company wants to get, it could get really nasty.

As for the good news, I’ve been informed I have to decide by tomorrow what vacation I’m taking for the rest of the year and I have 63 hours to take.  In my world, that’s 10.5 days.  So I’m going to take next Monday off since my client company has it off even though my contracting company doesn’t.  Then I’m taking off December 20-January 1.  That means after this week I have two short weeks this month and then only have to work 2.5 weeks until 2008.  Yay!

This is just getting ridiculous

So apparently Lexi has a "boyfriend".  His name is Will.  Pronounced by Lexi as Whee-heel.  I don’t know how it started but if you ask her who her boyfriend is, she’ll say Whee-heel.  So I sent invitations to school today for the big Chuck E. Cheese party this weekend and Will’s mom called to RSVP.  That was sort of a weird conversation in itself because I told her my daughter calls your son her boyfriend.  And she ensures me he’s a sweet boy and loves girls because he has a 6 year old sister.  That’s a plus I guess.

So I go outside to tell Lexi Will was coming to her party. She seems semi excited but Emma is really excited.  "Lexi, Will’s coming to Chuck E. Cheese’s to our party!!"  So I go to walk back inside and Emma runs up to me and says, "Stop!  I want to see Lexi and Will kiss at the party!" 

What?!?!  "There will be no kissing at this party!"  Is it just my preschooler that is obsessed with boyfriends, kissing and getting married??  Sheesh.  They’re not old enough for this yet!

Bad Hair Day

November 5, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

This morning while I was in the shower the girls came in and Lexi was crying about something.  I guess I got distracted because when I was combing out my hair today I realized I didn’t wash out my conditioner.  I was too lazy to rewash my hair and thought, Oh, it’ll be like one of those leave-in conditioner and my hair will be nice and soft today.  Nah, it’s weighted down and sort of greasy more than soft.  Nice.

O boy

So the girls and I are on the way home tonight from church.  I usually try to give them a run down of what we’re doing when we get home especially if it’s near bed time.  I was telling them they could play for just a few minutes and then we’d have to get ready for bed.  Since the time changed, I’m going to try to set their bedtime at 8 now instead of 9.  Emma asks about chocolate milk.  I say that’s fine.  She asks if she can play her computer games.  I say for a little while.

Emma: Why do you say no a lot? 

Me: I just told you you could play your games.

Emma: You say no a lot. 

Me: Yes, I do say no sometimes.

Emma: You need to say yes all the time.  I want to do what I want to do.

Me (just to humor her): Well, if I said you could what you wanted to do, what would you do?

Emma: Everything I wanted to.

Me: Well, what is everything you want to do?

Emma: Everything I want to do. (Yes, I know this is painful)

Me: Well, what IS everything you want to do?

Emma: OK.  I would go home, get my chocolate milk, play my games for a little bit and then go to bed.

Me: Great, because that’s what I just said we’re going to do.

At least her "everything she wants to do" is still the same as what I want her to do.  This conversation does not bode well for the teenage years though.

CVS/Walgreens Deals November 4, 2007

November 4, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Alrighty, folks, this is what I got at CVS:

Dawn Dish Liquid
Sugar-free Tums
2 Nature’s Bounty Fish Oil
2 Planter’s Cashews
6 Fruit2o water bottles
Goody’s 4 pack
Degree Clinical Deodorant

Regular price $53.96
Sales/Coupons $33.19
Used $20 ECB

Out of pocket .77!!  Man, that felt good!

Earned $8.50 ECB

I still have about $11 in ECBs that I haven’t spent from last week.  It was actually hard to make my total over $20 to use that one ECB.  I could have bought other stuff for Christmas presents and such but didn’t.  I may make another trip this week.  I haven’t even touched November’s ECB deals.

Walgreens was not nearly as good.  But I saved over 50% so I’ll post it anyway:

Cascade
3 boxes of Splenda
Dawn Simple Additions (?) Dish Liquid
Vick’s DayQuil
Vick’s 44 Cough Syrup
Vick’s Vapor Rub
2 Wrigley’s DoubleMint gum
OldSpice RedZone Men’s Deodorant

Regular Price $43.09 –not sure on this as it’s not a very detailed receipt
Sales/Coupons $25.62
Used $4 Register Rewards

Out of pocket $21.65

Earned $6 Register Rewards

So not nearly as good but I got pretty good prices on the the stuff I got and I’m very stocked up on Splenda and cold medicine for the winter now. 

I just think it’s funny now I’m disappointed I didn’t save over 90% in what I bought.  What a concept…77 cents is ridiculous for what I got from CVS.  I told Heather it’s like shopping with Monopoly money every week!
