I didn’t coupon yet this week. I might head out after work some night and pick up some of the freebies, but I’m not doing all-out couponing. Just didn’t feel like it this week. Sure, i got the paper and my coupons and clip, clip, clipped, but when it came down to the spreadsheeting, collating and hitting the stores I just didn’t have it in me.

Instead, I watched the five episodes of Grey’s Anatomy (and it would have been more if I didn’t have to wait for the next one to arrive from Netflix), did laundry, cleaned my room a bit, worked on a friend’s site and did some crosswords.

Jimbo worked on the shed most of the weekend. We did go out for coffee and then saw the Invention of Laughter and while it was good, I wouldn’t say it was great.

Saturday night we headed to my cousin’s house for a family poker game and did pretty well for someone who doesn’t know if 3-of-a-kind beats two pair.

It’s funny, since I’ve been couponing I haven’t’ done a lot of regular shopping. I think that’s good for my wallet. But it’s October and now’s the time to start shopping for that joyful holiday that is about 12 weeks away. And to work on my 2009 holiday wish list.

It was a really nice weekend.

Friday night, I got lost in my local Michael's store for nearly two hours and then I headed over to Janet's for Pirates of the Caribbean and the nummiest stir-fry ever! Thanks J!

Saturday I spent most of the day working on the invitations. Photoshop. Print. Cut. Repeat. Then Jimbo and I headed to Mom's for a Chili cook-off. What a great time! My uncle and aunt on my Dad's side were there. I hadn't seen them in forever, so it was really nice to catch up with them.

Unfortunately another one of my uncles made the margaritas and let me tell you, it was mostly tequila. You can probably guess what happened next. Me. Drunk. But a happy kind of drunk. Love all around. My mom, my aunts and I told each other we were beautiful and hugged and loved. So nice.

And I tried on my wedding dress for my aunts and again, another love fest. I almost tripped and fell. I hope my dress is ok! haaaaa!

So needless to say there was much hangover to be had Sunday morning, but it wasn't too bad. My sister came over and helped out with the cutting of the invitations and the watching of the football. I'm taking a break from catching up on work right now, but I best get back to it.
