I know that a lot of my friends aren't big fans...

I know that a lot of my friends aren't big fans of Wal-Mart for various reasons, but I'm too poor to have a choice.  It's walking-distance from my house and I can afford it so I shop there A LOT.  Like, for almost everything I need.

So they are doing this thing now called Savings Catcher (where they compare prices to other stores in the area and give you the difference back if they find a lower price), so I signed up because why not?  Any little bit of money I save helps.

I also have a BlueBird card that I use for pretty much everything.  I load my entire paycheck on there every week and I use it to pay all of my bills.  I prefer it to using a bank - because no fees.  It's not even possible to overdraft on it.  I prefer to have my card declined to being slammed with a $35 fee when I'm obviously already broke as shit.

So, if you sign up for Savings Catcher and have the money you get back from that sent to your BlueBird account you get DOUBLE the amount back until February.  So the Savings Catcher has found $7-ish dollars in the last week for me and since I've had it sent to my BlueBird card I've gotten $15.  That is not nothing and all I've had to do is scan my receipts in.

Just thought I'd share that for any of my broke ass friends who might be interested.  🙂

Picked up my Epi pens today.

Picked up my Epi pens today. Kind of wonder if they are necessary. I've been eating chocolate for two days, and haven't kicked out my dogs, or cut down my trees. I guess it won't hurt to have them, just in case.

So quiet and calm out, and then...

So quiet and calm out, and then suddenly lightning hit so close that it set off Shaun's car alarm.

Decided to go to Wal-Mart, but they don't have power, either. I've never seen it so dark over there. Now we're at Los Arcos. LOL

Power is out.

Power is out. It's not storming - barely even sprinkling, yet Nappy is freaking out. Can't help but wonder if she's scared of the unexpected dark. Big old weenie.

OMG, cats are NOT my favorite.

OMG, cats are NOT my favorite.  Especially not today!

So I was making my rounds this morning - same as I do every day.  Most of you are well aware that I have 20-something non-human kids, so I like it when things go smoothly.  Today, things are not going that smoothly.

Right now I have a lizard-shit covered cat stuck in a plastic bag hiding behind my couch.

Not only is the cat covered in lizard shit and stuck in a bag AND hiding behind the couch, BUT she made about a hundred laps around the living room at lightening speed with the bag stuck to her, therefore flinging lizard shit all over the place, too.

Thanks a lot, Addsie (ADDC = A Dumb Drooling Cat, as named by Shadow).  You really are dumb as hell.  Maybe next time leave my trash bag alone when I step out of the room for 2 seconds to let the dog out.  K, thanks.

She just came out of hiding so I could free her of the lizard shit trash bag. Looking all afraid of me - like I did that to her! Jeez. Of course I get blamed. LOL

It's ok - I'm laughing, too. You can't have a house full like I do and be mad when something goofy like that happens.

Everything is all cleaned up now and the cat is sitting there giving me the stink eye. All is right with the world. LOL

I have had a pretty good weekend. 😃

I have had a pretty good weekend.  😃

I am FINALLY (after the summer of depression and working not so much) caught up on my bills.  Not a lot of money left over for gifts, but I did manage to buy both Shaun and Shadow something small, so I'm done.  The gifts probably won't arrive before Christmas, but no one cares.  I love that we just do things our way.  ❤

I have spent most of the weekend cleaning, napping, and playing Mario with my guys.  LOL  It's been AWESOME and relaxing - which is just what I think I needed.  😃

I'm working tomorrow and Tuesday, so anyone who wanted to hang out I can't those days.  But any day after that, I'm probably free.  The only plans I for sure have is that I'd like to go to the new Ulta in Gadsden (preferably before my coupons expire!) so I can check it out.

I'm off to wash a dog and clean the dog room, then hopefully Shaun will come back and we can finish that world we unlocked that kept kicking our asses.  LOL  Since I slept late today and still napped, I'm pretty wide awake right now.  😃

I just ripped my closet door down.

I just ripped my closet door down. On accident. Because I'm a She-Hulk, I guess.
