Emma talks to the picture
So I had just given Emma a bath and was changing her on my bed, and she kept looking to the side and smiling and talking, it was starting to freak me out, since I couldn't figure out what or who was catching her eye... and then I figured it out:
Mommy and Daddy, really big, smiling at her! This picture is sitting on a corner in our room, it needs to be framed still... but she seriously sat there for about 10-15 minutes laughing and having the greatest conversation with them!
I think it's because these guys in the picture were such good listeners and never interrupt her! They just sat there and smiled at everything she did!
Oh Emma, you're so cute!

Saving money is so fun!
Some of you may know of my obsession with coupon clipping and finding the best deals out there. Well I was pretty excited this week with my savings, and I thought I'd share:
This was my shop at Albertsons. I got a lot of meat and some other great little snacks and things on sale. The total regular price for all you see here was $87.43 I payed &46.76 Pretty good, huh?
Then I went to Smith's. I bought all you see here, total regular price was $71.20 Guess how much I paid??? $26.34 Yup, that's all!!! Look at all the shampoo and stuff! Check out my steaks! I'm pretty proud of myself.
I have to say that my favorite thing to do when I go to these stores is have them scan everything, see the total, then I give them my customer loyalty card, and watch the numbers go down, down, down... and after that I hand them a pile of coupons and watch my already lower number go lower and lower still! I LOVE IT! I had people in line clap for me once, when I managed to save $113.00 in one shopping trip! It's so cool, the cashiers usually like to look at the bottom of the receipt and tell me my grand total savings.
Yes, I'm a dork. I get a kick out of coupon clipping. But my husband LOVES it that I get such a high out of this. He loves it! So there! ;)

Holi - Festival of Colors
The highlight of the event is the throwing of the colors, and I have to say, I've never had more fun in my life! It was a liberating experience, and it was even more special because I got to share it with some of my favorite people ever!
Playing with colors and welcoming spring! Wonderful time! Douglas, Pri, John and Nicholette! What a blast!
Aren't we cute all covered in paint? I'm sure everyone in the picture will agree, we HAVE to do this again next year!!! (Maybe I could talk Russ into coming with us next time.... maybe.)
And to continue our culturally diverse fun, we ended the night with the best Chinese food ever! (Thanks to Jenny, who knew this place! I can't believe they let us in looking like this!)

Silly, I know....
But here it is. I took a "Which Jane Austen character are you?" test, and my answer is:
I'm not surprised! I've always identified with Elinor Dashwood. If you take this test, come back and tell me what you are!
