Chatting and Coffee...

Tonight I went out and had coffee with the girls! (Steph, Julie and Sarah) It's so nice to get out and talk about anything and everything. They make me laugh, that's for sure! :o) Julie found Waldo, she's a super spy that TRULY needs a haircut! ha ha! And the guy with the weird moving brows was TOTALLY distracting! ;o) He made Sarah cry, not sure if it was sheer terror or that he was amusing. Then we went to Harris Teeter to search for wine tags (ones in NC don't require wine purchase, and there are some AWESOME coupons on them) and other coupons. We are all addicted and may need to form a coupon-aholics group. That would mean we'd need weekly meetings. I know I could use that, but would the husbands allow it? As to how we'd help our coupon addiction, I have no clue, I think we'd only make it worse. Making it worse wouldn't be so bad since we'd be doing it together. All falling deeper into the world of coupons, on a mission to get out of stores with spending no money or the store OWING us money. Not a bad addiction, so should the habit be broken? Only downfall is the cashiers who make us think we are doing something wrong, telling us we can't save that much money and calling their managers on us like we are convicts. Then the managers looking at us again like convicts while we have at least one of our children in tow. We are on their surveilance system looking guilty, while the managers call their corporate headquarters on what you are trying to do. (They are told to do it 99% of the time, and it makes them MAD!) Maybe we should just go in groups to deal with the belittlement? So really is it a coupon-aholics meeting or simply a support group to deal with the guilt that the cashiers and managers put on us when we are doing NOTHING wrong? Or, should we begin workshops for cashiers and managers on proper coupon usage, so they see that it is VERY possible to walk out of the store only paying $.07 and saving $40. Nonetheless, we were VERY successful in our hunting endeavor. I'm super thankful to have made such great friends in the past couple of years! They are pretty awesome! As a bonus we all have children right around the same age and they all get along so well too! SO, I know most of them have seen this, but here's the quote again... I love being weird with them! :o)

We’re all a little weird and when we find those people whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into a mutually satisfying weirdness and call them our friends and best friends...

And I must add that my super sweet husband watched the girls, fed them dinner and put them to bed so I could get out for a bit. Major kudos for him, he ROCKS! :o) Now, really though... how can we win the lottery?
