My name would be KIMBERLIMUS MOUCHOMEGA. Sweet!

With a name like that, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Today my sweetie and I made our semi-monthly trek to the grocery store. Before we head to the store, we always make a list, gather our coupons and pour over the ads to find the best possible deals.

We weaved our way through the rows and filled our cart with everything on our list and then some. We finally pulled up to the check-out and proceeded to watch the bill go bigger and bigger and bigger. We proudly handed over our Roundy’s card and the pile of coupons we poured over earlier over coffee. The clerk gladly scanned the card and the coupons and then gave us our total. I swiped my debit card and then watched as the clerk picked up the phone and called the manager. Knowing that I have plenty of cash in my account, I quickly asked the clerk “what’s up? what’s the problem?”

He smirks, looks over to us and says with a shit-eating grin, “you saved too much.” I was like “yah, whatever. What’s the deal?”

Just then the manager bounces over to our clerk, swipes her card and pushes a few buttons and my transaction completes as it should. I asked him again what the scoop was and he replied once again “you saved too much money.”

Seriously?!? Have you ever had someone tell you that “you saved too much money?” Needless to say, I giggled all the way to the car. I saved too much money… too funny.

It’s Sunday.  Wait, it’s not just Sunday — it’s a Sunday with sunshine!  My sweetie is off volunteering at a Special Olympics track meet today and I’m home enjoying surfing the net and the sun in the backyard.  Yep, the backyard.  Moving to the west side to Robert’s has given me some great luxuries like a front AND back yard, a two-car garage, lots room to play in, multiple bathrooms one of which I claimed as mine, and a washer and dryer that doesn’t need quarters to operate.  Life is good.

So, while surfing I decided to see what’s going on in the world.  I’ve been so busy with planning the wedding, unpacking, work, sports and my volunteer duties that I’ve fallen behind on what’s happening in the world around me such as what’s up with the Gimpy Girls, dooce, blurbomat, etc.

So, I’m clicking through my favorites and then I was like “What the hell?  Have I been on Mars lately?  How is it that I’ve missed important news like my friend Jessica being pregnant!”  Yep, Jessica is preggo!  A huge congrats to Jessica and Josh for sealing the deal.  I can’t wait to see Lil’ J when he/she comes to the world in November.
