I'm an MBA Graduate!

I GOT MY DIPLOMA!!!  After spending the last 2.5 years getting my MBA, as of today, I am officially DONE!!!!  It's been a long, difficult journey, but it has been well worth it (hopefully)!

I couldn't have finished this degree without the support of my family, who have always been there for me, and have never doubted my dreams, no matter how crazy they might be.

But most of all, to the hubs, who taught me that even the largest task can be accomplished if it is done one step at a time.  So...

To my best friend and HUSBAND - T
I affectionately dedicate this degree.
For teaching me that great things are born from tiny sparks of inspiration.

Tuesday morning

It's only Tuesday morning, but already the week is turning out CRAZY!

T was away on a 4-day weekend at Cancun for a close friend's bachelor party.  (Yes, doesn't it look GORGEOUS?  I have to admit, I was a bit envious when I saw this photo...)  So I had to spend the weekend alone livin' the single life.  Although the late night movie watchings, catching up with old friends, and not-having-to-cook-for-4-days straight are all great things, I'm glad to have him back.

Cancun, Mexico

Now we're off to a crazy start of the week!  This morning, T's car wouldn't start.  First, I thought the battery was dead and needed to be replaced, but that wasn't the problem.  After a few hrs of phone calls and coordinating, the car has finally been towed to our mechanic to figure it out (thank God for AAA!!!)  I have an interview later today, which I'm now finally able to sit down and prep for, and another interview tomorrow!  Although this week has started off hectic, I'm hopeful the week will end peacefully!

'Extreme Couponing' leads to arrest

I've been into couponing for about 2 yrs now.  But my fire for it has been re-ignited this past yr after watching the new tv show Extreme Couponing on TLC.  For those of you who haven't watched it, the show chronicles (obviously) extreme couponers, who can get $800 worth of groceries by paying only $27.  Yes!  Believe it!!!

The show always ends with the total retail worth of their shopping and how much was actually paid for it.  BUT, they never discuss HOW its done, the extreme couponers never reveal the secret to their success.  In fact, when this one lady was asked how she got all those stacks of coupon inserts, she said "God blessed her with them..."

I'm always left bewildered by this show - I'm always left wondering "How do they DO that?!  Where do they get ALL those coupon inserts?!" 

Well T forwarded me this article which might finally give some answers!  'Extreme Couponing' leads to arrest
