I just got back from the store and if you are reading this, tonight is the last night of this sale. I combined Savvy Shopper, Grocery Smarts, and the Grocery Guru to find these deals. I went to Albertsons and with my sunday newspaper coupons I was able to buy ten boxes of Kelloggs cereal ( I got the sale where you buy ten items for ten dollars you get five dollars back. I then had a three coupons. One coupon was 1.50 off of one box of frosted flakes. I recieved Three of these boxes for Free) I got 2 boxes of poptarts, 6 hamburger helpers, two cans of vegtables, 2 bottles of Ken's Salad Dressing, 2 bryers ice creams *normally $ 6.37 I got it for .50 cents* had Igone early this week I would have gotten hot dogs for really cheap but they were all out. so
What do you get for
10 boxes Kellogg's cereal
2 boxes Kellogg's pop tarts
6 boxes hamburger helper
2 cans of veggies
8 boxes of Kraft mac n cheese
2 bottle of Ken's salad dressing
2 boxes of bryers ice cream
This would normally cost 94 dollars. I saved $74 dollars in coupons and my final price was $20.52. I pay for three newspapers on Sunday for 12 dollars a month. One shopping Trip far outweighed that. I Then went to Smiths and bought other stuff I needed and still came back saving 12 dollars off the original albertson's price !!

Land That I love
Since the 4th of July is coming up and I live in America, it is therefore our Independence day~ I decided to talk about things that I love. First off I am so grateful for the many young, brave, men and women who have had the courage to fight and stand up for America. I love that this young country is free enough that people can express their own views without being punished. They have a right to open their mouths, and stand up for what they believe. I am glad those that disagree/agree with me have a right to shout it out. Those of you who know me know that I am a little obsessed with WWII and 9/11. I decided when I go back to school after my kids are in school, I might not just go into teaching, but I would love to teach history. My heart aches for that time in history and all those who were involved. There are MANY Other pain/sorrows/war/hero's and so on to talk about, but as I think of war I think of the heartbroken mothers that had the courage to send her son/sons/daughters away to fight for the freedom of others, only to saw goodbye for the last time. The spouses that dedicate the time for their loved one to be gone to stand up for what is right. I know America isn't perfect and I can see why other countries have a hard time with her. I am so thankful for our founding fathers who were on the right track of wanting a choice place to be free.

Which would you rather?
Here is a fun game. Of course you have to trust your instincts and better judgment. But there is a difference from that and judging a book by it's cover. Be honest on this test and see how you do.
Which face would you rather give you a massage:
1.
2.
If you chose number one with the face that looks like he is trying to be a little too sexy and you wouldn't want him to give you a back massage, you should have. This is Uncle Rio from Napoleon Dynamite. If you chose 2 because he looked little bit more normal, you no longer would be heard from. This is Gary Ridgeway better known as the Green River Killer who killed over 26 women. (The pictures do look a little alike I thought.)
B. Who would you rather babysit your kids?
1.
2.
If you chose number 2 you were right. This 18 year old girl agreed to have three stars tattooed on her forehead, she fell asleep and woke up with 56 on her face. Her dad was not very happy!
If you chose number 1, looks once again can be deceiving. THis is Belle SOrenson. Ring a belle?jk This woman slaughtered many men that became her husbands. She collected insurance off of them. Her first husband and their children mysteriously died, and she is known for killing her adopted children.
C. Who would you rather hire as your cook:
1.
2.
If you chose number one, your more then likely to have met her in a hotel room. She is the number 1 prostitute in her town.
Number 2, was a war sex slave in her own country. She was taken against her will during WWII by her own people to be a "Comfort for the Japanese Soldiers". Finally after 50 years she came out to get some peace.
d. Who would you rather date
1.
2.
Come on you know you didn't chose number 2, really who wouldn't have chosen number 1. You think you know this game now don't you? Well maybe you do. Number one is the lovely actor Jude Law. Number 2 Ow ow literally! She has a record for the most piercings on a woman in her country.
E. Who would you want for your cowboy:
1.
2.
You know the saying, "Save a Horse..." well baby, baby! which cowboy would you want? One of the real gun carrying cowboys of the west, or well heck a guy who wants to be a cowboy? If you chose number one, sorry ladies eye candy for some of you I am sure, but he is taken and in a committed relationship with his partner. I guess this was a trick question because number 2 was Herman Webster Mudgett a man who killed many women by promising that he would marry them if they signed over their life savings. HE then would throw them down an elevator shaft and gas them to death.
F. Who would you want as your nurse:
1.
2.
If you chose number one your Right. Number 2 sounds straight out of a horror movie. This guy Richard, was a nurse who would drug up his patients to a near death state. HE would torture them and the patient would be able to see what was going on but wasn't ble to move or talk to the other dr or nurses on staff. He would then come running in making him look like a hero. He was a serial killer that many people feared to go near hospitals.
2.
First one was a serial killer with her husband. Number 2 is the famous Mother Teresa~
G. Which hitchhiker would you chose if you had to pick one up in your car:
1.
2.
Number one is Ted Bundy. The serial killer that a lot of people in Utah remember. Number two was probably just late for his job as a woodsman. Who knows.. dun dun dun
H. If you were a teacher who would you hire to sing for an assembly:
1.
Number one is probably a better choice if you are in a highchool. The second one is a prostitute who tried to get her serial killer off the hook. First one is Susan Boile from Britan's GOt Talent.
Who would you rather bring home to mom and dad:
If you chose number one you get Daniel Craig and Clive Owen. IF you chose number two you get Brad Pitt with Tom Cruise. I must say they both look pretty good, but I will have to chose number one because I like those two actors... For the actress- you have Marylin Monroe morphed with scarlet johanson and Jeniffer Lopez morphed with Jennifer What you think?

Ruth & Naomi
Lesson today is on Ruth! When I think her and her mother in law, it makes me happy to know I have a good mother in law as well. If I had to leave I would be able to go with her and enjoy my life as Ruth did.
HERE is the lesson

Amish Friendship Bread thanks to:www.flbelt.com
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF METAL SPOON OR BOWL FOR MIXING
• DO NOT REFRIGERATE.
• LET AIR OUT OF BAG REGULARLY.
• IT IS NORMAL FOR THE BATTER TO RISE, BUBBLE AND FERMENT.
Day 1 Do nothing.
Day 2 Mush the bag.
Day 3 Mush the bag.
Day 4 Mush the bag.
Day 5 Mush the bag.
Day 6 1 Cup flour, 1 Cup sugar, and 1 Cup milk. Add to bag.
Day 7 Mush the bag.
Day 8 Mush the bag.
Day 9 Mush the bag.
Day 10 Follow the directions:
1. Pour entire contents of bag into a non-metal bowl.
2. Add 1-1/2 Cup sugar, 1-1/2 Cup flour and 1-1/2 Cup milk. Mix. Batter will have a lumpy appearance.
3. Measure 1 Cup of the batter into a 1 gallon bag. Repeat 3 times so you have a total of 4 bags with 1 Cup of batter each. Keep a Starter for yourself and give the other 3 bags to friends. Mark the bags with the starting date. This is Day 1.
4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
5. To the remaining batter in the bowl, add:
a. 3 eggs
b. 1/2 Cup milk
c. 1 Cup oil
d. 1 Cup sugar
e. 2 Cups flour
f. 1 large box (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding (not prepared)
g. 2 teaspoons cinnamon
h. 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
i. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
j. 1/2 teaspoon salt
k. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6. Grease 2 large loaf pans. Mix additional 1/4 Cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Dust the greased pans with half of this mixture. Keep the other half for the top in #7 below.
7. Pour the batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the top.
8. Bake for 1 hour.
If you keep a Starter for yourself, you will bake every 10 days. This bread is very good and makes a great gift. Only the Amish know how to create the Starter, so if given one, remember to keep a Starter for yourself.
