an update on the rental house, we (and by "we" i mean "kyle and his parents") have most of the new windows in and this weekend we spent saturday and sunday ripping off the old roof and putting a new one on. only the porch this time, thank god. i have no PTO time left right now, so kyle and his parents will have to finish it tomorrow.
i'm sore in places i forgot i could get sore it. stupid roofs.

couponing
a lot of people that know me, know i'm a bit of a coupon freak. i've been clipping them since i was a little girl helping my mom. now that i'm older, i'm a bit of a frugal ferdie. that's an understatement, i'm a LOT frugal. notice i didn't say cheap! i'm willing to pay top dollar for things that are WORTH top dollar. and usually, i can get them on sale or for some sort of deal.
so, anyway, the reason i'm babbling about coupons yet again (other than to motivate myself to go through my mound of coupons that i haven't clipped in forever) is because i just got my BIG FAT CHECK (their words, not mine) from ebates!
do you guys use ebates? i do a lot of my holiday shopping online, simply because a lot of the stuff i'm looking for is not available in wichita. i used it a lot for my wedding shopping as well...j. crew doesn't have a store in wichita, but i need to order my bridesmaid's dresses? no biggie, go through ebates and earn cash back! hmmm...i wonder if i can earn cash back on the groom's suits? heck yes, i can!
basically, ebates pays you to shop. you go to their website, search for the site you want to shop at, and click the link. that's it! nothing else for you to do except cash in the check later! not all stores are on ebates, but there are a lot. the one i use most is snapfish, where i get all my photos developed, i send them to walgreens and pick them up in about an hour! an easy 7.5% earned (usually, sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less).
if you are interested in using ebates, take it from me, it's totally worth the time spent. here's my referral link: http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=%2FmELZvgnaN2K3Qyp6n6kfQ%3D%3D
you'll earn $5 just for signing up through me and i'll be that much closer to a cool $50 referral cash!

christmas time is almost here
okay, not really, but it's getting closer!
lately i've been jonesing to do some holiday crafts. it doesn't help that i subscribe to about 30 crafting and sewing blogs...
but, anyway...i think i've found my first craft of the season! it involves getting a ruffle foot for my sewing machine, which EXCITES THE CRAP OUT OF ME! finally, i can get my sewing machine out!
this adorable ruffle christmas tree from Shanty2Chic is just too cute for words...so here's a couple of pictures.

i've got a feeling...
...WOOOOHOOOO!
just kidding.
i've got a feeling that my next car will not be a lincoln.
kyle and his dad have been working on mine for about 4 hours and when i left them out in the shed, they didn't even have the old alternator off.
looks like another early morning trip to work for me! gross.

cop out...
uh, yeah, i'm copping out on you guys once again. at some point in time, i will finish telling you (yes, all five of you) about our honeymoon trip. promise!
tonight i'll actually be on the road, heading up to a Kansas State University IIDA meeting! whoop whoop! i love visiting my alma mater! the fact that i'll be eating at So Long's doesn't have anything to do with how happy i am about a Manhattan visit....no....nothing at all....
so i'm writing this post a little early and scheduling it to post later. that's the first time i've ever done that! wow, the things you learn on the internet.
anyway, i realized this morning that i hadn't shown off my wedding pictures on my blog. yes, i did plaster them all over facebook, but that's probably only for a while. i want to go through, pick my favorites and whittle it down to one album. that's only 200 pictures, so i guess i better pick my favorites of my favorites! so many to choose from!
here's the link to the blog post from my awesomely talented wedding photographer, Jackie Cooper, of jackiecooperphoto!
