I would like a new fridge please

Check out this blog
http://www.angiesgiveawaysandreviews.blogspot.com/

My SIL had it on her website and I thought I'd try. I could win a $200 gift card to Best Buy! And if I win it, my husband will help me spend it ON A FRIDGE! (Sorry honey!)

I get another entry into the contest for blogging about it. I do want to say one thing: NO ONE ELSE ENTER PLEASE. I want to win. :)

Here's why I said I need a new fridge:
First: IT IS LOUD! There are many nights while watching TV, I swear it is going to walk out to the living room and say something to us (maybe it is and I just can't understand it)
Second: It doesn't seal properly. That dollar bill trick?--yeah, I can pull it out no problem.
Third: It is too small. I don't think they make a smaller one except for a studio apartment or a college dorm. Thanksgiving--I use our garage for an additional "fridge." Thank goodness it gets cold where I live.
Fourth: There are dings on it from the nearby pantry door (which has no door stop--another long story)
Fifth: I never win anything! How cool would it be to say I won!!!!!!!!!!!! (no pun intended)

So go check out her website, but don't register.

Misc.

Just a few miscellaneous things to tide me over until the next post.

Wal Mart savings! Monday, I only spent $91 at Wal Mart. But wait! $20 of it was on a gas card for gas (you get 3 cents off with a gas card). But wait! $13.17 of it was for stuff for K's birthday party Thursday night. So actually I only spent $57.92 on groceries. And I didn't even have many coupons (2) or matches (2) this week. It's been a lot of work but kinda fun too.

K isms: As she was sucking her thumb Sunday, a friend asked if he could have a taste of her thumb. Her answer was "No you have your own." Well duh! Monday night at the game she did NOT stop talking. I asked if her mouth was ever shut. "No Mommy. That's why I have a mouth."

Blessing: I have been praying for some extra money to come in--to save for Disney, to put towards the swing set that we WILL be getting next week, and a few other things. I was thinking some babysitting for me or some PPVC jobs for Daddy. We got a check in the mail today for a nice amount that was overage from our mortgage company. Not how I was expecting it, but thank you Lord!

C had a little (short for even him) bike that someone had given us 2 years ago. It didn't sell in their garage sale and so they just gave it to us. Just this year, he has really taken off on that bike and is confident riding it. Well it got a flat tire. I mean a hole in the tire, can't be fixed, flat tire. So tonight we are going to look for a new bike for him. He said he is willing to put all his money ($37) towards it. I"m hoping we can find a good one at a good price.

This cool car/truck was in our neighborhood yesterday. She was visiting a friend across the street. She kindly let me take pictures. Not only do I think it's very cool looking (I like old cars) but I loved the color. It's a 1929 model T Truck, I think? I'm sure about the year (I asked her) but not the name. Oh well. It's cool. And it had an "oo-ga" horn. Too funny.
McD's: is giving away a free McCafe' every Monday until the end of August (7am-7pm). Go try one! Hey, it's free!
Daddy is done with softball for now. His tourney is Saturday and then it's over! Unless they decided to play summer league. Aaaah! I have no idea if he ended up with a winning record or not. He played a double header Monday night. I do know that he won the first game (beat our other FBC team) and lost the second game. We are waiting to see when we play Saturday. I just hope not the 8 am game. 9:05 wouldn't be too bad.

I think that's all I have for now. Hopefully tomorrow I will blog about our very small July 4th celebration.
