Guess who I met today??????

Okay - so I have 10 mins to run into Albertsons and grab a few things before picking the kids up from school....After parking I notice the license plate on a van a few cars down from me.. SIS SAV.....so I think of Sister savings...( for those of you who don't know what I am talking about, she has her own website where she prints out all of the ad match prices of the week in a PDF. It totally saves me a ton of time and loads of money!)

I totally stalked her through the store and finally got up enough nerve to say something...so I snuck up with her in front of the pork chops and said

"I saw your license plate." ( smooth, eh?)

she looks at me kinda funny....."Oh, the Sister Savings....."

I take a step closer..."Are you really her?" ( I am such a nerd!)

I think she is scared at this point....she smiles and nods, yes.

I literally yell...Oh My Gosh! I love you! I use your website all the time...I am only here without my lists because the strawberries are better here!!!" ( ???? wth?)

The lady thinks I am nuts for sure.

So, I try to act normal and say" I really appreciate all you do on your website....I read on there that you are going to have to start charging money to use it, how much will you charge?"

She goes on to tell me that it was supposed to have happened a long time ago, and people are telling her that she will lose all of her people, and she is making a huge mistake...etc....but she has to, her husband lost income and they can't afford to maintain it anymore.... She is going to charge 5$ a month.

I say" That's perfect...I will stay..it is totally worth it ....I save 150$ a month at least using your lists!

She smiles big and reaches out and hugs me....

Me and Sister Savings embrace in Albertsons!!!

How cool is that?

Shin Splints

Before I go off on how much I hate my legs right now..I have to tell this funny bit. I was searching on the internet for some stretches or treatment I could do for shin splints...I typed in chin splints. I was quickly told that the sure cure for that would be to pick my chin up off the ground while running. Ha!
So, I am on week 3 now of the couch to 5K....some of you are runners out there....help a chubby girl out.... THESE HURT!!! Have you had these? Any relief?
The walking/ running intervals are deadly...it actually doesn't hurt that bad while running...so I look forward to week 9 when I can run the whole thing! Seth promises me new shoes from a good store that has you run on the treadmill and tells you what shoe is best for you!
Bob from the Biggest Loser..my boyfriend....:).....said this week that a large % of people that have support and someone to do a program WITH, succeed. So, thanks to my girls, Kassie and Jaime for staying strong. Now, no more ice cream after our runs!!!!! ( we really have done that...a couple of times..... baby steps, right????)

Happy Birthday Angie!

Today is my sister Angie's birthday.....Happy Birthday Sista! She lives in Ontario, Canada...so we can't go celebrate with her! But we love her to pieces and can't wait for another visit! Come soon Auntie!! We love you!
