7 Quick Takes Friday {Volume 44}

The internet literally is a small place. Over the weekend I was at Disney World tweeting away my experiences and someone tweeted at me, “OMG are you at WDW so is @blank?” And as HUGE as WDW is we were both at the same park! I didn’t know this person but it was still a fun coincidence. Want to make the world smaller? On Sunday we were both at the same park again!

On Sunday while I was cleaning out my coupons I found an ExtraCare Bucks that expired in JULY for $8!! I thought I was going to have a panic attack! Someone said sometimes CVS will take them so this weekend I am going to see if I have any luck there.

This week I found some information about a new young adult group that is meeting twice a month on Friday evenings for Young Adult Catholic professionals. The first meeting is next Friday so we’ll see how it goes. Looking forward to a meeting I can actually make.

This weekend I’m going to be boring and do a major cleaning of my room. I have lost something and need to find it. I should start praying to St. Anthony now. I’m also going to really work on some blog posts and reworking my blogs and other internet projects.

I used to have soo many topics to blog about but right now I’m in a rut. I feel like everything good has already been blogged about and I just can’t seem to focus! Hopefully after doing some redesigning of my blogs this weekend it’ll get me more motivated.

I’m really excited that some of the fall shows are coming back next week!! I’ve been a tad bored this past week as there has been NOTHING on TV!! #dontjudge

Since starting my online dating adventure I have learned a lot about other people. I am seriously wondering how truthful people are. One thing that my friend and I have noticed is that all the men workout 5 times a week, eat really healthy, and never watch TV. I must be hanging out with the wrong crowd because I don’t know many people in real life that do those things. Oh well it’s all in gods time (that is what I keep telling myself at least).

Well I’m back…still doing quick takes on this blog. Haven’t gotten a chance to set the new blog set up to be running yet. Probably won’t be over there for another few weeks as I’ll be out of town this weekend.

I’m actually really looking forward to where this change will take my blogging life. I’m super excited for the Christmas season and being able to promote more christmas sales/deals for everyone to have a great christmas!!

Still researching new opportunities. It’s so hard to figure out the right thing to do when you get so many varying answers depending on who you talk to. And then when you tell people what you want to do they think you are crazy…yes I’m strange.

Have you ever taken a personality test? We had to take one for work a few weeks ago and got the results last week. I’m not really surprised at my results as I’ve taken TONS of these tests in the last few years. Although it did finalize that I need to be working with data/numbers and not people hahahaha

On Tuesday we did a pretty big shopping trip at Publix. We saved 60% which ended up being over $200!!! Here are some pictures of our haul:

Yesterday I FaceTimed video chatted with my 12 year old cousin for the first time EVER. I always want to FaceTime with people but no one else ever wants to. HA It was pretty fun to do I felt like I was in an episode of the Jetsons!!

Totally felt like this!

One of my new photo apps is called MUZY. It actually has a really cool online part that has come in handy. It has all sorts of fun editing tools that Instagram doesn’t have. But I still love the social aspect that Instagram has. One of the tools Muzy has is “stickers” you can add to your photos. Here is a picture of Pierre I edited of Pierre:

Milo has been dethroned :)

Only 10 more Quick Takes till I will have done 1 full years worth of Quick Takes!! W00t! Didn’t think I’d ever manage to make it to 1 year worth of quick takes.

Speaking of this may be my last quick takes on this blog :( I finally decided that I need to split this blog into two blogs. It was going into too many directions so I am going to be moving my quick takes to my new Lifestyle/Catholic/Reviews/Giveaways blog: Beth Anne’s Best. I’m working on getting it set up as we speak! This blog will remain up but it is going to be STRICTLY deals/coupons/frugal living/saving money posts.

There’s lots of changes going on at my job and I’m not sure how I’m going to like them. I’m seriously thinking about going back to school. I need a career coach to tell me what to do #firstworldproblems

Last night I was listening/watching an online Catholic Webinar called, “Apostles in New Media.” There was a lot of great information. The best quote from the night was left in the comments: “This is very important because occasionally somebody suggests that Catholic bloggers and new media producers should have CHURCH approval. In fact, WE all received CHURCH approval to EVANGELIZE….on our CONFIRMATION day!”

Now that the Olympics are over there is NOTHING on TV. I’m ready for Fall TV to come back and most shows don’t even come back till the end of September :(

— 2 —

One new show I have found while nothing has been on TV is a show called World’s Worst Tenants on Spike TV. If you ever thought you were a bad tenant watch this show. They make my stained carpets and holes in the wall look like scratch marks. One guy was keeping BEES in his spare bedroom, another lady was keeping a live HORSE as a “pet”, and a third guy was hosting an illegal fight club in the building he was renting (that one landed the tenant 3 years of jail time).

*WARNING* do not watch this show around young children as there is some beeping in the show*

My Mom’s out of town this week. So I’m going to actually do laundry this weekend. Maybe I shouldn’t admit that i don’t do my own laundry on a public forum. When we livd in Texas I ALWAYS did my own laundry but ever since we moved here my mom has kind of taken it over. I think b/c now she has to get dressed up for work so she has to pay attention to her wash more often. I also think it’s easier for 1 person to do laundry than 3 people since you don’t waste water by doing half loads.

I think all this RAIN is really getting to me. I’ve been super sad and emotional this week and just feeling blah not wanting to deal with anything or anyone. It has rained literally EVERYDAY THIS WEEK!! UGH!!

I had another crazy savings bulk purchase this past week. TOILET PAPER!!

This toilet paper is still at a STOCK UP PRICE at about 25 cents a roll (since they are double rolls).

I have a lot of stuff to do but I think I’m going to go do something “fun” tomorrow anyway…we’ll see.
