The Daisy Field

As we all know by now Osama Bin Laden has been killed by American troops just outside of Islamabad.   Do not get me wrong, I do not  think this is the bad part. What makes me so sad is that people are partying in the street.   People are rejoicing that someone is dead and they are openly wishing someone a painful horrid death filled with  an eternity experiencing anguish and torture in Hell.  This thought makes me so sad.    Have we actually become so jaded?    Moreover, have we become so blind?    Bin Laden was merely a figure head, a face to a cause.   There are millions behind him who will step up and continue his war.    Until we can come to a peaceful understanding it will NEVER end.    This makes me even more sad. As many of my dutiful readers know I am a very empathetic person and also very logical (okay well most of the time) and I will often present the ...

First off an update...Chris and I had a wonderful christmas season with the family even though it was crazy busy as usual.   For those of you who only read the blog and not facebook....In December I was diagnosed with Intercranial HyperTension (basicly my brain is swollen and causing pressure).  It was a hard month but  I am doing well on the medication despite the crappy side effects and my inability to remember to take medications on time!  I am currently following up with 3 doctors each month and going for routine labs to make sure I am still okay.  Needless to say I am totally sick of seeing the doctors LOL.    This apparently will continue for at least 6 months BLAH! In an effort to get my brain and body healthy again I have decided to go back to what works for me!  Peer pressure LOL.   I have joined Weight Watchers again and got myself a work out buddy who can work out with me at lunch or after work!   ...

Okay Ladies, I got another Bzzagent job....I needed to review the Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-A-Clean Power sprayer.    I was thinking it was a pretty silly idea, but having used the shower cleaner and it making a difference I thought I would give it a try! WOW - my husband actually did the spraying and then I totally forgot about it.   He told me he liked that it had a continuous spray!   A little bit of back story, we live in a dingy little basement suite, but its our happy little dingy basement suite.   The bathroom taps get a little gross and leak so they get that gross black and rusty stuff around the edges and you have to clean the counters every other day if you don't want to see it. I went away to camp and when I got home I was in the bathroom and asked my husband if he had cleaned up while I was away.   I was amazed when he said no! There was no groadies around the tap and the counters had no soap scum or toothpaste ...

Its been just over two months since my Aunty Sharon passed away and today she and her family has been on my mind all day.   I was looking at picture of the kids trick r' treating and it amazed me how fast time is flowing the older I get. It doesn't feel like that long ago when all of us would go out, I can still remember the layout of the house and the feel of Sharon or my mom yanking on our hair as we pick some "pretties" out of the olive green tupperware that was always kept in the cupboard just over from the fridge.   I remember camping trips, card games in the rain, playing outside till it was dark, eating fruit from the tree till we felt sick and so much more.   I remember trying to sleep on the waterbed and getting busted for chewing gum while "sleeping" by my parents.   I remember everyone gathering at Sharon and Dwights house in a huge storm and squeezing the puppy in the car while they ran back to get Tanya.   The visit...

I have lots to update, but I will do that in another blog!   This blog is to highlight my newest shop! First off I have to give a shout out to Leigh-Ann and Justin at the London Drugs at Lougheed mall!   I have never had such a fun experience doing a shop!  They were very welcoming and were happy to see the couponers in the store!   They wanted to know if they had run out of anything or if they needed to order something else we wanted.   They even went so far as to find other coupons and bring them to us at the cashier to see if we had them.   Even though the store closed they were happy to have us there and weren't rude in the slightest even though we apologized a ton!   They would like us to call ahead and order items if we are going to take large quantities, especially when we have the really good deals on diapers since they cant stock tons of different sizes and types.  So all I can say is GO TO THE LOUGHEED LD!...

Well lots of changes in the Wasney household lately.  Both Chris and I are at new jobs and very very happy  to be enjoying work.   I am sure Chris will tell you all about his job, so I will leave that to him.   I am now at the Office of the Chief Judge, and really liking it.   I am hoping they trust me with more work soon as I could use it. Girl guides is starting up into full swing now, it will be very wierd not to be going back to a unit, but I think I am going to enjoy the new job. No baby news yet, but we are still practicing! :) I had another shop today with Denise to get rid of some coupons that were going to expire.  I thought I would tell you about it.   I have been saving the money that people have given me for items they have purchased from our pantry/storage and today I went and did a shop and spent that money.   I wanted to know how much I could get for my 27 dollars.   Well I went to LD again a...

I forgot to post my first extreme shop here on my blog....so here is a link to the post but to sum it all up I spent $102.00 and had a coupon savings of $204.93 (without counting pricematch and sale prices)! not to bad huh! Well I have done it again!   Denise and I decided to hit the store last night and I picked up some great stuff my final bill was $61.72 and my coupon savings was $122.47 and again this does not include sale prices, although I have to say that I did not have to pricematch yesterday.  Everything I was going to pricematch ended up being the price at the store!    I think Denise had to pricematch 3 items. Here is a picture of my haul! for those of you who can't see the picture....my haul includes the following: 2 deep woods off, 1 active sport off, 1 coppertone sport sunscreen, 6 bars of jergens soap, Nexxus shampoo and conditioner, Automatic shower cleaner with two 1 l refills, 4 double packs of glade scented oil refills, 2 scent...
