I’m pretty sure there is nothing more frustrating in the whole entire world than when a coupon WON’T PRINT!!  I’m sure you know what I mean.

That’s why I was delighted to discover this post from Macomb Money Savers about printable coupon troubleshooting.  Did you know that you can typically change only 1 or 2 letters in a coupon’s URL to make it work in a different browser?

If you are like me andwant to be sure you don’t lose any more hair when trying to print coupons, go here to get some help!

Gone Camping

We are all packed up and on our way to Creation Northeast.  (Picture Woodstock–only with Christian bands.)

We scored some free tickets because our friends our playing and we are going to help watch their son–who is also best buddies with Griffin.  (Check out their band, The Proxy–they’re awesome!)

So, we will be without all the amenities of life for a few days–including internet connection.  But, have no fear–I have all sorts of fun stuff scheduled out.  You’ll hardly even notice I am gone.

Now that I am all done re-writing my packing list, I remembered a great site that I found on From the Trenches of Motherhood.  It’s called DontForgetYourToothbrush.com and it’s a fantastic resource for all you fans of list-making.  You can create your very own customized lists in advance and they will be e-mailed to you in the time frame that you designate.

The only tricky part is that the site is British–so some of the wording is a bit confusing.  (For example, can anyone tell me what a ‘budgie’ is?!)  But other than that, I have a feeling many of you will love this site.  Do you have any other great tips when it comes to preparing for a trip?

Oh…and by the eay, next time I go camping, will someone remind me about this post?  Thanks.

Finding Your Perfect Match

job-interviewYou sit across the table from him, staring into his eyes.  Can he tell that your heart is beating wildly?  Does he know the thoughts racing through your mind: Is this what I’ve been looking for?  Have I found my future?  Does he feel the same way?

After going your separate ways, you find reasons to check your voice-mail multiple times a day and your e-mail constantly.  When he finally does write, you read and re-read the e-mail, attempting to interpret what has been written. He had a nice time talking with me.  What does that mean???!  Am I the answer to his prayers?  Or is he just not that into me?

First date?  No, I’m actually describing the job interview process. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told Wes that this whole job search things feels like we are going through the dating scene all over again.   It’s got it all– from the butterflies of the first meeting to the heartbreak of the break-up.

That’s why I was glad to find this article about Job Search Romance from Wise Bread, assuring me that we are not alone in feeling that way.  Sigh.  And I thought we had given up the dating scene seven years ago–I guess this is a nice little reminder that I really don’t miss it!

If you’ve been recently laid off, I recommend checking out Wise Bread’s section on Unemployment Tips and Rescources for the Recently Laid Off. It’s full of helpful advice for navigating the twists and turns of the job search.

Do you know of any resources for the recently unemployed?  Leave a comment and let us know!
