"Behind" the Scene

Due to LAME weather, my girl's camp, camp out was CANCELLED at the last minute...At first I was bummed but then something occurred to me - I had the weekend 100% clear of any responsibility...

That is when Chad and I took a spontaneous Bike Ride Trip to the Silver Comet Trail. Let me tell you how epic this event was - I cannot think of ANYTHING that Chad and I have ever done that was spontaneous.

It was awesome, we loaded the bikes onto our bike rack and headed out! Chad and I have never gone on a long bike ride so we just decided to ride 10 miles there and back and see how tired it made us. Let me tell you, it was a BLAST!!!

When we were done we headed to the Taco Truck (my second love in life, the first being Chipotle). I, of course, demolished a burrito and two tacos, thank you very much!

The only negative to the entire spontaneous event is that my BEHIND hurts like all get out!

I think I have found my new hobby and my new next purchase - a padded bike seat - maybe they have a down feather one ;)

...I forgot my camera...so pictures to come from our NEXT trip!

Coupon-ing

So, I really want to get into Coupon-ing because I really like to save money (who doesn't?), so I added all these coupon Blogs to my Google Reader. I thought that if I forced myself to read through them everyday, I would be motivated to print them out and plan ways to use them.

FAIL - All I seem to do is scroll through them really quickly so that I can get to the Blogs that I ACTUALLY want to read. Pathetically, the only coupon I used was for Chipotle (of course, FOOD).

HELP - What are your coupon-ing tactics, methods, style? How do you keep track of it? How do you not miss the deadlines? MOSTLY, how do you NOT get sick of the emails/blogs of coupons you don't ACTUALLY want?

If you coupon, please tell me how you do it. I cannot seem to get the hang of it...
