So tonight I met my BIL and SIL for dinner. It was fun. I haven't seen them in a long time. She is a special education teacher and I was able to ask her questions about my nephew, who isn't talking yet, and is 2 and a half. She gave us some good insight. I hope that his parents listen and then do something.

GreenRoad

I heard about this company called GreenRoad. They have this technology that can help drivers reduce accident rates and lower costs. The technology has shown to reduce accidents by 54% and decreased fuel costs by 7%. There's lots of applications for technology such as this. Think about if you own a fleet business - you'd definitely want safe drivers. And what about teenage drivers? This is a useful tool to show them where they need to improve their driving skills.

Ready for the highlights of my weekend?
- My inlaws were here
- My car broke down, therefore leaving me stuck in my car with my inlaws for 3 hours
- The only room at the only hotel we were able to get to was a suite with a heart shaped whirlpool tub
- My MIL insisted we soak in said tub together

Free Coupons

So if you know me, you know I LOVE Free Coupons! I'm always looking for a deal or a way to save money. So when I found out about this site, I was a little skeptical. I didn't know if it would be easy to use or if the coupons would actually be useful - but they are! The site is updated daily and its organized so that you just click on the store you want the coupon for and it take you to all the coupons for the specific store!

Here's some of what I found:
Do you or someone in the family love to cook? Well, there's lots of coupons for cooking.com!
Or do you need some new luggage? I know I do! Well, check out the coupons for luggageonline!

ROCKtober

So how about those Rockies, eh? I am so excited! I think they really can do it! I just wish we had tickets to one of the games!

In other news, well, there's not much going on. Still without my laptop, which makes me sad. I've been beyond busy with work and family visiting, I'm looking forward to there only being two people in my house again!

Electronic Mortgage

So who out there cares about the environment? I know I do! I like to recycle and conserve whenver possible. So the idea of an electronic mortgage really appeals to me. When we closed on our house, we had to sign piles and piles of paper! I don't even want to think about all those poor trees that had to be cut down :( But, with an electronic closing, you can eliminate most of the paperwork! Think about how good you'd feel knowing you did your part to help the environment!

My laptop is broken :( I'm going through withdrawal. I loved that machine. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Good news is I invested in an external hard drive and had just backed everything up. I really love the external hard drive, too. Its really come in handy!

Gifts for Him

When my husband and I went shopping yesterday it was too easy for me to pick out tons of things that I would like for Christmas (too many, even)! But, he didn't give me a clue as to what to get him!

If you're looking for gifts for him, check out Car Guy Garage! I found an awesome wall mounted bike rack that I think he would really like. He loves his bike, but we don't have a good place to store it. He'll love it!

Go Rockies!!!! I am so happy. So let's not even mention those Broncos.

Today we had some friends over for dinner. It was super fun. I made an awesome salad. Green leaf lettuce, mushrooms, strawberries, apples, glazed walnuts, and parmesean cheese with poppyseed dressing. It was seriously amazing. I love coming up with new things to put in salads.

Holiday Shopping

Today my husband and I went to some nearby outlet stores. Its crazy that they have some Christmas stuff out already! I think I heard that Thanksgiving is less than 7 weeks away! I can't believe it. The holidays will be here before you know it. That means you better get on that holiday shopping!

Wanna know my secret for holiday savings? Its Coupon Chief! Its a one stop website where you can find great deals from lots of different merchants. I love to decorate and make holiday crafts, and am always looking for ways to save money on supplies. Well, today I found some great Joann Fabrics Deals! That will help out with the holiday budget! I can't wait to start making all that fun stuff!

And my dad is a gadget guy, so a gift using Best Buy Coupon Codes would be perfect! This site really will make staying organized through the holidays much easier!

My sister-in-law had her baby earlier today! He is a big boy! 9 lbs, 6 oz and 22 inches long! I hope that's not a sign of how big the babies are in this family! I think I would like a nice 7 pounder! I can handle that. But, we are so happy to welcome this new little life into the world. I can't wait to meet him!

Cash Advance

I've never really thought about it, but pay day loans are great to avoid accumulating debt and ruining your credit. Sometimes honest, hardworking people just need to catch a little break. If you have an unexpected expense - because I mean, let's face it, your car always chooses the worst time to break down - a cash advance can help you pay your bill without having to max out a credit card. So, next time you're in need of some emergency money, check out some payday loan companies. You just might be glad you did.

I'm back from a week in Aspen for a work conference. It was great. The trees were in full color and it was just so gorgeous. Even though it was for work, it was very relaxing. I got in a couple little hikes and all in all enjoyed my time there. It was great for team building too, as we were able to have a little time to bond outside of the office.

Garage Cabinets

I've really been wanting to get our garage organized and install some garage storage cabinets. It would look so much nicer in there and be much easier to work on stuff. Its too expensive for right now, but I've found the set I want! They are aluminum and they're black. Very nice.

I'm off to Aspen for the rest of the week for a conference for work. Rough, I know ;)

Go Rockies! I'm very excited!

My friend had her baby. Little Lyndi was born on Saturdy and she's gorgeous! I love her lready.

Dr. Collier

Remember how I said my friend's brother had the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding procedure (LAPBAND)? He didn't have a good experience, but has gotten great results. I wish he would have known about this Houston Lap band surgeon. You have surgery in the morning and are released later that day to spend the night home in your own bed! Everything at the facility is designed with patients' comfort in mind.
