Exceedingly Mundane

::Butterflies are Free::

Onesome: Butterflies– ‘Tis the end of butterfly season, at least here in the Northern Hemisphere (hey, we have readers and respondents in the Southern); what are looking forward to seeing around the yards and neighborhoods in the next few months. (…besides snow, unless that’s all you have staring back at you during the Winter months!) Well, I haven’t seen a lot of butterflies since our rudbeckia stopped blooming and we cut them back. We don’t see much around here in the way of color in the fall, or any snow in the winter. Fall and winter around here just means everything is brown and dead. Not beautiful, but I’m used to it! 🙂

Twosome: are– Are your sports teams doing okay this Fall? Baseball is down to the final stretch and it’s time to chose up sides! …and football is darned interesting at the six-week mark? No interest? How about curling ? Sigh, our football teams are not doing great. USM is doing ok, but Tim’s beloved Saints are another story. USM is not as good as we had hoped, they have had a rough game or two, but they are doing good overall and we’re looking forward to watching them on TV tomorrow night. We will watch the Saints every week, but they disappoint us a lot. We don’t really get into baseball, but we’re glad for the Astros because of Trent and Shanna. Sorry, curling is not in our vocabulary! 🙄

Free– What is your favorite “freebie”? That ‘buy one, get one free’ sale? …the ice cream cone from your local shop on your birthday? The samples at Starbucks? Inquiring minds and all that… Gosh, I love any freebie! I love sales, I love coupons, I love samples, I love signing up for programs for coupons, points, saving us money, any and all of that. Can’t go wrong with any of this stuff in my mind! I signed up for the Sonic Cruisers club and get coupons every month. This month, for my birthday month, they sent me a coupon for a free creamslush, which I have yet to use… need to do that soon! I signed up for Club Olay online and get free samples in the mail of Olay products. Signed up for myPoints online and I get $10 gift cards every couple of months to spend. I love all of this stuff!!
