Brighter Day Even At -11

I know I said I'd be away a couple of days, but I woke up this morning determined to turn my frown upside-down, despite the negative temps outside. There's no use going through life with a bad attitude. I have grand plans to go to the gym at lunch today and hope that will give me a quick attitude adjustment.

On another subject... I am excited to say we ordered a new television. When ours died an untimely and premature death on Thanksgiving, I was more than a little perturbed. But, we found a great deal and used Ebates to get an ever better price. I'm telling you... I do not buy anything online before checking the site first. It's seriously the best way to save a little moolah! You'd be amazed what stores you can get cash back at-- like Billion Dollar Babes (another members only discount site), Gap, Old Navy, Target, Walmart, Overstock, Sephora, Ebay and Minted! A friend of mine buys all of her diapers online, so I finally talked her into going through Ebates first. She's already saved $30. I'm treating it like a savings account! I wish I'd known about the site eons ago. It would have saved me some wedding cash! The best part is that if you refer other people, you each get a little extra dough in your pocket.

This post would be rather boring without a little something extra, so I'm leaving you with a recipe I found here:
