I keep allot of my books for references. I have a some what Library dated back to Beta Versions Microsoft, Linux, some classes I took just for kicks. I also like reading Twilight books or Harry Potter.Cook books,anything on Couponing!

I am also a huge: Survivor fan, been watching since season 1 , Amazing Race as well! Big Brother I will watch in the summer if nothing else is on the players have to keep the game interested for me to watch it all season. I watch "Extreme Couponing" and "Craft Wars". Criminal Minds, CSI Miami, Law & Order, Paranormal State, Ghost Hunters, I got into paranormal state when I moved to my families Ranch 2ys ago it hold allot of history. I am some what Empathic, I have not been tested but I have had certain people confirm things.

Crafts, wow I used to be heavy into Crafts I would try something once too see if it was worth the $$ or time to make it. now that I am way out in the Country & disabled I have allot of time on my hands! I am a subscriber to ; All You magazine, they have allot of neat Ideas in that magazine. I miss the old school "Women's Circle" that is where allot of pen pallers got together and created scrap booking! I love making Friendship books I usually have a shoe box ready so if some one needs some I just mail them out. I have not done Deco or Slams since I was a teenager! I think once the internet was born to the public back in the 80s that kind of kicked snail mail for a while. but, allot of us old school people are trying to bring it back to life! I actually had to order Overseas envelopes on amazon last yr for my overseas pals... could not find them in stores anywhere anymore. the dollar store has allot of cute craft ideas and cheap products to make them with as well.

I am also a Couponer! I started couponing back in the 80s when couponing was good, doubling, tripling, ext, now in the past 2 yrs CA State stopped Doubling, Tripling Couponing! So, I had to research and re learn each store policies all over again! my my family says its a waste of time. but, it all in the Math and where to look for the good deals! they are still here in CA you just have to Price Match! I have a small stock pile of items already since May of this yr. I find it funny. I hear friends say coupons never have anything good I like to buy. but, when they see what I have they like my stuff! LOL I am like well folks I bought those using Coupons. Sunday papers if they have a good coupon insert run I will buy 4 papers just for the inserts! I been using a site called dedeecoupons.com for over a yr now and she is very fast service! you pick what coupons you want. but she has a 10 limit per coupon. their are sites coupon cutting services that has no limit. meaning you can buy 100 of the same coupons . if your looking for; Gatorade and its on sale at CVS Pharmacy for lets say: 88cents a 32 oz. buy 1 get 1 free. most those coupons are a 1.00 off. I usually grab 20 and get 40 when they go on sale and stock up. I dont even drink that stuff. but my dad and others do. lol
