I constantly have and use coupons that I get in the mail. In fact, just yesterday I used coupons for diapers. It’s amazing how much you can save. Especially when the coupons are $2.00 and up!
Since our purchase of the Wii our new favorite place is Best Buy because they tend to have most of the Wii games in stock. Best Buy coupons are now found online!
And, if you see diaper coupons — please send them our way!

This morning we went to the fertility center and got there at 8:00am. Yesterday, I really had thought that I already ovulated cause I didn’t have any symptoms whatsoever including: cramping, fullness, and discharge. So, this morning they did an ultrasound. I had approx. 10 follicles and all looked perfect. In fact, the nurse said that I was in the process of ovulating. So our timing couldn’t have been better.
We had one of our favorite nurses do the insemation - LuAnn. The specimen had 24.5 million which isn’t a bad cound and we decided to use donor 2480 (Graem’s donor).
Our bloodtest is scheduled for 12/13 - so now we wait. I’m not doing any home pregnancy tests this month because last month they just ended up frustrating me when they weren’t positive!

to all of my single Christian Friends out there! You know who you are!!
Okay, so maybe I just have one - one of my best friends from high school, Shannon.
We always gave Shannon a hard time at church and it started in the 6th grade. We instinctively started calling her “butch.” She was the only one out of the four best friends that didn’t like boys and would prefer reading instead of hanging out with the girls!
Shannon was and still is very intelligent, went to Wellesley and in the upcoming year will be going to Harvard Divinity School.
When I had my most recent conversation with Shannon I asked her how the whole dating thing was going and she let out a half smirk half laugh. You see, Shannon has always been so wrapped up in school and church she really hasn’t ever had time for guys and also never been interested.
Our conversation then turned to how she could meet a nice guy at our old age of thirty. We talked about church as a possible meeting destination - but she’s very active in her church and even works there too. So, meeting someone locally at her church might not be the best option for her.
A new option for Christian Singles out there is a new webservice! TogetherChristian offers an online community for Christians to connect. I provides an arena for Christians to meet others who share their believe. There’s even an option to find others who might be local to you.
Maybe tonight, between playing the Wii and eating take-out I’ll give my buddy, Shannon, a call and let her know of the Christian Singles website. Then again, she will probably be too busy reading a 2,000 page book to pick up the phone!

Grammy went to bed crying and screaming after all that Wii excitement. At about 9:30 she just melted down screaming and crying and was inconsolable. I just held her in bed as she wailed. “You won’t get a baba if you keep crying” worked for a little bit, but really she had had enough. I wonder if this is how the latest baby stage will turn out–no more playing late for Grammy.

So, once again, I’m being paid big bucks by payperpost to make these outrageous videos! In this video I’m Marletta Brown and reporting live from Trumansburg, NY. I talk about the battle between PayPerPost and Cousin It! Although, I love me a good Cousin It…every knows how much I love my money!
In the end - PayPerPost is the clear winner because they support my blogging and Wii efforts!
You too can get paid for blogging!
