It Arrived! :D

April 29th, 2009 at 02:13 am

So yesterday afternoon I checked my mail. And guess what was in it??? I bet you'll never guess. Oh, ok. Maybe you did. Smile

My debit card for unemployment!

Now all I have to do is go to the bank tomorrow and get that money safely into my checking account. Woo Hoo!

Something else in the mail which made me laugh, although it also was kind of a reminder of what the economy is like right now.

Walgreen's sent me a check for $25 for a transferred prescription. What prompted this? My transferring a prescription to Tom Thumb to get their gift card. LOL!

So, once I'm ready to refill the prescription again, I guess I'll just have to find $25 worth of Walgreens stuff to buy. (You have to use the whole $25 at one time, no cash back.)

Thanks Tom Thumb and Walgreen's!

I was contacted a few weeks ago by someone asking if I'd review a couple of books for their publishing company on my book blog. I let the person know that I wouldlove to, but that I would be moving soon to a new blog.

Long story short, the person who contacted me is an artist/illustrator. She offered to create a header for my new blog.

I managed (after nearly 3 hours of messing with it) to get it added last night.

I really hope you check it out - she did a beautiful job and I just love it!

I've subscribed to the Holy Cuteness blog, and tonight when I opened up my email I found a link to the latest post, and thought I just HAD to share it with you.

Especially for cat lovers:

Tomorrow is my one weekday off, so I will be catching up on my internet time, and also probably go and do my celebratory IHOP meal. Smile

Hope all is well with ya'll!

    Excellent News! It's been a long wait, hasn't it?
    Walgreen's has a bunch of stuff that's free this week (I just hauled out my shopping list) with their Register Rewards--maybe you could get those and stretch that original transferred prescription cash even further!

    Yes, nearly 10 weeks!

    I only have one prescription that I get filled monthly, and I don't think I could get it refilled yet. But if I could ... getting free stuff + register rewards would make it an even better deal!
