Fleas!

Our cat, Sweet Pea is driving me nuts! She is constantly biting and scratching and since we got her a little collar with a bell attached, it's driving me insane listening to that little bell.

We've been thinking about getting one of those flea dips. A couple years ago she had fleas really bad and I don't want to go through that again!

I'm learning a lot about flea control from Fleascontol.com. Did you know that there are certain plants that you can plant in your garden to repel fleas? Wonderful smelling plants like lavender, eucalyptus and mint! I think I will have to get some and plant around my yard! It not only will smell good, but hopefully keep those pesky fleas away!

Wordless Wednesday

Girly Drama

Wow, Oldest Princess's friends (or so-called friends) are up to it again. She doesn't know which one is to be believed. One friend had a sleep-over last weekend, which we thought she was because her mom had said something about it when she picked up friend from our sleepover. Princess never heard from her so we just wrote it off. Fast forward to today and she finds out that friend did have one and other friend wouldn't speak to friend #1 if she invited Princess. I just have shake my head. I just want to put Princess in a bubble to protect her.

Saving Money

Every time I shop online, I look for a coupon to use. A dollar is a dollar, you know, and hey, I'm cheap!

www.keepcash.com has a ton of discount codes and coupons for a bunch of different stores. The website is updated daily with the latest deals. I can't believe all the coupons I've found on that site! I've seen many stores on there that I shop online at. I'm definitely bookmarking this site.

I've been looking for Disney Crocs. I've found them at www.shoebuy.com and there's even Shoebuy.com coupons. I'm so excited! I've been wanting these for quite a while and to get them even cheaper makes them a great deal!

Before you buy anything online, go take a look, I'm sure you'll find a money saving coupon!

How Walt Disney Cartoons are Made

I found this really interesting, especially since I'm reading the biography of Walt Disney and reading through it all and then to see it in action is pretty cool.

Weekend

Well, I didn't get as much done as I hoped, but I did have fun. :)

As I was picking up Oldest Princess from her sleepover, my check engine light came on. I stopped at a Walgreens, turned it off, restarted, and hoped it would clear itself. It didn't. I proceeded to go get gas. Started it back up and it ran like crap, barely moving and sounding like it was going to die. I edged over to the side, shut it off and restarted. It started and ran fine. ARGH! Craig was out of town, my parents are on their vacation, so I took it to a friend of my dad's who scanned it. It seems to be a cam sensor. Brian said we should at least start with replacing it, but he doesn't exactly know where it is, so he'll have to research it. Ay yi yi. All I'm seeing is dollar signs in front of my eyes.
