OK so I don’t know what made me do this today but I googled “coupon lowes” because I was going to buy some plants there (Lowes is a home improvement store). Normally when you google anything with coupons you get to these weird sign up pages and loads of scary looking stuff. But today I came along this and they had a link that without hassles brought me to the Lowes website where I could print a 10$ off coupon that I totally just used. I also got a 10% off World Market foods coupon and I’m sure there’s so much more, I just had to leave work ;-). So yes, got my 10$ off coupon and bought some herbs to replace my turf herbs that looked dead (I guess they were dead…) and a plant for me and a plant for Yung and Axel whose house warming party is tomorrow.
Hope you’re all having a great weekend and hopefully the US based readers among you will get some good use out of that coupon site.
Cheers!
Just a quick entry before I’m leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow. I’m actually sitting on the patio of Starbucks here because my connection at home is non-existent and I figured my family would go crazy again if they don’t hear any updates. So I emailed. I’m so bad with keeping in touch without internet and phone at home. It really sucks! I feel bad! Und hallo Jenny, sorry Dir muss ich auch unbedingt schreiben und zwar in Deutsch!
So this weekend was really nice again. Actually this whole week. Let me make a list to manage to do that…..
oh funny, there’s a guy speaking German on his cell at the table next to mine. will have to talk with him….
A while ago some other guy stopped at my table and asked for my number and he was half German, too. small world…
– Monday Chadi and I killed more than a bottle of wine and ate chocolate a la Bridget Jones cause he was sad. Too much wine. Enough said.
– Wednesday I had dinner with a new German in Charlotte who doesn’t know any people yet. I know how that feels (hallo Ireland) and so we had a good time eating pizza and chatting. Afterwards I spent at least 2 hours at Target… hmmmm.. fun shopping!
– Thursday I had a business dinner with someone from a trade magazine. Good times and I got a lot of marketing advice so that was awesome!
– Friday night I hosted a little cheese and wine soiree and I went to ALDI and Trader Joe’s. I LOOOVE that store! Totally cool food for such little money. I was so happy. The party was great. I think we were about 15-20 people and the men weren’t even there. Good to finally see most of them again in one place.
– Saturday I watched Fun with Dick and Jane and that movie was sooo funny. Loved it! Watch it! Also did laundry and read a lot and then at night my neighbor Ash took me along to some Led Zeppelin cover band concert. totally not my type of music but it was so so so funny to see these guys dressed up like a 80s band. Scary really with the woman pants and the curly long hair not to mention all the fans. Teeheeeeeee!
So yeah tomorrow I’m flying to Las Vegas for that trade show and I’ll be back Satuday night so be good!
Sorry for not checking many blogs out lately, it just doesn’t quite work with the shitty internet connection and the busy life here. Miss you guys!
