I love coupons!!!

Hello, my name is Claudia, and I'm a shopaholic. Yes, that's right. I'm not afraid to say it anymore, and that is why I love coupons. Otherwise, my poor husband would be totally broken by now.
Since he became a resident I'm trying to be "more careful" with money. I check the newspaper for coupons, groceries store sales, offers on clothes, etc. All kinds of stuff. I totally feel related to my father in-law in these moments. I just couldn't believe when the girl in Tom Thumb (grocery store) told me, "MA'AM, YOU HAVE SAVED $34.58 DOLLARS." I just couldn't believe it. It's very addictive and I feel very dumb for not doing it before.
Today I can tell I made the biggest deal in my life. When we moved to the apartment, we had received 2 coupons for wings, 2 coupons for fast food, and 2 coupons for haircuts. We also got 3 coupons for JCPenney's portraits, although their coupons are for discounts instead of totally being free. It's still a pretty good deal. Anyway, we have used the coupons for wings (delicious) fast food (I hate fast food because they should call it FAT FOOD instead; however, if it's free, hey, I will take whatever). I also already used the coupon for my haircut and I LOVED IT! The problem is that it's just one coupon per household so I could only use just one each. Today I went finally to take the picture of Hanna. You see when we lived in Temple we had no more choices but Walmart. They turned out pretty well for being Walmart, I guess it helped that we all are very attractive :) lol. Anyway, in Walmart we always wanted to use their coupons but somehow we ended up paying for more than $100 in prints (that btw I still haven't sent:S). Anyway, I told Glenn that I was just going to go and tell them, "I JUST WANT TO PAY THE 3.99 FOR MY DAUGHTER'S PICTURE, SO PLEASE DON'T TRY TO CONVINCE ME TO BUY MORE BECAUSE THEN MY HUSBAND WILL GET VERY MAD AT ME." Yes, I play the victim sometimes. Anyway, when I was there, I told my memorized speech to the girl and she totally took me by surprise when she asked me, "WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO HAVE AN 8X10 TOTALLY FREE?" I shook my head and told her, "HUH?" Yes my face was also in an interrogatory expression. I'm assuming I had the funniest face ever because she laughed. Then she repeated, "YES, YOU CAN JUST HAVE HER TAKE THE PICTURE TOTALLY FREE. WOULD YOU LIKE THAT, THEN. YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY NADA FOR IT." With an ironic look I told her, "LOOK, IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED I'M A FOREIGN MOM WITH THREE KIDS, SO MY BRAIN IS NOT SO GREAT AND MY ENGLISH ....WELL MY ENGLISH MY BE BECOMING WORSE SINCE I THINK YOU SAID YOU COULD TAKE A PICTURE OF MY BABY FOR FREE?" She of course laughed at me and told me, "YES, MA'AM. THAT'S RIGHT. YOU CAN HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER'S PICTURE FOR FREE AND IT'S GOING TO BE AN 8X10 AS A MATTER OF FACT IF YOU GO ONLINE AND PRINT THE COUPONS YOU CAN COME TOMORROW AND I CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR OTHER KIDS, AS MANY AS YOU WANT." Of course my stupidest face ever asked, "SO I CAN JUST PRINT THEM AND BRING MY BOY TOMORROW, THEN MY OTHER GIRL THE DAY AFTER, AND THEN HANNA AGAIN???" She of course laughed at me again and said, "IF I WERE YOU I WOULD BRING THE BABY 2 MORE TIMES SO YOU WOULD HAVE 4 MORE 8X10's TO GIVE TO YOUR PARENTS AND TO YOUR IN-LAWS." Of course she clarified at the end, "YES, MA'AM, TOTALLY FREE." I just couldn't believe her so I told her, "Okay, first things first. Let's get miss Hanna and take her picture." Hanna was in all her glamour and giving smiles. The lady took so many pictures of her and I've got to choose my favorite one. It was a hard decision since Hanna is adorable and so photogenic. I was through thinking (calm down Claudia, remember you can come everyday if you want and it's FOR FREE...I hope :S). Yes I kept having doubts about my English ability. I finally chose one picture and then she printed the receipt and told me again, "HERE IT IS, MA'AM. I NEED THE COUPON." So I immediately took it from my pocket, she got it and told me, "YOU CAN COME AND PICK IT UP IN 10 DAYS AND HERE IS HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO PAY." My smile totally disappeared and then I thought, "I knew she was lying!" Then she told me, "YOUR CHARGE IS $0.00." So my smile came back to my face and gave her many thanks for the many tips she had shared. I was SO happy that I bought some candy for the kids and we all went to the playground there at the mall. They have a very big neat one. Then we came back, I fixed dinner, we all ate, played, cleaned up, then I headed to the GYM.
I have found it more relaxing to read while I do exercise. I'm reading Twilight for the first time. I'm almost done with the first book. At the beginning of the book I was so tired of reading it that I really wanted to give up. I'm almost at the end of it and I'm enjoying it more and more. I told Glenn (and this is disgusting) that I was reading about how the vampires got Bella scent and they were craving it and wanted it. A small breeze caused so much trouble. I was reading this of course while I was exercising. Anyway on the way back to our apartment I felt drops of sweat coming from my back and my belly and my face. Then I thought, "MAN, IF A VAMPIRE WOULD BE CLOSE TO ME IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DIED WITH MY SMELL RIGHT NOW." I guess sweating is not that bad, but if you have perfume and you combine it with sweatiness...not a great combination, which reminds me, I still need to take a bath!
Nighty night.
