Thursday's Five Things - 11/5/09

Five things I'm thankful for and that I love:

• I love the sight of
Projects lined up for me to work on.


• I love the sound of
Kids laughing and saying "Trick-or-Treat".


• I love the feel of
Rearranging our living room furniture.


• I love the taste of
Grilled chicken and pasta with vegetables.


• I love the smell of
The light lingering scent of perfume.


• I'm thankful
For family and friends.

Groupon Shopping

Have you ever heard of Groupon.com before? No? You're in for a surprise!

Do you do any shopping online? How about getting discounts or coupons to restaurants, events, retail stores, or your local grocery market? During these tough economic times, I am definitely looking for coupons and sales.

Go take a look at Groupon. They have daily deals that could give you huge discounts on the coolest stuff in your city. Just take a look!

The key thing is that enough people have to be in on the offer, for it to truly be available.

Example: Pay $6.00 for $18.00 worth of cracked wheat bread at HEB. - 150 out of 200 Groupons. 50 more people needed.

Here's a link to how Groupon works, and here is their FAQ page.

Recent deals for Houston:

• Pay only $15 for $35 worth of organic food at Ruggles Green
  
  
• $5 for $10 worth of chocolate at The Chocolate Bar
  
  
• Unlimited Go-Karts, Bumper Boats and Mini-Golf with All-Day Pass to Mountasia
  
  
• $5 for two tickets to Houston Hot Sauce Festival September 19th or 20th ($10 value)

Check out Groupon to see what today's deal in your area is.

Happy Halloween!

J and I ended up dressing as baseball players.



J has played baseball since he was a little boy.
He was on the varsity team in high school and still plays for fun.



I played softball when I was younger.
I haven't found a women's team around here, so I haven't played in years.


Halloween costume party at a friend's house.


Lots of good food!


Friend's son (zombie) and daughter (cat).
She wasn't wearing her ears for the pictures.



Sweaty kids + blue hairspray = a mess.


Once the kids were finished playing on the Wii, it was the adults turn.


The costume prize winner was a sweet princess.

I hope your Halloween was enjoyable, and not too spooky.
