St. Paddy’s re-cap.

On St. Patrick’s Day I sported my green outfit, and made the BF take photos of me and our pup before work. I didn’t have a chance to post it yesterday since I wanted to show you all my teeth (hehe, is that weird? I don’t care. I’m proud!).

Here is Alfie and I in the “movie room” and I’m standing in front of our huge projector screen. Nice hey? Alfie is not that red, I think the flash turns him red. He’s still sandy colored where the red is showing. I don’t want him to turn too reddish!! The other photos show his natural color.

st-paddysI sent these photos to my parents, and my Mom jokingly wrote back and said she sees more photos of Alfie than she does of her grandsons (which is true).puppersHai Alfie!!

cutie-looking-upIn the photo above, Alfie is looking up at me (being a good pup on his bed). BF is taking pictures of him. Can you see the top left hand corner of his bed all chewed out? When he gets put in his crate he sucks on his bed and eventually bites it — I think he gets sad when he’s in there (aww!!). But it has to be done. Or he’ll destroy the place and injure himself when we’re not home. He’s SO tiny that he fits into the weirdest places. Yesterday morning he launched over the baby gate we have blocking one of the hallways. Uhg. I hope he doesn’t remember that he did that.

puppy-hockey-bagI love this look he’s giving the camera. He’s not allowed on the hockey bag. But it’s where you’ll usually find him lounging, and looking out to the patio. He loves weasling underneath the straps and feeling like he’s strapped into a seat belt. He just hangs out, even if it looks awkward/uncomfortable. It’s funny to look at but when I say “Off!” when he’s on it – he literally jumps off and scurries under the coffee table. He would normally be allowed on it… if he didn’t like to CHEW so much.

Btw, he totally has a loose tooth. How cute!!

I took him out for a walk on St. Paddy’s day during lunch and after work for a good long long walk. I knew it was going to be quite busy on the main roads (where the bars are) but I took him there anyway. I had a bunch of girls come up and oggl’ed and awww’ed at him. Which was cute. But I also got hit on by quite a few youngin’s! I felt like they were all jeuvie’s and wanted to tell them how old I was, and soon will need arthritis treatment but I refrained — smiled and let them think I was there age-ish.

2 years have passed

Since I had my braces taken off. The last time I went to my orthodontist was 3 months ago, right before I flew home for Christmas vacation. My two retainers ended up breaking at the metal part of the seam. I brought them both into the ortho, but he said it wasn’t a huge deal and I’m probably a night-time-grinder in my sleep. Which I am. My teeth obviously haven’t shifted since the seam break and it works just fine.

teethI love my teeth, and I’m so glad I made the decision to get braces before purchasing a car! Now I have the best of both worlds. My car needs a bit of a bath though, since not having a wash since I bought it!

I love to save

It’s been a while since I posted any sort of promo codes or coupons on this website — it’s mainly over on my Locupleto savings website (there’s a link in the side bar) which gets updated periodically.

However, since I am in the mood to share some great stuff with you today from a few popular well known stores, I decided to put it on the site that gets the most readers. THIS ONE! :)

As many of you who have been reading my blog for quite some time, know that I often shop online. When I do so, I try my very best to get the best deal and use coupons. For instance, I’ve been eying a few bed sheets at a certain store, so Bed Bath Beyond coupons definitely come in handy as that store can be quite pricey. If you order online, you can get free shipping,  while you save even more money on clearance items. Best of both worlds, yes/yes?

If you’re more of a fixer-upper person and not really into bath things, just try searching on savings.com as you can also get Home Depot promotion code to use either online or in store with a print out.

Savings.com is an easy site to navigate, as they update the site regularly to give you the latest deals and coupon codes to choose from! Savings.com even has a blog where you can get tips on how to say “No” to people, if you just can’t spend the money going out with the girls every weekend, or just simply budgeting!

I know I’ll be making a visit there in the future. I need some new towels. :) Now, where should I buy them from, is the question.
