Good News. Free Stuff and Books

All of Natalie's tests have come back. she does Not have Celiac. Her liver, thyroid kidneys etc all good. Her Iron is still low but it is higher. She was at 8 the first test (they want you to be at 12) and she was up to 10 for this test. So we keep her on Iron for awhile. He told us keep a log of her worst symptoms, because we think they are monthly related. If that is the case then we will take her back to the OBGYN for another evaluation.

I treated Paul to a free lunch form KFC today and I had a Free ice tea from Arby's to go with it. Oprah had Free two piece meals posted yesterday on her website. this is fro KfC new grilled chicken. We got two pieces of chicken, a roll, mashed potatoes, and I had Cole slaw, DH had an extra scoop of mashed. Everyone in line had the coupons. Line was out the door but went real quick. Most people bought drinks or something else not me I just took my two free meals to go and left. Then off to Arby's they had their new ice tea today for free. I tried the peach. It was good but a little to sweet for me. Took everything home and we had a nice lunch.

Last week we bought 30 boxes of cereal. Why so much you ask. Well most of it was on sale for 2.75 and some for 2.00 I had coupons good for one 1.00 off each box. 1.75 for cereal is a decent deal. We go through the stuff like water. To make the deal even nicer for every ten boxes we bought 2 free movie tickets printed out. So 6 free movie tickets and 30 boxes of cereal.
Then Kmart has a deal buy 4 hershey bags of candy (on sale of course0 and get a free ticket to night at the museum. Since our VBS needs hershey kisses and I had coupons for them 4 bags of kisses to donate and a free movie ticket.

I really really like Ted Dekker's novels. He writes a very fast paced who done it mystery type of book with christian themes. Hard to really describe his books but every time you think you know what is going on he changes the plot again and you start guessing all over again. Well I just finished reading one of his more recent ones. And I did finally finish it but while the subject is very current eventy(is that a word) It just took me awhile to really get going on it. In a nutshell
a law is passed banning anyone from claiming that their religion is better or the only way to salvation. Anything said against anyone else is considered a hate crime punishable by law.
You can still have church , have different religions but you can not say anything that would defame or condemn any one else. In spite of this being slow to get into I highly reccomend his books. I think the best one to start with would be Blink or Three. (I think three was made into a christian movie) I also just finished the latest Beverly Lewis novel. Very good but it really leaves you hanging at the end so I am guessing it will be at least a two or three series of books.

  1. Well, I'm glad Natalie doesn't have celiac and they were able to rule some stuff out. Wish they could help her feel better though.

    You are a marvel with your money saving!!!

    I have not read Ted Dekker. I'll have to look into him. Ab and I went to the library yesterday and I found some new Christian authors. I have not read a REALLY good book in a long time. I'm on a mission!
