Happy New Year!

Alright, I'm not going to lie, I've been lazy.  Very lazy indeed.  Somehow the holidays have taken all my energy and thrown it out the window.  Even before they hit, somehow my energy level dropped.

Anyways, my New Years Resolution is to keep up with my couponing (cookon as my son calls it) and this blog...and the ever necessary weight-loss.  I know, I know, everyone has that as theirs, but I'm paying for a gym membership and not using it, so no more wasted money, time to get skinny!  :)

On to the reason for my blog.  I quit keeping count once I hit my target for the year ($1000.00) so now I need to come up with a new one for the New Year!

Anyways, have a wonderful holiday.  Don't drink and drive, stay safe.
