Adding poetry to this blog

I just found out that poetry.com has resurfaced under new management so my poems that I wrote back in 2000 and 2001 aren't lost after all!

I am writing some new poems too. I've been writing since I was 12 years old and its one passion that I lose touch with as life gets busier.

Publix BOGO sale

Today, my husband, the kids and I made our way over to Publix for some end-of-the-week grocery shopping. We were literally scraping the back of our pantry, that's how broke we are! Luckily, Publix is having a really good BOGO sale and we picked up some last minute things:

Quaker Chewy Granola Bars- BOGO
Doritos Cool Ranch- BOGO
Publix Deli Tea- BOGO
Mueller's Pasta- BOGO
Ore Ida Frozen Potatoes- BOGO
Fresh Express Salad kits- BOGO
V8 Splash- BOGO

Then some extras we got were:

Vegetarian sushi rolls
Milk
Eggo Buttermilk Pancakes
2 Spongebob Kraft Mac and Cheeses


I'm sure there were a few more things but I forgot. I"m new to this whole blogging thing so once I get my shit together, I"ll save my receipts and get some real numbers for you. For all that , we spent $40.10. To me, it was kind of a lot but its going to feed four people for 5 days so I don't know. We'll see!
