Root Beer On My Birthday

Root Beer that drank on my birthday

For my birthday, I drank beer.  Umm….Root Beer.  And for some reason, I did not get a hang over or feel weird the next day.  Most of my friends and relatives know that I don’t drink, so the thought of me drinking any beer is something to laugh at.  In my whole life, I have drank very little alcohol.

I went with a friend to eat at a Chinese Buffet.  After that we went to Orange Leaf to get some yogurt.  At the Orange Leaf, you grab a bowl and fill it with different kinds of yogurt.  I selected Cheesecake and Coffee flavors.  Then I put cashews, granola bits and hot fudge on top of it.  It tasted pretty good.

I got a few birthday cards.  I also got some gift cards for StarBucks, Subway, Walmart, and another resturant.  I even got a postcard from Starbucks for a free coffee drink.  I don’t remember giving my birthday to Starbucks, but I was glad that I did.  I will take a free drink from Starbucks any day!

High Tech Coupon Money Saving

I needed to go to the store yesterday.  First, I went to coupons.com and looked for coupons.  I found two coupons I wanted and printed them off on my printer.  Then I drove to a local store, shopped for my items and then went to the check out counter.  I also have an application on my iPhone that allows all my rewards cards to be stored on the iPhone.  I pulled up the Key Ring Reward Cards application and selected the bar code for the store I was at.  I was able to have the clerk scan the bar code that was on my iPhone.  I think the cash register rung up the items with the discount for the reward card.  The only thing I forgot to do was go to the Cellfire Mobile Coupons application on the iPhone.  I could of selected the coupons I wanted and then select that I want to add them to the reward card.  Then when the clerk would of scanned the reward card, they would of automatically been taken off the total price at the check out register.  Next time I will plan my trip out a little better.

My Halloween Pumpkin I Decorated

Pumpkin that I made

Here I am with my wonderfully decorated pumpkin.  I had no idea what to do when I was told to pick out a pumpkin and start decorating it.  I ended up taking a wet paper towel and wiping up all the mistakes that I made.  I looked around and saw that a lot of other people were giving their pumpkin hair.  So, I decided that my pumpkin was going to go blond.  I dont’ think I will ever perfect making ears.  I was told that you just make a question mark on the side of his face in order to make it look like an ear.  I would say that my pumpkin did not turn out too bad.

My Halloween Adventure – Corn maze and decorating

Halloween sign 2011
My Halloween adventure involved helping a friend to decorate her yard.  Here is some pictures of the decorating process.  Above you will find the “welcome” sign.

Halloween spider

The Halloween spider web.

Halloween grave 2011The Halloween graves made out of garbage bags.
At night, they produce an effect of raised dirt.

Halloween witch 2011

The witch in the coffin.  A friend of hers made the coffin.
Then she lined it with red felt.
A shirt was then stuffed with newspapers and
then a hand was attached to the sleeve.

halloween scary guy behind meHere is the scary guy behind me.  Some how I just
don’t look that convincing that I am in danger.

Mexican restaurant in Omaha, Nebraska

First stop after this, was the Carlos O’Kelly’s here in Omaha, Nebraska.
Rather good Mexican food they serve.

Skinny Bones Corn Maze near Omaha, Nebraska
Next stop, was Skinny Bones corn maze which is located near Blair Nebraska.  I went with some friends through this ten acre long corn maze.  Except on Saturday nights, it is the haunted night.  They had monsters and creatures that were within the corn maze.  One character we came to was a person in a straight jacket wearing a hockey mask.  He was just standing there in the middle of the path.  I have to admit that it is rather weird trying to walk around a guy dressed like this.  You feel that at any moment that he will jump out at you.  We also met a guy dressed as a chef, but not a very trusting chef since he had blood all over him.  I think he was wanting one of our ears for a meal that he was fixing.  I can’t say he actually said this. But between the screams from my friends, I think it sounded like what he was asking for.  One friend told me that he told her that we were going the wrong way.  Now who is going to trust a bloody chef that we are going in the right direction?  We went ahead and went that direction since we were already lost.  We came to a circle and ended up coming back the same direction to where the bloody chef was.  The chef delightfully said in a scary voice, “I told you that was the wrong way”.
