Birthday Deals 2024!

Birthday Deals 2024! Here we go, here we go. A new edition of birthday deals that I am signed up for and I'm here to let you know which ones I redeemed. As you can see by the photo above, I redeemed tons of food ones!  Let's get started. Adidas ~ sent 15% off a purchase. I did not end up using this Albertsons ~ 2x the points on my account. I don't super care about that and I did not go out of my way to go to Albertsons in the month of July American Eagle - free $5 - I got a pack of cute cherry socks and paid the difference (about $4) Archibald's (UT) - free meal when you dine in. I did not get to UT to use this in time Azteca (WA) - free flan or churros. I was not in WA this month to use that like I was last year. Baskin Robbins - free small scoop. I redeemed this in Idaho Beansters's (CA) - free drink. I did redeem this Benihana's - I did not use this and they emailed me an extension that makes the deal good until Aug 28! But, it's good for dinner  only, Mo...

I feel like it's been quite awhile since a really really good Christmas movie has come out in theaters. Do you feel this way too? If so, the wait is over because the movie Journey to Bethlehem is coming to theaters November 10 and I couldn't be more excited about it. Truly. It's a movie I've seen a couple times now and will definitely be seeing it again with any friends and family who want to go.

3 Years, Say What?

  Someone mentioned to me last week that March 15th was when the US went into lockdown for the pandemic. Another friend made a blog post talking about how if you feel off, it's due to a dramatic shift 3 years ago. It was interesting to read the comments. I am not sure I have felt off, maybe a little? But I chalked it up to the fact I have been on trips and it always takes me a day or two or three to readjust when I get back home and try to slide back into my routine.  But it also got me thinking of the last 3 years. I don't think I really blogged a whole lot during covid about my actual thoughts and feelings about being locked down and the never-ending bad news I listened to daily for a while. So since this blog is also like my journal in a way, I figured it better late than never for putting down some of what I remember especially in 2020.

I put that graphic on my Instagram stories and nobody sent me a guess. I suppose it was too hard of a word to unscramble? I am kidding... So let's get to it. My word for the year is
