Hello,
I would like to receive the latest mailer that was sent out for the Kroger in Ft. City, TN (Knoxville 37918) – $6 off $60 type coupons.  I received these when the store had the grand opening and they were GREAT!!

I found this fascinating quote today:

How quickly things change. The recent Pew study on social media adoption, which I blogged about here last week, showed that, as Nicholas Carr puts it, “blogging is now the uncoolest thing you can do on the Internet.”Kent Anderson under, The Scholarly Kitchen, Feb 2010

You should read the whole article.

Great article – new year, new beginnings for Scholarly publishing (IMO!)

Apple.

Really looking forward to seeing how this will effect the publishing business.  Definitely time to kick that xml workflow project into high gear.

Sam Muscato ran a marathon in memory of our moms this past weekend.  I’m so proud of her and I love her so much for making my mom part of her journey.

You can see her cross the finish line here!

I saved some money today at Target.  I’ve been inspired by couponKatie and Frugalissa.  I’m learning how to use coupons to get the best deals where I shop.  I saved almost 16 dollars with coupons today!

My New Year’s Resolution is to get our finances under control and really save us as much money as possible in the coming year.

Leave me a comment if you have any suggestions!

Happy New Year!

YES!
