Freebie -- $5 coupon from Kohls (and more!)

I found this wonderful project, on how to make hair clips and hair bands. One of the links included how to sign up for Kohl's emails, and you would recieve a $5 coupon, and then 10% off of future purchase. I signed up, now am waiting for the other...

Anyway, here's the link, thought I would share...and check out the clips and hairbands! I might make a couple of clips for myself! They are cute!

Kohl's Coupon and More!

And just to show, here's the hairband that she made!

Quotes: Things I found today

Sometimes they really speak to you...sometimes they are just funny.

This is the #1 that I found today, out of some that I re-tweeted...because it fits me so perfectly:

You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. (I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toy's R Us kid...)

Dear Elmo, please stop breathing I want to see what color you turn Sincerely, curious.

Two contradictory ones...*laughs*:
It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor as long as you have money.
I have no desire for money. It's stuff that I want.

At this point, I'm just scared. Because I don't want to lose you. And if I end up loosing you, I won't have anything else to live for.

I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy. I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry.

Do I actually dream in colour, or is it just a pigment of my imagination?

Some fun ones I came across today, and a couple that hit deep...hope you find something in them, also.

Free Glasses: 3/25 at 12pm EST

I think this is the third time that they have done this, or at least the 3d time that I have seen this. Coastal Contacts is giving away 10,000 pair of free glasses. The only thing you have to pay for is shipping, which I believe is around $12, if I remember my last order.

They came VERY quickly, like a week, from when I ordered them. And they came in "perfect" timing...my son came to visit, and had wire glasses that had broken across the bridge of the nose...irreparable. As a joke, I handed him my glasses, since I was still wearing contacts, and said "here, try these on". Amazingly enough, the prescription worked for him, and saved him for 3 weeks, and is now his backup glasses.

So, at noon EST (9am PST), I would sign on...I think last time, it was very busy, and I didn't get to put in my order til around 9:30 or 9:45am. So I wouldn't wait til the last moment, but I wouldn't worry if you aren't one of the first 5 to enter, either.

So, here's the information on how to get the free glasses...hope it helps some of you!

Jewelry Jokes: Just Some Misc Jokes...*smiles*

Just some jokes that I ran across today, that I thought I would share...some of these strike home. *laughs*

Never tell a woman she is wearing too much jewelry. You should always be politically correct and simply say she is "Metallically Overburdened"!

Being the most conservative guy at work, when Jo walked in the office sporting his new diamond studded hoop earring, he made quite a scene. A colleague approached him to try and question him about his unexpected fashion statement. "Don't make such a big deal out of it!", said Jo, "It's just a diamond earring!". The colleague continued: "I'm just curious to know what made you decide to pierce your ear?". Jo replied: "The fact that my wife accidently found the earring in our bed."

A lady walks into a diamond jewelry store wearing her recently purchased diamond engagement ring. She tells the jeweler: "You sold this ring to my husband a few days ago, but it's the wrong size". The jeweler quickly replies: "that's no problem, ma'am. We could get it resized for you in no time!". "No", answers the lady, "You didn’t seem to understand me. You sold my husband a 1 carat size, when clearly my right size is a 5 carat diamond!". (oh, don't we all agree with this? *laughs*

A woman shows her best girlfriend the brand new diamond engagement ring she just received last night from her fiancée. "Wow!", exclaims her girlfriend, "This is a beautiful diamond ring!". The woman replies: "Yes, it is quite wonderful. The only thing is, this specific diamond is enchanted with a curse". "Really?", asks her girlfriend. "What sort of curse?". The woman replies: "Well, my fiancée, of course!"

Hope you like them! I will hope to post more later!

Fibromyalgia and Other Things

I haven't really said yet, but I have fibromyalgia.  I am learning that it changes a lot of things.  I could sleep 4 hours and get up and be okay.  Some days, I needed 12...or I would sleep 10-12, wake up for 2 or 3, then go back to sleep for 3 or 4...Now, in addition to pain, especially unexplained pain in my back and shins, that can't seem to be found or "fixed", most days, I need 10-12 hours to sleep, and it's not even restful sleep, even with taking ambien.

Why am I saying this?  Because I was hoping to make this a daily journal...but it seems like some days, I will be doing a lot more, and other days, probably no posting at all, because of the time I get home. 

Hopefully, I will have time to write out what has happened/is wrong with me.  Perhaps I will find some people that have gone through the same thing.  Oh, I know...fibromyalgia covers a LOT of range of pain/disabilities, but what I will want to hope to find answers to are things like shin pain, medicines not working the way they should, Veteran's Administration (how to find out about getting disability through them), disability in general...there's a lot that I will be trying to work on.

Anyway, I can't do much right now, so I will just say "goodnight" to everyone for now.

*waves good night*
