UGGH! I am so frustrated. For the past couple of days I have been trying, without success I might add, to embed music onto this blog. Do you hear what I hear?-exactly! There is no music playing on this website. BOOO! Well, folks, you will all have to settle for a nice background and fancy, green fonts 
.
. Anyway, on the baby front, I am still wrapping my mind around the fact that I am going to be a mom. 
There are a few questions that I have, though. I've never been in this situation before, and my body has been doing some zany things. For example, (prepare yourselves for this because it's going to be TMI), I have more cervical mucus now than when I was trying to conceive. For a few moments I thought that I had started my menstrual cycle. NOPE! It's pure cervical mucus. I did some research on the internet-where else do you find top notch, premiere, scientific information- and it said that what I am experiencing is normal. I guess as time goes on I will earn to get used to being so moist ALL DAY...not!

So let me tell you about what happened to me yesterday. OK, like I said in my intro blog, I am an "closet" extreme couponer. I have been accosted by several cashiers and managers, blah, blah, blah. So I am used to holding up grocery store lines for 10s of minutes at a time. Yesterday, I am happy to say that I was NOT the cause of a 30-minute check-out line delay. Here's what happened: There was a lady and her partner in line ahead of me. The lady wanted to purchase 5 6-packs of Ensure which were advertised at 5 for $29.99. No big deal, right? WRONG! The Ensure rings up at $37.99. So when she informs the cashier that the price is wrong, he says, "Well, this ($37.99) is what they are ringing up as so that must be the price." As a couponer who is always looking out for the bests deals, I cringed. What did he mean; she should pay the higher price just because the computer is wrong? Well, she pulls out her paper and shows the young, misinformed cashier what was in the sales add. His response, "Well, my computer says $37.99." Holy Cow!! The battle has begun 
Is he serious? So then he tells her, "Anyway, the sales paper says 'LIMIT 4' so I can only sell you 4." I could not help getting involved at this point. I politely informed him that the "limit 4" means you can do the grocery deal at most 4 times in one transaction. Then the lady asked him how it made sense that the add was $5 for 29.99 but she could only buy 4. I laughed so loud. I didn't laugh at the young man, mind you. Rather, I laughed at the absurdity of the situation. Eventually after speaking with everyone except the owner of the store himself, the cashier got the approval to sell the ensure to the customer at the price that was advertized in the weekly sales flyer. Imagine, this customer had the nerve to want the store to honor the flyer. How crazy was that...
