This weekend I made homemade dryer sheets.
I also clipped and organized my coupons into a nifty new system that I think is going to work great. It's based off of this idea. After that I took the coupons to the store and cashed them in on some deals. I saved $35 at Kroger and $20 at Walgreens. It felt wonderful. My stockpile of shampoo had officially run out, and my cabinets were dangerously close to lacking any toothpaste. I can now say I haven't paid full price for either of those things in over a year. Nice!
Tonight I did a taco bar for the family and a friend that Jon had over. I made Katie's guacamole, which was great! (Recipe to follow.) I also made homemade taco shells for the first time, I usually get the pre-made junk in the box. But never again, it's so bad to fry up the corn tortillas, but no more than I eat tacos I figure it's an okay treat. So tasty!
The weather as you all know is just fabulous. I did all of my errand running today while wearing flip flops! Mark the calendar: February 8, 2009 and I'm already sock-less. I can only imagine my mood will plummet when it chills back up though.
Finally I leave you with my vacation short list, because I need opinions. I have no idea which beach to go to.
-Hilton Head, South Carolina (or another SC beach, suggestions welcome)
-Outer Banks, North Carolina
-back to the panhandle of Florida
-St. Simons Island, Georgia (or Jekyll Island)
-St. Augustine, Florida
-Orange Beach, Alabama
P.S.
The Guacamole:
2 ripe avocados
the juice from 1 lime
(mash the avocado with the lime juice together before stirring in the rest)
some diced red onion
chopped habanero pepper
2 cloves garlic (feel free to use a teaspoon-ish of that pre-diced stuff you keep in a jar in your fridge)
handful chopped fresh cilantro
pinch of salt
stir it together and then nom nom nom! :)
My note: the nom nom nom part is especially vital when consuming this guac. ;)

I have no opinion on any vacation spots because I am a poor loser that doesn't go anywhere. But you know which state my heart is in! lol!
SC is weighing heavily on my mind. We drove home through there last summer and something about it felt like it was a place I should come back to. But I'm still searching other factors. Did you guys visit the Charleston area?
Yep... our friends live just outside of Charleston. Kind of like we are to Louisville. They took us to downtown Charleston but it was actually too cold to do much but eat and then grab some coffee. I was hoping to take some sweet pictures...
yay, i'm so glad you liked it!!! :) i'm officially addicted to avocados right now...it's becoming a real problem
