What happened to this blog? Or Money for nothing....

I am not sure why I stopped, and I am inspired by my dear friend Shelley to continue.  I may ramble, but I will try to include music and saving money-two of my favorite things.

So, this includes Both!  I put my "business" card in one of those little jars at our wonderful downtown music store, The Record Exchange.  I got an email that I won a cd.  Ryan and I went down on a Sunday with my email and I kindly said, I am willing to pay the difference for the new Train cd, but if I can't I suppose I will take the Trace Atkins cd listed on here.  They reply, wait a minute, we will see what we can do.  Next thing I know, the nice guy is bringing me the new Train cd!  Hands it to me and says "there ya go"!  Wow, are we stoked or what!  New music---FREE!  I rarely buy cd's so this was exceptional good fortune.  By the Way, the Train cd is awesome.  We love to sing "Save me San Fransisco" very loudly in the car.

In other news...I got an email for a buy a $50 gift card for $20 to Renewed Expressions from Living Social.  I jumped on that so fast.  Then, if I "share" it with my friends, I could get a freebie.  I know a lot of gals who also like that store.  Next thing I know...my $50 GC is FREE (thanks Heather, Tona & Patty)!  Do not think I waited.  I took myself over there the next day and got a very cute short sleeved "coat" from White House Black Market that I can wear a ton of ways, and still have half my GC left to get something else.

Lastly, got this necklace at a swap.  I am going to re-purpose it and maybe have a necklace and earrings.  I will post when I re-do it.

Who says you can't get something for nothing?
