I just finished going through the Sunday paper coupon section. I had stopped clipping coupons for awhile because the warehouse store doesn’t take them. Now, since we’ve gotten a Super Target, I’ve started looking again. Sometimes I find a lot that I can really use and other times I come up empty handed.

When we lived in Maryland, we used to get grocery coupons in the mail all the time. Out here, you can only get them in the Sunday paper. The ones that come in the mail are mostly pizza and fast food.

I have looked into free grocery coupons online. I usually check them when the Sunday paper is kind of a bust. What about you? Do you clip coupons? Do you bother with anything less than 50 cents off? Do they wind up expiring before you remember to use them?

People always tell me I should write a book. Sometimes I think so, too. Writing a book seems easy. Getting it published seems like the hard part. I’ve considered self-publishing, but always thought that the end product would be unprofessional, like a spiral-bound notebook or something. Looks like I need to do some more publishing research, because I just discovered that you can self-publish hardback, paperback and even children’s books all online. How cool is that? I love the Internet.

I don’t know if you noticed, but I have a new section in my sidebar: “What am I doing right now?” It’s been up for about a week, maybe two, and it is run by a service called Twitter. I saw it on someone else’s blog and thought it was cool. Then I read more about it and found out Everyone is using it—even Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and as we found out from the news the other day, the McCain campaign, too. It’s mostly a cell phone and pda application, I think. I’m kind of behind the times on handheld texting. I thought I should at least try it out, though. I want to be like the cool kids, too! Only problem is that some days I forget about it and it looks silly, like when it says I’m going to bed all day long. (Wouldn’t that be nice, though?) I can’t decide if I’m going to keep it up, though. I keep thinking, why would someone even care what I am doing right now?
