Summer Break and Nuun Giveaway

I am so elated to be able to say that I am finally on summer break!!!  After a grueling condensed 8-week summer quarter (because we are switching to semesters) I finally have 12 days where I am absolutely FREE to do whatever I want!  NO school, NO homework, NO work!  So what am I going to do with my 12 days of freedom before Autumn Semester starts?
Besides pull a Skinny Runner? ;)

Never fear… I’ve already made a To-Do list! :)  It includes things like:
     ~Read the last 2 books in the Harry Potter series
     ~Go shopping
     ~Finish the afghan that I’ve been working on for 2 years now
     ~Play Farm Town

Don’t worry it has some serious stuff on there too… I am a mature adult you know ;)
     ~Blog
     ~Run/Workout
     ~Figure out what’s going on with my Garmin
     ~Go through emails

Ok, Ok… fine… I’ll also make doctors appointments, pay tuition, clean, do the laundry, and take care of insurance, but those aren’t my ideal way of spending my 12 days of pure bliss ;) lol

AND just because I’m so excited I’m finally on my summer break, as short as it may be, I want to give away a tube of Lemon-Lime NUUN!!  I’ve grown fond of this stuff!  I always feel like I’m a late bloomer when it comes to awesome workout/fitness stuff so of course everyone has already been downing this stuff by the gallon before I even tried it, but that’s ok!  If you haven’t tried it either, now’s your chance!  OR if you’ve been taking baths in NUUN, here’s one more tube that could be yours and help feed your addiction ;)

This giveaway will run August 17 through August 24th.  Winner will be randomly
selected and posted BY August 27th. If the winner does not contact me within 72 hours, a new winner will be selected.

Here’s how to enter (leave separate comments for each entry):

- Tell me why you want to try NUUN OR why you are already obsessed with it OR what your favorite flavor is

Three Things Thursday

1.  As you all know, I’m in school to be a sign language interpreter… Today was our last day of classes for the quarter (we still have finals next week) and some how we started discussing insurance.  I learned that you can insure your hands?!   Totally legit and I will be doing that as soon as I graduate!! ;)

2.  I’ve been watching as much of the Olympics as I possibly can, and yes I've been staying up til midnight! lol… whoops! ;)  I’m really enjoying the Track & Field events…  and I LOVED watching Oscar Pistorius … he is such an inspiration!  Have you been watching the Olympics?  If so, what is your favorite event/athlete?

pistorius-main


3. Extreme couponing anyone?  I got $57 worth of stuff for $7 at Bath and Body Works and Victoria Secret!!  I’ll let you all in on my extreme couponing secrets… sign up for mailings and sometimes you’ll get awesome coupons… VS has free underwear coupons a lot of times… and then bug your parents/parents-in-law to give you their coupons too!! ;) I know, I know… I’m a genius!! ;)
I had 4 VS coupons (2- $10 off and 2-free underwear) and 2 BBW coupons (2- free travel size product) What I got:
                                 ~2 pairs of underwear ($8.50 each)
                                 ~2 travel size bottles of lotion ($5 each)
                                 ~2 Victoria Secret lip glosses ($9 each)
                                 ~1 Bottle of Love Spell Body Spray ($12)

Do you have any experience with extreme couponing? 
Obviously I’m not a pro… I just got lucky! ;)
What’s the best deal you’ve ever gotten?

Wednesday Again…

At least I am keeping up with (almost) Wordless Wednesday posts once a week ;)

I had seen this picture earlier this week and thought I’d post it because it’s a great motivator and motivation is what I’ve been lacking lately…
