Even with the accidental stuff... I went to CVS tonight for "The Drugstore Game," and bought the CVS brand toothbrush on accident instead of the one that would end up being free (it was in the wrong spot and they look exactly the same). But the cashier showed me this machine that spits out coupons, and one was for $3 off any CVS brand purchases of $10 or more. The $2.99 toothbrush put me over the $10 limit, so I guess it ended up being free after all! I love money surprises... Good job, guys! Even with the accidental stuff…

Of course, I decided that at 9:00 last night and haven't gotten everything figured out yet. Hopefully the site will be fixed later tonight... Considering I can't even write a new post without everything freezing up :) Well, I got carried away working on my other website and decided to switch this over to self-hosting.
