The bridge didn’t collapse!

by ~kat on Sep.30, 2008, under coupons, family, money savings, weather

I did it, I’m so proud of myself!  I crossed the bridge and it didn’t collapse. haha!  Inside joke for anyone who lives in Door County.  Most of us rarely cross the bridge, but I did today!

Was a long journey that started off slow and on the wrong foot.  Got almost to town and yikes, I realized I forgot my CVS card.  Go figure right?  I also forgot I had a backup card in my wallet.  Go figure again!  So I drop 10 miles BACK to my house to get my card.

Then I got to the bridge to find it up, yes up!  Why is it whenever I do decide to go across it, some fool decides he needs to take his back ass sailboat under it.  Mind you it’s like 50 degrees IF that on land, I can’t imagine what it was out on open water.  People, 99% of them are nutcases.

So anyways, I finally made it to Green Bay.  Store 1 Walgreens!  Rude people I swear totally rude.  Cashier didn’t smile didn’t acknowledge me at the register.  I swear between our local walgreens and the ones in GB today … it must be a prerequisite to be rude and not smile.  They all want to argue about what coupons I could use and what I couldn’t … see this is when those corp emails come in REAL handy.  Fun fun to teach a manager his own job.

Then off to my second walgreens, little easier, little friendlier by about .05%.  Got my things and practically ran out of the store.  This store though wanted to argue about a KY Intrigue $5 printed coupon.  Telling me it’s not possible to use the store coupon (it was $5 off) and then my manf coupon (another $5 off) for a total of $10 off a $19.99 product.  Uhm YEAH you can! Sheesh greedy little turds.

Then off to my third walgreens, yes third, I too am a tidbit insane.  Got my things again ran out of the store, ofcourse, after a 20 minute disagreement about how to use coupons AGAIN.  This time I lost.  Couldn’t buy 2 P&G products and use a $8 register reward from P&G and then two more $2 off coupons for only 3 products.  If I’d have bought another P&G the coupons would have all gone through.  Eh learning lesson, won’t be doing that again!

That’s it for now it’s 10:46 CST time and I’m cold and ready for bed!  Tomorrow I’ll share the rest of my adventure … tick tock!

July 4th Sunset at the Sturgeon Bay Bridge

by ~kat on Jul.05, 2008, under just cause

We have a bridge here in Sturgeon Bay that is going to be a historical site here soon. As the county has been putting up a new bridge. Guess the old one was not passing code and needed a total overhaul. So thought it would be nice to catch another pic or two before it is closed.
