Isn’t that so cool?!!!! Heard from Jenny at BlogHer.com the other day and they were looking for 50 BlogHers to participate. The event will take place on Thursday, July 23rd from 9am to 3pm. They even provide the chow for the day and the bloggers will get to try out a variety of Ford vehicles on some fun, but challenging driving courses. Dude! I so want to ride-and-drive a Ford!
Here’s more details…

Hope everyone had a terrific, relaxing, long holiday weekend! We sure did!
Tomorrow is back to the grind of getting up early for school and the crazy busyness of life and it’s late and I’m tired but wanted to post a picture from this weekend of me and my oldest son, Tony, at his UMASS Amherst college graduation. Holy shit, did I just say college graduation?! Where has the time gone…
I’m SO proud of this guy. He has received a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Latin. Congrats again Anthony David Schmitt. I LOVE YOU.
The college grad and his mama

I love to shop. I’m a bargain shopper, always looking for the next best deal. I found that deal, and boy what a deal it is and it is happening right now as I type this.
Everybody loves Macy’s. You will love them even more when you see the price tags this week, but hurry, the sale ends Monday, May 25th. I spent over two hours just in the women’s clothing department, and do you want to know a little secret? If you have a Macy’s credit card, you will save an additional 10% off your total. Every penny counts!
I’d like to share with you my Macy’s Memorial Day sale experience. As I said, I love to shop for bargains, and with this Macy’s sale, I struck gold!
