Waaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooooo! I LOVE good weather!!
Some very good news is that there is superior talent here in Utah. We went to see The Phantom last night at the Hale Theater in SLC. The talent was over the top! I mean, I am a Kristen Chenoweth fan to the Nth degree, so I know good vocals when I hear 'em (sounds uppity, but it is true), and may I just say that the voices last night were absolutely on par with anything I have ever heard on Broadway... or in London, for that matter! From the moment those actors started singing, I was in awe.
There is really no way to let the written word do justice to the performance. It was WONDERFUL!!! So glad I went. Thanks Mom and Dad!!

POPCORN
First of all - there has been many a note-worthy piece of "good news" floating around as of late, but I have not felt the "writing" bug, so I haven't posted any of it. Go figure...
BUT, today's good news is that day-old popcorn is still just as delicious as when it was fresh, and is even BETTER (texture-wise) !! Who knew??
The other piece of good news is that I went to Wal-mart last night, and ended up coming out with NOTHING! Reason being, I have absolutely NO room in my freezer (either one) for anything at all! I saw some really good coupon deals, but I couldn't do them. I mean, it is bad news for my addiction, but good news for my brain. It definitely means that when the kids say "There isn't anything to eat here!" I can just roll my eyes and not feel guilty.
Guilt-free is ALWAYS good news!

Generic!
Wahoo! Best news in a LONG time is that Adderall now comes in generic form. I was going to fill a 30 day RX yesterday, and was planning on paying $457, when the pharm tech said to me "Would you like generic? It will cost $34." I did a major happy dance and sang "YEEEEEEEEEES!!"
Being frugal is hard work - but it is infinitely more simple when I am able to keep my mind on the task at hand! I worked on coupons yesterday for about 3 hours, then went to Wally's and spent $37 on a $172-before-coupons bill. WOOTY WOOT!!!

Soundness
Well, Obama says that despite the mess we are in economically, the fundamentals are sound. That is good news, and I have to agree with him. 'Course fundamentals for me end up being coupons, Walgreens, Albertsons, and Target.
Yesterday two of my sound fundamentals (coupons and Wags) helped me get 10 bottles of Garnier Fructis hair product, 5 Gillette Fusion "Gamer"razors, 3 Gillette dandruff shampoos, 4 Hershey's chocolate bars, 8 12-packs of Coke products all for $25.
Another one helped me get 12 bags of Oreos, 10 boxes of Nabisco Cakesters, 10 boxes of wheat thins/triscuits, 4 bricks of cheese, 9 Crystal Lights (dry mix with 6 2-quart tubs in each), 20 boxes of General Mills cereal, and 2 boxes of Bagelfuls for $30.
Ya, ya, ya... I know it is a LOT of carbs, but sheesh, the healthy stuff costs much more! If I play my cards right, buying the "fun stuff" pays for the "healthy stuff" - catalinas are awesome! :O)

Youtube
Ahhhh... Youtube is just plain old WONDERFUL news! I love music, and to be able to hear it anytime I want/need to, is... well, perfect. I've got Eva Cassidy playing as I write. She and Nora are two of my all-time favs when it comes to female singers.
The good news is that we can sing anywhere, any time, for any reason! Freedom of voice.

Taxes..
Taxes are good news... aren't they? Ok, they are no fun to pay, but they are sure fun to get back! WOOT WOOT! My kids are actually getting money back this year, and that is GOOD NEWS to me - it just means that they will ask me for that much LESS money! LOL
In this economy, paying taxes ended up being a darn good savings plan. We didn't lose a thing by letting the government keep our money for a few months... had we invested it in the stock market it would be gone. Yahoo for Big Brother!! :o)
