That Time of the Month!

Tomorrow is the first of October.  If my memory serves me right, that means I should be getting my second largest batch of emails sometime while I sleep (if I get to bed at a reasonable hour).  I started making a list of restaurant email offers I am missing, and I have quite a few still on that list...

RaceTrac, QT, Steak'N'Shake, Hooters, Benihana, Brio, Dairy Queen, Lenny's Subs, CVS, Movie Tavern, Pampas Steakhouse, Backyard Burger, Chipotle, Cap'n D's, Frontera, Zaxbys, Zoe's Kitchen, Red Robin, DSW, Waffle House, Yogurt Mountain

I am getting emails from other places I don't remember now but signed up for at some point, so there may be even more than this list I am waiting on, haha!!

Corner Bakery Cafe

One more email today : free Bakery Fresh Sweet!

Meet The Crew! Part 1 : JennMarie

JennMarie and I met a few years ago on the set of Teen Wolf (MTV series) working as extras.  JennMarie is presently seeking a degree in legal studies.

Why do like going on the Birthday Trek?
"This is fun for me.  I truly enjoy the celebration.  Since I cannot afford the elaborate birthday material items I think you deserve, spending time with you helping you do something that means a lot to you is fulfilling - almost in a selfish way.  It makes me happy and we have so much fun doing it. Starting so early and ending so late is extreme but its amazing to see how many others are so giving.
This year I am going about it as a game. My mother was the greatest birthday planner for my family. She made sure we had wonderful fun games to play at our birthday parties. She created many. So your birthday is a celebration of so many things to me. Celebrate the gift of giving. Celebrate the memories of my childhood. Celebrate the games we forget to make of life while being a grown up. And to celebrate my friend for his greatness and the great life he celebrates with others."

Monthly Freebies

Added on the free truffle I get from Godiva Chocolatier ever month for being a 'member'.
Also my ChickFilA freebie from my 'cowlander' was added.  October is a free brownie!

Whatever Shall I Order...?

Unsure of what I will be in the mood for, I can go online and print out a menu listing my options ahead of time!  Luckily at Houlihan's everything on the lunch entree menu is under $15!  I won't be able to get more Almond Encrusted Tilapia (because it's only a dinner menu item), but there are other great options to choose from!

Contact Info On The Go

For each restaurant coupon that has call ahead ordering (mostly non-fast food locations) I wrote down the info for each possible location.  That way
1. we can order before we arrive so all we have to do is walk in, grab it and walk out.
2. if we miss a location for some reason, we already have the info for the next option ready to go.  No time lost searching the internet by phone or Wifi somewhere.
Each folder is separated with two stacks in two locations.  Shown here is Northpoint Parkway on the left and Windward/John's Creek on the right.  Any coupon that is not a full-page gets put into an envelope and placed in front of all the other coupons so we don't forget about them as we go.
