The best things in life are F-R-E-E

I don't know what it is about stuff that's free but they are always better.

I just love a good deal especially when it's FREE.

Yesterday, we had employee appreciation days at Cherry Hill.

So, we got in FREE, got a FREE dinner, and on our way out there was a stand for Stride gum that was giving away FREE samples.

All they asked at the stand was that you take a handful and keep moving.

So, we took multiple handfuls and walked away and then back for more.

Danielle said...: Is there like a free item club that I never signed up for because- seriously- I'm on the wrong freaking train...... and I'm so jealous that you got free stride gum. I just feel good if the idiots at sonic remember to put the cherry in my cherry lime-aid THAT I PAID FOR.

You have a good life Janessa.; July 18, 2008 at 11:26 PM

2/17/11 Jayben was put on the naughty chair. And while serving his time he was humming the theme to Jeopardy. It was hilarious. But he still had to finish his time.
10/10/10 Jayben said "mom, we don't know what language Lincoln is going to speak, it might be English or Spanish. I bet he's going to speak Spanish!"
10/3/10 While watching General Conference on Sunday Jayben asked "What do you have to do to become the phrophet?" I explained to him that he needed to be really good and listen. Later that day I asked him if he still wanted to be the prophet and he said he changed his mind and decided he wanted to be a monster truck driver instead.
9/13/09 Jayben "I'm going to go blind in a few days because my eyes are so dry. You will have to spit in my eyes like Jesus did to heal the blind!"
9/13/09 Jayben "Brontasaurus are nice, I love them. I'm sad they are extinct!"

8/26/09 Jayben wanted a drink at bedtime I told him I would get him one and he said "But you won't get the EXACT cup I want."
8/11/09 we were playing a rhyming game and the word was walk. I said chalk and Jayben said, "I know like chocolate milk."
8/9/09 Jayben asked "Mom, what's wrong with your belly button?"
7/9/09 while making jam and trying to figure out how many cups are in a pint, Ben touches each of my bum cheeks and tells me I have a pint on each of them.
7/6/09 I had been discussing swimming lessons with Jayben and later he was telling Ben about them. "Dad, Jane teaches kids to swim without life jackets, floaties and swimsuits!"
6/14/09 Ben gave Jayben a drink and told him what flavor it was. Jayben said, "I knew it was Hawaiian punch, my taste BUGS told me!"
6/12/09 Jayben asked us to turn up the radio so he could hear the song and then said, "this song is pumping me up!"
6/1/09 Jayben was on the naughty chair and Ben was telling him that it was too late and he still had to sit on it. Jayben without hesitation starts singing 'It's too late to apologize, it's too late!"
5/30/09 after hitting his friend I asked Jayben why he did it and he said "Because, I told her to enjoy the movie, and she did not enjoy it."
As we are leaving the soccer game Ben asks Jayben "what's daddy got?" He yells "DIArrhea!" Not quite the answer we were looking for but close.
11/19/08 Jayben said "I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out of batteries."
