So I'd Like to Know Where You Got the Notion

Well school has been a steady part of the majority of our member's lives of late, so we do apologize for the lack of posts recently.  After a rather lengthy hiatus, we had a mini-TTWT this past weekend to celebrate a very special member's birthday :)  

Family & Fun (and for once no coupons!)

Alexander Skarsgard

But on a coupon related note, we got a lovely note from one of the volunteers at the Air Force Base thanking us for our coupon donations.  Always nice to feel appreciated (and to know that they get all the coupons we mail).

Some of our regular readers may remember us mentioning the new ABC Family show Babby Daddy.  Well if you've ever seen the show you'll probably recognize this handsome gentleman.

Derek Theler

And finally we leave you with a photo from the show that started it all - Melissa & Joey

P.S. The whole first season is on Netflix!

SEASON 2 PREMIERS MAY 30TH

A Not So Silent Night

Anyone who's ever been a part of a Time-Worthy Tuesday knows it's never a very quiet occasion.  Especially when we haven't seen each other in awhile and tonight was of course no exception :)  We clipped a lot of coupons and then decided it was time to watch a Christmas movie.  We watched so many last year, but just haven't had time this year.  It was finally decided that we should watch "The Christmas Card" - a cheesy and predictable movie, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.  Richard & Luke totally made the movie, their shenanigans made us chuckle while Faith's awkwardness made us grimace.  Seriously - who walks into a restaurant and starts eating food left on the table?

Luke in regards to Faith's engagement: "So I'm sure you've heard the news.... Richard is wearing black."


Well in light of the movie we watched, we just wanted to take a quick moment to remember those deployed - enjoy this lovely poem as a reminder of their sacrifices:

 

A Soldier Is A Gift

 

As we celebrate Christmas, and we open our gifts,
we realize what priceless gifts a soldier gives to our country—
the gifts of patriotism, service, and deep dedication to our nation.

 

As we feast on a variety of fine Christmas delicacies,
we acknowledge that a soldier personifies a variety of fine qualities:
courage, good character, honor, fortitude amidst hardship,
persistence in subduing evil, and bravery in the face of danger.

 

A soldier is a cut above the rest of us,
doing jobs we could not or would not do.
While we are surrounded by Christmas comforts,
we remember soldiers in places we would not want to be,
bringing the gift of adaptability to any situation,
no matter how harsh or difficult.

 

As we "ooh" and "aah" over the Christmas lights and shiny ornaments
we recognize that a soldier gives us the most cherished gift of all,
the shining light of freedom.

 

At Christmas, let us wrap our hearts and minds
around our treasured soldiers.
May they understand how very much their service means to us.
Let us send the Christmas gifts of love, respect and admiration
to our steadfast, loyal, magnificent warriors
and their essential civilian support staff.

 

They themselves are the most precious Christmas gift of all,
our protectors—our soldiers. by Joanna Fuchs   

 

Happy December Everyone!

We have unfortunately been remiss in answering our most recent poll question.  The crazy chicas of TTWT have sent just over $16,000 worth of coupons to our Air Force base in Germany!!  Thank you all for your help in our efforts to support our troops.  I'm sure some of you have by now noticed our new blog header - courtesy of our Christmas photo shoot.  We have 18 cards signed and ready to send to various soldiers wishing them a Very Merry Christmas. 

After the last Cat Fail video so many of you enjoyed, I thought we'd share another one.  Check out this little guy's dance moves:

Don't you wish you had his skills?

Well I hope you all have a wonderful 1st day of December - Zapatos!

America’s Finest

 

If someone has done military service,
They earn the title “veteran,” and more;
They earn our deep respect and admiration;
That they are special no one can ignore.

They sacrificed the comforts we enjoy;
The list is long of all the things they gave.
Our veterans are extraordinary people;
They’re loyal, dedicated, true and brave.

When terror and invasion were real threats,
They showed us they could handle any storm.
We owe our freedoms and our very lives
To our veterans, who served in uniform.

Our veterans should be celebrities;
They’re exceptional; no other group compares.
We’re grateful for the many things they’ve done;
They’re always in our hearts and in our prayers.

We owe our veterans support and friendship;
Let no one ever question what they’re worth.
These men and women served us and our country,
Our veterans–the very best on earth.
By Joanna Fuchs

 

Please remember our Veterans this Sunday, November 11th

 

 

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

 

 

A great big Thank You to all who have served -

from all of us here at TTWT

 

God Bless our Troops

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Thank you to all our men and women who have served over the years - GOD BLESS!

Unlearned Lesson
Memorial Day
Of every year
The little valiant
Flags appear
On every fallen
Soldier's grave--
Symbol of what
Each died to save.
And we who see
And still have breath--
Are we no wiser
For their death?

~Dorothy Brown Thompson~  

"The difference between the good guys and the bad guys
is whether they use human sheils, or make themselves
human shields."

The Air Mattress Dilema

We enjoy our TV Shows : )  The Big Bang Theory and New Girl were our picks of the night.  We were also clipping TONS of coupons.  So many coupons in fact that one of our members said "I've been cutting coupons so long that I almost giggle when I get one I don't have to cut!!"

We have a piece of news for you all that we think you will want to know about:

The 2012 Model Beach Volleyball Tournament

Model Agencies Battle for South Beach Supremacy

There are some great pictures from last year just so you know what you're in for : )  Unfortunately, they wouldn't let me put one on here...

Well you know we can't give you a post without a picture, so you here go:

hahahahahaha - yeah we cut that coupon out : )

Now that's a little better : )

It's Christmas Time in the City

The Reason We Celebrate:
"And God sent us Salvation, that Blessed Christmas 'Morn!"

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN, OVER THE HILLS AND EVERYWHERE, GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN, THAT JESUS CHRIST IS BORN!

Don't you just love that song?  You get your hands clappin' and you start swaying... hahaha maybe that's just us J but it is a great song...

 Well, no Christmas season is complete until you have watched  "White Christmas" - so since there are only 5 days left we figured we had better get to it!  We are delighted that our dear physician can be here with us tonight - it has been much too long!  And don't forget - "never mix buttermilk and liverwurst"!!!

Our Favorite Quotes:

Phil: How can a guy that ugly have the nerve to have sisters?
Bob: Very brave parents.

Phil: In some ways, you're far superior to my cocker spaniel.

Phil: Probably just a small internal muscular hemorrhage.
Gen. Waverly: I got along just fine without you in the Army.
Emma (housekeeper): Yeah. It only took 15,000 men to take my place.

Merry Christmas to All....

from the Crazy Chicas at "Totally Time-Worthy Tuesdays"

**Don't forget to vote for your favorite Christmas song!

NEWS FLASH:  Our last coupon donation for the year was mailed on Saturday and our 2011 coupon total was.... *Drum Roll Please* 

Over $7,000!!!!  So despite the groans when a bag of coupons arrives for TTWT, we know it was all worth it J

PRETZELS!

It’s been a long time since we last updated you all on our life – and other than a fantastic vacation we’ve just been catching up on M&J and clipping TONS of coupons!  Not sure how they pile up the way they do…. So we’re eating pretzels and cheese while catching up J

What state starts with Y?  Wyoming!!

What did the fish say when he ran into the wall?  DAM!

SHE’S NOT MY BOSS!  I’M FREELANCE!!  I wonder how many times Joey has said that in the show's  history?  Because he definitely said it a few times tonight.  And Mel's assistant Stephanie is definitely  growing on us J 

 She has a great sense of humor and she has the greatest lines.  Oh and seriously, Mel has FANTASTIC hair in every episode – it’s so unfair….  I guess that's a product of not having to do your own hair.  Maybe she's just born with great, easy to style hair - I've known people like that....

Some life advice from tonight's episodes:  When buying a fake ID, never try the baked goods.  They might have something special.  

Ready Ready Ready Ready to Run

Hello our dear followers!
Tonight was the first night of summer!  We started out our evening by taking on the local crossword, "seven out of fifty-eight correct!"  After the beastly crossword, we took a brief swim in the pool with "bo bo" the clown and our flotation devices, or lack thereof.  All the while singing and making whirl pools.  After freezing our butts off and spending some good quality time with our dear physician, we retired for a favorite chick flick. 

"Runaway Bride"!

 

Oh how we enjoyed the rantings of the old, but attractive, Richard Gere, the ever beautiful Julia Roberts and her crazy grandmother!

"Netta, cover your ears"

"I like his tight butt”
"Grandma"!
"Well I do"

All the while getting ready to mail coupons to the soldiers and preparing for next week's Melissa and Joey Season premiere!  So get ready readers next week is gonna be FANCRAPPINTASTIC!

Zapatos!

Driving to Cape Horn....

We have been inspired.  One of us will build a GTO, one of us will get the tunes and DJ, one of us will be the navigator and one of us will drive.  So yeah, that's the plan - DRIVE TO CAPE HORN - ROAD TRIP!!  Yeah if anyone can guess what movie we just watched based off that description you win Publisher's Clearinghouse!!

So advice for the day: Never stick a genius in your trunk - he'll rat you out every time!

If any of us are ever questioned by the FBI we'll never be able to go with them anywhere....  Always run, never get in their car & don't believe them when they say they'll take you somewhere safe & secure.  They don't mean it.

So in the course of the evening we learned some other valuable lessons: if your apartment door doesn't have a dead bolt, get a concealed weapons permit (nah, just open the door with a pistol!).  Also, once you've seen the inside of the honeycomb you can't go home.  *We learned that from the genius they stuck in the trunk.

Now a certain someone just admitted that Tom Cruise doesn't really rank up there with Sylvester Stallone, Russel Crowe, Rambo or even Buzz Light Year!!  Apparently he's a wienie.... Oh wait, Woody's the wienie...

Our last piece of advice for the night: If you ever hold up a restaurant hand out pie. I hear the sugar helps the shock & trauma for the victims. *Sorry, I thought you were making a move.  Pies, pies for everyone!

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!  The coupons we clipped weighed quite a bit, but I'm sure those in Germany will appreciate them.

Good night one & all, and to all a good night.
