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!)

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.

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

The Long Goodbye...

One of our dearest, and most faithful members will soon be leaving us, heading off to college in a nearby state.  Although we are most saddened by this coming event, we know it is a part of life.  We were able to have one last TTWT and enjoy some of our most favorite past-times.  Some Country Rock Band and Just Dance were enjoyed, along with 2 of our favorite shows.

On the Common Law docket was episode 10 in which Travis & Wes get visits from their respective mentors.  It was quite entertaining to learn where they each learned their "method" of police work from.  They both want to respect their mentors, but they're really just getting in the way of their investigation.  Also, despite the combined years of high school and college Spanish between us all, we couldn't figure out what "El Ingeniero" meant, and why they would call a drug-lord legend such a name.  So after a speedy Google search we realized it means "engineer".  Tricky, but still doesn't make total sense...it would fit better if it meant "ingenious" or something. Well as you can see - both Wes & Travis truly take after their mentors (whether they'd admit it or not).  Feel free to comment on all the similarities in this photo....

Can you guess what our episode of Melissa & Joey was about from this picture?

If you guessed Lennox learning how to drive, then you would be absolutely correct.  Lots of great moments - Mel told Joe that he is her "co-parent person" which was super cute and then she followed that up with a totally awkward (but funny) comment.  We don't want to spoil it for you, so we'll just let you watch the episode and see for yourself.  We also found this super cute picture on the M&J Facebook page:

Doesn't it just make you smile?  Go ahead, make it your desktop background, we won't tell : )

She Could Use a Good Concussion

What a wonderful TTWT we enjoyed!  We made Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes, but we’ll devote another post to that later J  After the delicious pancakes, we settled into our regular routine (a.k.a. Clipping Coupons & watching TV).  We watched a Melissa & Joey episode, which was quite entertaining.   Lars and Vincienzo sounded quite interesting J  Plus, Mel & Joe are still dancing around possible feelings for each other – so we continue to watch & wait.  We especially enjoyed the season finale of Fairly Legal.  I must say the writers of that show have done a wonderful job on Ben Grogan’s character.  Every one of us HATED him when he first came on the show and were so mad they made him a permanent character.  Then as you know (if you’ve been following our blog) we ended up divided as to which man Kate should be with (Justin or Ben, Justin or Ben, Justin or Ben?).  Did Ben really deserve her; he’s not exactly a great guy and doesn’t have the best track record.  But on the other hand, Justin already had his shot… But now, at long last, they have changed our minds; and we could not be happier about the possibilities they left us with this season!  What a perfect ending to a season.  Other than some shady decisions by Lauren, they didn’t really leave us hanging – just excited about what could happen next season.
