Whatever Thursday

Does anyone else feel like the days fly by and weeks drag on? That's what I am feeling right now. I can't believe it's already October and the holidays are right around the corner.

Since it is fall, that means tv shows are returning!!! I am so excited and feeling a bit overwhelmed at the same time. I've mentioned this before, but we only get two channels - ABC and CBS. While we have been able to live without cable and the other basic channels for a year now, there is so much available online that I can watch on demand. I also appreciate that we are on the East Coast time schedule which should mean I can watch most things live, but with our erratic sleeping patterns the past few months I rarely watch anything live.

Here is my tv fall line up.

Sundays

Mondays

I'm glad they decided to return to the one night show this season. I don't have a favorite yet, but I really like Val and Janel.

Blacklist 

Tuesdays

Chicago Fire

Wednesday

If you haven't checked this show out, you should. I picked it up mid season last year and I'm so glad that is was renewed. 

Law and Order: SVU

Thursday

 Parenthood

 Friday

I haven't picked up any new shows this season, because well I don't know what's out there plus this should keep my busy trying to keep up with all these shows. 

How many of you have downloaded the Target Cartwheel app? I've had it for several months now and use it frequently. I'm curious to know from those that also use it, do you buy things you normally wouldn't because you are getting an extra discount? I've been pretty good about only using it for things that I would normally purchase. I've saved around $20 with the app over the past 6 months or so. That in addition to the red card makes me feel like I'm getting a good deal, especially when things are already on sale. I tend to think that some things are definitely cheaper than Walmart. 

Speaking of Walmart, their response is the savings catcher app. I've been to Walmart more times that I can count in the last week (mainly for our MOPS group) and decided to download the app. In all of my trips I only saved $.79. Don't get me wrong, savings is savings, but.... The thing with the Walmart app, is that the discount isn't deducted right away. You can redeem it for a gift card I think. I don't know how long you have to redeem it, but I have a feeling that I will forget and lose my $.79. I know that Walmart's prices are generally cheaper, but I can also appreciate the fact that since they don't normally have sales this makes them more competitive and in the end I win, sort of. 

Who is excited that Monopoly is back at McD's?? Anybody, anybody? Well I am. I have been avoiding McDonalds this pregnancy for some reason. I think I had a bad food experience, so I haven't wanted to go back. BUT I may have to force myself to this month. :) 

And last but not least, a huge shout out to the ROYALS for that epic wildcard game. While the Royals are not my first team, it was fun to watch with Royals fans and have them break a 29 year drought of not reaching the playoffs. It's also exciting the Royals are playing in Anaheim the next two games. David and Yohan are going to the game tomorrow. Charlotte and I weren't invited. I guess we will watch from the comfort of our house. Actually, let's be real, it's going to be back up near 100 degrees this weekend so our house will be HOT and not comfortable.
