Free stuff:

• Nescafe Dolce sent the box of Cappucino Ice pods I had won through Twitter.
• Steri-Bottles came from my win on Akron Ohio Moms
• Aveeno Sample
• Disney Cars Instant Win Game code for the Amazon GC came in my email
• Beauty Blitz sent me a box of 3 nail polishes from Julep that I won in their July daily giveaway

Healthy stuff:

• changed to peanut butter without hydrogenated oil and threw the old stuff away
• purchased decent bread without high fructose corn syrup or other junk
• chose to get some almonds (with dark chocolate) as a snack instead of chips
• traded the salad dressing full of soybean oil for one without junk - the taste difference on this particular item was "WOW"
• got some laundry soap free of dyes, ink, and perfumes - I'm pretty sure the other bottle is what gave me hives
• exchanged plain Greek yogurt for the regular sugar-filled brand & bought honey to mix with it

Life stuff:

• painted my nails with that new polish today - hadn't done that in about 8 years
• remembered to call in a prescription refill
• saw the youngest child breeze in and breeze out long enough to grab clean clothes - the dogs were sad when he didn't pay much attention to them...particularly Ruger
• temperature here remains extraordinarily high
• Charlie fixed my leaky faucet - finally :)
• reading Towers of Midnight in preparation for the final book in the series coming out this fall - I may do one more re-read of the series after that and then I think I'll put them up for good.
