Before I get started, I have to post this oh-so-fabulous email that I received yesterday from Rachel. I love it when I'm able to help someone get a FABULOUS deal (there I go using 'fabulous' over and over) ... oh and I get giddy when someone says I that 'freakin' ROCK' ...
Okay, so I just bought mine (GPS deal from yesterday), blogged about it and am probably going to buy my dad one too. AND, the tech-guy friend of mine who has this and paid $1000 for it last year, is on the phone with Amazon
right now buying two more as gifts. You freakin' ROCK, Melody!!!! I'm glad I know you.

Rachel, you go with your GPS deal self! And I'm glad I know you, too. The blogsphere is a fabulous thing! ;-) If anyone else is interested in that discount, just go HERE and scroll down to the bottom of the post...there are 2 deals listed. Hopefully, they're still marked at that low price.
Now, on with the FOOOOOOOOD!
I got this meal from Allrecipes.com - one of my fave places to recipe shop. I puffy heart anything with sausage...bulk sausage, Italian sausage, kielbasa. Mmmm! Haven't tried this one before, but it sounds SO great and looks super easy. Can't wait for the yummy smell to fill my house...
INGREDIENTS
1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
3 cups water
1 carrot, chopped
2 pounds kielbasa (Polish) sausage, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 stalk celery, chopped
DIRECTIONS
-Rinse and drain lentils, but do not soak. In a slow cooker, stir together the lentils, tomatoes, broth, water, carrot, sausage, and celery.
-Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours, or Low for 6 to 7 hours. Stir well before serving.

I love the restaurant gift certificates! That works really well for xmas presents!! Thanks!
Girl, you know you freakin' rock!! :)
Also, my hubby freakin' rocks! He keeps calling to check in on our Little Lady (has a stomach bug- yucky) and it's really sweet. (*Heart melting!*)
Hope you're having a great day!
I love the Wii accessories but know of any good deals on the Wii console?
Woohoo! That recipe looks DELISH!!
My LIFE freakin' rocks!! I am pretty much doing exactly what I wanted to be doing at this point of my life. As a little girl, I always imagined getting married young, being a SAHM, and having a home to take care of. Whoot! Whoot!
I was also going to put "my life" under your last post, for "what surprises me most." IT is surprising to me how different things are than I thought that they would be. Marriage is lovely, but WAAAY different than I imagined when I would dream and giggle over what my future husband would be like. It turns out that he leaves dirty socks around the house, and I have to scrub the toilet that he uses! Also, being a Mom is a lot harder then I thought that it would be. But also, much more rewarding and enjoyable!
So anywhoo, my surprising, ordinary life FREAKIN' ROCKS!! :)
Thank you for visiting my blog!
What freakin' ROCKS? My husband!!!!!!! He is so amazing!
I would have to say my hubby rocks as well, he is an awesome hubby and daddy...working and going to college full time. Gotta love him!
Love lentils, I make them all the time and I am definitely trying this recipe. Thanks :)
My new baby girl freakin' rocks.. she sleeps thru the night, eats like a champ and smiles all the time... oh, and you freakin' rock too!!!! I wanna Wii soo bad, worse than my 9 year old son!!!
I bought some lentils and they've been sitting patiently in the pantry. I am going to make this tomorrow. Yum-thanks for sharing it. :)
I'm going to have to check out that restaurant website--I need stocking stuffers! Hope your day is going great!
What freakin' rocks? - The fact that I am leaving on a cruise in less than 10 days!!!
YUM, that looks good.
You!!

Well on thing that rocks is ... YOU!
Thanks for finding that brown shower curtain. I wasn't even expecting that! I really like that one and may buy it. You Rock for finding that curtain!!
You do rock - The purpe dyson!! I have wanted that since it came out.
I love lentils will try this out.
What freakin' rocks?
Excellent question. I guess my lame answer these days would be:
Sleep!
I remember when much cooler things rocked. Long drives in my sports car, late nights talking on the phone to my boyfriend (now hubby!) and chill time for myself.
Yes, I have vague memories of those days but being a mom freakin' rocks too!!
Christmas Shopping FREAKIN ROCKS!
And deals do, too! Thanks for the coupon code for Restaurants.com- w00t! $4 isn't bad for a $25 gift certificate! :D Yay for you- one of my new fave blogs!
You are super savvy. And of course you ROCK!
Can I just send you a list of the things my kids want for Christmas and you do the shopping for me? lol
Do I need to say it?? Of course you rock. You know who else rocks? My 5th grade daughters teacher. She is the best.
Seeing the Wii deals makes me think I should probably go buy a Wii now before they are all out of them come Christmas time.
What totally rocks is that my weekend just started! 2 days off in a row!
My hubby freakin rocks as well. He just told me yesterday that I get an early Christmas present in a few weeks for being so great. (Ah! So sweet. But it is SO true :) I CANNOT wait to find out what it is!!
And duh, you and your penny pinching blog also freakin rock!
You are great - look at all those deals you found. (I'm especially impressed by the special request finds!) The recipe looks great too!
Seriously, YOU rock! I've saved so much money since I found you. Or actually, my girlfriend emailed me your link. So she rocks, too! hehe
I scored on the restaurant deal also. Thanks so much!
Ooooh, that recipe freaking rocks. Okay that and an iPhone freaking rock. Okay those and YOU - OF COURSE. :)
awww! *sigh* I miss my crockpot. They don't sell them here, so so very sad...
Thanks for the heads up on the Dyson! I want one so badly!
What freakin' rocks right now...Hershey pumpkin spice kisses! I just discovered them at Target today...I'll be blogging about it soon! :)
What freakin' rocks (besides you, of course) is the fact that all your commenters are using the term 'freakin' rocks'.
