The Queen Apologizes for her Insolence

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

October 22, 2008 By Cherie Lowe


So it’s been a day and a half since I last posted.  Most of my day yesterday was sucked up dealing with a hacker that had landed about $950 in charges on my PayPal account.  Thus far, I’ve gotten $475 taken off (and nothing has actually been taken from my bank account yet).  I’m not sure exactly what happened as I NEVER use my PayPal account (last maybe sometime in 2007?) but I’ve changed all of my passwords, gotten a new debit/Mastercard even though that information wasn’t compromised – better safe than sorry!  

Plus, the youngest princess has been SUPER fussy (she tends to be fussy anyway) lately with her teeth.  It’s been a month of misery in the Queendom.  🙁  I’m thinking about setting up a consult with a dentist to see if they can pull them through the gums.  I can see them.  It’s CRAZY.  Poor thing.  
All of that to say, you haven’t missed much . . . there haven’t been too many new freebies out there in the blogsphere.  And by the way, do not be alarmed by my PayPal experience as it has nothing to do with my freebie addiction.  I only pass VERY safe sites on to you.  In fact you might miss out on a few things that I do get just because I want to be sure that you’re not getting something wacky.  🙂
Since I owe you big posting-wise, here are some places where you can get a free dessert on your birthday: Buca di Beppo (sign up for the eClub here), Applebees (no sign up necessary), Maggianos (sign up here), Free Mile High Mud Pie @ The Ram (sign up here), Ruby Tuesday (sign up here), and Buffalo Wild Wings (sign up here).  
A few words of wisdom on these.  A) Don’t sign up for all of them unless you plan on really going.  B) Only get your free item (otherwise it’s a waste of your money!).  C) Check and see if you can use it carryout to resist temptation.  D) Check @ your favorite restaurant to see if they do something special on birthdays.  
Happy Free Dessert and Day #3 of my Week Long Celebration.  Tonight, I’m getting my hair cut @ Bella Naturale, THE best Aveda Spa in the Queendom and an official Royal Location.  WOOHOO.  10 inches off and donated to Locks of Love AND I’m using a $5 off $5 @ McAlister’s for my birthday (sign up here).   I’m sure that will get me some of my favorite iced tea and maybe some soup.  YUM.
