Royal Update: What’s Going on in the Queendom

Good morning Lords and Ladies.  I thought I’d give you a few updates of what’s going on in our world this week:

• Last night, we went to Chick-fil-a in Greenwood Park Mall and had free Chicken Strips!  I had 2 coupons for free Waffle Fries and 1 free Kids Ice Dream, so we had 4 strips, 2 orders of Fries, ice water, and ice cream for the Eldest Princess.  The Eldest Princess also made all sorts of Cow Costuming for Friday’s Cow Appreciation Day.  We have 3 cow masks, a cow handkerchief, a Eat More Chikin sandwich board, and a cow nose and hooves to cut out and tape on for Friday’s big event.  You have to be head to toe (or should it be hoof?) for a free combo but I think we have enough to get her a free kids’ meal and us at least a free entree.  AND the cow was there last night to hug and wave at the girls so we got a little entertainment with our free dinner.  Today at the Greenwood Park Mall and 135 locations, it’s Receipt Day.  Keep your receipt and return within the next 30 days for the same purchase for free.  Pretty cool.  As always, check for specific stipulations at the store.

• Don’t forget about the Pillsbury Giveaway going on right now on Queen of Free.  There are two prize packs, including your very own Pillsbury Doughboy (he is SUPER cute and giggles) and a prize winning recipe book.  Right now, I have two entrants.  They don’t want you to enter because they have a lock on the competition.  Comments close on Friday at 9:30 AM.

• I have 24 days of the 30 Day Shred under my belt.  I’ve taken 3 days off in the last 27 (one because I was too tired and two due to illness) but am now staring down my last 6 days.  Hooray! And I’ve counted and 10 of you have started doing the Shred since I began this journey.  Good for you!  You are rock stars and on your way to being totally shredded.  The price has dropped on Amazon.com to $7.49 in case you haven’t ordered your copy yet!

• I’m counting down the days until a short get away with the King next week to an undisclosed location to celebrate our 10th anniversary.  It’s driving me crazy but I know it will be a great time.  My posts next week will probably be a little more minimalistic (Wednesday-Friday) since I don’t know where I’ll be!

• I have another newspaper interview coming up soon.  On Thursday, I get the chance to hang out with Ryan Trares again, my good friend from the Daily Journal.  I’ll keep you posted as to when the article will actually drop.  I have made him promise to take a more flattering picture for the paper this time.  Yay!
