I really missed the CVS/Walgreens column-- if you ever wonder if anyone *really* cares about what you do, know that at least one mama was at sea this week without it! :-) Glad you’re back and everyone is on the mend.

Folks around here have been getting that bug for the last few weeks and I think everyone is finally getting back their health. One way we get our stomachs "back in order" after a stomach virus is by drinking kefir smoothies. I posted a recipe and an informational link on my blog : http://chaoticpeace.wordpress.com/2009/01/11/pineapple-banana-kefir-smoothie/ This is also great for all kinds of seasons in your life...I'll pray that the rest of you stay healthy!

It sounds like one trial after another, and I applaud your fortitude... Hope your daughter is feeling better! Thanks for all the great tips, and a great site. :) PS I'd love to hear about your favorite films at the festival! I didn't even know there was an independent Christian film festival... sounds exciting!

(door knobs, countertops,tubs , tiolets ,faucets and toothbrushes !) i also read that people with type B and AB blood have some natural immunity to it which was interesting. :) be well and thanks for all your work ! im sorry your little one got sick! we had this in early december along with most of our church and it ripped through almost all of us. it seems like its just everywhere right now.

I'm a lazy couponer that had fallen off the wagon and, as part of my New Year's New Attitude, have re-focused my couponing and money saving efforts. In that past I relied almost solely on YOUR CVS/Walgreens scenarios to do my coupon shopping each week. I've surfed around to other blogs, but yours is the most straightforward...causing my numerically challenged brain to have to work less! lol I don't know if I could do this without you. Welcome back!

By the time we landed back in Baltimore, I was covered and sick myself. That was the worse trip ever, but the people on the plane were very nice and helped me with bags and napkins. I am glad to hear that you are back, and that you had a wonderful time.
