what is going on?! watering down...... of toilet paper?
i've never ever look at the total length of tissue rolls before, it's just too complex and too much numbers usually!
what happened was---
i was about to buy the 16 big rolls = 32 regular rolls from CVS for $10, since it was on sale. just as i was planning to head to CVS, I see a Kmart ad for the exact same item size for $8.99. what the heck, i went to Kmart.
then i saw target's new ad for this week target has the 18 big rolls = 36 regular rolls for $8.99. i was there and just picked it up, figure it's cheap and might as well stock up.
i'm not sure if most of you know this, but the Charmin ULTRASTRONG has two versions. one is the big diamond print and one is small diamond print within squigly lines. in the past, i only buy the smaller more expensive packs and it's always the big diamond print. it's thick and strong. once a while back, i bought a huge 'special' pack at a discount and it was the latter. feels completely different and it's thinner.
the pack from kmart and target is the smaller diamond print (not the one i like.) but superman says 'whatever'- it'll do since its such a good deal... (i have my pet peeves)
im already disappointed in that it's the small print thinner version, but as i was stowing the packs away, for some reason 'this time' i took the time to look at the bottom #s info. perhaps i was contemplateing returning them just because of the print!! =/ the 16 big roll pack fr kmart has 4 more sq ft than the 18 big roll pack from target. i thought i'd mistaken. i double checked. ok, the 16 roll each has 200 two play sheets per roll. the 18 roll each has 176 2 ply sheets per roll! it just doesn't add up and how can both be called a 'regular roll'? is there a range for a regular roll? so sometimes the big prints on the packages are very misleading! =/
go figure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
first the bad prints and thinner quality for the BIGGER packs of Charmin UltraStrong - but now this?!!!
Charmin UltraStrong has been my fave for the longest time... tsk tsk tsk.

lil supergirl is now big supergirl!
my how fast supergirl is growing and she really is our pride and joy. everywhere we take her, she just makes everyone around us happy and even strangers gravitate twds her!
she is still co-sleeping with us, yes, still at 21 months. but we would not have it any other way!!!!!!! superman and i just love havng her close by and in arm's reach. she sleeps on her own crib, 3 sides up, and is pushed against our bed. she's still very attach to me when it's time to sleep and i enjoy every second of her snuggling up with me. i know this will all end sooner than i wish!
and she knows how to unlock my iphone! it's amazing watching her. she just slides the 'unlock' across the screen.
we're still hearing from a lot of people how advanced she is. we are happy to hear of course. she's very intuitive, she actually knows right from wrong and when we are upset. it's amazing to watch her comprehend our reactions to different situations and she takes it all in stride. we are very careful not to let her see us argue or raise our voices. so far we're doing good!- she's a very very happy toddler.
she's stringing words together. and making short sentences. and i love it when she just 'out of nowhere' reach over to hug me, pat me on the back, or bestow me with a kiss! such an affectionate child!~
she's finally eating cheese! she still won't each meat, but her chicken nuggets and fish sticks. but all in due time, we let her control her own taste and pace. still no veggies, except squash, but she we make sure she drinks naked juice green machine everyday.
we all just got our flu shots (mist for superman and i) last week. which is good, since we will be traveling shortly.
xoxo.

back in my skinny jeans!
well, not really...
but my suits. i fit all my suits from years ago. it feels good. i've invested in some great power suits during my 'corporate' days. lately, i've been cleaning house and i 'thought' about perhaps donating and selling some suits. i've finally found some time to go thru them today and ... boy was i surprised when i fit them... and i looked H _ O _ T. most of my suits are sleek, clean cut, well crafted, and make me look rather sexy powerful, the vibe i was going for back in the days. and i had so much fun trying them on today! feeling an old bit of my old self. i really don't know when i will ever wear them again though and IF i will enter the workforce either. but after much thought, i wanted to keep them all. good suits are hard to come by and i've invested a good amt of time and money finding ones that suit me well. if i ever needed a suit last minute... i doubt i'll be able to find a suitable one that i love and i'll prob have to drop a bunch of cash for one as all last minute shopping goes.
good day.

stacking up on lots of freebie or cheap mascaras lately
and also getting to try lots of new ones that are out!!
started with the boots lash enhancing mascara i picked up at target on clearance! i bought the whole lot and passed on to friends. they were $1.75 each!
then the cover girl exact light mascara at CVS, with an ECB rwd, so it was a fairly good deal.
then the Physicians Formula Plump Potion Lash Plumping & Stimulating Mascara for free, after ECB at CVS.
just picked up the benefit's badGAL blue at ULTA for free!
and i just got the 'new' maybelline pulse perfection mascara for only 12 cents at target! for some reason it was on clearance, and i had a $3 coupon! totally cool find.
so far i've only started using the covergirl exact lights mascara waterproof and i like it lots. really holds the curl. one downside is since it's waterproof, a bit hard to remove.
