Stayed up very late and had the TV on Channel 5 – CBS – for mindless entertainment while I tried to fall asleep. For some reason I just could not sleep. Too much on my mind, I guess. So about 3:00 am I watched a rerun of an early Monk show. It was pretty funny. Loved the cast of characters. The stories are a little trite but the interaction with the main character, Monk, is the point of the series anyway. He is a former police officer with acute psycho-socio disorders, like OCD and some Autism. But those social shortcomings are what he uses to solve the crimes. Interesting concept for a TV show.

Well it definitely feels like fall is in the air all of a sudden.  There is a bit of a chill in the air that wasn’t there last week.  I find it totally amazing how the seasons change and sometimes it can be rapidly and other times, it flows from one to the other with very little change.  I like it when it just sort of flows into the next season.

A friend of mine that lives in Colorado said they are under a winter advisory next week.  Winter?  Not ready for that right now.  Let’s get through fall first.

With everything that you need for getting the kids back to school, now is the time to save.  It can be expensive to have to buy new shoes, all those supplies that they need and not to mention, the clothes they need because they out grew most of their school clothes over the summer.

Nothing helps better than finding Wal-Mart discount coupons.  They already have low prices and then add a discount and you can really save.  Another good place to go is Payless shoe stores.   I even found Payless shoes discount coupons online.   I’m going to have to start looking online more for coupons.  I didn’t realize how much we could save.
