Today is my husband Jeremy’s birthday! I’m telling you this because there is nooo way the Queen Bee blog would be around if it wasn’t for him. Jeremy is awesome for lots of reasons, but these are the reasons most relevant to the Queen Bee couponing crowd. . .
- He does whatever he can to support my crazy coupon hobby including watching our son in the evenings or on weekends when I’m posting the latest and greatest deals.
- He listens graciously as I rave about my latest clearance find, explain complicated transactions, or ramble off long receipts, exclaiming my savings at the end.
- He always guesses “high” when I ask him, “Guess how much I paid for this!?”
- He tries so hard to understand all the BOGOs, blinkies, cats, peelies and other coupon jargon.
- He tries to use coupons whenever he buys anything – even using a coupon when buying me roses! (I didn’t know what made me happier – his savings or his sweetness!)
- He doesn’t mind when I run out to the grocery store at 9 p.m. because of an awesome, can’t-be-missed deal.
- He NEVER complains about the piles of coupons and papers laying around the house (yes, I have piles of coupons that are not clipped, sorted or organized, who doesn’t?)
- He NEVER complains about carrying huge loads of Sunday newspapers to the recycling bin after I’ve pulled out all the coupon inserts.
- I could go on and on, but you get the idea and I really don’t want to embarrass him too badly.
For the most part, Queen Bee is a labor of love. It takes a ton amount of time and I do it because I love it and I am so grateful that Jeremy supports that, even if it means more work on his part, too.
If you’ve got a significant other that supports your couponing hobby make sure they know how much you appreciate them.
Happy Birthday Jeremy!
p.s. I won’t be blogging much this evening because we will be having a special dinner! But don’t worry – tomorrow morning I’ll have lots to share!
