Good morning!
My oh my. Yesterday around noon, I got the flu – it hit me like a ton of bricks. I spent most of the day in bed. My daughter had it the night before. I don’t get this kind of bug often and for that, I am grateful! It’s absolutely the worst feeling ever. The silver lining is I caught up on some sleep. What are your favorite home remedies for the flu?
If you are on the East Coast, please be safe! Hurricane Sandy sounds awful. Combine that with the 7.7 earthquake off the coast of British Columbia and both are reminders that you should have some kind of emergency preparedness plan at your home. I’ve shared this before – but this is a fantastic 24-week preparedness calendar to help you get your emergency supply set up within 6 months. I like this because it’s not overwhelming and walks you through each week. As couponers we have the advantage of putting this together for a minimal cost if we are intentional about it.

FOR THE LOCAL NW FOLKS
New hotel deal for Westport, WA! For $149, you can get a two-night stay in a king or queen deluxe room at Westport Inn and a bottle of wine – check in Friday ($246 Value).
You can still get Wicked tickets (Seattle) and save 18% off your tickets if you order from GoldStar. My husband and I went (for my birthday gift) Saturday night and it was INCREDIBLE. So many talented performers, amazing music, jaw-dropping effects and lighting. The last four- or five-years my husband and I have opted for experience gifts over material gifts on birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas – and I’m so grateful for this. I don’t need, or want, any fancy jewelry or flowers or knick knacks – but I’ll take a special date night any day! Stay tuned, I have an exciting giveaway planned – for later this week that is related to this story. . .
Did you go to the Tumwater Fred Meyer opening? If so, I’d love to hear how it went for you! Leave a comment and let me know.

I had not seen your emergency preparedness calendar before and was super excited to find it. Of course, I’m in VA waiting for the storm to hit. And while we have some things prepared (plenty of canned food, batteries, generator, gas, propane, etc) it’s always nice to find something like this resource to be more efficient in our efforts. Thanks so much for sharing! Better late than never, for me.
