What an exciting experience!

Recently at work a strange group walked through "taking a tour" with a BRMC employee. They stopped and told us they were thinking of shooting a movie at the hospital. After they walked away I began asking about them and found out that among them - actually the one doing the talking was Dylan Baker who had played on Spider Man 2. I tried to search facebook to see if he had a 'fan page' and accidently typed his name in my status and was unable to erase it from my phone. Ha.
Shortly after that they visited again. This time I spoke to Dylan Baker face to face. He was asking about IV's and how it would look if a patient ripped it out. I joked with family saying "he knows House" because I found out along with Spider Man he'd also appeared on Monk, House and other things. This visit they told us they would be filming April 5 and 6th.
Enter Google. Must find out what this '23 Blast' is about. I found their blogspot. Check out http://23blast.blogspot.com/ and like their facebook page as well. So as I begin to read their blog about the movie the first post I come upon... "We're happy to announce that playing our film's hero, Travis, will be the talented Mark Hapka." Now honestly I had never heard of Mark but reading on, "He joins 23 Blast team after a short but successful career in television most notably playing Nathan Horton on the long running Days of Our Lives." Say what!? Nathan Horton aka Mark Hapka is going to be playing a pediatric patient, in one of my patient rooms. Awesome! Check the schedule. Yes I work both days! Woo hoo!

Let's go Krogering

If you love couponing then you must love Kroger. Check with your local Kroger for coupon policy about double coupons. Ours doubles coupons up to 50 cents. Some will even round a 75 cent coupon up to $1.00. With double coupons and awesome sales Kroger is a great place to shop. Sale adds run Sunday to Saturday. If you do not already have a Kroger plus card stop by customer service and sign up for yours today.

My "Let's go Krogering" Tips:

Be sure to view the sale ad Kroger.com Then view coupon matchups with TheKrazyCouponLady's website. You want to use paper coupons available first because digital coupons do not double. In the past if you had already added a .50/1 ecoupon to your card and found the same .50/1 coupon in your sunday paper (that will double) you could not remove the ecoupon. Now if you find a better coupon you do have the option to remove coupon. You CANNOT use a paper coupon and digital coupon on one item.

Kroger often has popular mega events where you save $5 when you buy 10 participating items. With these sales it is vital to buy in multiples of 10 to maximize your savings. When buying 10 of each item is not suitable I have found that using reusable shopping bags can be very helpful. Just take out these bags and fill each with 10 participating items and fold them over. Then you will know what you have already in the buggy.

Check with your sale ad and online to catch specials when they offer a new deal of the day. They often have a special ecoupon you can download to your card for one day only. The coupon will then be good for a couple of weeks.

Also check for catalinas and offers at the register.

Then take your Kroger plus card with you to the pump. Shopping at kroger you can earn up to 1 point per $1 grocery purchase. Kroger and Shell stations get up to 10 cents off per gallon. See store and your receipt for more information.
