From absurdlycool today, I got a coupon code for a free medium pizza from Domino’s. Just go to dominos.com, place an order for any medium 1-topping pizza, and when you get to check out enter “BAILOUT” in the coupon code spot. Depending on where you live, there may be a minimum amount you have to order in order to get this freebie. Or there may be charges if you want it delivered. For the one closest to me there was no minimum order required. It would be $1.78 if I wanted it delivered, but completely FREE if I pick it up. I’m not sure how long this coupon code will last- so you may want to try it soon! I’m leaving work pretty soon to go pick up my free pizza!
UPDATE: Apparently they were giving away too many free pizzas so this coupon code is no longer useable. The early bird gets the pizza.

I can’t believe I’ve only seen 21 of these. That’s pretty sad. And we even own some of the others, but I’ve never watched them. Maybe later I’ll post a list of what I would say are the top 100 movies to watch before you die.
This past weekend was our 2-day mega rehearsal for AMTC (more info about that on the “Send us to AMTC” page link above.) Saturday was crazy. Some good. But mostly bad. I felt like I was hiking at Cape Disappointment. That night was really hard. But Taylor and I talked about it a lot on the way to the Miley’s and we also got some chick-fil-a. I felt much better after that. We stayed the night at the Miley’s so we wouldn’t have to drive back and forth so far. Check out Jason’s page to see what we did that night. Then Sunday came and went and by the end of the day, I felt more like I was wearing a cape, and flying over to punch Disappointment in the face.
This past week I was discussing with Taylor how excited we were that Jason had started blogging again. This of course made Taylor bring up the fact that I haven’t been blogging either. So….now I have to keep up. I will do my best.
Today I will share with you part of my daily routine: absurdlycool.com. Every day, new links for freebies are posted. And most of them actually come! Not only is it exciting to get free stuff, but it’s exciting to get things in your mailbox that aren’t bills or junk or mail for people that lived in your house 8 years ago. Some neat things I’ve received from this site:
- mr. clean magic eraser sample
- toothpaste samples
- shampoo/conditioner samples
- quaker oats snack samples
- cat food samples -NBC promo buttons
- diapers (for my niece…I promise…)
plus lots of other cool stuff.
Tip: Anything from WalMart and Sams Club ALWAYS comes.
Tip: After each link, there are comments left by other users you can read. This usually gives you a better idea of what the freebie is without having to check it out yourself. Also, if other users look into it and think it’s a scam and your inbox will be flooded with spam, they’ll give you a heads up in this section.
So, there you go. Now go get yourself some freebies!
