Awsome People

I looked at my fiancé' and stated firmly..."It was NOT my fault!"

Maybe it was because he has heard this from me before, or maybe it was because these were the first words out of my mouth when I came home from work, but he stared at me with googily eyes (O.o) and asked.. "WHAT is not your fault?"

I explained that I was on the train quietly sorting coupons, when this lady said "Hey, are you one of those extreme couponers?!?!!?"  At that most eyes around were on me.

Me: "Umm not really extreme.  I mean I don't get thousands of dollars in groceries for pennies, but yeah I do use coupons."
Train Rider: "yeah but you do it"
Me: "yes"
Train Rider:  "Well, HOW do you do it?"

From there my train car had a chat about coupons, stacking, rules, and generally how things work.  There was even a note taken or two and comments tossed in from other train riders who were listening.

So to the nice Metra riding lady, I say thanks for listening last night, to the people in the car I say sorry if the conversation got a bit loud as people asked questions and to the rest of you I say, yep that is why I decided to do this.
