Word Prompt: Game

"I'm sore," I groaned, my body ached as I rolled from his arms. I could feel him chuckle beside me, but I resisted the urge to smack him with another pillow. The night before had been…well, it was just something. After our first real disagreement, Edward proved that he definitely knew how to cook when he put away the food we bought to eat right away, and instead whipped up baked chicken breasts with homemade pasta salad. Each bite was to die for, and despite my love of cooking, I was going to make him cook as often as I could manage it.

However, as soon as the plates were in the sink, we were running to the bed. Maybe we were just weird, but it felt like I could never get enough. When we were together, I felt complete, but even going a few hours without felt too long. As much as I loved each second of being with Edward, I slightly hoped the feeling would fade to something more manageable…eventually.

Now as my body cricked and strained, I questioned whether it was a good idea to act like a contortionist. Of course, I hadn't questioned that in the moment, and would now definitely be paying for it all day long.

"That bad?" Edward asked as he rolled to his belly and looked over at me. I pouted and nodded, and almost slapped his hand away before I realized he was kneading at my aching back. I moaned as my head fell back to my pillow while I enjoyed the feeling of his hand on me. "Is this helping?" I could only nod in response as he kept working my back.

"Thank you," I whispered over as his open palmed hand rubbed up and down my back.

"Anytime," he replied with a soft kiss before pushing himself out of bed. "We should shower and eat; we have some shopping to do." The reminder was definitely not something I wanted to hear as my head fell back on the pillow. I really hated shopping. "Yeah, yeah, I know, but I have a game plan for today if that helps. We'll hit a few furniture stores since we have a lot to add to this place. Nothing too crazy, but I do want to make this place entertain-able."

"Can we go to Target?" I asked as my head snapped up with a smirk.

"Um, sure, but why?" Edward looked over at me very suspiciously as I simply grinned victoriously. I was pretty sure he didn't remember that they sold furniture or decor.

So, short, and sweet, but a battle of the minds is coming soon to a home near you ;) Seriously though, hubs is off for 4 days, I haven't slept in 4 months...I just got a 44 oz fountain Coke that I've been craving and we won't talk about the free queso I'm consuming. Generally, I'm not a junk food person, BUT when Mission Foods sent me 13 boxes of free food because I won a contest...um. Though, being completely serious, we kept very little-most went to my unit's FRG, lower enlisted struggling members of our company...etc, but I snagged Queso for me and it is SOOOOO good! However, nothing stops a couponer speechless like watching FedEx have to back into your driveway and the first thing out of his mouth was, "Are you having a party?" Snort!

Now, being completely serious since Bella brought up coupons in the last chapter, it's something I am dedicated too. Today I walked out of the grocery store $16 richer than when I walked in and 3 bags of groceries ;) Also, went to the convenience store and got 2 cokes, 1 pack of cigs, 4 things of cold medicine, and a package of peanuts for $3. Today alone I've made $13...not bad, eh? But, have no fear, this Bella isn't a couponer-she's just money conscious.

This will be insanely random for most of you because it's not something I do often...well, ever in an a/n, but I'd like to promote a few things.

1. Fandom Gives Back is less than $1,000 from their $15,000 goal for BD:P1. When they make their goal it will have meant the fandom has raised a quarter of a million dollars for the lemonade Stand. For those who don't know, I'm a survivor of childhood leukemia and lymphoma, so this charity is very near and dear to my heart! In the complilation is a Blind Intentions Futuretake of Edward and Bella after Natalie is dropped off at college-it's sweet and fun and a recap of where they all went after BI ended.

2. Something I didn't talk about when I wrote Thrifty was the use of sites to earn money and coupons. For example, RecycleBank is a free site, you do answer random polls and make pledges to save the environment, earn points, and you can print coupons. Every month I get a $1/1 Any Coca-Cola Product, $2/1 Any Kashia Product, and $0.50/2 Suave Kids...those are all used in my house often, and takes me like no time to do. Other places are deals like Groupons and stuff, which admittedly, I haven't done much. Other sites are like Swagbucks and SuperPoints. If I had to pick one over the other, it'd be SuperPoints. They give out their prizes weekly, you hit a button (though you can do offers, surveys, watch movies if you want, but I don't), to earn points. I try to do something for at least a month before I promote it to ensure it's legit, and I've already received $15 in Amazon Gift Cards and next Tuesday I'll have $20 in cash. Wanna guess where all that is going? CHRISTMAS SHOPPING! So seriously, since I'm asked a lot about saving money on ffn, twitter, and facebook...don't be scared to use ALL available resources! Free money is still free money. And, if you need help, links, invites...etc to any of the above shoot me a message or a tweet, and I'll be happy to explain it.

Currently, through GChat, GMail, and Twitter I've taught a handful of fandom members how to coupon well despite everyone being all over the country, so if you need help don't hesitate to ask. I know I talk about being busy-but talking about stuff I love to do isn't work to me. If you don't follow me on twitter it's SammieLynnsMom or FB is SammieLynnsMom Fanfiction, though I'm not on there much.

So, now that my PSA is over, go back to your regularly scheduled broadcast while I start the next chapter...see ya in, an hour? Wanna time me? Please don't, but it'll be soon...promise!
