which is probably not that big of a surprise, since i’m fairly certain that’s how the majority of you got here today (thank you for coming!). but anyway, the very awesome justin ellis over at the PPH interviewed me on friday, and here i am in monday’s paper (print & online versions)! i am pleased to report that i didn’t make too big of an ass out of myself, and that he was able to pull out at least a couple of quotes that didn’t involve overt swearing or the word vagina. as a final testament to his awesomeness, justin decided to close with the voltron quote. the voltron quote! who said that newspapers were dead?

don't mess with me.
find me!
You rock so hard! My husband just showed me the article. Thanks for the mention, by the way! I just creamed a little bit.
you’re very welcome (and you rock right back)! i was bummed that he didn’t put direct links to you and money saving maine-iac in his article, but hopefully people are finding you from my blogroll.
That’s cool, I’m just honored that you even mentioned us! Although I kind of do wish you’d said vagina in there somewhere.
i did say vagina! he just edited out. i was actually quoting you (saying the the other coupon ladies act like they don’t have vaginas). i don’t think the PPH is ready for that anatomy lesson yet!
Haha! I love it. My mom called it a vaginko the other day and that made me super psyched.
your mom sounds amazing. vaginko! i may be forced to twitter about that right now. one time a couple of my friends were at a bar, and some eastern european dude asked them if they were “lezbig”. almost as good, but i’m pretty sure your mom wins this one.
Oh Lord! They’ll be no living with you now! You’re too famous! No seriously, Congratulations and thanks for the shout out.
Peace,
Teresa
i promise to still make time for “the little people” 🙂 but seriously, i am the little people. my blog is just getting started- yours is already fully formed! you have your own url! *jealousy*. you’re welcome for the shout out. by all rights, that article should have probably been about you. keep on rockin’ the party!
Word….
’bout time you got some love in the press!

thanks! i don’t know how press-worthy i really am, but it sure did make me feel like a rockstar for a minute. 🙂
I’m fairly certain that’s the only time I’ve mentioned Voltron in the column, let alone that someone said it to me in an interview. Nice.
i’m feel proud that i was your first. thank you again for the amazing opportunity. i totally owe you a cookie bouquet.
What a great story! And your irl name rocks.
thank you! much credit due to justin ellis, the guy who wrote the story. every time there’s an article in the paper that i like, it’s always him. it’s funny, so many people think i’m bess marvin- i wonder if finding out my real name was a surprise? 🙂
Hey! I found your blog through facebook.
Looks sharp! Very sharp indeed.
Hope all is well with you. 🙂
@bessmarvin – Your name? It’s totally Nancy Drew!
i wish my name was bess marvin! no, i’m just another crazy nancy drew fan. my real name is allie (alexandra if you want to be fancy about it). thanks for the awesome compliment! i’m glad you found me. 🙂
I had to google the name – is it Nancy Drew’s sidekick?
she is! i’m a crazy for nancy drew. i’ll actually be getting a nancy drew tattoo someday to celebrate my credit card debt-freeness (if that ever happens!).
