Hey Everyone Well.. I am actually super busy today but I thought I would stop for a few minutes before I eat lunch/really get into things to write a few lines. Yesterday my mom and I went to CVS.. my favorite deal was going to be the (2_) 3 packs of kleenex for like $2.98 after everything was said and done, and of course they didn't have them :( that was really the only thing I had on my list , so I had to revamp but it all worked out. We also had went to the CM but I didn't really get much- I think 2 shirts and 2 pj' pants (super cute with ruffles) David and I finished watching the society when he got home and then we went to bed super early. I played Diner dash and read a little before I went to bed but I think I turned everything off around 10. My mom wanted to go to Aldi this morning so I went and did that- I am going to be doing a summer sort of menu of various pastas and such for the next 2 weeks - + a few random things. I got most everything when we were out, and I am … [Read more...]

was it a good idea? lol
Hey Everyone OMG.. I let my mom talk me into going over to some thrift shops that I havent been too in a while.. I just really don't ever feel like going there and when she first asked me I was like um ... NO... but I changed my mind. I kind of wish I'd have stuck with that original thought though lol It isn't that I didn't get anything but.. ugh.. it was time consuming as heck and I kind of thought that these shops were kind of thinned out, over priced and kind of-- getting to an EW level :( I mean I'm used to paying like a dollar or two for shirts and maybe 3 or 4 for pants. the ONE and only pair of jeans I picked up (and did get ) were $6.50! I think we hit up 2 thrift shops, Ollies and then headed back across the lake and hit up another thrift shop but it literally took 4 or 5 hours because the traffic coming across the lake! Oh, and then we hit up Aldi on my way home but I didn't have an actual grocery list so I just grabbed a few random things. I am seriously considering … [Read more...]
David’s Birthday Present: #handmade #kylebusch wreath by my mom!
Several months ago I had saw someone selling Kyle Busch wreaths on a Facebook group for around$130 shipped...so that was a bit rich for my blood.! However my mom makes everything in the world including wreaths so I sent her some pics and asked her what could come up with .. for David's birthday-- just using what she had on hand..plus the little card that they send when you order stuff that I had saved :) I have to say that i think it turned out awesome. ..It actually sort of matches our front car tag in the middle part. Oh and a side note Kyle's birthday and David's are the same month and year just two weeks apart..Kyle is older ;) I almost don't want to hang it out, because i'm afraid it might get stolen. I mean we have lived here for 5 years with no issues on that note, but I still worry! … [Read more...]
flying by
Hey Everyone This week is F L Y I N G by! I have been a little bit under the weather- totally due to girly stuff apparently- and allergies but things have been pretty good for the most part! I got sucked into watching Another World again which we all knew was going to happen but I was cleaning in the closet one day and found a random episode and was watching while I was cleaning and .. now i'm down the rabbit hole- sometime in 1994 or so.. not really where I planned to watch from so I need to stop/back up or whatever lol My mom and I did a quick CVS trip this morning. We are both at a point with CVS where we are planning to spend out our EB's and be done for a while. I turned a lot of my EB's into cash cards when they were doing those, so it should be easy for me to pick up at any point. I kind of knew that this would happen- The latest I gave it was June- and I figured by David's birthday (next thursday) that she would be into gardening, berries, honey and whatver else she does … [Read more...]
more crickets than rambles
Hey Everyone I am in a better spirit blogging wise today for some reason- just seems some things are coming together a little bit better. I know that I renewed the domain yesterday - even though I had the tiniest thought of *why* in the back of my head- I had to push it away lol. It wasn't an over powering sort of thought but you know- I've been doing this a while and we all know how i've kinda been more crickets than rambles lately but.. I am hoping that it changes like I say.. sometimes you just have to take a break and then when you come back, come back super strong and refreshed and that is kind of what I have been doing. I know that when I did my trip and gift guide back to back there I got super wiped and I just never really have got back into things ... I have a few ideas and such and it seems like the sunny weather is helping! I am really in a "do all the things " kind of mood today so that helps too! I am thinking about pitching for some things and starting to review … [Read more...]
Remembering When We Planned Our Wedding (and possibly planning a vow renewal)
Lately I have been doing some reflection on of all things- back to when I was planning my and David's wedding back in 2007! In case you didn't know- David and I had a very whirlwind relationship- We met In January, got engaged in February and Married in June- All in the same year! I also had a wedding dress that I had gotten an amazing deal on at a thrift shop several months before we even met. It was just too good of a deal, and fit perfectly so I had to have it ($17 for those who are curious!) David and I were working at the Salvation Army family store at the time, and we only had a few months to plan it- well it was a little bit overwhelming at times! I guess you can say though, my mom kind of became our wedding planner and everything really did come together quite nicely- We actually ended up doing the wedding on fathers day weekend of that year, which also ties in with a big family event that we have every year at that time that we call decoration at my grandparents in … [Read more...]
