Hey Everyone well last night I went to bed about 1030 and read until about 11. I went to the bathroom and the power flickered and scared me to death! Then I was almost asleep and david did one of those things where he thinks he stops breathing and jumps awake and scared me to death! Then I woke up at 5 and never went back to sleep- and here it is 8 and I feel like death! It isn't so much the staying up and feeling like I could sleep the rest of the day that is killing me, but I have some sort of evil nausea going on! I will likely be able to fight the sleep at least till late this afternoon but the nausea - I don't know about. I was actually excited to get up early and get things done- trying to get in that habit! Have I mentioned how excited I am for the time change here in a few weeks? Oh and I might try to have a yardsale right around that time too- I had some things left over from the last one when it was so cold - and likely could come up with a good amount more if I really … [Read more...]
Ramblings- Short Ramblings!
Hey everyone Well I stayed up this morning because I was going to go to the thrift shop with my mom... it turned out to be a bummer - there wasn't really anything that struck my interest except a pair of boots that I ended up getting. We had also checked out their furniture annex but I didn't find anything so interesting there either. Then we stopped by the family dollar and they had this really cute 3 piece bed spread set that is pink and white on one side and red with writing on the other and she got me that, so that was neat. The only thing is sam is already sinking his claws into it - not on purpose but .. ugh! We went in Aldi for a few things too, and then we ate at showmars. I needed a few more things from the store like some green tea and some french bread but I would have likely had to get that at walmart so.. I guess I will have to get it on my own. I had someone that was supposed to/is supposed to give me some money they owe me today but so far I haven't saw it- it is … [Read more...]
What does financial freedom look like to you? #sitsgirls
I am writing along with the Sits Girls March Writing prompts for a little bit of extra blogging inspiration! You can find out more about the sits girls and their prompts by clicking the image above. This image is also courtesy of the sits girls! I am happy to say that David and I are - as of December of last year debt free with the exception of our car payment which we owe a TON on thanks to VERY high interest rates that come along with bad credit! I am hoping that we can have it refinanced and cut our payment in half and save several thousand dollars in the process. Literally we should NOT be paying almost $400 a month on a 2004 Honda Civic but. .. some people just see people coming I guess would be the way to say it. Then again, I had NOTHING to do with going to get this car or I would have ran screaming into the night and it wouldn't have happened. However, we did need something a bit newer and with less miles/more reliable - no one is saying that we didn't but.. yeah the … [Read more...]
I thought I had wrote!
Hey Everyone Well..let me see if I can catch you up on everything since I wrote last! Thursday was my birthday and for some reason this sent me into an unexpected little mini bout of depression. I think I just don't think birthdays are all that great since I got older- they weren't really a big deal when I was a kid, and I have only ever had a few that were any different than "just another day" Anyways, I finally managed to snap out of my funk around 2 pm and my mom came over and picked Marley and Me up and she colored my hair and made me a ribeye dinner :) Friday- lets just say it was a blur. David had some family things going on so he didn't go to work and it really threw me off on getting anything done. Saturday - we had EVERY PLAN to go to church but Davids dad and bro roll up and lets just say they do NOT grasp the concept of visiting for a little while and then going home. They were here literally ALL DAY LONG. I told David he needs to tell them that he is supposed to … [Read more...]
One of those let apartment maintenance bug me days
Hey Everyone Well I am up EARLY this morning because they are supposed to be bringing around those trashy filters for the air thingy but I don't use those, and I just changed anyways so.. plus they are supposed to test the smoke detectors too- which is going to SUCK for my miss Marley - I expect her to either Pee in the floor or hide under the bed :( we have 4 and yeah she doesn't respond well to that kind of thing. I have already taken her out to pee but you know.. if she gets scared... which it is fine if she does I can clean it up with the spot bot! I figure if they take around 5 min per apt they would be around my way about 1030 or so- However, I did see them over here randomly while ago and they did ONE apartment in my block so I am wondering if they are doing random tests or what. You never know around here. I really miss our old Maintenance guy! I just looked out the patio door and the clouds are moving so fast ! It is really pretty but they are grey clouds! We are … [Read more...]
Review: The Spice Lab #ad #sponsored #review #thespicelab
We all know my love for all things salty- I am also fascinated by different types of spices and the like. It goes with this new found "love" I have for cooking. I mean I might not be able to figure out what we are going to have for dinner most days (oh, we are so going to a menu system lol) and I don't like doing a whole lot of in depth cooking, but I do like to try to make new things - just recently I made biscuit bread for the first time ever! One thing with cooking, you have to have not only variety in what you eat or you will get bored, but you also need different spices and whatnot to mix it up. Now, around my house and my parents we generally use sea salt because it packs more of a punch and you don't have to use as much- and it is better for you than regular salt because it is a bit more healthy for you than regular salt and with David having high blood pressure and me eating salty stuff so much it is just a better for us in the long run! Going along with my love for … [Read more...]
