If you don't know anything about me, I at least hope you know how into saving money by using coupons, going to discount bargain grocery stores, buying this on sale, and I have a love affair with thriftshops and even a yardsale when I can find a good one. One of the most expensive times in my life (other than now lol), is when I was going to college! I know that at one point not only was I away and out on my own, but I was having to live off campus which was even more hard for my parents to swing. The awesome thing was that one of the only schools that RENTS their textbooks out for a semester is Appalachian State University. I always thought that was one of the neatest concepts, and I liked it even more than trying to stalk the internet and look for used text books! I actually did find somewhere to rent a couple of my books later on, but it wasn't as easy to find those places as it can be now a days! Enter Campus Book Rentals! They have a very huge stock of available ! A few of … [Read more...]

Howdy Everyone! Well I missed my "Today is monday and my weekend was boring post yesterday" so.. yup that pretty much sums it up! I guess every weekend can't be exciting like "ooh, I got to go to the mountains, and /or go on a train") Basically this weekend was just about as mellow as they come. We hung around the house for the most part, and just vegged out watching tv /david playing games. I am feeling like being domestic today instead of being online, so I thought I'd take a few minutes to write a quick update to let everyone know that I am among the living. I am currently having major writers block, so that is another reason I have been a bit slack with writing! I am looking into some 30 day blog topic ideas and such , so hopefully I'll be able to perk the place up a notch catch ya later gators. … [Read more...]
Oh, I’m B-a-c-k from by b-r-e-a-k!
Howdy Howdy Hi! Well, I am trying to get back into blogging after my little break that took a little longer than I had thought it would! It is all good though, I feel more inspired and all of that good stuff. Let's see what has been going on that I can catch you up on Last weekend was pretty meh, as always ...David & I were going to go to my grandmas but since my parents were up there, I really didn't want to go. I want to go on a weekend when No one is there other than David & Me...That way we can get out and do things and stuff like that. We were going to go up on saturday originally, but I changed my mind Friday evening and had told my mom we would possibly come up on sunday instead. Then I had found out about the great smokey railroad having a $25 ticket sale (usually they are 50+ depending on what class you want to ride) David & I were planning to try to go for our anniversary...but since they were having such a good deal... So in the end we decided to … [Read more...]

Today Didn’t feel like monday!
*waves* I wanted to write a few lines since I have been on my little internet break the past few days (week or so) I went to the Great smoky mountains railroad and went on a 44 mile (each way) trip! It was pretty fun...relaxing...etc I will post some pics up as soon as I get the chance to get some watermarks on them and such! And of course I will write a few more details at that time (hopefully!) The rest of the weekend was pretty ..meh... I can't think of anything exciting and out of the ordinary... Right now I am getting ready to go to take a quick bath and a benadryl before going to bed...I gotta go to court tomorrow So.. yeah I am doing everything in my power to keep my mind off of it! I know it's gonna be o.k. but still... :( I know this was a very short post, but I wanted to at least let ya know i'm still kicking! <3 ya and catch ya later nichole … [Read more...]
Internet Burnout Prevention
Howdy! I am officially laying low online this week, but I did want to take a few minutes to check in with you all! There are a few different reasons i'm laying low this week online, but one of the major ones is because I am trying to NOT end up having internet burnout which I have been known to get several times in the past...and then the site flatlines and it takes me forever to build things back up. I really have put in too much work to have to worry about that happening again! I am getting ready to have david home for 5 days straight! Even better? I am looking forward to it! (Fri-Tuesday) His vacation starts over on June 3, and since I have court on tuesday (um...yeah) He's gonna go ahead and take his last vacation day on that day. Of course I always have him Fri-Sunday and then we have the memorial day on monday. I hope maybe we can get into something another exciting on at least one of those days. A trip to the mountains might be in order! I am potentially selling … [Read more...]
