So I had this theory that I would get up a little bit early, make some spaghetti before it got hot and then it could just sit in the dutch oven and mingle and all of that throughout the day -+ I always like re-heated spaghetti tons better than when it is fresh. HA HA HA HA HA Yeah.. let me tell you how this went I got up and called my mom and she's all why are you up early and i'm like OH, gonna make this spaghetti before it gets hot, la la la. I get off the phone and start the noodles. .am doing a few other random things and go to get out the sauce and.. I DO NOT HAVE SAUCE. WTF??? So I called my mom and asked her if she could take me to Aldi before she had to sell berries or honey or whatever. I was like I have 5 min left on noodles I already put some clothes on and am putting up my hair and can have Marley out in a matter of minutes. I take Marley out, come back in and my noodles were- I do NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. some were stuck to the bottom and the rest were not … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well.. The weekend was quick and over before I knew it! Friday was crazy because my power kept going in and out- I almost had to go over to my moms but thankfully it didn't get too hot and it finally came back on and stayed around lunch time. I was SO freaking bored because I had just cleaned up the books on my tablet and hadn't borrowed anymore on Kindle Unlimited. Then of course I couldn't watch anything on tv or be online so.. well you know how that is. I swear we have lost power more times at this apt. than ANYWHERE I have ever lived and they are never in a hurry to get it back on either so.. yeah. Saturday David worked till around 1030 or 11 and then we ended up eating at this little country cooking southern style local place that we generally never remember exists (they are only open like till 3) i don't really remember much else about Saturday lol Sunday- We ended up going to my moms for a late lunch/early dinner around 1:30 or so. David wanted a hair cut … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well.. I am trying to get going today, but between the heat and the sleep pattern it just isn't really happening lol.At Least I made it to the tanning bed yesterday? I don't think I'd been in a week though- ugh! I already need to shave too so .. BLAH -it is a viscous cycle right? Today I am mostly trying to comb the web for paid opps- I swear they are so few and far between for me anymore. I know where a mecca of $25 posts are but I'm not sure if they are worth my time -  I mean i'm not a snobby blogger and i've written for $5 before and been happy to get those posts in the past but I have evolved a little bit. I am still trying to decide if they are worth it- supposed to pay up front and some of them have products too so.. I don't know. I'm considering it I guess! I am trying to figure out what to do for dinner and it is driving me insane. I am thinking tater tot casserole -mostly because it goes in the crockpot! I believe you probably know I am NOT interested in … [Read more...]

I'm A Thrifty Gal I have always been a person who loved Yard Sales & Thrift Shops- which comes in handy when that is what my grandma and mom have always been into- it works out really well :) I just thought that everyone was into that sort of thing! I mean what is not to love? Half of the fun is the luck of the day you know?Though those days that you don't find even one thing - those do really suck, but then you counter them with those days where you find a ton, or at least something and it is all good! I have always liked that in getting the majority of my things at the thrift shops and yard sales, I tend to have things that everyone else might not have, and it is always fun when someone asks you where you got it and you say "thrift shop,or yard sale you know? I mean sure, a lot of the awesome stuff I get is brand name but sometimes you end up with something that is an extra special treasure :) Even my wedding dress came from the thrift shop for $17 before I even met David so … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well I am TOTALLY FREAKING WORE OUT . I Stayed up too late Saturday night , and even managed to do it last night- and then David had to go in at 4 a/m and of course it is almost impossible for me to go back to sleep when he leaves at 6 , let alone at 4 so.. YEAH..thats where we are there - I tried to nap while ago but it did NOT help. So tonight, I have every plan in the world to get in bed about 9, read a little and get to sleep early and see if that doesn't help things - though I am not expecting miracles. I mean techinically David needs to be in bed by like 8 or so and it is still light outside- and that barley gets him home to take a shower /eat and do anything else before hand so .. Yah.. I found some beef meatballs that didn't have cheese in them so I got them and that was for dinner today- but they got a little over done- and they are bit more salty than I think they should be. I still ate some of them by themselves and on some bread as a sandwich so I hope … [Read more...]
