<br />
My mom has been bugging me for the last two days asking me if I got a box yet that UPS was supposed to be delivering. Now keep in mind.. my mom is new to the internet scene and doesn't really like ordering from the internet so I had no idea what she was going to be sending to me. I went out to get the mail and saw a box next to our side door. I grabbed it and ran inside, I could not wait to see what it was.. and it was light too.. I had NO idea what it was..<br />
<br />
One of the final pieces I needed for my Willow Tree nativity!!!! =O I was so shocked, She was going to buy it for me while we were at the mall the other week but I told her no, buy it for me for my birthday so then I could put it out for Christmas instead of getting it for Christmas and having to pack it away already. Now all I need is the creche and my nativity will be complete!! <br />

I also got lots of goodies in my mailbox the other day!

I can't wait to melt the others!!<br />

I also got a couple more candles today and some Wall flowers from B&BW. I have a problem -.-<br />
I got some lotions from TJ Maxx while we were in DC. One is from Pure & Basic it's Creme Brulee and it smells like heaven. I got a banana one also in the body wash, the creme brulee is just heavenly though. I checked my store here at home and they don't have them, and I can't find it online :( I want more!!!<br />

In other news.... I have a super busy next two weeks ahead of me, Friday I have to go for my dress fitting/alterations for my friends wedding. Then hubby and I are going to go laptop/tablet shopping. I haven't been able to tell him a gift that I wanted for Christmas and a laptop is the only thing that I can think of, so he said we'll go together on Friday and pick something out. I am so excited!! Then we are going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I went two years ago and am excited to see the new violinist. The last one was amazing and she had a pink see through violin. I would marry her instantly =P Then we plan on going to the Hofbrauhous to eat afterwards. Then of course the Christmas weekend festivities and going to 9230672390627 (almost quite literally) families. Then after that my friends wedding is on the 31st, the rehersal stuff is the 30th. I've never done any of this wedding stuff before. I am more comfortable at funerals and thats sad. We plan on getting some OJ and vodka and having some at 10am when we are getting our hair done and saying its just our breakfast. I am excited but super nervous at the same time.<br />

Ok, enough boring details about my life for now. Hope everyone has a great, happy and safe Christmas weekend!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986028329602399322.post-30227115894963344352011-12-13T03:04:00.000-05:002011-12-13T03:04:47.061-05:00Some of my shopping trip...So I went out today to get some Christmas gifts, and groceries.. and got myself a few things =P<br />
<br />
<br />
Went to TJ Maxx.. I tried on 93406729062 pants and only found two that I liked, it was between this pair and a black pair but this pair was cheaper so I took these.. and I did need a new bra, it is going to be a Christmas present I am going to give hubby to wrap up for me LOL<br />

My present to my mom. I was going to get her the big 3.5oz spray but I got her the gift set instead. I like that she can take the roller ball with her in her purse, and this will still last her a long time.. AND I got a good deal on it!! The roller ball alone is typically $20!<br />

Victoria secret.. I was only going to get one lotion with my coupon but I decided to just get the three. <br />

BBW. I forgot to use my free item coupon, but I did use my $10 off $30 so I dont think I could've used it anyway. But $25 for 3 candles and a pink mini spray is pretty awesome if you ask me.<br />
The tangerine cake smells AMAZING cold.. I have the Pistachio one burning now and I must say that it was my least favorite of the three on cold sniff, but now that it is burning I think that it's SOOO good!!<br />
<br />
My store had the Mahogany Teakwood candle, but not the other new "manly" scented one. I DO like MT but I decided to pass on it for right now because I wanted to try these three before they take them away. I definatly want to get more of the pistachio. I can't wait to burn the other two.<br />

</a></div>I also made a trip to Goodwill the other day and spent $10.. I got 3 shirts, 3 stuffed animals (a nemo, patrick and odie.. the nemo will be for my friends baby when she pops it out and the other two are for me because I am a big kid =P), another tall, cute, snowman (because I REALLY needed a new one -_-) and I think that was it (I didnt get any pictures of this one)<br />

In other news..<br />
<br />
We are going to D.C. this weekend.. well actually to Rockville, MD for hubbys interview on Saturday but we will be going to DC to do some shopping/museums/see his Grandpap, etc. while we are down in that area. I really can't wait even if it is just for the weekend. I need to dig out hubby's suit and good shirt and go get them dry cleaned tomorrow (mental note to self).<br />
I am going shopping with my mom on Wednesday to get some Christmas presents. I only work 2 days this week, I worked a few hours on Sunday and I work Tuesday but I am off the whole rest of the week. I needed to take vacation time before the end of the year. It's SO nice getting stuff done. I did 4 loads of laundry.. and actually put them ALL away (which is a BIG thing for me.. I love DOING the laundry, I just haaaaate putting it away.) I also cleaned our bathroom (go me!)<br />
I just need to do some more random cleaning and work on other little tasks I gave myself. I really needed this time off work to catch up.<br />

I went a little snap happy with the camera today and was playing with some different settings.. i took WAY more pictures than this, but I don't want to bore everyone.<br />
<br />
First.. I grabbed the camera to take pictures of my lazy-bum-cutie-pie Ace. I heard rustling like he was chewing on my wreath, but I walk in to see him all curled up in it. What a doll. <br />
<br />

I got this little bird from Kmart.. totally not at all planned, I only wanted to get ribbon but I saw him laying on his side all alone on an empty rack in an aisle. I snatched him up, now he is all warm and cozy and loved in my home <3 <br />

I grabbed two (thats all that was left) of those keys at walmart for $.97 a piece. I know I could get them cheaper after christmas, but I didn't want to risk it, plus I can use them for many many many things. <br />

Two belts that I got from Goodwill for $1 each. Its not the best picture I could get of them, but I seem to go through belts like crazy so I had to have these. I actually only spent a total of $9 at Goodwill for these two belts, a table runner (pictured below), two shirts, two jars, and two towels. I was a happy camper!!<br />

Hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!<br />
I am slowly getting my Christmas decor up and wanted to do a post with some pictures from around the house and some recent Goodwill finds! Onto the good stuff! ;-P<br />
<br />
My Willow Tree nativity this year is on top of my bookshelf in the living room.. I only need one more piece to complete the set, then I just need the creche for it. I am thinking about asking for both of those for Christmas this year so that I can have it all completed. <br />

My small/beginner Christmas Village. Every piece here I got from either Goodwill or yard sales. In fact I believe I got two or three of the houses and all of the signs, people, bridge, gazebo from the same lady at a community yard sale over the summer, I think I only payed $5 for everything I got from her. The one piece doesn't match the others, but my village is so small still.. it's my "hodge podge village"! lol<br />
Surprisingly.. the cats have NOT messed with it.. YET.. Ace layed on the snow before I put any of the houses up but that was it. <br />

This set is older than me, it survived 24 years of my existance and who knows how long before that and is still totally in one piece.. the ange is a bit wobbly at the top from years of being picked up adn put away, etc. but nothing some glue cant fix! I hope to have this for a very very long time, and maybe even pass down to my kids!<br />

Bird cage from Goodwill only $.99 .. I am not positive what I want to do with this one yet.. Do I want to paint it or keep it this color.. I do think the little birdie inside on the swing is cute but Id like to be able to fill it with stuff, so i think I am going to try to take it off in a way that I can put it back on if I want it on.. I think this would be cute with some Christmas balls in it!<br />

I have been taking pictures while out and about of things that I want to put on my "Christmas List" I have some of them uploaded, others are still in waiting.<br />
<br />
To start you off.. Here's a picture of my incredibly silly, bad, and lazy boy - Ace. He sits and sleeps in the weirdest positions. Everytime I look at him I am almost guaranteed a laugh. I couldn't help but take millions of pictures of him on the couch like this, and he was totally hammin' it up for me. <br />

I just had my best friends bridal shower on the 5th. (I am the maid of honor). I hate looking at pictures of myself, I look so frumpy.. especially beside her!<br />

Every year I get a new bedding set for Christmas.. I have been wanting something plaid and was looking at ones online, but I came across this Rough Hewn set at Bon Ton on sale. It has that fuzzy red lining on the other side, it is so soft, and comfy, and would go perfectly with our bedroom set. I think this is going on my list for this year. <br />

I still have yet to upload EVERYTHING that I have saved in that folder.. but i'll get there eventually.. until then I am loving the site.

Hubby really doesn't like white, and most of our furniture is wood or black. I plan on redoing a couple of pieces though, and really want to do a dark stain on top and white (or possibly gray) on the bottom.<br /><br />I went around and took pictures of a few of the white knick knacks I have scattered around.. We recently did a big deep clean because we had someone come to look at our house so there isn't as much out as there was... but here are a few things!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br />First is the top of one of my book shelves ... I had to move the picture over so you could see the white cat better, and ignore the hubby's model plane -.- After Easter I took everything down and never really did re-decorate anything, I just kind of threw things around and didn't do much with anything.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIeihPcs19QzxYk16VgNWp96jICcfFQ_S7mq1hyhD0ewzhJivI43M1pF_pCw8Ts-Sdzmhlmv8jnjsRh_8iwI9y2bGDM2Mm138S0zBG0wY0YlTJmbhY4V27knJB-qKnOJOgDANzZ_NjDYR5/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIeihPcs19QzxYk16VgNWp96jICcfFQ_S7mq1hyhD0ewzhJivI43M1pF_pCw8Ts-Sdzmhlmv8jnjsRh_8iwI9y2bGDM2Mm138S0zBG0wY0YlTJmbhY4V27knJB-qKnOJOgDANzZ_NjDYR5/s400/006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628879505213265746" border="0" /></a><br />My little white Goodwill bird basking in the (nonexistent) Pennsylvania sun amongst the plants on the window sill.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5DQQSBaGcdywgLlFkTbtFQOJ9oZjzwLVI69ltKJiwyKrwdGfYh-SOVcs3tA4CgMdCXRfuFH7S1aJqz29aUc0v3Ri9ym9JfdAy50xHnoMSxiOK6HaflTH9OXlNCNhfAyvnQQnlxu2o6OUf/s1600/004.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5DQQSBaGcdywgLlFkTbtFQOJ9oZjzwLVI69ltKJiwyKrwdGfYh-SOVcs3tA4CgMdCXRfuFH7S1aJqz29aUc0v3Ri9ym9JfdAy50xHnoMSxiOK6HaflTH9OXlNCNhfAyvnQQnlxu2o6OUf/s400/004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628879503153412306" border="0" /></a>Some of my Willow tree collection sitting on a silver tray with fake pearls, heart gem stones and a key.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBtDtOlMjtX7CY5WMnEEC-gHunkcAg7-XExR2c2GCqQYP1EY2wsfKnaWKmb2ZUh2W8WCfT7u7-7iPjI8K-FdVZ0cL6bSdF11vzDdobBmACtVOjdHYXN8tzTqSsmRTYNuVMZ9DH6DqLmnCZ/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBtDtOlMjtX7CY5WMnEEC-gHunkcAg7-XExR2c2GCqQYP1EY2wsfKnaWKmb2ZUh2W8WCfT7u7-7iPjI8K-FdVZ0cL6bSdF11vzDdobBmACtVOjdHYXN8tzTqSsmRTYNuVMZ9DH6DqLmnCZ/s400/003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628879502089694786" border="0" /></a><br />Top of my corner hutch with all my birdhouses and random country knick knacks<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDdfUc8G6Xtd6gHVB5Z7fqmMqhCg-5vQHKjyj71Ae8dvkQXUy-fVRMdeBqomqszbKrpUAOd39_Fnx7dvu5nogZB_oWjMTMuy9JYjMcvrQ2H39tHo7tb3bZC236UQn21x2vgHROBfQV0Riw/s1600/002.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDdfUc8G6Xtd6gHVB5Z7fqmMqhCg-5vQHKjyj71Ae8dvkQXUy-fVRMdeBqomqszbKrpUAOd39_Fnx7dvu5nogZB_oWjMTMuy9JYjMcvrQ2H39tHo7tb3bZC236UQn21x2vgHROBfQV0Riw/s400/002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628879499292532002" border="0" /></a>More Willow Tree scattered about..<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfiOHoAaNertBhseEluxWr-mGZloUhfKyZ6jRG1Hl5lOus3mkbfxtxMTGt4hJ3n1NEqjWB54Yh9Av3rTI_1DIiovnbmMKf8xhE6691sEVuEFjCXAg9yFzZBvuQbTo_HhluU7OPe173urf2/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfiOHoAaNertBhseEluxWr-mGZloUhfKyZ6jRG1Hl5lOus3mkbfxtxMTGt4hJ3n1NEqjWB54Yh9Av3rTI_1DIiovnbmMKf8xhE6691sEVuEFjCXAg9yFzZBvuQbTo_HhluU7OPe173urf2/s400/001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628879495377274578" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Not too much white :(<br />I defiantly need to start adding some more.. lighten my color scheme up!<br />First I need to get the hubby more into the idea!<br /><br /><br />Thank you for checking me out, sorry my link up is a bit boring!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986028329602399322.post-53483793378218016102011-07-10T12:11:00.002-04:002011-07-10T12:22:46.243-04:0012 more days!Until I am 24.<br />I may seem excited about this because of the exclamation point you see in my title.. but in reality, I am not. It's not so much the "getting older" part.. it's just that I never actually do any celebrating of my birthday. Every year my fiance and I will go out to eat and go to the movies, or to the zoo, or wherever else I want to go. I don't go out to bars or clubs or anything.. fun...<br /><br />However, this year even though I have absolutely nothing planned.. I do have a list of things that I want for my birthday, and this rarely ever happens.. I NEVER know what I want!!<br /><br />First of all, I'm getting another cat. We're going to go to the shelters in the area and try to find the purrfect match. I defiantly want an older/adult cat, one who has been at the shelter for quite some time. I am SUPER excited about this.<br /><br />There is a Tim Magraw, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry concert at the end of this month that I REALLY want to go to. I didn't get tickets yet as I want to keep checking Craigs List to see if anybody has anything better than Lawn seats come up, if not I will get them off line.. or maybe have my mom get them for me.<br />There is another concert that I want to go to but its not until September.. but I think those concert tickets would be a good idea, thats less out of pocket money for me to have to spend.. or she can give me money to put towards them.. either way.<br /><br /><br /><br />We only have 3 more months until Florida too, This is am very excited about. I am still not a fan of roller coasters, but I just can't wait to be away from here and just be able to relax, wake up and not have to go to work. What would be awesome would be being able to find a job while down there and NOT coming back to PA. HAA! I really don't want to *live* in Florida though, WAY too hot for me. But it would defiantly be nice to not have to come home... i'd just have my mom pack up our stuff .. and animals.. and bring or fly them all down to us hahahaha. (hey, a girl can dream right?!?!)<br /><br /><br />I need to get projects finished up too. I have a ton of little odds and ends projects that I really want to do, as well as re-doing the entry table.. It feels weird doing it since its something my dad made, but it would SO nice when it was done!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ok, thats enough from me for now.. I will hopefully have some posts soon with my recent thrifts/finds and projects!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986028329602399322.post-79245070792284196732011-06-12T14:46:00.002-04:002011-06-12T15:02:17.518-04:00Weekend of shopping and yard salesMy day of shopping:<br /><br /><br />Bath and Body works: total $25.<br />I actually returned a few things, and ended up getting a few items that aren't pictured (too lazy to take another picture) I got the Pink Warm & Sweet spray (which is AWESOME..

I was very very disappointed this weekend. The community yard sale that I've gone to for the last 3 years, and look forward to after each one and count the days until the next one was such a dud. There just weren't as many families participating this year and I got a late start.. I wanted to be there at 7 but got there around 930 and missed out on a few things that i wanted. I just wasn't in the groove. Theres even a book sale that I was so pumped for, its always been the best book sale i go to all year and this year was just a huge let down. I didnt get ANYthing from there.<br /><br />I got these mugs and a book from one lady. I have MORE than enough coffee mugs and we dont drink enough coffee for them. But I loved them and HAD to have them. They come in a nice storage box too! and i got a book that I dont have pictured.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSIYGiS9mLPM3h2W7IkkS5FWl3Qj6feXrnyxXJpT-Ny4rCaQ4cazsyQ6YCLajB7mvFht-hF2UrN6etoaquR1Nb7C2Fe31qNC9QZCuRrFQ7C_3YVQgcuF3Qv75a99ZxxptN7MUi9tSq5Ws/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSIYGiS9mLPM3h2W7IkkS5FWl3Qj6feXrnyxXJpT-Ny4rCaQ4cazsyQ6YCLajB7mvFht-hF2UrN6etoaquR1Nb7C2Fe31qNC9QZCuRrFQ7C_3YVQgcuF3Qv75a99ZxxptN7MUi9tSq5Ws/s400/003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617406737194187826" border="0" /></a><br />2 christmas village pieces for $1 ea.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34gZAyjZXIt09gzSkngnD_yP4RdcpeS4ZU12WejiuQDmeG9U2Nxj0mFFL7F9VjYstMlimTHoOyCd2ysKSUylgd-ae5a8nMfChEPUfJkuvDgYjbr-VVuMz2_RM_Zq-QgJvXvZ_v5AH6quK/s1600/002.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh34gZAyjZXIt09gzSkngnD_yP4RdcpeS4ZU12WejiuQDmeG9U2Nxj0mFFL7F9VjYstMlimTHoOyCd2ysKSUylgd-ae5a8nMfChEPUfJkuvDgYjbr-VVuMz2_RM_Zq-QgJvXvZ_v5AH6quK/s400/002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617406726193948130" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-pBhyphenhyphencgHLvlTSdX2hh-Az_qSgCiA5nVLmXk9T8qjytJa2lQWGtKmFKn01sbOMDr5xTnW3GKQtsvqUD41ImSJfiOZF84du0O02-EHoLKQJsJ91tTa905b6-AYXsR9lL2HW2qFXpZDIulgO/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-pBhyphenhyphencgHLvlTSdX2hh-Az_qSgCiA5nVLmXk9T8qjytJa2lQWGtKmFKn01sbOMDr5xTnW3GKQtsvqUD41ImSJfiOZF84du0O02-EHoLKQJsJ91tTa905b6-AYXsR9lL2HW2qFXpZDIulgO/s400/001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617406720804170322" border="0" /></a>I also got a fish tank with everything included for $6.

But thats ok the one i have just needs cleaned up a bit and it will be perfect!

I stopped, turned around, did another drive-by. I was going to just grab it while I was out already but I went home to tell the hubby about it first since I didn't wanna just suprise him with this one.<br />So at 2am I went back out on a mission to snatch this bad boy up. Its SUPER heavy, still in really good condition, there are only two spots on it that are scratched up in the upper corner..<br />I vacuumed it good, snipped off all the straggling pieces that were ripped up and its good as new! <br /><br />Hubby said Lucy would never EVER go on it, she was hissing at it at first, but then I caught her sleeping in there so I grabbed the camera. As soon as I walked over to take her picture she got up and jumped down like she didn't want me to catch her in there actually enjoying it. <br />I can't wait for her to realize there are more levels to it! And I am really hoping to get another cat this month. A local shelter is having free adoptions for the month of June and i've been wanting another kitty and my birthday is in July... Perfect present? YES sir! :)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxaP7UsJvGFfJ3MKEZTok3gc4jkEDXbL7x_g1iZL1kG9tF-esgYque_LJBsRoa98iFfZFdVD5SGFUvnAj-J58TTD-8lNvxiWPvuq06dc44i69audxfFH-tzuD_vDTSM1TaBXTLhFhDSUj/s1600/002.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxaP7UsJvGFfJ3MKEZTok3gc4jkEDXbL7x_g1iZL1kG9tF-esgYque_LJBsRoa98iFfZFdVD5SGFUvnAj-J58TTD-8lNvxiWPvuq06dc44i69audxfFH-tzuD_vDTSM1TaBXTLhFhDSUj/s400/002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615519523932020834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4KofmEDRA2DBCCLLVDJ0l8_m3JC8C2birHCxzczvYAUGUuu0pHtDt8Ip2nQRz72PeMRpOI7q95OI4Rh-2qf5RXLlPbpNbUM0EC-WRt1i0aMAPXax1aykDlsYTfOdShXFXJ1cAsFM4M2H-/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4KofmEDRA2DBCCLLVDJ0l8_m3JC8C2birHCxzczvYAUGUuu0pHtDt8Ip2nQRz72PeMRpOI7q95OI4Rh-2qf5RXLlPbpNbUM0EC-WRt1i0aMAPXax1aykDlsYTfOdShXFXJ1cAsFM4M2H-/s400/001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615519467870669474" border="0" /></a><br />*I just saw her getting back inside the house as I typed this. Im so glad shes enjoying it.<br />Now I just need to find the perfect place for it.. Id like to sit it in front of a window.. maybe in the computer room... for now its in the hallway haha.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now.. on to my "project" that im not sure if we'll do or not...<br />We.. well.. hubby.. bought this table when we moved into our first apartment even though I have a perfectly AWESOME coffee table that my dad made at my moms house. He just didn't care for it as his 'living room coffee table" he wanted something more modern. (that coffee table will be coming back once we move again though.)<br />So he went to Levin's and bought a couch/coffee table/end table and rug. I was very proud of him since he did it all on his own, however i wasnt too fond of the table and end table (they are matching, i just didnt get a pic of the end table). I do like it, but black just gets so dusty and shows EVERYthing so easily, and im sorry but I refuse to dust every single day. nope nope nope.<br />I saw some pictures of the wood top with painted bottom tables. I plan on doing our entry wooden table that way, doing a dark stain top with a lighter bottom (not white, hubby HATES white *insert eye roll here*)<br />I brought it up to him about doing the coffee table that way also. Much to my suprise he agreed with me and said thats an AWESOME idea. He checked the table to see what it was actually made from, we should be able to do the stained top with light bottom, worse case scenario we mess it all up and ill just get the coffee table from my moms to replace it for now, or we;ll repaint it if its not too badly damaged.<br />However. This table has those two glass insert pieces (i tried to take the best pictures that I could of them) I dont know if wood and those pieces would actually look GOOD together. We were thinking that it wouldnt. It looks good because its on a black table.<br />So question... Would it actually look decent with a dark wood top? If not, any suggestions on what I could maybe either replace them with? or some other way to redo the table. Remember, no white because he hates white for whatever reason.<br />The glass sits in a little carved out insert in the table so we could maybe make something to sit in there.. or maybe even cover the glass up with something somehow.. maybe fabric? i didnt even think of that until just now.. but then again we do sit drinks and stuff on there, I bet the fabric would get dirty and stain.<br /><br /><br />any suggestions/opinions are welcome for this project!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBr5mhfG4kefG-yuHJFYqOW9Jp0_nNbMgJy285jXBqpSURlJdRmhwpST92DBSAcqeQdQnM3QBogLR2nvULEJklIKQmOCjfUxbYIHDozfTbBfU1HnriE0ZiK33X1jSV_nkahFBdYmMNqwOI/s1600/005.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBr5mhfG4kefG-yuHJFYqOW9Jp0_nNbMgJy285jXBqpSURlJdRmhwpST92DBSAcqeQdQnM3QBogLR2nvULEJklIKQmOCjfUxbYIHDozfTbBfU1HnriE0ZiK33X1jSV_nkahFBdYmMNqwOI/s400/005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615519539031611762" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4r6UljzQSH6D3F0xHCE5NvQCeyV7uCk_nGLuC_SvFA0731Gkhz_SkzyrSpFhiJUuxVlTULAW_5Q_eTRgt6fAXKhto45aeMA9bfQrgsOmLIAHU3p3hK9fIRK4kpYJEm2RiWaLVZkH6od2T/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4r6UljzQSH6D3F0xHCE5NvQCeyV7uCk_nGLuC_SvFA0731Gkhz_SkzyrSpFhiJUuxVlTULAW_5Q_eTRgt6fAXKhto45aeMA9bfQrgsOmLIAHU3p3hK9fIRK4kpYJEm2RiWaLVZkH6od2T/s400/003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615519529218497554" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986028329602399322.post-34727961503244437262011-06-04T15:08:00.005-04:002011-06-05T22:08:35.045-04:00Here we go a yard-saleing 6/4So today was my first day out yard saleing this year. There were a few community yard sales. I spent a total of $12 on everything pictured, so im pretty happy with that!<br />I almost bought a 20 gallon fish tank, had everything included minus a stand (and fish) for $25, I was going to go back and offer her $15 or $20 for it, but I decided not to. There are 2 more huge community yard sales next weekend (and im sure plenty more, but there are two I NEED to go to) so im hoping I can find a tank somewhere next weekend!<br /><br /><br />This lady had a TON of americana/country stuff for sale. I almost bought everything on her table, but I controlled myself and only picked up these two plates, plus the candle and house pictured somewhere else below.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiouwPM1a4Lo96bqAyPqkMGhbbDxUWvzEIlswStPN97GraXtSvPMfE8qBD3QuZoprm_E4giXnq2Zov9IDnqupaj40CuB4WsiY4CuDAeL0rOuMhLIIq74wNMTHanEzSDlV2u0qTgH-HHC_Lc/s1600/012.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiouwPM1a4Lo96bqAyPqkMGhbbDxUWvzEIlswStPN97GraXtSvPMfE8qBD3QuZoprm_E4giXnq2Zov9IDnqupaj40CuB4WsiY4CuDAeL0rOuMhLIIq74wNMTHanEzSDlV2u0qTgH-HHC_Lc/s400/012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614444343553117986" border="0" /></a>I got the two houses, plus the three little people decorations AND the Thomas Kincade house for only $4!

I spent $78 at Giant Eagle for 30 items but I did use quite a few coupons and they were all doubled. so it could've been a lot more.<br /><br />And I think my best deal of the week was my shop & save trip today after work.. I *wanted* to go to Giant Eagle, but their power got knocked out so I had to go to shop n save.. no biggie.. they were having a deal on eggs anyway!<br /><br />I got 2 doz eggs, sour cream and a gallon of iced tea for $4.85 total. To me thats not bad since tea is usually in the $3 range and eggs are around $1.50 or so.. sometimes higher.<br /><br />Everything was on sale, the eggs were already $.98 ea and I had that $.55 for 2 coupon that they doubled, the sour cream was on sale for $1.99, which wasnt the cheapest out of all of the stores, but nothing else was open due to power outages, and thats still not a terrible price! (i saved $.40 on it from s&s's original price) and the tea I only payed $2 for.<br />so overall not a bad trip IMO<br /><br />(I know I am missing a couple CVS receipts.. I know I bought more than this!)<br /><br /><br /><br />I just wanted to make a little update post on some of my trips even if its not as exciting without pictures! :( I will get more pictures next time!!<br /><br /><br /><br />I am also down to my last $30 of my budget for this month already and its only the 16th. <span style="font-style: italic;">yikes!</span><br />So I made a mini-menu plan that will hopefully reduce the need for me to buy anything else aside from milk, eggs, bread and cheese. I am really hoping to do better for the month of May. It wont kill us to go over our budget as I was spending WAAAAAYYYYYYY more than I am now, but I need to get it under control,a nd it will really help us pay down our other bills faster if I can save us more money.. Id love to be able to get myself to a lower budget eventually.. I just need to get better at the grocery shopping aspect.. i suck at it and can never get enough coupons!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986028329602399322.post-28897677259656722432011-04-06T14:50:00.003-04:002011-04-06T15:20:21.256-04:00CVS/Target/Walgreens 4/4 & 4/5<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBZJmPTah2L3lil4RW6bxI-2DT1thAMZrq2tXPnFt7_K-JQwLY0NJxWFxOXxJA-MB3DMWfe_cz_v_zB4HQxN8I2dG4sHrKZPX2nP15QBWVx9fZzwZ6NCNUr3T5yMxRXgna0vll-6ifGBz6/s1600/033.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBZJmPTah2L3lil4RW6bxI-2DT1thAMZrq2tXPnFt7_K-JQwLY0NJxWFxOXxJA-MB3DMWfe_cz_v_zB4HQxN8I2dG4sHrKZPX2nP15QBWVx9fZzwZ6NCNUr3T5yMxRXgna0vll-6ifGBz6/s400/033.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592546055833634738" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">(The palmolive was a purchase from a previous CVS trip it just made its way into my walgreens picture somehow.)</span><br /><br />So this week wasn't as good to me as the last trips that I made (IMO). I decided to try Walgreens for the first time on Monday and was very disappointed. First of all the one manager who was out on the floor kept following me and asking if I needed help and hawk-eyeing me like I was going to steal something. Listen buddy, just because I have a book full of coupons doesn't mean i'm going to be stealing stuff.. I just want to get some good deals, now leave me alone to shop in peace! >.<<br /><br />I know that I could've worked this all out better to get myself a better deal but I guess I was intimidated? I also needed bread milk and cheese and instead of just going to Walmart I picked them up here which I knew was a big mistake but I just didn't want to trek to Walmart and through the hoards of people when I was already somewhere that carried it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Transaction #1</span><br /><br />(2) Aussie 2/$7<br />(1) Colgate toothpaste $2.99<br />(1) Fantastk $2.49<br />(3) Dawn $.99ea<br /><br />Coupons:<br />$1.00, $.75, $1.00, $3.50, $.25<br /><br /><br />Total after tax: <b>$11.70</b><br />got back $5 in RR<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Transaction #2:</span><br /><br />Bread $2.19<br />Cheese $2.99<br />Milk $3.49<br />(4) hot wheels cars 2/$1.50<br />(2) Tylenol PM..
