shrimp and looking for deal websites

Going to the Red Lobster all you can eat shrimp special that they have periodically throughout a year. $16.99 for all the shrimp you want!? 

I'm trying to find the websites that tell you how to stack up and get things for free or peanuts with steps and codes.....Any help?

purse junk wow

Yeah so my fav Louis Vuitton purse is fast/slowly falling apart grrr. I love it to death and beat it to hell and back. Oh well style is worth it. :) I have so much crap in that purse it's very amusing......I have my coach coupon clutch, yes I hold coupons in something stylish too. Pens, mints, lip gloss, shampoo sampler, wads of money that is in the hundreds, alcohol sample bottles my dads gf gave me, cork from good wine, movie ticket stubs, business cards from FLD, advil, hand sanitizer, SHU open house info, toothbrush, a jump drive, vitamin E tablets, 2 things scissors, old candy, lip liner, beer chip, and more!

love of coupons

Have I told you all how much I love coupons!!! I do, please give me your coupons if you have no love or time for them:)

Finally I get a day at home to do whatever I like. I know I should go to recycling or run errands or go grocery shopping or driving (yes I HATE HATE HATE/PHOBIA driving far) I swear I have adult ADD and don't concentrate at all especially driving. lol 

I have Christmas cards addressed and ready to send as soon as the time is appropriate. I have lists of christmas presents to buy. I have bags, wrapping paper, ribbon, and looking for decorations!

I can't wait for the 3 holidays coming up!!! Just got candles that are battery operated and on a timer for 8 hours to put in our windows from Brookstone. only 40/so bucks for 4 which is the best I've found!

I am thinking of recipes to make and give away. I can't wait. :) Gotta make the most of the lousy winter weather. 

I want to get a pair of those fun shoe things that look like waffles to walk in the snow. 

Been craving butternut squash soup so bad and pasta. The cold weather makes me want those things. Been working out everyday too. :) Trying to get fit. Least the tush is firming up fast. Can't wait to get even more fit.

Bought that jergens natural glow moisturizer that is a self tanner and firmer. Got the medium-tan skin tone one for body and the natural glow express for face. My girl friend used it and it was AMAZING! She looked so tan.

Giant Eagle trip

Oh my just got back from Giant Eagle! I spent 92.91!!! But Alot of it will prevent me from eating out and also last awhile. :) I also think I'm switching to Digiorno Pizzas instead of the local. Just easier and cheaper! 

I do have 10 cents off gas now though. So that's a plus. 

AM

Life has been extremely busy trying to get back into the swing of things. I hate knowing that winter will come. lol

As I sit here I see my chick fil a lemonade. I can't get enough chick fil a. hmmm I wish Giant Eagle sold gift cards there....

So much to do. Gotta fold laundry, run errands grocery store and dollar store a few others, gotta exercise. I work at 1-5 just to help them out. I haven't had breakfast yet not sure what I want. Prob just a english muffin. 

Had my mammy in the hospital so that's been a huge stressor. It gets to you. 

I'm still trying to get rid of junk and extra things around here. Still want to have an online yard sale of my clothes and stuff. 

Signed up for some swaps and I'm excited.

Tuesday musings

Life has been busy as we know it. Started back teaching part time music. I love it. I still love doing private lessons more because they want to learn.  The lil kids k-4 are heaven could do that 24/7. older ones are jaded. 

Been cleaning more.  Tackled the kitchen since I'm cooking lately. It's amazing what a cleaning lady misses! I think today I'm gonna make cookies and chillovers. Got the chill over mix from Mary Janes Farm. It doesn't have animal products in it :) 

Laundry, cleaning, bills, christmas cards (YES) getting them set. 

Ate with my girl friend at the Forks and had amazing mini burgers and onion petals and a side salad. It was really good, I'm STILL full.  I need to drink some more water.  Drank 3 glasses today already. 

Burning some cds for driving. 

Still have to make the tiara for MJF swap. Think I have some pretty stuff to add to it. 

Haircut next tuesday with Carla at Pam's golden touch. She does a great job! I think it will be around shoulders and dark brown if all goes well.  Been meaning to get back into tanning. Or a good spray tan. Hm 

Went to the dentist NO cavities still and I'm 26!!!! :-D yay

thurs thoughts

I'm so excited to get this darn (insert expletive) paper finished.  It by far was torture for summer. ugh. I'm thoroughly burnt out on my masters. 

Work is slow because of everyone cramming things in before school starts. 

Can't wait to check out NC in the south. This will be my first time. Lol Who gets to travel and see the british isles and bermuda and such but not the south?! This girlie! haha 

I have a list of lil things I want to hammer out, but where is the time? Been kinda sleepy lately I think because we aren't having anymore sunshine filled days. :( Bring back the true sunshine! I think I'll go back to tanning. 

Been really hopping into my business plan and my love of romantic/creative/shabby chic style! LOVE IT. There are some amazing people out there.

Midday Thurs musings

So it is a nice cool sunny day! Pretty nice for August. No dog days yet. I wish I was outdoors though enjoying it. I hate being inside in the summer. winter no prob! I had another Abigail's chicken salad sandwich today, just been craving them. lol 

Slow day in the shop. Doing homework, dusting, reading about finances, and dreaming.

I bought a ton of clothes from Junk Gypsy a secret goal is to buy all the clothes that they offer :-p I love their stuff and the fact that noone else really has their stuff around here.  That reminds me to make my own Ligonier clothes:)

I have a massage tomorrow at 1pm!!! hmmmm Can't wait. 

Paid my CC bill well half of it. I plan to hack it all away soon!:)

Bday is coming up on the 24th :) I'll be attending the Renaissance Festival that day to celebrate. Can't think of a finer way to celebrate anyway.

hump day!

Hump day! 

Well I just ate an Abigails chicken salad sandwich, always been my fav! I had to take a gift over to a merchant that her hubby bought her for their anniversary so cute!!!! 

My back is KILLING me and makes me feel ill. Oh well. I'm hammering out the homework. Hard to believe I have 1 class left till I'm DONE! woohoo. 

I'm happy August is here but also sad. My birthday is on the 24th so that's always nice but then school starts haha ugh. Love the kids but love the summer more hehe. 

Got my plane ticket for NC and can't wait. Life is stressful lately but this too shall pass.

Monday musings

Back is KILLING me tonight, just relaxing when I should be putting the final touches on my paper and get it together oy! 

Babysat the boys today and took them to Lig beach. They were super good and we had a great time. We had fun with the rented raft and ate chicken fingers with fries and had dr. pepper. I'm whooped though! 

I def got sun though from being there! Hair is bleached out and my back is a lil red. 

I have my plane ticket to NC all purchased and I can't wait.  I'll visit my honey and see my cousins aunt and uncle and my cousin's new baby Bella. :)

evening

I completely 100% decluttered this house!! From around 9-4 with only a break for lunch at Ivys with my mum. I got the portobello and stacked veggie sandwich with the delicious half sweet potato half reg potato chips hmmmmm and a big luscious pickle to eat! It was delicious and the tea is always good! 

I got rid of so much stuff. Trying to downsize my stuff. Ideally I'd love to fit all my belongings in a room. hehe not a house. If I ever move that will help.  

Started out the morning with a nice walk with the dog and ipod. Thinking of going again really soon! I still have some more decluttering to do. Hoping to lose a few pounds, less calories in and more active. 

Def will have a lil wine tonight while I relax. 

Paper is coming along great, but I have been obsessed with the mobster game on myspace hehe.

morning

Getting my paper written, it's a lil mismashed, but it will come together.  I'll be glad when it's done. Is it December yet? hehe 

I have the FG christmas in july swap all set and ready to ship!! I put alot of nice stuff together for it.  

Tomorrow the man of my dreams pops in.  I am debating whether to shop (prob shouldn't) or go to Lig beach (if it doesn't rain).  I'm leaning towards the latter.  I do need to clean the house, I could clean in the morning then lunch time go out to the beach for a few hours. 

I'm seeing such a difference in the thighs from doing pilates. My back is killing me today though. :( 

Working today then cleaning and homework tonight. 

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

evening

I did my pilates tonight for the buns and thighs and then I did some turbo jam, but I was so wiped out I didn't continue.  I see such a fast difference when I use pilates! Now if I could lose actual pounds that'd be nice.  

I need to really get rid of stuff.  I could make some moolah and declutter! :) That's next on the list. This paper needs to finish then I'll clean.  

I have the package for my Farmgirl Christmas in July swap all set. I sent out the sympathy card to my gf from the Tavern, she lost her father.  I just counted my spare money and am happy with what I have.  Now debating whether to invest it or pay for my car insurance BLAH! hehe. That'd be awesome if I sold stuff and got enough for the insurance cost. 

Bought a LV backpack and am so excited! :) woohoo

todays musings

well today is work, I spent some $$ at Barnes and Noble. I did homework there and browsed. I got my fav magazine Romantic Homes and then went to the financial section...my weakness haha. I love to read up on finance.  The one I dove into is Guide to Investing. 

I'm trying to finish up my paper for my class ED933.  It's fun but a lil dry. Why can't I write about purses? Not many abstracts on that. Sigh. I just bid on a LV purse (backpack).  I think I need those for my back.  

Not in the mood for cheesy jazz style music that is being played on the diamond. It's making me tired. 

This weekend I get to meet up with my man :) So excited. :):) can you tell? 

  • Need to clean the house
  • Print coupons and make grocery list
  • clean my room
  • do laundry
  • Exercise

update!

Life has been hectic. 

Went on a vacation with family for 5 days to Lancaster. Visited our Amish friends, shopped at the outlets and local stores, went to Chalfonte to the Byers Choice Factory/Tour/Store.  

Came back and worked like normal.  School has been keeping me tied down with research and writing. OY! I'll be glad when it's all done. 

I've been babysitting on Mondays. Haven't gone to Lig beach in awhile.  Next monday I'll take the boys there and get some sun!

I went to G-burg with fam and spent time at B&N and did homework, got a iced caramel macchiato tall, got my fav magazine Romantic Home and about a bazillion finance books, I love reading about it.  

I keep eyeing up Jimmy Choos that would go great with my knockout Ralph Lauren pants!!! Cha cha heels ya'll.

thoughts

Well it's been super busy for me. Hard to believe that it is July already. I was planning on using my pass to Ligonier Beach, but it is overcast and threatening to rain. I'd be glad if it just rained at night, it is getting old. So far I have gone 5 times to the beach. I need to go at least 25 to pay me back for the pass. 

I was stressing about money and jobs and time and I got a nice lil check from my McDonald's stock. Pleasant surprise from the Universe. What you ask you will get. Called my Auntie in Maine, she'll be here tonight from flying down. I called my Aunt in NC but she was busy getting the grandkids ice cream at the store. Then called my g-ma (dad's mum) to check on her. She's had small health issues. 

I am trying to practice the musical music, but am running into time issues and have a new class that I am behind in. Shoot! I may have to bite the bullet and say goodbye to concentrate on this class. Poop that really makes me think I need to do that. This is class that I am paying for and trying to get ready to do my practicum. OY! 

I am OBSESSEd with Junk Gypsy and their fashion. I adore it and have spent good money on it. That reminds me I bought some couture pants from Ralph Lauren and much to my sadness my butt would not allow the pants to be worn, sent them back with a lil note that I have a big butt and need two sizes up. I'm waiting impatiently. Everything else fit except for that dumb thing! lol I am not a stick I have womanly curves thank you! They were gorgeous and packed better than anything I've ever seen on a hanger and bag cover thing. They have tack going up the leg and are a dark jean color.
