Giveaway!

So I don't know if y'all are like me, but when new products come out I am always so skeptical to try them

The NEW Lysol Hands free soap dispenser was one of the things I "wanted" to try but did not want to spend $15 to see if I was going to like it.

Turns out I LOVE IT! Its so fabulous, especially in the kitchen. I never realized how yucky my hands get when preparing dinner and its just so darn easy!!



And I HAVE ONE TO GIVEAWAY!!!

Why? Well because I am a couponing goddess and I figure there are some of you that want to try it too and do not want to fork over the $$ to try a $15 soap dispenser?



So what I am giving away to a fellow blogger is One Lysol hands free starter kit, as well as a refill! And some more goodies too! But they will be a surprise!

What Not to Wear Wednesdays!

I'm back!!

I post a week is so not acceptable. I have a HUGE amount of stuff going on right now and I am SO happy. Things are really starting to look up!

Anyways without further adu....



All I can say about this is.. Its her friends fault.. Because OBVIOUSLY nothing she is wearing fits



This is just so strange to me??

Oh and come back tomorrow.. For a GIVEAWAY!! How fun!

Work is sucking the life out of me!

So I ended up sick again. Yep bronchitis AGAIN! So the Dr had banned me from Yoga.

umm its been 1 1/2 months and I think I may go back today...


On a funny note, at work the other night this lady hands me her payment and says

"I'M NOT A STRIPPER!!!"

Ummm ok lady, just because you pay your bill with $60 in singles....

And just for the record, she was SO a stripper. Clear heals, trashy makeup, boobies all out and all!

Oh and y'all know how I love me some thrift stores? Well I found this DARLING little end table that I LOVE and the top is all stained so I bought it for $2.50 brought it home (the hubby thinks its ugly) and upon further investigation I found some stamps on it.

Yeah this table I bought for $2.50 SELLS ON EBAY FOR $2400!!!!!

Its a vintage antique table by Weiman furniture!!!

How lucky is that! Now I just have to figure out what I am going to do!

Do you see that?

So as cool as I think this is (growing up on Harley's and learning to ride a motorcycle before I learned to drive a car)

Its so unsafe...

But it looks pretty damn cool.. the DOG LOVED it!

I wish I would have gotten a video!

Letting myself down

OK so a little pity party for myself.

I vowed on April 1st to start a 28 day detox. Which is basically eating right and exercising more.

Guess how good I am doing?

Oh yeah. Well the good news is I am not gaining any weight and the bad news is I am not losing any.

I know tomorrow is a new day to start fresh, but when you wake up in the morning and all you want to do is eat cookies, and candy this is going to be harder than I thought!

Any suggestions? Its already the 6th and NOTHING is happening to my body! Well I guess I should just scare y'all with some gross pictures of me in a bikinni.. I am sure that will do it for me!

What not to wear Wednesday!

Well as you notice I had to stop at the mall for a few items when I happened upon these 2 little dozzies. This lady (If we can call her that) is ready to drop it like it is hot at the club. I wish I was bold enough to get the front of this outfit because LET ME TELL YOU EVERYTHING WAS HANGING OUT! You could see her belly button it was that bad. And what you can not see in this picture is SHE IS WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN! In 4 inch boots.

I think I am just going to have to get braver and WHIP out my actually camera to get better pictures.. this does not do this justice.
And then as I am getting ready to leave the mall... I walk into this fine specimen based on the clothing pajama clothing choice you would assume this LADY is about 16, 17? No?
No that's her daughter who is about 16,17 and her mother who is about 60 (no joke) must have raided her daughters closet. She is wearing about 5 layers of stuff, with a baseball cap on backwards... What you can not see in this picture is the BLUE crocks. Oh yeah
See even the other lady in the pic did a double take...

The nerve of some people!

Where does the time go?

I have been such a bad blogger! I have been peaking in here and there but as for posts from me I have slacked a little.

Do y'all go through that? Where you have so much to say but can never really muster up the energy to say it?

I have 1/2 a day off today which means I have to work 1 of my 2 jobs today. Its getting so tiring and exhausting it seems, putting in ALL these hours and it seems we can just not get any further ahead?

Friday I have a day off and I am going to pack up all my coupon stuff I have acquired (with the help of the hubs) and take it to the flea market!

I am so exciting to get rid of most of this stuff. I never thought trying to "give it away" or "donate" it would be such a hassle.

Really I started couponing as a way to help others (and our pocket books) and its a funny hobby. Well one of the places I brought a HUGE amount of shampoo and conditioner and body wash to, I checked in to see how they were doing....

THEY WERE SELLING THE STUFF!!! And I am PISSED!

I donate this stuff (they happen to be a food cupboard) so that they could GIVE IT AWAY to people who needed it with their food donations.

Well the lady who runs the place states "Well people take advantage of it and "claim" they need soap and shampoo and conditioner, we have to sell it so people do not just ask for it!!"

WHAT THE F!! I mean really. PEOPLE NEED THESE THINGS! They are a item that its kinda hard to live without, sort of like food and water?

SO they are off my list of places to donate and its just so frustrating to have been taken advantage of like that.

I am a little hurt.

And the hubby HATES it he is constantly yelling at me "How can you watch this garbage!"

Its like a train wreak I can just not look away!

Prayers please

I know we all know there is a war going on and that many of our service men and women are over there giving there lives.

Please go to A little Pink In a World of Camo and send your prayers. She has just lost the love of her life in this war.

It breaks my heart and I pray for her and her newborn baby.

Should I be upset?

I had a dream the other night about a dear friend of mine.

I had flown out for her wedding in Canada in August last year.

Well in the dream she was pregnant. And as soon as I woke up I emailed her to tell her I was thinking about her and to tell her about my dream.

Well she is pregnant. 4 months. And I had no idea.

I am hurt.

I know we are busy, and maybe have not chatted in a while but from the way I look at it, 4 months and no email?

Should I be upset? I am just really bummed she did not bother to tell me before now...

I mean I AM SO EXCITED for her and I cried when I heard but I just feel a little cheated.

Am I over reacting?

So glamorous!

there is nothing more glamorous than bronchitis...again...

People are idiots

Serious things I have heard this week.

"I will have a diet coke, and a water. But not in the same glass. Two different glasses please. One of water, one of diet coke, ok?"

Uumm really lady. I mean you REALLY need to specify this? I mean really? Do I look like and idiot?

Same day different table.

"Can we get 2 waters and a coke. We are just going to share the coke?"

Stupid people YOU CAN NOT SHARE A BOTTOMLESS DRINK!!

Oh and my all time favorite

"Oh can I just have a glass I water and LOTS of lemons? I am just going to make my own lemonade"

I can not make this stuff up! And I would LOVE to tell you this is so random and barely happens but ITS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME.

Ok rant done.

Does anyone need diapers??

So I do not.

And I only know a few people that actually have children in diapers but I was at Walgreens today and Walgreens brand diapers are on clearance!!!

FOR $2.29!!!

I bought all the newborn for baby baskets but this is a GREAT price so if you know anyone who knows anyone who does not care about brands of diapers

SPREAD THE NEWS!!




Regular price $8.99!! This is one great deal!! Its like buying one and getting 3 FOR FREE!!!

Run don't walk to Target ASAP!

I heart target I really do.

Now I was shopping the other day and came across this SUPER CUTE dress that is so adorable.


(sorry pictures do not do it justice)

Want to know why I LOVE IT SO MUCH??

Well it was $20 and it's REVERSIBLE!!




For those of you who travel. Or plan to do so, what a GREAT item to have in your bag. And both designs are SUPER cute.

I love you Target. I really do

Honest scrap!

So someone tagged me with an award last week or the week before I can not remember.

Umm I read about it, stole the button to post it AND CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHO TAGGED ME...**hangs head in shame***

Well anyways here is the award....


The rules:
"The Honest Scrap award comes with a caveat or two. First, you have to tell your readers ten things about you they may not know, but that are true. Second, you have to tag 10 people with the award. Third, let all the people you've given the award to know that they've gotten it (comment on their blogs or something). And finally, make sure you link back to the person who awarded you."

So here we go... Well all but the link back to the person who tagged me.. Unless you "remind" me and I can edit this?

Ok:

1. I have a weird fear of being fired. Strange I know, but I always have this weird feeling I am going to get fired. Although I am an ideal employee and in 32 years I have never been "fired" **well except for that one time but I do not think it counts because I had given notice anyways** it just really scares me. And I am not sure why. Performance reviews make me vomit (serious) and break out in sweat.

2. I am a loyal friend. If you are my friend I will do anything for you, and I will hold you and your feelings close to my heart.

3. If I ever win the lottery I would volunteer my time. I would just love the option to never have to worry about money and be able to give my time, and some of it to a worthy cause.

4. I used to have a HUGE phobia of feet. Serious I used to make people wear socks in my pool. When I met the hubby and he learned of this little "issue" he would rub his feet all over me till I cried. I would ALWAYS try to wear my socks in bed. I am over it now (well thats a lie) I just choose not to look at other peoples feet and if I by chance catch a nasty snarl toe I gag.

5. I collect shoes (but y'all knew that already) I am actually a REALLY picky shoe person. All though I love me some shoes I am VERY picky about what I buy. I MUST LOVE THEM to purchase them. I have this rule. I walk away and if I am still thinking about them in 2 days I will go back for them. It rarely happens. If I LOVE them off the bat I buy them.

6. I am a candyaholic. No joke I LOVE CANDY (hence the size of my ass currently). However I do not like candy that is watermelon or peach flavored. Not sure why just REALLY dislike them.

7. I rock out in my car. Like so bad American idol has NOTHING on me. I sing as loud as I can and throw in some dance moves too. Only when I am alone though... And it makes other people laugh and that makes my day.... It was really bad when I had my convertible.

8. I grew up in Canada born and raised ( YAY CANADA WON GOLD IN HOCKEY!) and went to a french elementary school. I have been in the USA now for 7 years and I have lost MOST of my french. I understand it if you speak it to me but I can barely speak it to save my life.

9. I have been dying to learn sign language. I really need to get on that. Its been something I have wanted to do for a really long time.

10. My life is so blessed with so many friends and loved ones. I married the man of my dreams and I thank god for him every day! I am such a lucky girl!

Ok so on to the tags. I am not going to tag anyone because I think EVERYONE has done this one already but if you have not? Do it and let me know!

House hunting!!

So we have been busy over in Random land.... The hubby got a HUGE promotion at work, so HUGE that it should have not come for about 3 years.

So yeah we are REALLY excited.

It also means we will be staying where we are for about 2 years (at least) so now we are OFFICIALLY LOOKING TO BUY A HOUSE!!


We have just started the process with the pre-approval and we have been BUSY looking, we found our "dream" starter townhouse and now we are waiting to see.

So stressful, but fun all the same!

Wish us luck!! We will hopefully be home owners in the next couple of months!!

Oh and then the shopping I can do!!!

SWAP TIME!

Mamarazzi is having a favorite things swap!!

Weehooo Y'all know how I love to send and get things in the mail!


Click here for all the details!


I am so excited!!

I can see my toes OVER my head!!!

This IS HUGE!!

I have fallen back in love with Bikram yoga.

A long time ago (about 12 years ago) I used to practice about 9 times a week. I loved it, it made me full of energy, helped me stay slim, it just all round made me feel good.

I forgot how much I LOVE IT!

When I started back at my first Bikram class 2 weeks ago I could BARLEY (and that's being nice) stand the whole class, I was dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous. It was bad. But I stuck it out, stayed in the class.

And kept going back.

And 8 classes later I AM BACK!! And I want to scream it for the world to hear!!

This is the posture that has eluded me for weeks



And today I HIT IT! all 4 times.

I think I may have done a little happy dance, and at the end of class while we were resting in the last posture the instructor was talking about "The best thing about teaching is seeing a student work SO HARD, and being there their first class and seeing how far and well they have come"

To be honest it felt like he was talking just to me.

And maybe he was.

Such a busy weekend!

I worked 57 hours in 4 days.

Yeah I am exhausted!! But its good, it was expected working at 2 restaurants for valentines day weekend!!

But I am over it. I have an earned 2 days off that I am looking forward to spending time with my hubby who I have not seen in 4 days.

No joke! I missed him like crazy.

And Valentines day was our 12 year anniversary of our first date! Wow 12 years!! When did we get so old??

I feel so blessed to have him in my life and I am looking forward to 60 more years : )

My plans today:

1. Watch The Bachelor

2. Read my 80 emails

3. Hot yoga

4. Get the eyebrows waxed (they are OUT OF CONTROL!)

5. Get caught up on blogs!

5. Relax with the hubby

Open Letters

Dear guy in front of me at yoga the other night:

You are an asshole. There I said it. I mean if you could not afford the biker shorts to go under your "sports shorts" I WILL BUY THEM FOR YOU!

Its a little distracting trying to focus on postures in the mirror when YOUR BALLS are dangling in my face.

And it was not like carrots its made me gag a few times and I got less out of the class because I was worried about the "harrydanglingballshow"

Get some class.

I mean SOME HOW another gentleman got in front of me at last nights class and he had enough decency to cover those babies up?


Scared for life

Random

Dear Target:

I heart you. I do. You always amaze me at your unbelievable clearance and the fact that today YOU PAID ME TO SHOP! Yep I spent $0.86 cents and made $30.

I love you.

Oh and shout out to whoever decided on the FABULOUS spring fashions.

Love Random

Remember the day I was stabbed?

Remember this post?

Well following is the letter I sent and the bottom is the response that I received. Everything in brackets was not actually sent...

I am writing to advise you of the dining experience we had with your establishment yesterday (February 3^rd, 2010).

Lunch was fabulous, the food was awesome, the server was great (His name was Bob *names changed to protect the stabber) and all round it was a great dining experience.

Until I was stabbed by your server with a knife, he was pre bussing our table and accidentally cut a piece of skin off of my finger with your steak knives.

Now I understand accidents happen, and I accept that this may have been a freak accident however I would assume that if a guest is made to bleed by accident that at least a manager would stop by to make sure everything was ok? When I asked the server for a hand sink to rinse and wash my bleeding finger he lead me to the COKE MACHINE and had me run it under a stream of water from that?

Hardly sanitary I would bet. He even had to ASK ME if I would like a bandage? I mean I am bleeding, pretty bad, as fingers do! Of course I would like a bandage. I also had to request he bring me an alcohol wipe to clean my finger due to the fact that it was washed in a coke machine and there was butter on the knife?

I am appalled at the lack of attention this matter received. I was not offered any medical attention; a manager did not even stop by to make sure everything was ok?

Is this standard practice for an establishment as big as yours? Accepting it was an accident was fine but to just brush this under the carpet as if nothing had happened? It is not ok! Regardless that I was with a group of people is there a reason that this would not be addressed?

What if I was seriously injured? (I was not thank goodness)

Sincerely

Random Musings

The OWNER of the restaurant called me. I felt a little bad because he was also appalled and the fact that it was my first visit to the restaurant and I had such a bad experience.

Well he apologized profusely.

He said he was sending my husband and I something in the mail to "try to make up" for their error.

He also said until he received my letter from corporate that he still had no idea about the incident. He was in the store at the time of the accident and was upset that nothing was said because he would have been the first to stop by.

In hopes of the server not getting too much flack because IT WAS AN ACCIDENT however freaky, they are going to address the issue and use my incident as a training tool about how not to handle accidents. Also it was scary to him that the manager (if the manager was even told which I HOPE was not the case so the server does not get fired based on how angry the owner was) that it was not recorded in any logs or reported to him before the letter.

I could have been a hemophiliac and died a little dramatic I know, or as far as they know I could be HIV positive and washing my finger in the coke machine....

Anywho I am happy at the way it was settled. Even if they chose not to send anything I am glad I received a call and it was heart felt. (that or the owner was a GREAT actor) I still feel a little bad about the bunch of shit the server is going to get into.

But it was his own fault. All he needed to do was say something. Because we all know accidents happen.

I am getting old.

And I can not believe I am going to admit this.

Out loud for y'all to hear....

You all know how much I love me some shoes. Like LOVE. There is nothing that feels better than buying a HOT ASS pair of shoes. As shown here, here, here, here, here, here well you get the picture.


Remember these pretties?

And these FABULOUS, HOT ASS, so friggin cute shoes?
I did the "shoe test" today... Don't laugh, when you love shoes like me and you have as many pairs as I do you start to "test" them. Try them on at home, walk around on the carpet, maybe do a few silly dance moves lol.

Well I tried both pairs on today. And then I got to thinking? Where the hell am I going to wear these? I mean really? Either pair. I mean if I was planning on going to Vegas in the next 6 months maybe? But after teetering around the house for a bit in each pair, the red ones were too big and the purple ones were pinching on one of the toes.... And really they are REALLY not work appropriate. And a little to "bar star" to wear to the movies all casual with jeans?

Anyways.. with a heavy heart..... I returned them.... For something a little more sensible.....



And practical. And I feel pretty fabulous about it! We did our taxes last night and now that Cabos is booked our refund will be covering the rest of of trip. And I thought I could wear the fabulous shoes on vacation but I knew I would not.

They would sit in the back of my closet and taken out to be occasionally to be ogled at, with about 15 other pairs of HOT ASS shoes that never get worn.

I hate getting old.

Blizzard Bloghop! Hi I am Random!

So Household Diva is having a blogging meet and greet!!

So ironically enough we are having a blizzard tonight. Rumor has it 5 inches tonight.... Ugg damn ground hog!

A little about me.
(I am quite the character)



I started blogging 7 years ago. I am from Canada and was getting married

and moving to the US so I starting blogging as a way for friends and family to keep up with what was going on in our lives.

Over the last 4 years I am not even sure any of my family still has the link. Its more of a chronically of my shoe purchases, my adorable dog




that we rescued named Daisy and the day to day issues that go on in this Canadians stuck in the US world.

I am married to my best friend for 6 1/2 years we LOVE to travel,



I refer to him as "the hubby" although I post pictures of myself from time to time I have since gone "semi anon" from working in Human Resources. Although I no longer work in the field I just like to be a little private about our lives.

I rant, I rave I tell the stories of our so called life! I also have taken up the title of coupon extraordinaire and its SO MUCH FUN!

Thanks for stopping by!

What a day! I can not make this shit up!

So the day started with my Wednesday FREE pilates class. It was a great workout, you never realize how out of shape you are till you start working out again....

Well after my class I scooted over to the babysitting place (its next door) and we only had about 5 kids today which was nice. The girl lets call her J that I babysit with explains more about her sons condition. (another post coming about that)

Anyho there is the precious little boy I have a little crush on, hes a little cuddle bug but the minute his mom walks out he crys. The last time he cried THE WHOLE HOUR, this time it was only for about a minute I was able to console him and he fell asleep in my arms.

So the hour passes and his mom comes to pick him up, his baby sippy cup had spilled out on the table and I wiped it with my hand and wiped it on my pants nobigdeal.

His mom says "Oh, that's breast milk"

EWWWW

Ok so moving on, after pilates, babysitting, then a yoga class I head to my Red Hat Ladies lunch that was SUPER yummy. Well at the end of the lunch we are all getting ready to leave and the server was cleaning up and STABBED ME WITH A KNIFE!!!

Really? STABBED MY FINGER WITH A KNIFE!! So I jump up startled my finger is bleeding like crazy and the server says "Oh I'm sorry?"

And I even had to ask for a bandage and an alcoholic wipe to clean up.

No more sorries, no manager no nothing. So I am writing them a nice little letter? I mean I KNOW it was an accident. They happen. But nothing, no follow up? No offer of medical attention? And yes I can be a drama queen BUT I WAS BLEEDING ALL OVER YOUR RESTAURANT! (i'll let you know what happens)

So the hubby and I went to get our taxes done tonight. One more year in the books! Its such a relief. (and we are getting a nice little check to pay for our Cabos expenses YAY!)

On the way home we stopped at McDonalds (I know whats the point of doing 2 classes in a day if you are going to eat McDonalds at 9pm? Don't judge..lol)

We order our food. Pay our bill and the guy asks us to pull up it will be a minute. So we sit there, talking and joking around, one car, two car, three cars drive by and we start to joke that "Maybe they forgot us?"

We wait 10 minutes then I go in.

Oh yeah they forgot us. And we got to eat for FREE!! How sweet is that?

What a day

It was NOT too good to be true!

So remember the Free Yoga I was telling you about?

Well I went to my first free class AND I did my hour of volunteer babysitting and it went REALLY well.

My only concern is the girl who will be sharing the responsibility of the daycare on Wednesday brings her own kids and one of them has autism.

Now before you start bashing me for not having a heart, she spends the WHOLE hour with her son trying to not let him hit, scratch, bite, scream, steal and beat on the other kids! He is SUCH a distraction to EVERYONE in this little room! The room is BARELY big enough for a table and chairs and we had 9 kids in there! 9 with her son hitting and biting the other kids. Which made them cry and lash out.

It was a nightmare so to speak. I was able to take some of the older ones into the hallway to stretch and play games but her son would keep SCREAMING and hitting the other kids that we all had to be crammed into this little space trying to stay out of her way.

The lady who runs the "program" asked me how the day went and she read it all over my face. They have a hard time getting people to stay on Wednesday (which is one of the busier days) to help because of her and the people only say "something came up on Wednesdays" so they can no longer volunteer.

I feel bad but I do not blame them. Really. I mean I was bitten 2 times ALONE! Can you imagine what that does to 8 other kids?


Anywho I am going to stick it out. See how it goes. Its only 1 hour a week.

Winner, Winner Chicken dinner!!

Ok so process of elimination and everyone (all 4) that entered the giveaway there was ONLY 1 person who had not read Dear John yet..

So ABBIE over at Satisfy My Soul will win the book!!

And then only 3 of the 4 had an AMC Theater that they could go to the movies and see the movie when it comes out, I used Random.org

M over at Shopper Girl wins the AMC gift card!!

Yay!!

Ladies please email me at crazyrandommusings at yahoo dot ca your address so I can mail these things out ASAP!

Cabos is BOOKED!!!

And I could not be MORE excited!!

May 15th till May 22!! And the icing on the cake OTHER than taking a fabulous vacation with the hubby?? My best friend in the whole world and her fiance will be joining us in our 2 bedroom OCEAN view villa!!

The fabulous resort!



Oh yeah I would be jealous too!! I am SOOO excited!! Now I just have to lose 40 pounds! lol 3 1/2 months to do it!!

Me and my bestest friend in the whole world and her fiance! This is going to be the BEST vacation ever!

I am NOT a hoarder!!

I like to think of myself as a "collector" lol but in all seriousness our back room was bulging at the seems and the husband was getting a little upset a little out of control.

Exhibit A: (ok maybe a "bit" embarrassed?)


Exhibit B: (notice you can NO LONGER walk into the room?)


Exhibit C:


Now in my defense this is all stuff from couponing!! I am getting so good and I am LOVING giving most of it away. The hubby is too, he is bringing stuff in to the people he works with too. But I have actually been running into problems GIVING it away!!

See I had brought a huge box to a food cupboard that we had volunteered with? Well they REFUSED to give the stuff away.

THE WERE CHARGING PEOPLE FOR IT! So I asked for the reasoning behind it, I mean they give away food why not the toiletries and they said, and I quote " People take advantage of it so we have to charge for it."

And they were charging like $2 for shampoo and $1 for baby wipes!! I did not donate the stuff that I got for next to free for them to make a profit on it!

And then I called this womens shelter because I had TONNES of makeup and "lady stuff" that I had aquired and call to see if they would like it and was told "No we do not take donations like that because of an incident they had YEARS ago"

Want to know what it was? Some lady donated a BUNCH of Avon stuff and then tried to "enlist" the ladies at the shelter to do the business because it would help them get their lives on track?

Oh yeah.

Anyhoo.. Moving on I will find some other places that need it! I was thinking of the Ronald McDonald House and there are a few shelters around here that I have to call.

But in the mean time while I build up my stock again I am going to get a table at a flea market and DOWNSIZE everything I have then only get stuff that the places I contact will be needing...
Voila! There is a bed in there!

Things to do!

I have a WHOLE day off tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it! Its been WEEKS since I have been off a whole day. Working 2 jobs is getting really tiring..

On the To Do list:

- Clean bathroom
- Get caught up on blogs
- Laundry
- Pick up prescription
- Clean spare bedroom (whole post coming on that one)
- Yoga
- The Shred
- Organize coupons...

And many more things... I wonder what I will actually get done? lol Does it ever feel like when you have a million things to do, you never actually get anything done?

Work has been sucking the life out of me.

The other night I had an 18 top which 3 servers had to take that walked in at 9:30!!! Friggin people!! They did not even get "settled" till 10pm and thats when we close!

It was such a nightmare! Uggg

Well things could be worse I guess... I could be this lady!




These pictures are HILARIOUS I mean there were LOTS of handicapped parking spaces why "if you needed" the space would you park your car ON A FRIGGIN SNOW BANK?

Really?

Its a rough life...

I love my dad. For Christmas this year he sent the hubby and I money with SPECIFIC instructions we were to buy ourselves something we want.

No bill paying no nothing.

We were supposed to spend it on something fabulous for ourselves...



Well I found 3 fabulous items ALL FOR ME!!!


Yes!
Yes!
And OH YES!!


I think I may take them all to bed with me.....

National Delurking day!

So I was over at All up in the Koolaid and I was reminded about National Delurking day!!

So leave me a comment and say hello!! And also if you like in your comment tell me what you would like a picture of, it could be my fridge? My car? My fav pair of socks?.... Lol this could be fun!!

What not to wear Wednesday!

Umm yeah... Name brand.. but I have no words for this??

Free Yoga and Massage!

Weehoo...

This sounds a little too good to be true. But in help of me getting back into shape and losing weight I started checking out Yoga Studios in the area.

I have mentioned here my LOVE for Bikram Yoga so in my research I was looking for a Bikram studio that does not charge $17 a class.

Yeah I know.

Expensive. But when you burn over 1300 calories in a 90 minute class and it can make you sob (in a good way) like a baby, $17 is worth it.

But its a little out of my price range at this time seeing how restaurants SLOW WAY DOWN in Jan and Feb and my schedules this week PROVES IT. (I have gone from 11 shifts between 2 jobs (70 hours a week) to 6 shifts (about 30)

Ugg yeah

But this studio I found has FREE YOGA AND MASSAGE for anyone who works the daycare for 1 hour a week.

1 hour y'all. I can do that!

Fingers crossed this all works out.. I could SO use a massage and a good yoga class to get my mojo back!

Bad Blogger

Life has been busy....

Working 2 jobs is for the birds, the hubby and I are waiting to see if we will be moving again in the near future.

Oh yes moving again (fingers crossed) hopefully to somewhere warmer.

I am over the winter its been SO COLD outside and all the snow can go too!

I have not done a shoe update lately so one is coming! I have to get my pictures together..

And this new year like every year I am working on me. I am not getting any older and I have no more excuses for not losing these last 30 pounds (or 40 but ill take 30) so far I have lost 5 in 7 days so if I can keep this up I will do really great.

Any tips on staying motivated to eat right? Go to the gym?

What not to wear Wednesday!

So I was shopping the other day and came across this......

Oh yeah looks pretty innocent no?

Look closly at her purse? lol See the PRICE TAG STILL ATTACHED?



And the plastic "protection" this STILL IN TACT?

Really, I mean really?
