Tidbits

* It doesn't really matter that it's September and not all that cold. It was freezing in our house a couple of days and I actually turned on the heat.. *GASP*

* I love Dollar Tree. I just bought several new baskets for scrap stuff. The interesting thing? I went into two different stores and they were both really clean. Normally these stores aren't so tidy and clean. I thought that was interesting.

* I shouldn't make a goal to not eat sweets when I am PMSing.

*I have my Christmas list already! Although if you knew me this isn't anything new. When I was a kid I had it up probably right after my birthday in August! Ha. I want 3 things this year:
1. A couple of new journals.
2. Some new lotion from Bath & Body Works.
3. This picture blown up really big to stick in my scrapping room.

I simply adore this photo! So I told D I wanted it for Christmas. In a nice frame blown up. We went to the thrift store yesterday and actually found a really nice wooden frame that he's going to paint black. It's a 12x18 which is the perfect size. And it was dirt cheap which is even better. Cause you know getting frames done is WAY expensive!

* I am not going to lie. I am ready for fall to come. So I can dig into my fall decorations and decorate the house. Make a new center piece for our dining table. Go to the pumpkin patch and drink warm cider. And pull out my turtlenecks, I love turtlenecks and have about 5 of them in different colors. My favorite color is my gray one.

* Pumpkin spice whatever's at Starbucks are disgusting. G R O S S. I tried every one of them we sell cause we "have" too. The hot latte, gross. The cold latte, gross. The frapp, gross. The creme based frapp, gross. I don't understand why peeps are SO excited. When I think of pumpkin spice I think of sweet pumpkin pie with loads of whip cream on top. Not bitter icky pumpkin spice at Starbucks. It's hard for me too, cause if peeps ask me how it tastes I have to dance around the fact that I think they are G R O S S.

* Everywhere I turn these days I see peeps making cards. So many peeps are into making cards. It takes some teeth pullin' to actually get me to make a card.

* If you walked through my entire house I could point out almost everything {cause it makes up a lot of our house} where I bought something second hand at a thrift store, boot sale, or junk place. That includes clothing as well. I like a good bargain and that's no joke. And I like the fact that if you actually walked through my house, you'd never know I shopped or wore clothes from those places either! That makes me happy!

* I have quit WW. I have done this now oh about 3 different times. I realized I use it as a crutch and even though I was paying only 16.95 a month for it, I wasn't putting in my foods all the time or keeping up with it. I realized the other day it had a hold on me. Like I was bound to it and felt that if I actually quit it for good I'd gain 20 thousands pounds again. Ummm. I am over that. I give God the control of eating portions, eating horribly, and beating myself up when I fail.

* We finished reading Wicked. I felt compassion for the witch, honestly. It was a wonderful peek into her life.

* I still talk about my mom. I still miss my mom. It still hurts. I cry a lot still. But the other day I had a HUGE breakthrough with something I was holding on too and feeling trapped by it concerning my mom. God took that away because I asked him to. I am no longer bound by the guilt I had with one particular day.

* I will at all costs try to get out of cooking during the weekends. D knows this and will loving make all of our meals.

* Watching LOTR as a family was really exciting for us! It was A's first time and she actually got it. She wants to read the books. I disliked the books myself.

* My job I've learned is not something that I have to talk about, live through, or bring home constantly. I work 12-5:30 that's it. It stays there and ends there.

Well friends it's time to close and get busy!
