Went Christmas shopping yesterday... deals, deals, and more deals!


Well let’s see what is new to talk about? Yesterday I worked on some center pieces for a big event that is happening on 11/9 at my work. As soon as I get a picture of them I will post it. They were beautiful and oh so easy to do! Tyler got upset at me (like yelling at me upset) because I was working through lunch on them and not going to lunch with him on his day off. So since the centerpieces got done earlier than we thought and since I did not have too much to do back at the office I took off the afternoon to make him happy. We ended up Christmas shopping! I am telling you I got some good deals! I am a bargain queen and I almost will refuse to buy anything if it is not on sale or clearance. We have several cousins to buy gifts for and we found some flash drives for like $2.48 (!) so we bought a whole bunch. They are not huge on the memory side but they still should be good enough to hold a few papers for school. I got a battle ship game set for $3.99 too! I also went down the clearance Halloween aisle and found some really cute baby outfits for like $.74… I don’t have a baby but someday I might right? They are all orange anyways and you know me I love orange so my kid (if I ever have one) will always be decked out in orange! And heck last year I bought a baby costume for $.97 and Tyler’s cousin used it for her baby this year, so it all works out. Plus I got myself a few long sleeved t-shirts for like $.70 in the Halloween stuff, I figure they will work under other shirts year round and for that price why not? Anyways I think we crossed off like 15 people off the list yesterday… what a relief!

I also bought some letters that I am going to decorate for my niece’s 1st birthday party on Saturday. I got as far as gluing the paper on the front of them before I decided to stop working on them. I get really bored really easily… not good when you have 8 big letters to decorate in 3 days. Oh well. After I glued the paper on the letters I went upstairs and watched Ghost Hunters aka TAPS. I so love that show! It was really good they caught an image of a large man sitting in a rocking chair on the thermal camera… but no one was sitting there! I know I know I am a dork but I love anything ghost related!

I am also excited because tomorrow I get to hang out for a little bit with Tim. He has been super busy with work and fixing his car we have not got to spend too much time together lately. But tomorrow night no excuses, lol do I sound a little mean, we will be hanging out. Don’t have a clue what we are doing yet but it will just be nice to hang out. Cause this weekend is busy for both of us, Saturday I have the birthday party and he has some guy coming to look at his car and refigure the program for the computer… yeah I don’t really get it either so don’t feel bad. Sunday if my great grandma is up to it I thought I might take her down to Newkirk, OK and go gambling at Native Lights Casino (Vegas just got a little closer!) The last time I went I came home with $450 more than I took with me so that was exciting. Maybe I can be a big winner again. I love playing the Wheel of Fortune quarter slot machines… cause if you play $.75 a time and this little wheel of fortune sign comes up it yells out Wheel of Fortune! And a special wheel at the top spins around and you win more money! Kind of fun… I am a dork and sit there and go big money big money big money as it spins around… just seems like something that all the contestants always say on the show.
The picture is from my trip to CO over the summer! Grandma insisted I get my picture taken in the big chair with the big sunflowers since I am from KS. I felt like a little kid in the chair.

Ok enough rambling for now. Hope you all have a great day!
