Things I love




One of my favorite things that I *love* is my Bosch mixer. I have had it since my first marriage back in 1994. It has the beaters, the dough blade, some metal things to chop and shred as well as a blender. I actually have 2 blenders to go with it being as I found one at a garage sale for like 50 cents a few years ago. My parents paid a lot for it back in 1994 but it still works just as good as new. It may not be as pretty as it was when new but how many mixers last for over 25 years?

I*love* Huggable Hangers. They are those slim hangers with like a felt covering. They work amazing and allow so much more room in the closet. For a while I was into the wooden hangers but they are so bulky. I now have most of my clothing hanging on pink Huggable Hangers! I have some like you see in the picture and the others are just the hanger without the bottom bar part. I have to go with these clips to hang skirts and little hooks to hang the hangers on each other. I do that to the clothing that is not in season or is still to small for me to wear.

I love Aqua Globes. I have 2 sets of the large ones that came out originally and today I bought a set of the mini ones. I forget to water my pants all the time and these save them. I have a Pothos that was split into 3 parts after we moved here 3 years ago. It never quite recovered but now that they get water all the time it is amazing how well they are doing!
So for tonight those are my 3 favorite items that I have right now that I love!

This was one of my purchases today at Marshalls. I love to go to this store and buy perfumes. I am addicted to not only new scents but to cool looking bottles. This was on clearance for $3.00. I totally love the bottle it is just gorgeous! The scent at first I was not thrilled with but after 5 minutes I decided I really like it. Oh here is my advise for the day. DO NOT spray perfume in the van with the AC running! Yea lets just say it does not taste as nice as it smells!
I decided to get the *professional* description of this perfume being as it is hard for me to describe being as I am still eating it!
The fragrance is described as "...a refreshing, feminine floral. The top notes include syringa flower and mandarin; the heart lily, orchid, peony and cactus blossom. The base is a blend of nectarine, heliotrope and musk".

Bargainless day today


I got up this morning and decided to go to town all alone! I love that little bit of freedom to look at what I want where I want as long as I want to. Well the PCA got here and then informed me she had to leave early today for a Doctors appointment. I wish she would of called me before she came being as I needed more time in town and it would of been easier to take Megan with me.


Oh well C'est la vie right?


I still decided to go to town. I went to Goodwill and found nothing! I mean really nothing was worth my money there today.


I then went to Rite Aid and found some potting soil for 75% off as well as a Burt's Bee's gift set for 75% off.

The gift set has a full size lip balm, *in a nice red*

.47 bottle of peppermint foot lotion,

1 ounce bottle of milk & honey lotion *smells like heaven*

.25 ounce radiance day cream with royal jelly

.30 ounce lemon butter cuticle creme

.30 ounce hand salve.
The picture is not the kit I got exactly but is pretty close to it. As soon as Miss Rena gets here I am going to town again to pay my Target bill and to look around a little bit.
I also went to The Salvation Army but found nothing there either. I stopped off at Macy's on the way home but I ran out of time to look at anything long enough to decide if I wanted it or not. I will post more later today when I get home if I find any bargains today!

Freebie!

I love Victoria's Secret even though I am still to fat to fit into the clothing. I adore the make up, lotions and colognes. I only buy the make up when it is on clearance for a good price. I am on the email list and have usually just deleted the emails and not read them. Today I read what the email said and I am glad I did!
It was an online coupon for $20.00 off any $20.00 purchase. I ended up with 4 eye shadows and a mascara on sale for $20.00. I was able to take off $20.00 and I ended up paying $8.25 for the tax and shipping! Not to bad of a deal if I say so myself!

Sleepy time




I thought this was to cute not to share. I am watching a friends kids for a couple of days. This is Andrew and he is five. We went to town and he wanted to ride in the car cart as Safeway. We were there about 15 minutes and he fell asleep just as I was checking out. Even a couple of people we passed on the way out thought it was cute and funny! Wow to e able to bend like that and sleep!

Blessings!


I am so excited! I just found out that our assistant Pastor has rescinded his resignation as of yesterday. After going home to Montana and praying with his wife they now feel as if the Lord wants them to stay here. He and his wife have been wonderful and I felt a connection to his wife from the day I met her and did not realizes she was the Assistant pastors wife. I am truly uplifted with this news and want to say THANK YOU JESUS!

Rock of Ages Review

This CD is one that I was lucky enough to be able to review. I grew up an 80s child and the music was just up my alley. When I first heard it I kept turning it off thinking how can I be nice about a CD I hate? I kept at it and WHAM! It hit me. This CD is amazingly wonderful and nostalgic. I had to get out of my 80s rocker mind and get into my Broadway hit mode! I am in love with this CD. I am *rocking out in my chair to the music and songs and singers. It is a great way to introduce our kids to our music! Now I have to let Santa know that I want to see this Broadway hit!
Oh wait I know you want to know what songs are all on it! Sorry I am having to much fun singing to the CD! Oh yea my kids think I have gone nuts!
Cool info: New Line Records just hammered the in-store release of the Original Broadway Cast Recording of five-time Tony Award nominated "ROCK OF AGES."

Set in 1987 in a legendary Sunset Strip rock club, a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer and they fall in love to the greatest metal songs of the 80's.
