Wish List

Not a day goes by where I don’t find myself admiring something and thinking “I want that!” Normally, a person might feel guilty about this but since I never act on the thought I’m not too ashamed. I just store it all away in a little file in the back of my mind rightfully labeled “wish list”. A few things added there recently:

Sparkle converse
I saw these at TJMaxx the other day for $24 and I passed them up. Not sure why…

Earrings
I love these for their uniqueness but a part of me (the imaginary pro crafter) thinks I could make a pair myself and be just as satisfied

Smores
Yes please! I haven’t had one all summer long and probably won’t. Future wish list item: a smore scented candle!

Country fresh
I stole a few spritz of this scent from my best friends stash of lotions under her bathroom sink while she was in the shower (my job is to gossip with her while sitting on the toilet lid) and I loved the summery scent! Whenever I think of stopping into the store and buying it I have to repeat the mantra “I have too much lotion as it is! I will never use all the lotions I have! I don’t need more! I smell just fine!”

I LOVE this blog! I've heard people be described as fun and bubbly but never witnessed it until now. She is so positive and, well, happy that I literally smile through each "Thursday Latelies". As Teresa from "Houswives" would say "I love, love, love it!"

Part of the Reason Why I Love Golf

Thrifty Girl

I've never wanted to go into a thrift store in the past. In a way, I felt I was steeling from those who could not afford what I could; stealing from those who could only afford to spend $2 on a blouse. Not to mention, I was afraid of picking up lice or another creepy crawly from the clothes. {I'm just saying its completely possible that a contaminated sweater is donated and put on the racks with everything else!!} That feeling has completely left me now. After scanning through a bunch of fashion blogs, I actually yearn to go to the local Goodwill and search through their racks for a great find. Treasure-hunting if you will. After class today I stopped by a store and found a neat tote bag. I really don't need another tote bag, but this was a cute blue and white nautical striped bag, too cute to pass up. Especially since it was only $1!{I only wish I could find my camera to post a picture of it to prove my point!}I also picked up two new, never been worn, blouses. Since I've been losing weight I don't want to spend a fortune on a new wardrobe every time I go down a size.
Here's to more great finds in the future!

Ring-a-Ding

I could never stomach the thought of spending money on a ring to remind me of school. I’ve got a permanent callus on my finger from holding a pencil for that. But when mom found the ring on Ebay we couldn't resist! I decided to cave and buy my college class ring (for half the normal price), not to remind me of the school, but instead to remind me of the great friends I met there. A good polish and it'll be perfect! It’s no traveling pair of pants, but I think it will do just fine.

Zzzzz....

On my long list of things I love, napping has claimed the #1 spot. However, there are some things about naps that I don’t understand. Like how can someone (mostly old men) nap in chairs? Uncomfortable-waiting room-armless chairs! Its not a nap to me unless you are comfortable and preferably lying down. I also don’t consider it a nap if it has a time limit. Once I’ve decided I can only afford 20 minutes for some shuteye, it takes me 20 minutes to tire of wondering how many minutes I have left. Now that I think about it, I’m a little tired….
