My in-laws are awesome.


I can't say much more about that besides the fact that..I know how blessed I am to have them. I hear horror stories about how much trouble a lot of mother in laws can be and what not...and I just can't relate. My mother in law is a pure gem. She devulges a lot and also takes the time to listen. My father in law..is just that. Someone I've never had in my life before. Its pretty awesome! AND not to mention my grandmas in law...... After losing my Poppies and my Grandma, it was really hard seeing people with their grandparents. Kyle never really has had to go through death like I have had to. His Nannie and Grammy have accepted me and loved me as if they've know me my whole life.  I just had to say all that. I appreciate them so much.

So here I am!

This whole not being able to sleep like a normal person is really getting to me. Everyone says.."Just go lay down"..Oh really? Because if it was that easy..I wouldn't be awake to hear you say that rubbish to me. I had my blood work done and I found out that I do, in facy, hypothyroidism. Now how they're going to treat it is what I get to find out next week. Have I mentioned lately how much insurance is a pain? We pay a ridiculous amount every month and I end up doing all the work to get whatever papers MY insurance needs, just to have them DENY my claim. Thank you, Insurance. I do appreciate most of what they do, I'm just having a crappy day whit the 3 letters I got at the same time asking for information they shouldve asked me LAST year when I was put on insurance. Whatever.

When it rains it storms. This week has been some sort of crap storm after another and for some weird reason I'm totally okay with it. I think the past few weeks I've been freaked out about getting blood work. Then getting the results. Now I know so I can not stress so much.

So heres to thinking like this..



Old Navy and me.

Can I just say how much I LOOOOOOOOOVE Old Navy?


Im pretty sure its always been one of my favorite stores..especially for just everyday clothes. I caught it this weekend with the 50% off clearance. Schwing!!!!


I got 19 articles for $43. Thats flipping insane! If it wasn't so late I'd take pictures of it all. But rest assured its a lot. Everything from 3 hoodies..to nice shirts..to t-shirts..to polos. LOVE IT!

This proves how great of a shopper I am. I hate spending money when I don't need to. I was going to buy some long sleeve shirts to wear with my vest anyway. WHY NOT NOW? Especially for $2?

My brother just recently got a house and had absolutely no furniture except a mattress, 2 old chairs, and a blow up mattress. I told him to get $200 and I'll come in town and help him out. So last weekend, we loaded up the car and headed to San Antonio. We stopped at one thrift store and were a little sad we didnt find ONE thing. We stopped at Goodwill and there was a sign on the door that said 50% off furniture. We ran in there and got him a couch ($10!!!!! SERIOUSLY), two end tables (Each were $7),  dresser ($30), dinette set ($50), and a desk ($20). These were all after the discount..so  after taxes he was at $130 or so. Then he needed blinds. This is just a rent house and he has 20+ windows in his house anyway...he spend the other $70 on blinds. I was SO proud of him and myself. I even gave him the confidence to start shopping for washer and dryers. He got a 3 year old set for $150!!!!!

I'm really not a "cheap skate". I'm just someone who works too damn hard for not enough money and I'm so glad I've got the time and patience to get the best deals.





on a side note

the weather is PERFECT.

I hope you're having a fabulous weekend. :)
