Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Lets see..Theres a lot I'd like to forgive myself for...I think the lousiest thing I've ever done was write my Grandma a letter after I graduated high school. I didn't even get a card or a call or anything from her. I was so upset. It was totally unlike her and not in her character. She was one of those people that would send a card and it'd be at the destination WITHOUT FAIL on the day it was supposed to be delivered. I wrote this letter out of anger and hurt and it all honesty I sent it to the wrong person. I should've sent it to my father, which is really who I was mad at. My grandma wrote me back and sent a $100 check and told me that she had colon cancer and had been going through chemo and radiation. To this day, that is the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. I was young and stupid but I just can't get over the fact that I did that.

Day 2
Since its past midnight now, I'll do day 2. :)
Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
I love the fact that I love to put others first. Not to a fault or anything, but I love doing for others if I can.

Day 1
Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.
I hate that I'm always anxious about everything. I used to not be this way, but the older I get the worse it gets. Its not dibiliating by any means, but it is definitely a pain in the ass. I finally talked to my doctor about it and she prescribed me an antidepressant..but I only sold it to me as a 'mood stabilizer'..After reading more about it, the side effects were worse than the symptoms. Blah!

Blah!
I need to write a little more.
I feel like Im always saying that..this time I'm really serious.
Time seems to be flying by. First it was Halloween, then Thanksgiving..and now Christmas. I looked at the calendar and DANG! We have it book solid. I'm not sure if I'm excited or if I'm not. I love this time of year and how it makes people feel. I also love the get togethers and seeing people you haven't seen in a long time. Speaking of seeing people..my cousin should be home from Afghanistan this weekend. Woohoo!
Anyway- to get me to WANT to write a little more. I've decided to start the 30 Days of Truth, borrowed from Noticing the Little Things.
Heres how it goes.....

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. :)
