July Garage Sale Finds

I told you I was hooked! Here are just a few of the things I snagged in July. Some of the clothes and kitchen items I purchased have already made their way into my drawers and they are quite comfy so I didn't dig them out. But this is still a good representation of what I snagged this month.

Everything you see here cost me only $23.25 from 3 different garage sales. In case you can't see, I got a great devil egg dish for my Mom (.50) that she has been wanting for ages, 15 movies, 10 ceramic dishes for baking deserts ($1 for all of them),the twilight books that I just might read now that they only cost me $1.50 and all this other cute stuff!

I know I am behind on the twilight thing but I wasn't all that interested. Since I was able to snag the books at a steal, I might as well check em out and see what all the fuss is about! That's the great thing about garage sales, you can try stuff out you weren't really willing to pay full price for in the first place.

Are you sold yet? You should be!

Three is Perfect for ME!!!

Really it is!!! You would think that after 14 years of raising two sons by myself people would stop asking me things like; "Are you EVER going to get remarried?" "Don't you want more kids?" "Don't you get lonely?" "Don't you want to "you know" again?' " You’re pretty cute, nice, fun insert other complementary words here, why are you still single?" I think this last one may be implying that there must be something WRONG with me but I will assume people just think I am so awesome that they are amazed I haven't been snatched up. I could go on forever with the enormous list of questions people ask me, all relating to my choice to be single. Don't get me wrong, I am finally open to the idea of dating someone great IF that is what God has in store for me but he would have to be pretty freaking amazing!!!! Why? Because I LOVE my little family of three. God blessed me with two amazi...

Social Media: Put yourself out there

It feels like social media has always been a part of my life. I may not manage it well, but I am connected EVERYDAY to EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Like many others, I was very reluctant at first to join the social media craze. At 29, I felt like I was too old to join MySpace, is it still around? Does anyone even remember MySpace? Anyways, back to how my social media addiction began. I have a few younger cousins, who were in college at the time that pushed me into joining. I reluctantly complied; it was the only way I could keep in touch with them. I had no choice but to accept that the days of calling your loved ones on the phone or sending thoughtful letters were long gone. I really didn’t want to lose contact with my little cousins who are like sisters to me. After about a year of contemplation, I reluctantly joined. At first, I did not really like it. It felt weird and kind of silly but I did like being able to find music and I loved all the cute page layouts. ...

Weight-Loss Challenge: Week One Update

The first week of my weight-loss challenge is over! I weighed in this morning and lost a total of 4.2 lbs. I am loving the myfitnesspal app. At first I was not so sure about it because I have used other apps with way more options but I didn’t really use them consistently. This is probably because they had so many options. Myfitness pal is simple to use in every way. I logged in daily and having the phone app is really helpful. I ALWAYS have my phone on me which means no writing things down then having to remember to add it all up later. Every day was different. Some days it was easy to stay within my calorie limit and others it was really hard! Knowing that someone was going to see how I did each day gave me that little extra incentive to stay on track. There were a few days where I logged my food and was in the red. So, I exercised until I was back in the green. This helped me balance out my day but I still felt kind of crappy and bloated after making poor food...
