Did you wonder what I found on the 400 mile yard sale?

It wasn’t deer antlers.

Sadly.

I was hoping find some and paint them orange.

Maybe next time.

But I found something I wasn’t even looking for.

A sofa table.

Well…..it wasn’t a sofa table at first.Continue reading

Umm….if you were in western Kentucky at the mall yesterday and saw a blonde-haired-red-lipstick-wearing-super-short-but-trying-to-look-taller-wearing-high-heeled-flip-flops-person…..

….singing and dancing the lawnmower in The Children’s Place store.

That was me.

Truly.

I couldn’t help it.

The shoes were only $4.99.

And….wait for it…..wait for it…..

….I had a 20% off coupon.

*sigh*

Does life really get any better?

When my daughter rolled her eyes….I told her she should count her blessings…..

…..I was this close to a full choreographed number. :) Continue reading

If you are trying to eat healthy…..does eating the candy from the bottom of the Easter basket for breakfast qualify?

Seriously.

I mean….it’s not the good candy.

That’s long gone.

It’s the random generic foil covered chocolate eggs and left over pieces of taffy and the black licorice.

The bottom of the barrel.

Not that I would know anything about left over Easter candy like that.

That was simply a purely rhetorical question.

After all….remember….we eat Bok Choy around here.  :) Continue reading

I am so happy you are here today.

Truly.

Not just a little happy…..

                                                                         ……I’m the kind of happy that happens when you’ve been trying for months to collect milk glass and all the milk glass you can find is priced like it’s going to be auctioned at Southeby’s and then…..then you happen upon a yard sale where the lady is trying to get rid of all her milk glass because she is so over it…..so she prices her collection at the entire yard sale for only .50 each.

Milk glass for .50.

That’s the best kind of happy.Continue reading

Have you ever met Jennifer before?

I am so lucky to call her friend.

She is amazing.

Truly.

Actually….she is a way better word than amazing….a word like stupendous or extraordinary or stupefying.

Or something even better than those.

I’m telling you….Webster’s needs to give her a word.

Just for her.Continue reading

I had really big plans for this post.

I contacted some of my sponsors and asked them if they wanted to offer a discount code to all of you and then we could all shop together and get great discounts and talk about all our amazing finds and celebrate by drinking coffee.

Now the sponsors I have are amazing.

And wonderful.

And they offered discount codes and stocked their shops and told me how much they would love to have you visit.

But me?

Did you see that name?

I’ve always wanted a Wolf range.

Seriously.

Can you even believe I’m saying this?

Or that I even know what a Wolf range is?

Me….the one with the macaroni and cheese kitchen.

The one who is famous for her gas station pizza.Continue reading

Spring Fling Linky Party

Spring Fling Linky Party

spring thing round up

I totally wanted to do a linky party with pictures of everyone’s Christmas decorations that are still up.

We could show our wreaths and our garlands and our red bows and our random ornaments hung from chandeliers.

Wouldn’t that be fun?

But then I realized that I would be the only one there.

Because you are amazing.

And so much more organized than me.

And you took down your wreaths in December…..and moved onto decorating for Spring…..because it’s umm…March.

So let’s have a Spring Fling linky party instead!Continue reading
