Target LOVE!

Today was a rare day off in which I didn't have tons and tons to do so I could take everything nice and slow. I went to Target and very much enjoyed a 2 HOUR! shopping adventure. My goal was to get the Giada De Laurentiis cook set that is on sale this week, but once I got in front of it I just couldn't get it into my cart. I really need a 12 in skillet and it didn't come with one, plus do we really need new cooking pans? The answer to that one is YES but I am still living in my must save money at all cost mode and the very old/goodwill pans will stay in the house a little bit longer. I am very happy to say that I bought the Pryex 11 piece baking/ storage set though. It was so much easier to put $17.99 in your cart then $149.99. In the end I got some very much needed fun socks and work socks and TONS of egg nog creamer and drink for jrod. I could walk around Target all day and just be so happy, the bonus was that they had free samples of pumpkin pie and pecan pie! It was an amazing morning!!

New Shoes!

These are my AMAZING new shoes that I got yesterday from Whole Earth Provision Company. We went there in search of a new pair of hiking boots for Jrod, which I am very happy to say that we found! I have been looking for new fun weekend shoes for almost a year now, my heart has been set on getting a pair of kick ass boots but when I saw these I knew that I had to have them. Hello!!! They match my new nail polish to a T!! Thank you very much Essie Merino Cool! This all came about after our trip to Lost Maples National Park, it kicked my butt in a good way. I was very thankful for my new hiking shoes but Jrod learned very fast that his shoes of 13 years needed to be retired. I have to go back on Tuesday because the hiking pants/shorts I got don't fit and I think that I am going to see about getting Jrod a jacket he was eyeing and a hat that I thought I could find cheaper but was very wrong. I also found another pair of AMAZING shoes, these were clogs by clarks but on Saturday I am going to the outlets and I am hoping to get a pair of cowboy boots!

Kinect Adventures Today!

I try not to talk about work too much here, but today I had a BLAST! We got a small demo by the Bandera Cattle Company, it was amazing! We had a 'real' gun fight on my lawn, and tons of people came out to watch and get there pictures taken. http://www.banderacattlecompany.com/Home_Page.html They do two shows on Saturdays in downtown Bandera, Tx the cowboy capital of the world!

Then my boss and I played Kinect for a while, which was also a blast! I played it with a couple of my staff too, and it was so funny! http://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect I have it at my house too, we have been playing it about a hour a night for the past couple nights.

It has been crazy lately, but I am so excited for it is my Friday tomorrow! Then we are going to go to Lost Maples State Park on Wednesday, I can't wait.

Crazy Days

Good Day my friends! Sorry that I have been away for the past couple of days, I didn't get a day off of work this week so I had to spend my nights doing the non fun of food shopping and wash. I do have to say that before my day off got cancelled I did have a BLAST! On Tuesday night I got to learn how to sew thanks to Joann Fabric's classes! I didn't have enough time to look at the sewing machines once class was over but I am going to go back in two weeks and pick one up. I woke up on Wed. morning nice and early with Jarid and got all ready for my first ever ZUMBA class. I LOVED it!!! I couldn't shut up at work about it for two days! I wish that I had more mornings free so I could go to the 8 am class more often. I had an amazing teacher Usha, and we did ZUMBA moves and belly dancing moves, for she was from India! I got to wear the skirt and shake my butt so I made tons of noise. The best part is that it is 5 mins. from my house! http://www.mystudiozero.com/index.html

Now pictured above is my next project that I need to get finished by tomorrow for I can't have it up for that long before Christmas comes! Is it super cute and it's super simple! I found it at : http://www.indiespotting.com/diy-projects/make-fall-yarn-wreath/#more-2122 I bought almost everything at Joann's on Tuesday, I just haven't had time to make it yet. That is the only thing on my to do list for tomorrow besides work of course!

I am really looking forward to my next two days off, don't get your hopes up they are not in a row. We are going to go hiking at Lost Maples National Park! http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/lost_maples/ where you can really see an almost New England like fall with all the leaves changing! Very exciting for me since I am from PA! (Go JoePA congrats on your 400th win) The next day off after that we are going to http://www.gruenemarketdays.com/, but now that I went to there site I think that it is in two weekends. Oh no! I don't know if I can go then, grrr... I will have to double check tomorrow when I get to work.

Hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!

Halloween Night!

Happy Halloween!

Having an amazing morning! Laid up in bed for hours this morning under happy warm covers listening to J snore, which always makes me smile. We got up and deep cleaned the downstairs, then had some Trader Joes Pumpkin waffles and grapes for breakfast. After breakfast I made candy corn bark again, or as I have come to call it candy corn crack! http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/boo-halloween-treat-and-giveaway/

We went out to Walmart last night on an Oreo run for J really wanted to have some more candy corn bark. You will be hooked, this is your warning! Also use the white chocolate from Wilson's that you get at Michael's it is so much easier. We were looking for orange oreo's but no luck instead we found CANDY CANE ones! Yes so we are trying those out in the bark today.

The plan for the rest of the day is bumming until we get hungry then off to the Alamo Cafe http://www.alamocafe.com/ , Bed, Bath, and Beyond for a new dish rack, and if I can talk him into it we will hit up Brindles http://www.yelp.com/biz/brindles-awesome-ice-creams-san-antonio-2 They are a hidden treasure here in San Antonio.
