Lucky Day

I wasn't even going to leave my house, but after dropping my kids off at school, I thought, I guess I can run some errands. I've been looking for an herb pot...You know the kind that have the little holes for different herbs...
I saw one at Crate and Barrel yesterday and had to have it, but of course it was Crate and Barrel, so I didn't. I thought I might be able to find a cheaper alternative at Walmart. No luck there, but I did find an AWESOME flower pot that I'd wanted to get at Target that looked the same but was bigger and half the price. Yay! Lucky thing number 1!

Next, I thought SURELY Hobby Lobby will have an herb pot. Nope, but I found 5 other things that I HAD to have...got to the cash register, everything I bought was HALF OFF! Lucky thing #2!

So, it's about 10:30 at this point and I could go home and get Grant lunch and then take him to preschool...or head across the parking lot to Chick-Fil-a and make G super happy. So, I go, thinking I'll totally be bored sitting by myself. Little did I know that the girls from church had set up a playdate that morning at Chick-Fil-A at 10:30... So, needless to say, lucky thing #3. Grant was a little late to school, but it was totally worth it!

So, as I'm driving G to school on post, I figure I'll check out the PXtra after I drop him off, and see if they have any herb pots, because dang it...I'm not giving up yet. Pulling into the parking lot, I see the very pot I've been in search of ALL morning sitting right outside the Preschool door. I dropped G off and searched out his teacher to find out WHERE did she find this pot!!! She says to me, oh...it's cracked...just take it. SWEET! Not only do I get the pot I want, IT'S FREE!!! Lucky thing #4.

It's not even 1pm yet. Can't wait to see what else is in store for today. :)

Bathroom Before and After

I've always hated our Master bathroom. It's horribly small, despite our gigantic bedroom. We've thought of everything to try and make it bigger, extending the shower, cutting into our bedroom, but the thought of doing all that work and then moving in a couple years, just didn't sound reasonable. It was hard because we started with a pedestal sink and little to no storage. Notice all the crap on the floor!!! A girl's got to have her bathroom storage! So, here is what we managed in our 24 hour remodeling adventure. I am very pleased with the results.


New sink, new mirror, new lighting, new cabinet. The flooring we already had. Now all my crap has a home...a pretty home.

Don't you just love it!!! I finally don't cringe when I walk in. I might actually enjoy a nice long soak, now. Hooray!

Date night

Adam and I usually have pretty awesome date nights, but last night was really cool. He took me out shooting. I've never been to a shooting range before, so I was super nervous. I finally got to shoot the glock Adam bought me years ago. It was pretty sweet and I was actually pretty good! It also felt good to unload some of my PMS stress onto my poor paper target. I can't wait to go again.

Food For Thought

Bryson: What does disappeared mean?

Me: It means all gone or you can't see it anymore.

Bryson: Yeah like when you eat food and then it goes in your tummy and you don't see it anymore.

Me: That's right!

Bryson: But you might see it again if you throw up.


This one's for you Brandi. :)

Just Call Me Catwoman

Some lady was staring at me today. "You know you look just like Catwoman!"

"I get that a lot"
