My new umbrella and my shadow! Ha!
Got this cute thing at Kirkland's for $5.00!
So, let's recap my exciting weekend as a weekend nurse, shall we? On Friday, my FIL was watching Carter so Caleb and I went shopping. It seems like it's becoming a Friday thing for me and Caleb. Anyways, he was kinda moody since he's getting two molars so we only made it to Kirkland's. I was kinda disappointed because there was a time that I could go in there and find exactly what I had in mind but not this time and a lot of things looked really cheap to me. I did get a good deal on a canvas that I have no idea what I'll do with. Ever do things like that? Yeah...me neither.
It kinda matches my room so it may end up there, or the bathroom, or a closet...who knows?!?
It was originally $129 and marked down to $69 plus I had a coupon for $25 off. I have an app on my phone called Coupon Sherpa and that's where the coupon came from. There are a ton of coupons available on this app and they have always worked for me. I highly recommend it! Oh, and let me just tell y'all that I forgot and left it in the car and hubby found it while I was at work. He thought I'd spent $129 on it as that price was still on the pic...so what do you think he did? Yeah...he went and spent $130 at Bass Pro just to be fair. Lawdy!
I forgot to mention that Caleb is still working on his climbing skills.
Here we have the little monkey climbing the stair gate. Note his left foot is on top of a suitcase turned sideways to block him from climbing under. We did have 4,000 pillows blocking it but he can now remove those and I choose not to say how we discovered that.
Brian's parents watched the kids Friday night so that we could have date night. We went to one of the 4 Mexican places in our very small town. It was really good. We went right back home after dinner. Quick date I know but sometimes just going to eat without kids is relaxing. I felt like it was a really special night because we went in the baby truck. You can read about that here.
And when the restaurant is serving up Margarita's like this, how can you not relax? They were very generous with the Tequila. Ha!
The rest of my weekend consisted of working and working. Big surprise!
Tired nurse legs and feet with destroyed living room in the background. Does this count for color blocking? I think it does!
Ok...ok...now for the good part. A few months ago, I was saying that I had a goal of 10 followers by December. Met that with no problem. I can't believe that I have over 100 now. I'm loving it and I am so glad you are all here! I decided that when I got to 100 I'd have another giveaway and I am over 100 now so I am a day or so late. My SIL is the queen of giveaways so check her out if you haven't already. She will be doing a guest post for me next Monday.
I am giving away this black, genuine leather wallet/wristlet. I used a couple of these as "Dirty Santa" gifts and those ladies were about to fight over them. Ha! It is from our local Merle Norman in Atoka, so local friends check them out. They have more than just makeup! Lots of stylish clothing, shoes, purses, jewelry, lotion, candles, plus Yon Salon is in the back and my girl, Jaclyn is the bomb.com. Just wish I had time to go see her.
The front holds 6 credit cards and 1 ID
The middle portion has 2 pouch like openings for cash, receipts, or whateva otha stuff you cram in there. Not that I would know anything about cramming stuff in my wallet and there's also a little coin storage area with a zipper.
On the back there is storage for 6 more credit cards a husbands nightmare with a little snap over thingy to keep them secured.

ReplyDeleteAnd yes, of course it counts as color blocking! ;)
I really like that canvas! And you can never go wrong with margaritas:)
ReplyDeleteThanks! And you are soooo right about margaritas!
DeleteBass Pro is an addiction for my husband. Just remember: one day he'll spend first, then you get to commit retail payback:)
ReplyDeleteYou are very right! Bass Pro is a new addiction for him since he bought a new gun. He is always needing to go buy more stuff for it! Whateva!
DeleteSo cute and that margarita looked like heaven. I will post about your giveaway on my blog tomorrow. WOOT WOOT!
ReplyDeletethose margs look delicious! yumm. im in need of a new wallet too ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm entering the giveaway, duh! :) Now I want to go by Merle Norman. I didn't know they had that much stuff in there besides makeup. Maybe we can run in there before our Mexican blate, lol. Your marg looks tiny compared to the jumbo but seriously that small one is usually enough for me to get giggly! Sad but true!
ReplyDeleteI want a margarita!!! Too bad I'm more than a year away from one?!? Babies are worth it though, right? Maybe once she's born I'll pump and dump just to be able to have one!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to enter your giveaway, love the wallet, great giveaway!

DeleteWrong Laura! LOL!
DeleteI swear I can read - Kirkland's $5! LOL
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should read through the end of the comment strip before I open my big mouth....
DeleteLinz,
ReplyDeleteLove the canvas and umbrella. I am very impressed with your Kirkland's finds!! I never see anything in there, so I don't even go in anymore. That may change now. : )
Maybe Margaritas knew I wasn't a T County chick (or maybe I drink too much?!), because neither of my ritas there had anything in them. I ended up going to the bar and asked for a little extra to which they gave me premium [$$$] tequilla (which I learned when looking at the bill. YIKES!)! I wasn't a happy camper. lol But you can't get better food!!
ReplyDeleteLove the umbrella!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute! I had to get it!
