Always check the GPS

Today Brandi was here and she wanted to get out and do some shopping. Kalaree and David had youth temple trip so I figured I would grab the girls and the four of us would hit the road. We started at Target. I just love that store. Brandi found a great deal on a cute jacket. We then headed out to lunch and then on to another Target since the DVD that Brandi wanted was sold out and we were going past it to the other stores so we stopped to get that. While at Target David called to tell me that he forgot to give Kalaree a key and so we figured on running back out to Battle Ground to pick her up but had some time so we stopped at Joanns on the way. We got tot he church before Kalaree made ti back so we waited. She opted not to go with us so we handed her a key and headed back out. Brandi wanted to go to Avenue, which the closet one I knew about was at Cascade Station by the airport so that is where we went. I am glad we did, because next to Avenue is Bath and Body works and they happened to have Creamy Caramel room oils. 3 other stores I looked at were sold out of that since before Halloween so I was thrilled to find that. Well I had wanted to go to Fabric Depot. I went once a long time ago with my mom but I wanted to get back there. But as time was crunching down on us we decided not to since I figured it would take another 20 minutes to get there and Brandi needed to be back here to go to dinner with her friends. So Fabric Depot was out. But since we were by the airport I figured I would show Brandi were David worked. As we were heading over there, Brandi's friends called to ask if they could push dinner back an hour so another friend could join them. Yea me!!! That gave me one hour more and possibly a trip to Fabric Depot if it wasn't far. So Brandi quickly typed it into the GPS and guess what. It is 4 miles from where David works. You heard me right 4 miles. I almost gave up a trip without checking because I thought it would be too far. I am so glad that her friends called to ask for more time, but I also learned that I need to check things out. There would of been plenty of time to make the trip either way (well maybe not because I really want to go give it a good look and not feel rushed.) I didn't get any really cool fabric there. Not that there wasn't any but I need to go back when I can spend some time to really look around. So maybe next Saturday.

My wish list

Now this is by no means a buy these exact thing list. I figured I would gives some basic ideas and you can run from there. I am really getting into the shabby chic look for my kitchen. As you noticed in a previous post I have gotten a few things but I have a few more things I would love to have. These are just few. I like the white and the decorative look. I am also into anything that would go with my new Iphone. I really could use a case and I would absolutely love a docking station at home with speakers so I could use it here. Plus, my music was lost in our hard drive crash so an Itunes gift card would be absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Now I also love my Cricut and I have a ton of cartidges that I would love to have. The ones I am posting here are ones I don't have and ones that I would like to someday own. I am puting them in the order, with the most wanted on top. PLEASE DON"T THINK THIS IS AN HAVE TO GET ME LIST! THIS IS JUST SUGGESTIONS OF THINGS THAT I AM INTO RIGHT N...

LOVE CRAIGSLIST

Since the new house has a room for each of the girls we ran into a slight problem. Basically how do you make two beds into three and one dresser into three. So I jumped on Craigslist this morning and found two twin size mattresses for $10 each and then another person had 2 box springs for $5 for both. I also found two dressers, nice ones at that for $20 and $40. So I furnished two rooms for $85. We already have a twin bed frame. So I figured I will keep my eyes open for another twin bed frame and keep the bunk beds together so that we have a spare bed for visitors. YES, I expect everyone to come stay with us at least once, we are the cool people. Kalaree is going to refinish (paint) one of the dressers and the bed frame that we have now for her beehive project. How cool is that. Not only does she now have a dresser but she also now has her beehive project to do. WOO HOO!!!!! I am really quite proud of myself to get all this stuff for such a great price and now I don't have to worry...

LOVE craigslist.

I was doing my usual cruise through craigslist tonight when I stumbeld upon a find. A family in a neighboring town is moving and needed to get rid of their loveseat. Slightly sunfaded is how they discribed it but it was free. Well to my surprise when I scrolled down to look guess what I found.... Yup the exact match to our living room set. It is sunfaded, it even looks purple in spots. But hey ours is not in the best of shape either so who cares. So now we finally have enough seats in our living room to have everyone sit without someone being on the floor or a kitchen chair.
