Two Peas Blog Challenge

How much do you normally spend in a scrapbooking store? How often do you normally shop in a store? Or are you an online shopper?

I usually go shopping at my local scrapbook store once every two weeks. My average amount that I spend on supplies is $20-40. Alot of times I have spent way more than that! I was shopping there yesterday and managed to get away for under $8! I have shopped online on very few occasions. I have to fondle my supplies. See it, touch it, smell it....you know! I will shop online for things that I can't get my hands on locally. I get alot of QuicKutz from e-bay :)

I'm Marcia Brady

You Are Marcia Brady

Confident yet kind. Popular yet down to earth. You're a total dream girl. You've got the total package - no wonder everyone's a little jealous of you.

Oh yeah baby!

I finally got a day off! I've pulled in mucho hours the past couple of weeks between all of my jobs. I leave for sunny Arizona Sunday morning! That's part of the reason for my mad work schedule. Since I only work PRN, that means I have no benefits now. No vacation time, no sick time...luckily Chris has the health insurance on us. So, needless to say, my trip will be sans pay, but WELL WORTH IT!

I'm going with two "non-scrapper" friends, so my time touring the LSS's will have to be alone. They absolutely think I'm crazy for spending my money on QuicKutz instead of a new Coach handbag. I did manage to sign up for a class at Scrapbooks-Etc in Mesa. I'll be taking Eva Flake's "Just My Type" class. All the things that scrappers do on the computer these days amazes me, and hopefully I'll pick up a thing or two in her class.

My grandparents are house/dog-sitting for my parents this week while they are cruising the Western Carribbean (LUCKY!). So, I promised Grandma I would take her to the mall today for a little bit of shopping. It should be fun! I need to pick up a new swimsuit for my trip: as much as I hate to see myself in one already. I hate the "first" time being seen in my swimsuit. I don't know why. After I break the ice the first time, I'm alright.

I never win!

Anything! You name it, I enter it. Drawings at work, at the grocery store and online. Heck, I didn't even win a prize at the baby shower I went to Saturday. I buy powerball tickets only to match a maximum of two numbers on a $10 ticket. I buy scratch offs only to win another ticket (that's a loser).

But, I do have what I like to call "random luckiness". My bouts usually happen in the form of retail.

I was at Victoria's Secret about a month ago buying a new bra. The lady at the register had the hugest pile of panties at her register that she was going through. She asked me if I wanted to go through them, because they were mistakenly left out of their semi-annual clearance sale. She was getting rid of them for $1. They were cute too!

I went to Sonic (my daily watering hole) on Sunday and ordered my usual. A large diet coke...not a lot of ice. What did I get? A Route44!!

That's the extent of my "winnings". But I guess it's the little things in life like a free upgrade of my favorite soft drink that will forever keep me smiling!

~~My top 5 Dream cars~~

This blog challenge really hit home with me. My husband and I are currently in the market for a new car, so if some of my "dream" cars seem practical, that's why. We're really trying to narrow down the field, but here are my top five!

1.) This baby above! The Infiniti G35 4-door coupe. This little car has everything that I love! I really like the sleek sophisticated look of the car.

2.) Nissan Maxima. I actually had a 1997 model years ago, and man that was a solid car. It had tons of zip and was loads of fun to drive.

3.) Nissan Murano

4.) If money were no option, the Mercedes CLK 500 Cabriolet.

5.) Man, it's harder to think of 5 cars than I thought it would be.....hmm...I'll say the new Ford Mustang GT, performance red. This was my single gal, pre-kids car. I loved it! Five-speed, spoiler, leather seats. AHH, I had a lot of good times in that car. But mine was a 2000 model, and I really dig the new retro body style on these cars.

Weekend Randomness

Okay, I really need to give props to this movie! I just finished watching "Walk the Line", and it was phenomenal! I'm shocked that it didn't win movie of the year at the Oscars, but I also haven't seen "Crash". I can't get over how well they sang in the movie. I just loved these two actors in this movie! And, being a southern gal probably helped peek my interest.

I raided Hollywood Video on Friday, and in addition to the above film, I also rented:
-In Her Shoes
-Flightplan
-Saw II
I planned on having a weekend indoors watching these movies, but the weather has been so awesome here! I've got spring fever BAD!! I'm ready to start landscaping projects. I got this really cool magazine in the mail last week that lists the different kinds of plants that look good together grouped in a bed. That's always been hard for me to put together, so now I'm really excited about getting down and dirty in the mulch!

What a day!

Well, first of all, today was BEAUTIFUL! It got up to almost 76 degrees here! I would always be a happy woman if the weather would stay like this. I was ready to start gardening. That's one of my biggest mistakes. I always plant at the first sign of spring, and then we end up getting another big frost or snow. But, that's me....impatient.

Bryce and I spent the day cleaning and playing outside. He's in this phase where everything's "mine", and he wants to "help, help". So he gets the swiffer. It's just right for him, and he doesn't feel left out. Now, if only I could teach him the correct way to work it. Oh well, as long as he stays busy I guess.

This is my man! I had to take this picture after he went to get his hair cut. FINALLY! Chris went almost three months without a trim. He was going for the Patrick Dempsey look, but it just wasn't happening (speaking of PD, he'll be on Barbara Walters tonight ;)). This is the most handsome look for you, honey. Freshly trimmed with my "barely beard".

LOVE YA!





So, I'm enjoying yet another season of American Idol. What I don't understand is why they have to show an episode three nights a week? I don't usually watch that much t.v., but I find myself rushing around five evenings out of the week just to be ready to enjoy my shows. Yes, I'm addicted!
