Shop-urtunities galore!

I had no idea that the first Saturday of the month was 50% of everything at Goodwill day!

I racked up for my hubby! I found 7 shirts (Hollister, Gap, Eddie Bauer, IZOD etc.) and 4 pair of pants (St. Johns Bay, Banana Republic, Gap & Hagar ) all for $40.00. This total included 3 items for myself!

I also went by J.C. Penny and picked up their door buster towels 2 for $7.00. I bought 6 of these and a new bath mat. The kids bath room is being over hauled the week of October 12th. Each kiddo now has a color towel all their own. I am proud to announce I will no longer be washing 9 kid towels a day. (don't ask b/c i don't know how they do it)

I cleaned out our (mine and Steven's) entire closet today and made a trip back to goodwill. I took out WAY more than I brought in!

I am making steady progress.

I am determined to finish this thing just to prove to my Hubby I can finish something!

You are in my prayers. I'm not great at finishing stuff either. Glad you got some deals at Goodwill.

I am very impressed and you are motivating me to keep going. I, too, am overhauling this house to get ready for the yard sale and although it sucks getting through it, it feels so good to have a clean room! YOU ROCK!
Call me...hope you are doing great!

Ha ha. You sound like me! I am notorious for having great ideas and starting them, but often they only get part of the way finished :o) Often, just proving to Glen that I'm going to finish is what motivates me to actually do it!

Let me get through part of the week and see how I'm feeling before I let you know for sure.

I'm thinking it would be nice to come out there. I know, I know, you don't care what my house looks like, but it's just me. I know I would do too much, plus we've never been out there, and maybe I can work out something with Coocal to drop off my kids later that night so Glen and I can finally go out for his birthday.

Would it be possible to try for Friday?

You totally need to sign up for Facebook :o)

Did your week fill up, or would you still like to try and get together?

Shyla said...

Sounds good. I'm planning on heading out after Haven's morning nap. We'll probably be there lunch-ish. Would you like me to bring some pizzas?

Rachel, I am so sorry. My mother in law called me late last night and had to move our plans from next week to tomorrow, so we're not going to be able to make it. I'm so sorry. I was really looking forward to getting together.

Maybe we can try for over Christmas and then I can see your wonderful grand plan!

Please tell the kids I'm sorry and we hope to see them soon. Love you!
