Steal x2

Didn't I tell you I buy things for the cheap? Didn't I tell you I was a bargain hunger?

Well in this case I was as much a "hunter" as a guy who hits a deer with his truck is a "deer hunter", but I digress.

While walking through Target buying paper plates and such, I stumbled upon the dusty remains of their home decor event. Everything remaining is 75% off. And there, lo and behold, are two of these:

Originally priced at $149.00, got them for $37.25. Let me say that again. $37.25.

Side tables, for a living room I guess. I'm using them in my bedroom cause I'm nifty like that.

Who needs garage sales??

Score!

Since we're all showering at different people's houses lately (see renovation post), I had Anna hold on to my kids for a few minutes longer tonight while I ran to Meijer to get some masking tape for said "renovation."

While there, I had to look in the kitchen section. I just can't help myself.

I snagged one of these for 50% off, or $11.00.

*Anchor Hocking cake stand. To display all the crap I make that nobody will eat.

I also bought a horrible cupcake cake for Jake's class, to take with him on Friday. I won't get into how I feel about cupcake cakes, but let's just say we have a tepid relationship...

Maybe the kids in his class will feel the same way and Jake will bring some rejects home, to display in my cake stand.

"Renovation"

So you know the old-style bath and shower mixer taps with the plastic star design?



Yeah, that one there in the middle. The cheap plastic thing.

Well the name label fell off of ours. The little circular plastic thing in the middle.

Chuck's reaction to this?

Change the whole fixture! So we get down to brass pipes and he finds that there's a slight leak.

Leak? Rip out the whole wall!



So we are on day two of not having a bath or shower.. but he's working on it!

Test, test

I'm testing this great blogger app on my G1 and it seems to be working great. I can't add pictures but when Jake ends up pulling down a whole pile of cans at the grocery store, I can let the world know right then and there. You're welcome!

Photos and a surprise

Oh, oh laptop and picturesss.



Luke and I are sick, both in special and unique ways. While he has a river of crusty green snot, I've nearly lost my voice and have a nice, dry cough. The other two boys are fine. Go figure.

Without further adieu, I present you with weird pictures of me and my kids.

Ok, yeah, I don't have any makeup on. Don't look at me, look at the cuteness.

And, last but not least, my new ring:
