Can't do it!

I hear about all these amazing finds people find second hand shopping. I just can't. Every once in awhile I think and feel like I could go somewhere and find an amazing deal or stuff I am looking for. Doesn't happen. I went again today. Nothing. Then I went to TJ Maxx and found all kinds of stuff.
I don't think it is the used think cause I love getting hand me downs for my kids. Maybe it is the smell of those places. I don't know. I am always up for a deal. But I am unable to second hand shop. I love Walmart, target and Ross Dress for less. Tj maxx.
Do you think I am a snob?

Pioneer Woman

So, back in February or March so sweet friends brought up some ideas they got off "The Pioneer Woman" website. So, I got on and checked her out. OH MY GOODNESS! I find her hillarious. She just writes about fun things and does it with a sense of humor. I love it. When I told Jim about it he thought I was talking about an old fashioned lady in long dresses and gardening. So now he kind of likes her just cause I make him listen to some of the things she writes.
So thank you Vanessa and Julie for the fun.

Stella

I don't think I have made it any secret that I am not a die hard dog lover. I think I have realized that I like small dogs better than big dogs. But overall they are needy and under foot. They stink are in the way. They scratch and are insane.
But, how do you dislike a dog in all her instanity when your daughter loves her this much.


She also listens to Riley incredibly well. Sit, sit, siiiiiit. Lay, lay, laaaaaaaay. Good girl stella. And there are giggles and kisses when they play. So even though Jim and I think she is stupid and question our sanity at getting her. She will stay and be loved by Riley. And occasionally Brayden. He is to busy to care most of the time.

Style

I have been thinking lately. First I have been thinking about decorating. See my friend Vanessa over at southerninmyheart.blogspot.com (sorry I don't know how to do the attach thing.) And I love going to Vanessas. Her home is warm and cozy and very relaxing. But, she LOVES to decorate. As, I don't. I love to have cozy comfy things that don't take a lot of time to clean or maintain. I love rock and craftsman style. So it got me thinking. What is my style. And this is great. According to the internet it is Northwestern. So how perfect is that. I am in the right place.
I have also been thinking about what Jim and I are going to do when we are empty nesters and retired. Still trying to figure that out. Travel and golf are what we have so far. However, I have never golfed before. Even though I would like to learn.
Another thing is food. I had been in a funk on cooking. So I started researching recipes on line and found Allrecipes.com. LOVE it. So far everything we have tried has been wonderful. I love that I am finding new things that are simple and I have most of the ingredients.
Another thought I had but it was just this morning. If God knows everything and Satan can't read my thoughts. How come awful things come to my mind and yet I haven't spoken anything out loud. Especially when you know Satan put it there.
Well those are just random things.
