Warning!! Go To The Bathroom First!

Motivate Me Monday

I'm a little late linking up for Motivate Me Monday.  Sorry bout that.  My poor house was begging to be cleaned and I couldn't avoid it any longer.

My goal for this week is the same as the last two:  workout at least 4 days a week for at least 15 minutes.  I didn't do too good last week.  Tuesday I did some yard work, Wednesday I met a friend for lunch and we walked on the Riverwalk, then Saturday I went to two neighborhood yard sales where we parked and walked.  So I'll say I got 3 days in.

I have worked out today for about 40 minutes.  Did the Start It Up workout from Slim in 6, followed by the stretching workout.  I was trying to avoid the soreness I know comes after, but I can feel it starting up in my shoulders, back, and thighs.  Hot tub time for sure tonight!

What are YOU working on?  Link up with Lauren at Long Winded Lauren for motivation and accountability!

Hey, Can Ya Help a Sistah Out?

Have you ever visited Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick?  If you haven't, you are missing out!  This girl is amazing.  She handles a miter box like I handle the TV remote!  Many is the time I've sat slack jawed at her befores and afters.  Anyway, go to One Project Closer and vote for her!  Then sit back, grab your favorite beverage, and take a while visiting her blog.  I promise you won't be sorry!

Another Giveaway

I am always on the lookout for new blogs--since I only follow about 50!  Stumbled upon this one through The Secret is in the Sauce.  She's hosting a giveaway for an interesting sounding book (another thing I'm always on the lookout for).  Check it out for yourself.

A Beautiful Day for Yard Sales!

Wow! What an awesome day I've had!  My friend Liz and I started about 7 this morning and didn't get home till 1:30 or so!  There were two neighborhood yard sales nearby and we made out (as my hubby would say) like fat rats!  Should have gotten pics of her stuff--maybe next time.

First up is this brand new tote--$4.  Never heard of the brand--Ariat--but love the pockets and organization of this bag!  It'll be great for travel.

How bout this cute little wooden table for $3?

Luurrvvee this little stool!  It's metal and the sweet little lady wasn't sure how old it was.  My can of Heirloom White is begging to be used on it and new fabric will just make this baby smile.  The lady wanted to give it to me, but my husband insisted on giving her $2 for it.

I have several of these lanterns and will add this one to the collection.  Price: $1.75

Had no clue what this was--do you?

Would you have thought it?  $2

$2.50 for the artichoke.  A quarter for the little urn.

Four pair of dress up shoes--$2.  Little stroller--$2.  Noise making ball--$1.

Seriously, can you have too many lamps?  Especially when the price is $1.75!

A Santa to add to my collection--$3

Cute little tin--$2

Cornucopia complete with leaves--75 cents

Liz Claiborne purse--$1

Red Hat poem--$1

Frame--50 cents

Basket--50 cents

Broom (to do this)--$1

Lovely little table(?) stool(?)--lid lifts for storage--$5

Metal plant stand--$4

Silver tray monogrammed w/ a B--had to have it! Teapot, sugar & creamer.  Two candlesticks. Each piece of silver was $1.  The little candleholder was free.

Darrell got a huge fan for the garage for $20.  Plus I got several things I can't show you, because they're Christmas gifts.  All in all, it was a very productive day!  Hope yours was just as good!

Now I'm off to watch the Tennessee Volunteers play Auburn!
GO BIG ORANGE!!

I Won! I Won! I Won!

Me, who never wins ANYTHING--except of course my dear hubby's heart--won a $25 Hobby Lobby gift card from Sherrie at The Rose Garden!  I am so excited!  Can you tell?  I'm already trying to decide what to spend it on (gleefully rubbing hands together)!

ETA: My party pooper daughter says my grammar is incorrect.  Just because she has a degree in linguistics, she thinks she can correct her mother.  All right, I'll admit it.  I was wr..wr..wr...mistaken in my usage of pronouns.
