I've got the joy joy joy joy.....

Nothing brings me more joy that finding a great deal.
My motto is "retail is for suckers."
Peebles had a one day only sale and this is what I got;
3 shirts @ $18.00 each
1 shirt/jacket @ $22.00
1 pair of capris @ $36.00
&
1 pair of capris @ $50.00

Retail price $162.00.
I spent $17.32.

That's right.
I got 6 items for less than the price of one.
Damn I'm good.

Some rules are meant to be broken.

We have been trying to enjoy our last few weekends at Busch Gardens before it closes for the winter. We all love to ride the coasters, especially Anna. There are three big coasters that she has not been able to ride, Apollo's Chariot, Alpengueist(Alpine Ghost, help me out FG), and Griffon. It's been hard for her to watch everyone having fun while she waits. That was until now. I wont go into the details of how it came to be but Anna got to ride Apollo's and Alpine Ghost. As you can see by her giant smiles she loved every second of it.

A boo boo.

With a pumpkin patch.

I hope you enjoyed our jokes.

Student of the week

Congratulations to Anna! She was chosen to be student of the week. These are all of the cool things she got to do:

Monday she filled out a questionnaire about herself and made a poster with this picture. Tuesday she shared her poster with the class and had to answer any questions they had. Wednesday she brought in three pictures of her choice and had to tell why they are so important to her.
Thursday she got to pick three friends from any third grade class and have lunch with them in the classroom.
Friday she gets to bring a favorite thing to share.

The three pics she chose were Kipper's first bath, family at Lake MI, VA Beach with friends, and I put a fourth pic of Anna in the snow. We really miss the snow.

I can't live in a bubble forever

That's right. I am finally taking the leap and reentering society. I will be the first one to admit that I have been keeping to myself since we have moved. I guess it was my own way of self protecting. Denial would be another way to describe it.

My first step was joining the PTA. My second step was looking for work. There are so many people hiring here it was easy to find something that was flexible enough for me. Lastly, I accepted a part time job at the Wellness and Fitness Center.

I start on Tuesday. I will be giving tours and keeping the guests happy. I think I'll be good at that. It's part time and the pay sucks but I get a free membership and T and the girls are almost free. If you figure in the cost of a full family membership it's a great paying job. The best part is they have an full size pool.

Wish me luck.
