New Threads...

I got a couple of new things this past week. Yesterday while in Eugene we hit a couple of second hand shops and I scored a couple of cute tops for cheap. I second hand shops now. As long as I have enough time to go through racks and racks of clothes, I very much enjoy 2nd hand shopping. Finding good deals @ a great prices makes me happy. I love new clothes and I love shopping, so it works for me. Give me $30-50 bucks and I'll come home with something for everyone and lots of bags. We even got a new Circulon pan/pot for $2.99 yesterday. That's a expensive brand of pots and pans that we use here and love. Derrel spotted that good deal. I've even got Jonathan going through the sports section looking for basketball jerseys, shorts and shoes he loves so much but we can't afford from the sports stores. Sometimes I have to go through a 100 things to find a few things to try on. I'm working on restocking my PJ pants drawer right now at the second hand stores. All my PJ pants are huge on me so I've been keeping my eye out for cute PJ pants for me. I got this really cute pair of heart PJ's yesterday for $3. SCORE

Anyway, I had Derrel take my picture yesterday in a couple of new shirts I got. I got my haircut and thought it was time for a new photo or two. Otherwise life is the same...boring! LOL Staying in, keeping it cheap and staying low. One day at a time. My weight is at 152. Not really happy about that. For myself I want to be around 147. But is there really a BIG ol difference in 147 to 152???...Not really, and I bounce around those 5 pounds all the time. I'm not stressing, not ignoring, and not looking away. I know I'm not really doing anything wrong and being honest with myself is what is most important. Just means I've been slacking and I need to move more. I've also been making a few new recipes at home this past few weeks. I've made home made pizzas on whole wheat tortillas with turkey pepperoni. I made my family lean taco salads. I use 7% ground beef when I use hamburger. And we have been eating lots of fruit. It's been our evening snack the past few nights. Few grapes, banana, apple. Mmm Just been trying new things as I'm stuck home and I need a job!

Wow Suzy,
Cute shirts and cute hair cut!
I tried going to get some stuff at the cheaper stores this month and nothing appealed to me. I have to get lots of dress pants and suits and unfortunately, no such luck for me. So, the ig bucks had to come out this week even though I only purchased a few things. WEIRD!

I wish I had the patience to go through racks at 2nd hand stores! I love your hair and shirts...you're looking all stylish and trendy! I bet your hubby is all over you...have you gotten any sexy "evening wear"?!? I'm still so self conscious to wear anything like that...wish I could just push through and put on something that is "practically nothing" :) Have a great week! :)

:) Amber- I'm thinking with that hard body of yours and all your working out you can get away with a nice nighty. Keep working it girl...proud of you! Your really working on you and you should be proud.

Yes, at every second hand store I look for a nice night time fun bedroom thingy. It has to hold up my boobs, and I'm not going see through...LOL NOPE, not going to happen. Still looking and loving the stores and shopping.

Thanks for the kind words girls!
