I love a good sale

So, a couple of weeks ago I went shopping. I have been wanting a plain brown skirt and brown pointy sunday shoes for a long time and just haven't found anything I like or as cheap as I want them! ha...anyway, I went to a store called Spring and found my brown pointed shoes for $20!!!

I never found my brown skirt but I found a cute long sleeved polka dot shirt for $5. It is from Bluenotes, which to me is very much a store for teenagers but I went in anyway just in case. And, I found my 'just in case'! So I went back today and sure enough, the shirts were still there, as well as others, in my size too if you can believe it, and they were 50 percent off their discounted price. So, if you do the math I got two shirts today for $5! Here is a picture of the shirts. The shirt I got before was a brown polka dot one and then today I got the blue and pink.

I'm not good at finding deals, especially getting clothes on sale and in my size that fit, so I am pretty happy about these. As you can tell. Although, now I have 3 shirts that are the same, but oh well.

Ssshh...it's a library

I don't know about you but I love going to the library. Mike and I have been going almost once a week for a few months now and we love it. I like just looking through all of the magazines and CDs. I usually bring home a few magazines and Mike brings home a few CDs.

I have also enjoyed borrowing the DVDs, specifically the old movies...westerns, musicals, etc. Well, of course the musicals are for me and the westerns are for Mike :o) Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good western but musicals just aren't Mike's thing. I will admit that he does like a couple of them but I won't get into too much detail about that as he will probably get teased by all of his friends. Unless they secretly like musicals too! haha

anyway...it's something we like doing together, and that is half the fun.

So, get out there and enjoy your library. Your taxes are paying for it so take advantage of it.

What water am I not drinking?

So, it seems as though I get my water from a totally different source than EVERYONE I know. It seems that once this special water has been consumed that you start growing a belly and your family grows by one or more.

So, in order to help with this water source problem I am hoping that surgery at the end of the month will help. I wish I didn't have to go through a not so pleasant rendezvous with my doctor and have painful recovery time to get some results; results of which I don't know will come. But, my amazing husband is going to be at home to take care of me after. Thank you honey.

Hmm, how do I end this post. I think with just a positive note that one of my sisters had a baby girl yesterday and I am the happy aunt of my 8th niece!

In memory of...

President Hinckley. What an example he was. In the last few years I have thought of him as the Grandpa of the church. He has such a fun spirit and a personality and aura that draws you to him. He will be missed. I will miss him.

I love you Mike!

Boring!

Well, nothing is really going on at the Lawlor house. We are just working, spending time with friends and trying to stay warm!

I do have a funny little story...

Mike bought all of his family Simpsons pens (ballpoint pens) that talk! When you push the top it says something for whatever characters pen you have. I have Homer and Mike insisted on me taking it to work. I can't lie when I say I wanted to take it to work as well, just for laughs. (teehee) BUT, the thing is SO loud. Mike called me the other day at work and I asked him to pick up some groceries on his way home and the only way he was going to do it was if I pushed the pen. Although when I think about it now, I should have just hung up, cause I didn't want to push the pen. Of course, it was one of the longest quotes and it was so loud. My favorite quote that the pen says is "Today's the day for Homer J". Thank goodness everyone was too busy to notice or was too freaked out at the weirdo around the corner making noise! He was so proud of me for pushing it. He is a funny guy and I like that we can have so much fun together.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I hope all of you had a great Christmas! From your blogs it looks like you did. Mike and I went to Taber to be with most of Mike's family. We were only there for about 4.5 days as Mike had to work between Christmas and New Years. My company shuts down between Christmas and New Years so it was nice to be able to relax, clean the house and relax with friends.

Pictures of Christmas are on their way but here are a few random ones to tie you over! We got a snow blower from Grandma and Grandpa Rempel! (Thank you!) and thanks to mom and dad for bringing it to Taber and dad Lawlor for putting it on the truck!

We got some really nice frost on the trees and the other picture is me making homemade turtles. Mike was a great help as he wrapped the pecans in the toffee and I dipped them.
