I'm so excited....

and I just can't hide it....
In a week we're heading to Kansas!!! I can't wait to see my family and get away from here for awhile. =) Don't get me wrong, Maryland is alright, but it's no Kansas! Also, I plan to take a lot of pictures and will be able to update my photo slideshow! I'm getting tired of seeing Christmas pictures up there! =)

friday the 13th

I didn't realize it was Friday the 13th til I read someone's post on Facebook. Up til then I was having a great day and continued to til it took my husband & I 3 hrs. to get to the mall when it should've taken only and hr.!!! Traffic was so backed up. (On the way home-around 11pm-traffic was still backed up on the highway leading to the mall etc.) I think a horse and buggy would've gotten there faster! I'm not superstitious, but I'm still blaming it on the 13th anyway! Fortunately the trip wasn't wasted and I found lots of good deals. I spent most of the time in Marshall's! When I was checking out I happened to see a computer keyboard in one of the bins-I guess someone else didn't want it-so I bought that to. I was needing a new keyboard seeing as how I dumped my iced tea all over the other one. It was never the same & is now in the trash! I only paid $10 for the new keyboard too-I was expecting to pay 3-4 times that much. This one suits my needs and I am soo excited! I guess my "13th" wasn't all bad!



19 days til stress-free driving in KS! (Well, stress-free to me anyway!)

(This picture is a few yrs. old.)

Just sitting here thinking about my wonderful Grandpa (aka: Gramps!). He suffered a stroke and is currently in the hospital and has been there for about a month. I really, really wish I could go see him, but he's in Florida and I'm in Maryland. Plus plane tickets are rather expensive. =( Unless something miraculous happens he won't be going home. I never expected my Grandpa to be the 1st of my grandparents to go down so fast physically. He always tried to stay active and healthy. Even though it doesn't look promising, it can't hurt to pray for a miracle so that is what I'm gonna be doing.

Take a guess!

Betcha can't guess where I'm headed in 4 weeks!

One of my favorite deals this week....

$3.51 at your local Sam's Club (Well, here in Maryland anyway!)

They are reeeeally good-better than a candy bar, in my opinion, and better for you! =)

     This past week, I've been doing some Christmas shopping! I'm very excited about all the awesome deals I've found. Can I just say that Marshall's is the place to find great deals?!! I may actually save money instead of overspending on Christmas this year! Woohoo!!!
