Good Morning Lovelies!!!! It is Friday once again.... and Coldmageddon or snowpocolypse, as others are calling it remains intact!!!!!Tonight there are about 8 inches of snow in the forecast.... so...yeah... my last day of school will now be June 3... and girrrrrrrrrrllllllllllll... old man winter ain't done yet... but this weekend will be nice.. my hubsband is coming home for the Super bowl!!! I'm not much of a Superbowl gal.... Jack asked me who I'm picking and since Joel McHale is picking Seattle Seahawks... I guess thats good.. GO SEAHAWKS!!!!! While all my people will be watching the Superbowl I am hoping to be at Ross and shopping shopping shopping!!!!!I feel Superbowl should be celebrated in different ways than most...
But whatever you're doing.. have a WONDERFUL Superbowl Weekend!!!!!

Wiki tape... who knew???



When holidays come around.. I like to decorate a little at a time... so with Valentines Day sneaking up... I ordered the xoxo from of course... groopdealz.com.Now whenever theres a thing on Groopdealz that is decorative, I forget that there is usually painting involved... so when they came in bare wood I was like, "what??? I thought they were the cute decorated ones I saw:(... so I  go to Target (and you know how much I HATE going to Target!!!) and found this wiki What do I have to lose?? so the wiki tape looks pretty good right??? ( I mean from a distance... don't get right up on it... it'll look like a kindergarten project gone wrong...) so for an extra .99 I transformed my little xoxo... I also ordered a bunch of garlands from Groopdealz for Valentines... still waiting... but as they go up.. I'll display....

A Clothes Victory...

ok... remember this shirt??? the Raquel Welch stand in shirt... well I gave it to my sister and look how much cuter is it on her!!! I was too short to pull off the knot on the bottom... she pulls it off  much better... so in the neverending battle of clothes vs. human...clothes wins....

A sweet Victory!!!


Yesterday's post  was all about the bittersweet victory I had with the pillows.... today's post is about these boots I'm wearing.. I got em at Goodwill for 40.00... Uggs... and I know knock offs.. these are no knock offs....and super comfy....
The jeans again from Wal Mart.... they are like regular jeans but they have like a spanx top... do I look skinnier???

A bittersweet victory...



I got these pillows at Salvation Army yesterday for 5.06 and 4.06... now.. this is a WONDERFUL thing except.... I bought two of the EXACT SAME PILLOWS at Target for 17.00 each!!! WTH! This is called "not being patient"... if I had just waited like a good girl for the pillows at Salvation Army, all would be right with the world....
I have to submit my "What I Wore Wednesday" on Thursday again as I was lazy yesterday :(



50% of this outfit is from.... Wal Mart..  I know.. they suck and we're not supposed to shop there... but its so cheap... and  look at the cute booties!! I'm linking up with thepleatedpoppy.com and tuckerup.blogspot.com and  thetinyheart.blogspot.com for Sharon's "Look What I Got!" linkup!!!

Scenes from a weekend....


After my tragic event on Christmas Eve involving me throwing up all over my bed (don't judge!!! I'm a lightweight!!) I have had to reb
build my bed from the mattress up.... I found this velvet like quilt at Target for 35.00... Its  a little dark admittedly... but comfy.......
Next up.... half of this outfit is from where? Groodealz!!! the boots and the leg warmers... I love the legwarmers with the Ugg type boots...I went to of course Goodwill yesterday to look for something cool... I found these numbers that are big stickers... I got the idea  over at www.thehankfulhouse.com... It was all about using numbers for decorating... so all I need is  a big frame and I can display my creativity!! Have wonderful rest of the weekend my friends!!!

My very first video blog!!!!!

This is part 1...

This is part 2... now of course I left out a bunch of stuff.. like I have a wonderful reading teacher who comes in between morning message and journal and reads with two groups of kids.. also....I left out the reading books I've been using.. but again.. hopefully this is the first of MANY MANY videos... I do apologize profusely for my gross cold sore!!!

A Clothing Exchange....

Good Morning Lovelies!!!  Whew!! What a week!!! All three days of it.. now we are back with our indoor recess nightmare.... These puppies have not been outside in probably a month... Coldmageddon continues to plague us... today's new adventure? Fog and melting snow... hopefully it melts enough so I'm not scared out of my wits to drive out of my driveway for fear of getting stuck in the snow....


Today my special guest is my sister Terry.... I had WAAAAAY too little room in my closet for my clothes so I gave about 3/4 of my wardrobe to my sisters... Terry sent me this pic to show she is using the clothes I gave her.. the top and sweater are bothe from Target... she has a longer middle than me and can pull off the blouse with the belt... I swear... all of the clothes I gave her looked WAAAAY better on her than they ever looked on me!!! In my next career I need to be a personal shopper!!!

too much info to title....


This is kind of a repeat of this outfit...
animal print sweater, gingham button down, booties... but thats ok... I like the little animal print sweaters....I got today's sweater from Rue 21... kind of expensive.. 21.99 but thats how much they are at Old Navy  too.. so  what can you do???
I am a day behind on my favorites linkup.... so today is.....Favorite comedies... (TV)

14. The League... this is on FX and Netflix and Hulu... I made fun of my son for watching this but then I watched a couple episodes.. then a couple more.. then I was addicted... LOVE  The League!!!

13. Another FX show.. Archer is kind of a guys show, but this shows lightening fast with the wit... you gotta be on your toes....
12.  Parks and Rec is a great show especially if you binge watch it... anything with Rob Lowe can NOT be bad at all!!!

11. Curb Your Enthusiasm is a wonderfully honest funny show... its rare to see someone laugh at their flaws as much as Larry David...

10. My dad would yell at me if I didn't includel"The Honeymooners" in this list.. but  "The Honeymooners" is classic... another actor who could laugh at his flaws...

9. 
I've talked alot about Chris Lilley on this blog and his show "Summer Heights High" needs to be seen by every teacher, student, and teenager... it is so brilliant and funny... you will fall in love with Chris Lilley as I have...

8.  Arrested Develoment is another show with lightening fast speed... but I can not tell you who l love more, Gob, George Michael, Buster, or George Sr.... and then theres Lucille....

7.  The Soup is a constant in my TV lineup... Joel McHale is so funny and girrrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllll.. NOT bad to look at!!!!

6.  I loved "I Love Lucy" when I was little... of course I only liked the ones in New York.. once they moved to the country I didn't like it.. but watching vitametavegamin again.... TOO FUNNY!!!

5.  Chapelle's Show.... WHAT HAPPENED???? Why did you go???

4. This show causes a debate in my house... my hubsband hates this  show.. my son loves it.. I love it too.. it used to come on at 10:00 and 10:30 and it was perfect no  brainer tv... perfect right before bed... but this show is a comfort for me.. and there are about 5 episodes I would watch over and over again...

3. When my son had his tonsils out "Everybody Hates Chris" was one of the few things that cheered him...Everybody Hates Chris can cheer anyone up...

2. I could tell you which episode of "The Brady Bunch" we we were watching in the first 15 seconds.. I've seen every episode at least 5 times... LOVED this show!!!

and the number ONE comedy of all time.....

Seinfeld... I've seen every single one... I don't think I've gone a week w/o Seinfeld in the past 5 years... they are TIME LESS!!!!!!
