Something for the Wallflowers

Out with the old

Well the new face of SnS hit homes this week (check your MailSouth coupons). I must say drastic improvement. I've let a privileged few see November's mailer, so the rest of you will have to wait.

Little Lots

Ok so I've wrote how much I love Big Lots and I still do but Little Lots in Boaz has stole my heart for now on home decor and kitchen stuff. For the past couple of months they've been getting in a killer selection of Kmart stuff by Martha Stewart and Essential Home. I missed out on the full Martha Stewart Bed In A Bag set I loved for a mere $25 (Martha's sets are nice too, so far it's my fav brand)cause I thought o yeah they'll have this when I get paid again. Nope sold out of the size I needed. But if you are in the mood for say Roman and those bamboo shade thingies they got em for $3.95 to $4.95 I priced those bad boys of exact and discontinued ones on the Kmart site and the cheapest was $30 even big lots can't beat that price at $20-$30. They even had floor lamps ranging from $17.95 to $29.95 ( I bought the last floor lamp style for $17.95) I love my new lamps cause they are the super nice ones that are brushed stainless and have a Natural weaved oval shade. But they still have a killer selection left of the other styles.

So far my recent Little Lots findings Martha Stewart everyday stoneware $3.95 a box, Essential Home canvas with wood slats Roman shades $4.95, New bed set for Ivy comforter $16.95 and sheet set $7.95, Essential Home swivel floor lamps $17.95, Todd English cordless hand blender $29.95, Crock Pot brand baby crock pot $4.95, Hunter care free humidifier $19.95. Monopoly Spongebob edition $9.95. All of them items priced 50-80% lower than stores/online.

I no longer work in Albertville or Boaz so since dad is coaching pee wee football for the Blue Devils I've made deals to drive him to his games on Sand Mountain since my car gets better gas mileage so I can hit up the shopping centers. All of that will be ending soon so I'll have to make special trips of my own. I'll try to roll up that way once a month my only excuse is getting my car washed at the $5 car wash (they use foam on their rollers and you just can't get that in town) I fell in love with the foam wash in Abingdon, VA while in college less damage to your cars paint job. Plus apparently after asking the worker they get in shipments everyday so I'm already slacking by not being able to go as frequent as I'd like. I'll be more than welcome to let others join me on my monthly pilgrimage.

Day 1 of pills... Sing us a song your're the Piano Man

I must say i'm impressed with my fat burner pills. I was super tired this morning from worrying all night about cleaning up the mess in the living room from new furniture coming in to old going out. So I popped a pill and I felt better, I actually had energy to do it. Not just any old crazy energetic burst more of the "focus" just like they said you would have. I wasn't bouncing off walls or just what to do next more like get it done but not tired or blah. I will say the appetite suppressant is quit impressive. I had 1 blueberry waffle plain for breakfast and 1 plain for lunch. I didn't start feeling hungry until 5. I could tell I was coming down off the 1st pill so I popped another around 6ish. The directions say not to take one after 4 due to not being able to fall asleep but ehhh what the hell. I think my limit is definitely 1 pill 2 times daily although you can do up to 3 pills 2 times daily but that to me would be overkill. I guess since I got the pills this means I have to exercise, my honest excuse today was cleaning/ putting away up until 3:30, shower, allergist, grocery store for last min items and back home to cook for guest.

Twas a good day. Got Jaimie, Les & Scotty to make Karaoke fools of themselves with Sing Star. I guess they sang for food. It was magical. More magical times to come in a couple of weeks.

Wanna Get Lean

Normally I would never buy "As Seen On TV" products but damnit this one sells itself. (The free ab straps got me man)

I'm A Mess

I've let myself go. Tis a shame cause I used to be all organized, tidy, fit and so forth. I blame all of this on love and getting too damn cumfy (not to mention the dude I fell in love with is a BUM). But I'm on a baby step track to getting my shit together. I can tackle the nonsense and foolishness (as Ms. Niecy Nash would say) one thing at a time. Right now my big project is complete organization and tidyness. Not sure how Nathan is gonna like it when I crack down on all rediculousness. I'll say this when I had my apt. in college you could eat off the floor literally sinced I cleaned everday (it helped I had laminate floors, man do I miss those cause carpet freaks me out). I went to class, worked, workedout and spent countless hours in the various labs and studios, and busted out 2 internships all in my senior year on top of being a double major in mass comm and art ( o the good ol days of being young).

What is my inspiration? Simple, wedding in approximately 1 year. And if I don't loose 50lbs yep 50lbs in the meantime I honestly don't want to walk down the aisle. I want to be hotness on my wedding day and 50lbs in a year isn't too much to take on. I've already ordered some top rated fat burning pills from the trusy smarts of bodybuilder.com. I carefully selected ones that gave you focus engery and not that jittery bullshit that makes you feel like you are on speed. I've taken those kind and I felt like shit but lost lots of weight. So I'll probably blog and whine about my perils in the next weeks/ months.
