Before & after my doctor’s appointment today I decided to go ahead and drop by Walgreens on the way because my Walgreen’s didn’t have some deals programmed into their computer so it was a huge headache. Well this Walgreens was VERY well stocked, had such friendly cashiers & even had a few 75% items that I couldn’t pass up! I am just so excited to find out how wonderful this store is & I might just have to make this my store. Anyways look at my haul from today! Even though I accidentally picked up some hair products that weren’t on sale as low as I thought they were bringing my total up $5 higher then I had planned, I think I did really good! I’m taking my mom some goodies because there is no way I could use all the styling products!! Ohhh and duh my totals!! I spent $15.13 and saved $90.67 (according to my receipt; that includes it at sale price).

Today we had to go return an outfit to Baby Gap & while we were at the mall I had to stop at Urban Outfitters to see if they had the cupcake ornament I wanted on sale. Well all their Christmas stuff was 75% off but no pretty cupcake, instead I got two really pretty (and glittery) ornaments for $3.00 each. I was soooo tempted to get a 4ft white Christmas tree at Urban Outfitters for next year (only $15!!!!) but I resisted because then we’d probably end up with a tree in every room next year. They had a very decent amount of items left so we are thinking to go to another Urban Outfitters tomorrow to look for my darn cupcake! Wish me luck!! Oh and the Texans ornament is JP’s ornament of course  Only $1.74 at Target! But Target had hardly ANYTHING! 

I hope everyone’s New Year’s Eve was full of fun! Last night we went to JP’s parent’s house because they were cooking a big ole dinner for the family. Dinner included big ole steaks (omg they were sooo tender!), huge shrimps & baked potatoes! Sooo good but sadly I wasn’t feeling so well so I didn’t gorge myself like I wish I could have. Oooo but there were veggy tray, olives & cheese…I ate more then my share of those though. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t down as much meat & potatoes then I wanted to. Okey now I can’t stop thinking about all the food & how there are probably plenty of leftovers…we were suppose to take a big plate but we left in a sort of rush because both JP & myself were getting really tired. I think we’ll have to go by a little later and get some food because umm that means leftovers for dinner…no cooking for this huge prego! 

So I have yet to write my “resolutions” down on paper, I want to make them more of goals…goals that set off even bigger goals for the future. Do you have any goals or resolutions for the year? What are they?

And this picture has nothing to do with this post but I’m about to take my Bruce man for a walk & give him a bath/trim. So there we go I made this picture a bit relevant

Oh my I wish I could stop making these lists in my head, I just thought of another list I need to make and it is driving me absolutely nuts. I now can not wait for my little one even more, just to get these damn lists out of my head. Usually when I write my lists down on paper, I feel much better. But now I’m thinking “oh no what did I forget?”… no Pamela you just want more and more to do! I think I’m just trying to keep my mind off the fact that I’ll have a baby squeezing out of my body soon, I can’t wait for my little man but at the same time I am scared out of my mind. Fine I’ve admitted it, I’m getting a bit scared. The scariest thing though? Not knowing when he’ll be laying in my arms…he decides that not me & well that’s not fun at all.

I still haven’t finished the little ones room just yet. I still need some home lighting for his room, something so that I can go into his room at night and not light up the whole house. I still need to buy the chocolate wall border, it’s just a plain chocolate strip but much easier then trying to paint a straight line & not getting paint on the ceiling. At first we thought about putting up crown molding but there is LARGE molding on the bottom so we weren’t really sure how that would look, but oh my gosh just look at all the pretty crown molding!! See the picture above? I really wish that’s how our hardwood floors were, they are so nice & bright looking. I’d love that room in a chocolate brown instead of pink too…. yum!! Oh my I can’t help it but when I go onto decorating sites, I spend waaaaay too long day dreaming about all the wonderful things that could be done to this place. 

Why does something as simple as new sheets make me happy? Oh man I just love new sheets but hadn’t gotten any new ones in a year!! For me that seems like a lifetime, I’ve been such a good girl at not buying tons of duvets, sheets & comforters this year. But now I’m contemplating get the duvet for the sheets I got…but I can’t decide on matching with chocolate or going with the water blue duvet. What do you think? By the way have I mentioned I love overstock.com? Because I really, really do!! Hahah and they aren’t paying me to say this but if they’d like to send some giftcards over that would be rad Oh and overstock was kind enough to give me a partial credit to my account when a Christmas gift for my in-laws wouldn’t make it here on Christmas Eve like it was suppose to. How super is that??

Help me!! Chocolate or Water Blue duvet?!?!

yes tired, tired, tired and can’t sleep because baby boy wants to do flips in my big ole belly to keep me awake. I think in maybe a hour or so I’ll be dead tired where I can finally wander into bed and just pass out. I didn’t get to take my nap because I was afraid to leave my cats alone, one of them was in a foul mood & I didn’t want him picking on the smaller one so I stayed awake and kept an eye out on them.

So I put up a new theme today, it’s soooo clean looking. I’m in total love with it. And the picture I added into the header just makes me very happy because that’s just goofy us…being goofy  :cool:  Ohhh and I added a captcha to the site so now when you leave a comment you will need to fill that out, sorry I know it’s a pain in the butt but this morning after going through 80 or so spam comments something just had to be done. I am still screening comments but this will help I’m sure!! I’ve already noticed a difference, since I installed it not ONE spam comment. *dies from wonderfulness*  It’s soooo wonderful

One thing that also keeps me up is the lists in my head… of all the things I need to do. Adding things, changing things, oh man the lists in my head are just about to drive me insane. Lists, lists, lists, lists!!  Do the laundry, put away the dishes, buy bamboo blinds, do the baby laundry, pack hospital bag, get Repliva refilled, print out 8×10s for new frames, don’t forget biooil twice a day, did i take my pills?, refill ice trays, do extra work to be ahead, break down boxes from baby’s crib & bassinet, stop making lists. Okey randomness. I’ve already done everything major, my house is clean & I have hardly any work on my plate right now…. I think it’s time I try to go to bed… I really want to go to bed.
