So Dave has been frustrated as of lately cuz' he doesn't really have a work space in our home, and so he hasn't accomplished much and just ends up wasting time on (the evil word) WOW-(world of warcraft) *one can never know the passionate hatred I have for this game, but I'm working through my issues :)Anyhow he mentioned getting another computer and desk so he can work at it- *insert me thinking here "another computer, geez we already have three."
We eventually after a few weeks settled on just getting a monitor and desk and he can dueley his laptop with the monitor- So Dave now has his own little corner of nerdyness and I try to shield my eyes away from the wires hanging everywhere (it's his space, it's his space- don't worry bout it, don't look at it-it's his space)
Anyway on our little adventure to get a desk, I wanted to check out the goodwill first cuz' I rather have some desk that has potential to become something better and I could have a project to do, but negative, no desk.
(They did have an awesome chair that had such sexy legs and form that I wanted it but they were selling it in a set- bummer) But I did find some .99 cent jeans for Brynley -Score-And at Wallyworld I found some little shoes for her for $4, which we needed cuz' her little feet are squished in her old ones (I've been looking for shoes for her for awhile, I didn't want to pay full price since it's gonna be summer soon and she'll be wearing sandles, but I did feel bad for her feetsies, so I needed to get some dang shoes)

While we were at Walmart Dave said he wanted a lamp for his desk, and I seem to be attracted to anything that is green lately so this box caught my eye and the $9 clearance price tag- Yay! I also recognized it as a lamp that I'd eyed before, I liked the shade, but there was no way I'd pay the original $40 price tag (I'm too much of a cheapy or "tightwad" like my dad- too bad I don't have the middle intial T like him.) So I grabbed two of those and off we went.
I was really happy bout my clearance lamps until I realized that we'd have to carry all that we got up the stairs :( Luckily we got two pack horses, I mean Kids, to load up and help us with everything, and a super man husband! Cuz' geez who ever makes two trips that's just stupid.
On a side note- My flowers are still alive :) And I loooovvveee them.
you are awesome at deal finding! I wish you lived by me because i have sooo much to learn from you in the way of deals, and being creative. So. i have a really stupid thing to admit. I just barely found out that your husband is Tiffany's uncle. She came down with Brendell and her kids and visited tonight and we had fun looking at your blog and all of your shared relatives. The light only started to come on a week or so ago when I saw Lizzy's invitation that you made. Jeez louise, small world! I think it's so cool! another random oddity: My mom used to work for your father in law. Crazy huh? I'm sorry I am so slow on things.
ReplyDeleteI love finding great deals like those!! and Walmart is my favorite....and our sons favorite...store to shop!! they have the best prices!!!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are still alive??? Geez!!! Mine would be dead now lol!! They really are beautiful!!
it's funny you said your flowers were still alive because cody bought me flowers on thursday night for our anniversary friday and they were dead before i got them...will blog about it later...
ReplyDeleteWhere in the apartment is Dave's little station set up? I just can't get enough of your kids--they are little rays of sunshine.
ReplyDeletei was a little confused about that comment-- funny though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing to do! Good job Dave! I'm in love with those little red shoes. You should introduce her to Wizard of Oz if you haven't yet. She'll think her red shoes are the coolest. On second thought, those monkey monsters are kind of scary. Maybe don't show her Wizard of Oz -haha!
