Weekend in Review

Saturday, Kristin came up and we (Kristin, Ava, and I) hit some yard sales.  We found a few things, but nothing spectacular.  So, we decided to hit up the clearance sale at her work - Touch of Class.  

I found SEVERAL steals!

First, I found these fabulous candle holders...that match my table and buffet!

They are the perfect addition to the window above my sink.  And the best part..they were marked down from $89.99 to $17.99.

Then, I found these tiles to hang in the tray ceiling in my kitchen.  

I've been wanting something to hang in that area for a long time, but couldn't ever find anything I liked.  These are perfect, and were marked down from $55.00 to $7.99.

Then I saw it...the perfect painting for my living....

We've been looking for a painting for our living room for awhile but I'm cheap and I never wanted to spend mega bucks for a painting, so when I saw this was marked down $110 I almost did a happy dance right in the middle of the store.

Why are you all laughing?

I'm not even kidding!!!

Ok....maybe I am.

But I did it in my mind.

I called Chris to tell him about my candle holder finds, and the painting to see if he thought I should buy it.  

Never mind the painting, sweetie, make sure you get those candle holders because you KNOW how much I LOVE candle holders.

Ok, smart-aleck! lol

Then as I was walking to the check out I spotted the perfect colored vases for my sister's new apartment.  I walked closer to get a picture and low and behold, the have butterflies imprinted into them.  Now, I know these vases are destined to be my sisters.  :)

I sent her a picture, and of course she loved them.  

Because they need new felt pads on the bottoms, they were marked down from $26/vase to $4.99.  Can you believe that???  

On the way home, Kristin and I decided to check out the ReStore store.  It's miscellaneous things people have donated, and all the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity.

On my other blog, we've decided to start a monthly book club.

Needless to say, someone had donated a HUGE stack of a book called Delta Belles, and the inscription sounded perfect for a book in this book club.  I bought ten copies!!!  Nine of us in the book club, and one for our give-away book.  The best part is that the money will go to a good cause.  You just can't beat that!

When we got home, I checked the mail, and the APPROVAL from my insurance company stating they will cover my surgery at our in-network fee was in the mail.

That MADE.MY.DAY!!!

I got home and made Chris and the kids BBQ cups with some of the left-over roast.  So easy, and a big hit.

Sunday, we went to church and I started feeling pretty tired afterwards.  Maybe it's my body's way of saying I need to slow down.

I slept almost all afternoon, last night, and have still been feeling very tired and weak today.

So, if you could, send up some extra prayers for that.

I have several pre-op appointments and blood work this week.

The countdown is on for surgery now!

ps) I can't get enough of this song!
