Paybacks

After about 4 years of my parent's babysitting Lucky while I'm at work, I get to babysit their puppy Foxie! It's a lot of fun, and she's so sad when she leaves, makes me happy! LOL But my mom thinks Foxie doesn't like her, which is so NOT true! She just doesn't want to leave her buddy Lucky! I have the opportunity to work at home some days now, so I now babysit Foxie when my dad heads to work. We have a great time.

This week I get off early every day so I pick them up and my mom picks up Foxie a couple of hours later when she gets off work. We have a system down! These are pictures of them today! Foxie doesn't like bad weather, she had a very bad experience when we were camping when she was little (the lightening scared her so bad). So, whenever a storm is brewing, she gets nervous. So, she slept most of the day.

Lucky, he's the best! He watches me everywhere I go, he loves me too!

Sprucing up the place

It's that time!! Spring has sprung and I'm ready to spruce up my front yard! I have been working A LOT (like 12-20 hours a week) of Overtime! I'm tired, but the extra cash has been worth it! I get to spend it on me and my house! I love it!

Here are my new flowers, that will go in my new pots (Big Lot find...love them) and my new potting soil. I told my parents that I'm putting my 4-H Gardening Skills to use along with my 4-H sewing skills (for my curtains)

I also purchased some pathway lights! Loving it!

These are the my new flowers before getting transplanted into my pretty pots!

My purple pot---going to spring up some yellow roses!

My red pot with my pretty yellow flowers (I forgot the name)

My brown pot with my pink roses!

My blue pot with Rosemary!

My green pot with purple flowers (and my foot)

This is Lucky taking a nap while I was gardening. I know the weeds are bad!

All my pots ready to go! Sorry a little dark!

The next day I put the pots out front. I'm going to fill in the gaps with my flowers or shrubs and maybe some colored mulch.

Getting a little color in my drab front yard!

Here are my new pathway lights!

I installed them all myself! I'm learning mad skills!

Got 2 rectanuglar pots and purple petunias!

Getting ready for the transplant!

Lucky was enjoying being outside with me

My petunias right outside my front door, I think I need one more set!

More pathway lights to the back gate!

Here it is at night! They look great, but I can't capture it on camera...so come on over and see!

I'm excited! I'm loving my front yard more and more!

Woo hoo! 2 days work and it's been worth it!

Stock up sale!

This weekend was a Stock up sale! Yes, as you can see I overloaded on the Fry's Sale! These babies were $0.38 a piece!!! YA BABY. Back in August, I gave up drinking soda, aka -Pop, all together, and this is my new treat. I really don't like water quite yet, so this is better than all the pop I was drinking. These suckers don't come on sale that often, and now they did! WOO HOO! Yesterday, I bought 4 cases, today, I bought 3 more. So, now I have a food storage started of Poweraid! If anyone comes to my house, guess what I'll be offering you!

Pictures 1 and 2 below are the cases on days 1 and 2. Picture 3 is one case in my cupboard ready to be put in the fridge for consumption! Picture 4....my food storage, aka-my guest room closet! I should be stocked for awhile!

I LOVE SALES! Even though people were eyeing my cart thinking, man this girl drinks a lot....hey, it's not soda or alcohol (never would be alcohol, but still)! I rocked it! Don't be jealous of my bargains!

One more finished

One more project done! WOO HOO! I know most of these crafts are already on my other blog (for sale) but these are new to me. I'm now replacing the ones that got stolen a couple of years ago at the place I was renting. So far, my neighborhood has been great and they haven't been touched! This one didn't take as long as the others, maybe because I have done it many times. Oh well, I still think it's cute!

Things to keep me busy

I have felt accomplished this week because I have got so many things finished and have had some fun! I have finished 2 more crafts, one for me and one for my mom and dad (see below). It's fun doing this crafts, even though they take time, I love having them for the holidays.

I have also given the dogs baths and brushed them. I have done all my laundry!

I went to a movie with my friend Nancy yesterday and to Bahama Bucks

We did our Visiting Teaching yesterday (2 of the 3 ladies, one more to go next week)

I watered all my mom's plants outside and then had to clean her floors (the cat made a couple of messes the last couple of days....gross!)

Made some cookies and dinners!

And also, worked some good old overtime once again.

It's been a productive week and I'm working on 2 more crafts, maybe I'll get them finished before the parents come home tomorrow! WOO HOO!

I've been busy!

So, I have had a couple of days to myself (boring!!!!) so I've been busy! I finally finished my curtain for the living room! I did it all by myself, well, besides cutting it out (my mom helped with with that) but I did the rest today. I also worked on an Easter decoration for my yard! I think both turned out great! Loving it! But, I still don't want the alone time :) Anyway, remember....any of decorations are for sale if you want one!

PS--the only thing left to do inside my house is 2 curtains for the kitchen windows! WOO HOO! Next stop....the yards!
