Don't be sad or broken hearted, Spread my ashes in the shoe Dept.

So i have been trying to add to my lack of a wardrobe since I found out I was getting this job. All ihad was college-y stuff. T-Shirts, Jeans, Flip-Flops, and of course my dreaded Oxford WHITE button up and black slacks. lol.

So as I find things cheap I buy them. Well, I found Dillards was having a GREAT shoe sell. I got a pair of Kenneth Cole flats, Jessica Simpson Flats, and nice leather heels Gianni Bini all for 43 dollars.
Would have been about 240 for all of them PRE sale.

 *the brown ones are cuter in person I think, while I'm wearing them with my brown skirted suit ;]

Monday Night Deals & a laugh.

So Yesterday I worked a split but got off a little early because it was slow.. (ugh) So i headed to Tiger Town after work to Ross & Kohls. I needed to find Jeb some nice pants for his interview incase we don't find a nice suit at a nice price he can always wear slacks and a blazer. (WHICH he looks smokin' in! ) Everyone knows I buy nothing full price. I either have coupons or its on clearance. I'm cheap sometimes, I know. But hey, I save money!


So, I found these at Ross! I was SO excited. 

$60 dollar Dockers for.. 

$8.99! Score. 


Then I went to Kohls and found some great savings on the clearance rack!
These cute earrings!

and a really cute matching bracelet.. 



Yay! Cute stuff for very cheap. That's the best to me! :]


..So the laugh- I was reading Cosmo (my bible) when I read this article..

                well I have seen Jeb do quite a few of these! haha. Can you guess which ones?!
                 I love my husband more than anything :]

My week.

This has been a very great week.. just work and Jeb :] He's been home this week and it's been very nice! I love waking up and making breakfast for us.. and having someone to cuddle with! (it's been cold here so that's a plus at night!)

He got an interview with the Kia plant for the 8th of February (wish him luck!) and I'm excited. I know its not archaeology or his idea of what he wanted to do but he'd be home with me every night which something I have not had in a year and a half. I miss him VERY much and I'm ready to see him everyday!

I decided to start taking more pictures and posting them for my family and friends who follow this blog.. so here was my morning on Thursday this past week.

I woke up to having to take this:

(which works miracles I swear by it!)

so Jeb suggested we make these..

which always taste wonderful! Even little Lola seemed interested :]

Just thought I'd share a fun morning with you all!

ps.. We also recently received a snuggie as a gift from my in-laws and you'd be surprised who always uses it!

He might kill me for this! Have a good week everyone! Love you.

Its been a bit.

Sorry I got a little behind! :] A lot has happened recently. Good and Bad, but you gotta have both right?

I got a career going! Starting to train with Kmart for Management making good money and SOOO READY! I have to get my background check, credit check, and drug testing done this week before they give me a location & start date. District Manager says it looks like I'll start in mid February.

Jeb is home this week. He is trying to decide what to do next. He got demoted from Lab and Field to just field which stinks money wise.. and we are a little behind right now. I wish he were able to go back to school right now but we just can't afford it at the time. I want him to apply to the KIA plant and just work there a couple years til we can pay off my Loans from school and then send him back. We'll see how it goes.

I'm ready for the chance to start a career.. and I'm very excited. You guys know I'm a hard worker so I think this is a GREAT job for me! :]

Alright EVERYONE have a great week and I'll keep you posted!

WAR EAGLE! Oh and Go Colts! (I got your back KDUB!)

Sunday.

Not a lot on my mind tonight other than the typical money, family, and life issues. But one thing keeps lingering in my mind and that's babies. I see friends who already have them and are expecting more! When's it going to be my time? I know I'm only 23 but sometimes I wonder. So much money to pay off and sooooo much to do- like where am I EVER going to get a job. I truly need one BAD. If anyone out there is listening could you put in a good word for me?! Thanks. :]

I hope everyone has a great week! Here's to this week! I hope its wonderful for me, too!

Thoughts.

I had a night alone tonight. I took a long bath, watched the People's Choice Awards, watched The Proposal, and cleaned a little. Most of my nights are spent alone due to Jeb traveling, 72% of my time is without him. Although I hate it, tonight I had a lot of time to think. Some happy thoughts some sad, but all together much needed thoughts.

For the first time I think in my life I sat alone with no tv on, or music to fill the silence. No computer in my face or book. Anyone who knows me knows I am scared to death of the dark and when it's night I MUST have something going to distract me from the fact. But just then I looked down and see Lou and Lola. I realized I am not alone. I am thankful for those amazing creatures and to all you out there who are animal lovers you understand. When I am down they are there to love me, cuddle me, and drive me insane. They mean so very much to me. <3

I know they miss Jeb too. When I walk through the door, esp Lola looks instantly behind me to find her Dad. She's depressed because he is gone. She loves him as does Lou. We all do. We miss you when you're gone Jeb.

The New Year.

We all start off the new year by claiming to be able to keep up "resolutions" and usually after a few weeks we fall flat or we just end up thinking it's too hard to keep trying. This year is going to be different because in order to move forward in my life I have to do these "resolutions".. it is time to do the things i set out to do. It's year 24 of life.. and I am grasping it.

1. I am going to save ALL my pictures to CD's, label them, and organize inside cases. I don't ever want to lose all my pictures again.

2. I am going to walk 3 mornings a week, then gradually begin running again because I use to love to run- but eventually got too busy with school and work. Now that Jeb is traveling a lot and I have no more school I have NO excuses!

3. Seriously cutting out a majority of salt from my diet.. I eat WAY too much of it. It is constantly making me feel bloated and I am ready to not feel that way anymore!

4. Talk to Jeb at least 20 minutes a night M-F on the phone when he is traveling because we get way too hectic and forget about spending time together!

5. Keep my house more in order.. I am a very organized person but certain times I just let things go when Jeb is gone.

6. Find a job. A job with my degree.

7. Get Jeb to take the GRE so he can get back into school to gain his Master's and eventually his PHD.

8. Take better care of me: Not just eating better and working out but focusing on me for once in my life. I always focus on others and while that's a good thing it can also be bad. I need me time too.

9. See my family more often. I miss them.

10. I cut up my Victoria's Secret and Old Navy cards (which anyone who knows me well knows that Victoria's Secret is my weakness) -- I plan to have them paid off by this time next year.

11. Grow in my relationship as we experience our next year of marriage. I'm very happily in love and I plan to only become more in love this year!
