Friday Thoughts

When you- my lovely readers, read this I will be well on my way to meet up with my April for the night! If you remember she moved late last year and I have not seen her since Thanksgiving! So we made a plan to meet half way in a random town in Illinois and have an Apes and Cherrybear date at Olive Garden! I am SO excited! I have missed her so much! She decided that we are dressing up for this auspicious occasion, so I am wearing my pretty blue Easter dress and attempting to do my hair up pretty. Yeah, we'll see how THAT goes! Regardless, I hopefully will have much pictures to share next week! 

As if that wasn't enough fun for the weekend, on Saturday I am finally getting a new bed! I scored a Queen Bed on Craigslist for way less than my budget so I am more excited than you know! My Mom is picking it up and then the two of us will lug it up to my third floor apt. In other news if anyone wants a double bed, I have one for sale! ;)

I won't be getting my new Queen Bed set until I move most likely. I'm so proud of my little Frugal self because I have enough My Points to get a gift card for the store my bedding is at. So I'm going to walk away with a several hundred dollar bed set, only paying about 29.00 out of pocket. Yes, my Couponing Momma taught me well!!!!!

And last but not least, I have to blog about my precious nephew being here last weekend and the moments with him that I want to remember! Everytime I try to write about him though I get all teary and miss him so I stop writing. Soon I shall overcome my Auntie-Sappyness and put pen to paper. erm. um. well.. finger to keyboard, and tell you all the cute things he is up to these days!

Until then, Peace out Homeslice!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
