Black Friday

 Ok so the first picture was me heading home for Thanksgiving, had to throw it in here! I was pretty happy!
 So Thanksgiving night my Mom talked me and Grams into going into Rensselaer for Walmart's Black Friday Thursday night specials. It. was.a.nightmare. I have never seen a store fail like that before. We and the people we stood in line with are all complaining about it. If Walmart doesn't step up you'd better believe I will blog in great detail about that horrific 3 hours I spent standing in line.
 Grams and I wanted laptops. Brilliant people that Rensselaer Walmart are, they had 6. That's right 6. 6 Laptops for their biggest shopping day of the year. So we had to buy the 100 more expensive one which did not make us very happy. But by that point it was too late to drive the hour to Lafayette to get their deals, as theirs would have been gone all ready.
 We didn't get home until after 1 am. And we got there at 9:45. That should tell you something. All we did was stand in line. My feet hurt SO BAD after we got home. Mom tried to rest on her sweeper that she got, alas some very bored very annoyed daughter of hers was taking pictures trying to entertain herself.
 We were 12 feet away from the check out, with over 300+ people behind us. The idiots there at Walmart did not have lines it was chaos. Mass chaos. In fact I never saw any workers other than the ones at the check outs.  So our line had over 300+ people in it, and wrapped the length of the store and then back up again. We were to go thru ONE, yes ONE, check out line, as people back straight behind the check out lanes were going through the other ones. Again no official lines, no walmart workers. We stood 12 feet away from the check out for almost 2 hours. Pathetic. We were in horrible moods by the time we left.
We ran into my Uncle and his wife and let them in our line, cuz we rock like that, and he also had a cart, which we didn't have. So we piled our stuff on his cart and Grams and Susie laid on it. If I could have fit before I totally would have laid down. It was fun running into them though, gave us someone to talk to for 2 hours. All in all though it was horrible. Nightmare experience. If I had known that Walmart was basically going to have no plan and no employees I would have stayed home. It really ruined our Thanksgiving night. Epic Fail Rensselaer Walmart. EPIC FAIL.

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
