Thrifty Thridays – Shoe Collections*
When I 17 I got my first “real” job working as a sales associate at Payless Shoes. Before I took the job I had always liked shoes, but they had never been something I thought much about. I applied at the store as it was close to my parent’s home and it looked like a nice place to work. I loved absolutely everything about that job. My manager was like a second father to me, the staff was amazing, the hours were great, and I was given an amazing staff discount. I didn’t use it at first… I had my staple pairs and that was that. And then, on evenings…

Thrifty… Friday?
So. Let’s play a game. Let’s pretend that today isn’t really Thursday… let’s say it’s still… Wednesday. Which means that tomorrow will be Thursday. Which means that I still have time to write my Thrifty Thursday post for the week! (*bows head in shame*) Sorry loves. I spent all day planning how I was going to write my post and what I was going to show you, but the time to write it never actually materialized. *sigh* This week has just been insane. My house was a disaster zone today, and I could barely see my desk for all the paperwork and and clutter that was piled all over it.…

…Is it over?
Have you voted in my Thirfty Thursday Adventure poll yet?? (—>) I’m fairly certain that today was the longest day ever. Last night I got a supply call for an afternoon at one of my favourite schools. It’s close to home, the staff is fun and the kids are great. I always enjoy working there. As I had the morning off, I planned to organize the house and get all kinds of laundry done. I woke up this morning, got dressed and helped the Hubster get ready for work. I sorted the laundry, and was about to take it down to the laundry when the phone rang. I looked at…

Babies & Babbling*
He’s here. :) After many long months of waiting, my perfect little nephew arrived this morning at 9:20am. He is a healthy 9 lbs 3 oz, and both the baby and Peeah are doing well. In fact, because she is super woman, she was back at home shortly after lunch. I spoke with her this afternoon and she sounded so happy–tired, but happy. I haven’t met him yet, but I hear my little nephew has reddish blond hair and I’m positive I will absolutely melt when I hold him on Thursday. (…is it Thursday yet?) I hate that I’m not with my family right now, but as we were already…

Happy Heart Day*
Today the Hubster and I celebrated our 7th Valentine’s Day together, and I think it was one of my favourite ones ever. I think it’s safe to say that I had a rough day yesterday. After a long night (during which time little actual sleeping occurred) I awoke to supportive comments, emails and messages offering help and encouragement. Thank you for that. On a day were love is meant to be celebrated and shared, I certainly felt yours. And it meant the world to me. I have more to say on this, but that’s for another post. Today was just… perfect. I didn’t end up working, and spent a lazy…
