GIVE ME MORE!!! Freebies too (-;

Good Morning!! I was going to post before I went to bed last night (well, technically this morning), but I couldn't find the motivation to finish. I started Farley's currently linky and...needless to say, having to choose a fav. read aloud as well as a fav teaching resource was just too much for my brain to handle. How could a lover of literature and a lover of reference and research possibly choose just one favorte of each....HOLY SNYKEES people - I am stressing out over having to choose a book...HAHAHAHA! I have definitely been staring at the computer for too many hours straight...


Before I get into the giveaways that I joined & give you some freebies (which I know you all just grab those first...it is like putting a piece of chocolate cake on a kids' dinner plate...hehehe), I am going to show you some of the cute things I have chosen to spend my $ on....This is when I was not feeling well - so what makes a girl feel better???


The BEACH! Since I don't have that in Arizona...I resort to the next best thing...SHOPPING!!!

First up...The new Bikini! Where did I get this you ask??? Good question, I am not sure exactly. but I know it was either a Sports Addict, Sports Authority, or Sports Chalet...One of those...

It is actually a bright choral color...not hot pink...maybe my phone camera couldn't distinguish between the two...

I also got the cutest cover-up that is a dress or a skirt...I loved it so much that I went back and bout two more..one for my daughter & another color for me (-;

Next, I found a glass (well, I forget what the exact name is...give me a break...it is early for me...I went to bed at 2:45am and it is now 6:30am...you get the gist) Love it!! I couldn't find one ANYWHERE that was glass...while running into Walmart....this is what I found...Awesome!! Walmart can sometimes surprise me...and not just in a bad way (-;
I have also gone on a couple service calls with my husband. If you don't know already, we own a heating and air conditioning company in AZ...yes, we are that crazy...(if you knew how hot it gets out here, then you will think we are crazy). This day was do hot...you know the kind of hot where you don't just perspire....you find that you can sweat in places you didn't even know you had...hahaha..
Look at this lady's closet!! This is definitely the worst I have seen in a residential home!! If you live where it is hot, have your hubby (or do it yourself) climb up into the attic on a very hot day (for one, you will see what it is like to work in there) and check the drain pan for leaks under the air handler or furnace. This leak (or rather, flood) was caused when the drain pan was installed and there was less than a half inch of an incline in the wrong direction!! Yes, only less than a hald-inch...Do NOT hire unlicensed people, people....this is what happens!I won't bore you with the rest of the HVAC pics...maybe later.
I will show you what my husband did last night....While I worked, he did the shopping &...look what he brought back They are already starting to die...I have no clue what I did to offend these beauties!!& he made this.... My Favorite!! There was really good chicken inside the peppers (-; My tummy was very happy!! Although, that was a lot of food - so....I will be having it for lunch today!! WOO HOO!!
