Adventures in shopping

My life this week...or adventures :)

The weather has been beautiful here, so I have ventured out to find some walking paths...

I found a park not to far away, but no sidewalk to travel on until you get there, so it was a little dangerous getting there, but I made it.

 Here is the park, I plan on spending a lot of time here.

I will also take a picture when all the leaves turn green and share it!

 On Wednesday, I went to work with David so I could take the truck and go exploring...

First up, Goodwill.

The Goodwill's in Texas are NOT the same as in Arizona.

They say EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas...

not Goodwill's

SADNESS :(

I did manage to find a few cute things.

I also found 2 more thift stores...

I gotta say, I was looking forward to new thrifting experiences, but

I guess I will have to keep looking??

Then the AMAZING 99 cent store, is not ONLY 99 cents and they

sell alcohol???

(dont worry, I didnt buy any!)

One thing I DO LOVE about Texas....SWEET TEA! It is everywhere you go! Yum

I do limit myself to only one a week!

 

  We did find a few antique stores and I had to buy the little mason jar.

Isn't it sooo cute? I put the nail polish bottle next to it so you can see how small it is.

ANDDDDD it was made in Texas!

 I also found these little treasure. You may say...WHY????

I just love the way they have aged and I have a wonderful project to use them for,

maybe another blog someday :)

 Oh no, how did this handsome face get in my blog??

Just missing his face, and he sent me a this picture that brighten my day!

For those of you who don't know, this is Tyler my oldest son, who moved to Idaho last summer.

He loves it there, happy for him, sad for me.

I will get to see his handsome face, and hear his amazing laugh in person, in just a few short weeks

YIPEEEEE

 

Spring is in the air here

and that MAKEs ME HAPPY!

 

Ok, I have to get back to the whole shoe thing...and a few more issues I am having

I went to the mall today to try and find a cute, but comfortable pair of sandals.

A pair that I can do my walking in, and wear my skirts with (remember my PREFERRED wardrobe)

well...2 1/2 hours later...nada...nothing...zippo :(

I know shocking isn't it?

So...I was at the mall...I HAD to buy something, right???

NOPE!!!

I look, tried on, went to almost everystore. I even let someone put make up on ONLY one side

of my face, and she tried EVERYTHING to get me to purchase it.

She told me my husband would say I was beautiful

Silly girl, he tells me that all the time, with or without make.

Yes, I am blessed with a wonderful husband!

But one sided makeup face, does NOT stop me for searching for something

to make me feel pretty

but.. ZIPPO

I EVEN had a gift card, THAT IS FREE MONEY TO BLOW PEOPLE

Why you say?

Well since I am in my forties(read previous blog) it seems there are NO CLOTHING styles out there for me.

I mean, come on...Have any of you, close to my age found it hard to shop?

We either have to shop way too trendy or junior sections,

unless you can afford Macy or Dillard, which I can't

So that leaves me...teeny boppers or old lady clothes

It is all very sad :(

Maybe I should find some people to start an affordable clothing line for women over 40,

but not 80????

Well since I couldn't find anything to buy, and I was getting a little depressed

about the clothing thing and the "over 40 and menopause" weight.

I had to do SOMETHING to feel pretty...

So, what can you do but stop at Target and pick up some new pink nail polish!

Awww, yep I feel much better, and a little pretty.

So these are just a few of my adventures this week :)
