Why I buy my toilet paper online now...

Is this a weird post or what?? TMI, maybe? Oh, vell.

So if your hubby is like my hubby, he uses an abnormal amount of TP. I think this must be a guy thing because I've heard countless other ladies mention this issue. So early on in our marriage I hunted around forever looking for a good TP that was low cost enough to feed his addition (seriously, one year for his birthday I just gave him a big box of TP and peanut butter--he was thrilled.)

I finally tried the Wal-Greens version:

Love it! So this is the only brand we've been purchasing for the past year or so. But I was getting aggravated because people were catching on to me and lately anytime I go in there they are sold out. So I thought, hey, maybe I can order it online and have it shipped to my house? Great idea, right?! Lol..well I went to Walgreens.com and as of press time, they don't sell their TP online (or anyway, everytime I check it states "out-of-stock"). Hah! But drugstore.com does! So I promptly ordered 10 packages to be sent to home--same price--free shipping + MyPoints points--yay!

Apples today

Working on using up the rest of a peck of orchard apples today. Going to make these Glazed Apple Cookies:

Recipe found here.

Also finishing up a few projects--will post pictures later.

Preppin' my apples

Oven-ready.

Voila!

 

 

Show n tell..?

I made this! Well...no....not really. I purchased a "blank" one from Michael's and colored 'er in--hah! It's one of those photo holders.

Okay, the end. Goodnight!

Lazy day

My day thus far:

Yes, thick men's socks. Don't hate. Its cold here today!

One of my favorites!

Mmmmm coffee.

I picked up a few Halloween easy-breezy crafts at Michael's a few weeks ago and I think I will "work" on those today--hubby's grilling later---and I need to get outside at some point and do some fall clean-up in the yard but other than that I am taking it easy today!

Pioneer Village

Hi everyone--today me and the hubby and the folks went to the pioneer village in our area. Yes, we have one of those. Nope, no pictures--sorry! It was rainy and kind of cold but it was still a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. They had craft vendors out but we hated to really buy anything that had been out in the rain. Tried kettle corn for the first time--okay so now I get why people walk around with big bags of kettle corn--its addicting!

I have tomorrow off from work and am planning on doing some indoor painting. Nothing major, just touch-ups on some kitchen cabinets and a wall in one of our bathrooms and I will be repainting our main bathroom cabinets--the paint on them is not only chipping off but peeling--its awful. Pictures will probably follow.

100 Days of Holidays

I signed up for Better Homes and Gardens' 100 Days of Holidays newsletter recently and have started getting some great emails with some tips, recipes and crafts I just can't wait to begin. But I get so caught up in my daily to-do's that I often miss out on the hobbies I enjoy and the things that actually make me happy (which means I'm often a grumpy-pants). I'm reminded of this fact all the time, especially days like today when my hubby is relaxing in his home office watching football all day and I'm left with a big to-do list. So jealous! There is absolutely no (real or good) reason why I can't find the time to enjoy my hobbies, too. So I'm really going to try to make an effort to make more me time. One way I'm planning on doing this is making a regular schedule for getting routine things done. I stole a pretty calendar from my hubby's office (this is in girl colors--I have no idea why he even had this?!!) and I'm going to figure out the best days for doing which tasks and try to space things out so I'm not constantly frantic and reminded of all the things I need to do yet.

Pretty calendar!

Another way I'm going to try to achieve this is by making myself more accountable by posting some fun to-do's on this blog. So probably more posts from me soon!
