New Books

I am so excited! I just purchased four new books! Buying books is for sure one of my guilty pleasures. I guess it is because they are all for me. No one else in this house will have any interest in them or want to touch them or play with them or even care that they are here. They are all mine.
As most moms know this is a rare circumstance and so I relish in this little delight.
The reason I ordered four is because when you order online at Chapters/Indigo once you spend $39 you get free shipping. Well, for a shopaholic like myself free shipping is really what it's all about :)
So what did I get you ask?
The Time Travellers Wife-After seeing the trailer for this movie I just knew I HAD to have the book!



My Sisters Keeper- Another one inspired from seeing an add for a movie.


Love the one you're with- Emily Giffin. Love this author so had to try it out.



And finally Can you Keep a Secret- Another great easy read author Sophie Kinsella


Maybe once I am done reading them if I am feeling really energetic I may even do a review :)

Should have stayed in bed....

You know when it's one of those days where life would have been better had you not even gotten out of bed? Well so far today has certainly been one of them. The funny thing is that this morning for my fb status I specifically commented on what a great day it was going to be and it's like karma just had to come along and bite me in the a$$.
We started off the day by going to church where I worked in the nursery. Pretty safe so far. Jay sat in the service himself and of course our pastor went way over time but that is pretty much par for the course.
After church we wanted to run some errands and thought we would grab lunch at Costco. While there I let Jordyn play with my wallet as she was sitting in the cart. In this wallet of course had my cash from last nights wedding, my ID and all my bank cards etc... Well wouldn't you know somewhere along the way she must have dropped it! Panic sets in as we retrace all our steps through Costco. Can't find it anywhere. Oh did I mention this is the first time I'd even used this wallet?!? New purchase from Etsy.
Home we go feeling super deflated and depressed as everything I had worked for yesterday is gone :(
Get home and the phone rings. It is one of my couples waiting for me to do e pics at the park. Holy Smokes I totally forgot. I apologize profusely and run over there to do their session.
Hopefully that is all the mishaps for the day because I'm pretty worn out.
I'm just hoping some honest person will come across my wallet and turn it in...

Advertising Success

Talk about advertising success. This is what I get to listen to from my son who now insists we need a Shamwow! :)

I LOVE Etsy


I think I have a problem... It is time to come out of the closet and admit that I am addicted to shopping! Especially online shopping. It's like your not even spending real money and then these delightful packages just show up at your doorstep every couple of days!
I will admit it's gotten better because there was a point in time where I was very disappointed if there were no packages in the mail and it was simply letter mail.
I have found some great things online but the best finds are those at the wonderful website known as Etsy
My two most recent packages that arrived were a beautiful camera strap and a snazzy coat for Lacey.
Off to do more shopping!
