Random thoughts...

Some random thoughts of the day:

• I have the best cat. He purrs and sits on my lap while I clip all his nails. He also meows a lot. Ok he doesn't think he's meowing...he thinks he's talking to us.
• I am super excited to start watching the Scarlett miniseries that is based on the book Scarlett, sequel to Gone With The Wind. The actors who play Rhett and Scarlett are no Vivien Leigh and no Clark Gable but it is a great book that needed to be turned into a movie or TV show! My husband can tell you...the entire time I was reading Scarlett I kept saying "This book needs to be made into a TV show! It would probably suck without Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable but it needs to be done!" Lo and behold...someone did in 1994! Only 3 years after Alexandra Ripley wrote Scarlett!
• How did Miss Frizzle teach science with a MAGIC school bus?
• I want need a dresser so badly. Why are they so difficult to find??
• I desperately miss riding horses. Gotta find a barn here in Lynchburg.
• Has anyone ever heard of a little wooden toy called a hootie stick? You're probably from the Richmond area if you have! I'll probably have to elaborate more on that later. 
• Lastly...what am I doing on the computer?? We have a friend staying with us for a few days so I need to get my butt in gear and do some cleaning! 

Feeling some random thoughts lately? There are so many but I forget to write them down! How about you?

Till next time,

Potential Weekend Adventures

Today, I'm thankful to be saved by God's grace. I grew up in a Christian home and we went to church but I didn't really get it. One day, in a different church, the pieces fell into place. That was about 8 years ago and my life has never been the same. It's been a difficult but wonderful journey. 

By the way, these "I'm thankful for" posts are not going to be in any order of importance. I'm just writing them as I think of them.

I am so looking forward to this weekend! I don't have to work and neither does my husband! It's finally a weekend where we can do whatever we want to do! He tends to go out of town a lot for work so it's nice when he has a whole weekend home! That's not to say something can't come up last minute, but for now we're just going to enjoy it. Tomorrow in downtown Lynchburg there is an event called Bargain Mart 2012. That sounds right up my alley! It says that it's Lynchburg's largest indoor yard sale. I can hardly wait! I'm telling myself we're just going to go and "window shop" but I've got a little bit of cash in my wallet just in case we find something good! I'm going to keep my "crafty glasses" on while looking in hopes of finding a good project just waiting for us. Hopefully I'll have something awesome to share with you all tomorrow.

I'm really looking forward to finding a cheap dresser set (a highboy and a long dresser) that we can paint white and add new hardware to for our bedroom. Yessss...we've been married for over 6 months and I still don't have my own dresser! It's ok...I've got the big closet and a bunch of plastic drawers (classy!), so it's bearable.

Wish me luck in some bargain hunting at Bargain Mart 2012!

Do you enjoy yard sale-ing? Do you go with something in mind or do you just look around until you find that perfect deal?

Till next time,
Catherine
