Did you know?

Over the last couple of days I have been learning the meaning and spelling to a few words I thought I knew only to realize I had no idea.
So did you know tenure is not TEN YEARS?
Did you know that a Lasagna Garden is not for growing ingredients to make LASAGNA?
Did you know that it is called Hand Me Downs and not HANDY DOWNS?
I have a few more and when I think of them I will let you know.

My Random

The other day I have been thinking about a lot of different things in life. This is what I have been think of...
1. Once upon a time I loved couponing because I got these great deals but I have not had the motivation to find the deals like I used to. Even though it saved our family a lot of money and helped build our food storage I haven't been a faithful couponer like I should. I realized that I would buy things because it was a good deal and not because our family needed it. I have realized that it is good to save money but it is also really fun to save your money and then buy something that you really want and will actually use. Don't buy a shirt for 47 cents at Old Navy because it will just takes space up in your closet cause you are never going to wear it. There was a reason it was 47 cents.
2. I am really sad that the weather is so cold only because it puts a stop to my spray painting jobs. I really miss spray painting crap but when I will not see temperatures above 60F for at least 5 more months it is kind of depressing.
3. I realized that it has been six months since I have gotten more than 4 hours of sleep in one given time. I think that does something to your mind. After I self diagnosed myself with a case of postpartum depression I started to feel a lot better about life. Once I realized that I wasn't crazy I just needed help and to talk about it I felt like I could do this. I stopped waking up and thinking I can't do today but I thought This is going to be a Good Day. I just needed to get showered and dressed by a reasonable hour. I also started taking this product Green2O and it calmed my anxiety and help me get through the day. Some days I still struggle but I feel a lot better.
4. Facebook. I love facebook. I love that you can keep in contact with old friends and make new friends. I love that people will look at every picture in your albums but if you were to tell them to come over to look at your vacation pictures or baby pictures they would probably tell you that was the night they washing their cat. I love that you can know instantly when people have their babies or brushing their teeth. I love how people can say things and it is totally inappropriate. They would never say that to your face but for some reason they feel that they can say it on Facebeook for everyone to see. I actually really don't love that about Facebook. Lesson learned.

President Monson

I have been reading President Monson's biography To the Rescue and I have to say it is one of my new favorite books. I started reading a couple chapters at my Grandpa's house and I was like I need to buy this book. If you know us then you know we buy books at the DI or borrow books from the library. But this was a must have in my book collection. So I took my Christmas money and went to Seagull book where I bought President Thomas S. Monson's book. I have never spent that much on a book and it is so worth it. I love reading every page and every story. I feel like every day I can take a moment or an hour, and let the Prophet into my home and learn from his life experiences. I know that he has and will always follow a prompting that he receives from the spirit. I know he is a prophet of God and has been prepared his whole life to be the prophet at this time in the world. If I ever have a question about how or what I should be doing with my life I know that if I follow the counsel of the prophet we will never be lead astray. So I recommend this book and after reading it you will want to be a better person. I know I will. Church is true.

filing Cabinet

We got this off Craigslist and realized we didn't really want it for what we got it for so I tried to sell it again on Craigslist with no real luck. So I decided to give is a makeover and complete Gavin's furniture in his room. I painted it white and spray painted the brass black.

Twilight Round Two

Rumor has it that if you reread a book it gets even better the second and third time you read it. Well besides picture books and scriptures I don't think I have ever re read a book for fun. My sister reads books over and over again so I decided I would give it a try and if I can't do it well no harm cause I know what is already going to happen. I decided to choose Twilight cause it is an easy good read. Guess what?? I am really enjoying it. I found that I am not skipping over words to find out what is going to happen next. I realized that there was a lot of foreshadowing and funny inside jokes. I don't feel the need to lock myself in my bathroom while I find out what happens next. I am actually pleasantly surprised how much I am enjoying rereading a book. Who knew?

So I finished reading the book and loved it a lot better the second time. The best part about it was after I was done reading I borrowed the movie from my sister and watched it with my husband. It was his very first time watching the movie and I made sure to inform him the book is a lot better and those weird climbing trees scenes didn't happen in the book.

White Dresser

This was my dresser growing up and we had it downstairs in Grandma's room but it was time for a little redo. With Emory's help we took off the hardware.It had a laminate covering on it so I gave it a good sanding.
Then I painted it with left over primer and white paint from when we finished our basement. I spray painted the hardware black and now we have a new dresser for Gavin's room. I also found one of Brandon's old airplane from when he was a kid and spray painted it black for decoration.

Kitty Trunk

When I was a kid my parents got me this KITTY Box and I loved it. I have had all sorts of memories hidden away in my Kitty Box. But Kitty was starting to get a little old and worn and I thought it needed a little makeover.
So I brought out the spray paint and sprayed all the brassy looking things.Then used a little scrapbook paper and a lot of modge podge and this is what I came up with.
Good bye Kitty box. I loved you when I was 10 and love you even more now. I might even let you stay out of our storage room.

Spray Painting

I really need to find a hobby I like and stick with it. I become obsessed with a hobby for a few months and then I dump it for my next new obsession. So over the last couple of years I have tried a little digital scrapbooking, photoshoping, blogging, cooking, couponing, reading, huluing (is that even a word), cleaning, and decorating. Some of those aren't really obsessions I just had to throw them in there so my list would look longer. But my new obsession is spray painting. We joke that all I want for Christmas is some old crap pieces of furniture and a few cans of spray paint and I would be happy.... oh and a laptop.:) So this is what I have been up to lately.
Candle sticks from the DI and I spray painted them black.
Silver platter from my aunt and I spray painted it white and painted a J on it. The frame was from my great uncle Garth and it was a mustard yellow and I spray painted it black.
The other frames came from my uncle who was just practicing how to make picture frames. He was going to throw them away but my mom saved them and I reincarnated them.

I got this calendar holder from the DI for $3. I painted it black and then distressed some of the edges and put a dark walnut stain over what I had just sanded.

I got this tray from a garage sale for 50 cents. It was half off. So I painted it black and sanded the edges and put stain on the places I sanded. I Modge Podged a piece of paper to the inside of the tray and glued on the sliver plate which was from my aunt. Then I added a candle. A lot of these things are someones trash that I was able to make into my treasure and it is all thanks to my favorite website for inspiration.

Thrift Store

The Bonneville Humane Society Thrift Store (444 North Eastern Avenue Idaho Falls, ID 83402-3735 - (208) 522-6469) is an interesting place if you have never been. It is a block down from the Museum of Idaho. I went there today and they had 5 sale racks of clothes, adult to infant, that they were trying to get rid of cause each item of clothing cost 5 cents. The store smells a little funny cause they have cats in the store but if you are looking for that ugly sweater or you might just surprise yourself and actually find something you need. I got a blessing outfit and who knows if I will use for the baby it but it was 5 cents. So no going into debt for an outfit they only wear once.:)

JcPenny

I love JcPenny clearance because it is an actual clearance. Today I went to the mall and found 12month-5T clothes for $0.97 each plus it was 20% off because it was Friends and Family day. So I spent $21 and saved $385. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

My Great Find

Last week I went to Walgreens and got a lot of "Free" stuff because of RR. So I went back later in the week and I was looking through the clearance at the end of the isle and found the game Lost for $2.49 and Crest White strips regularly $31 and it was discounted to $7.87. I looked through my coupons and found a $7.00 off coupon for Crest White stripes from PG so they ended up being $.87. I was pretty excited and the cashier in cosmetics said she had a $1.00 off coupon for the mascara I was buying so by the end of the week I walked out of Walgreens with $26 dollars in RR. I am just hoping they have some good things on sale next week.
