T.G.I.F

Thank Goodness It's Friday!!!!!

What a week.....

The weather here in Ohio has been cold a few days and yesterday it was actually nice out.  TODAY the weather man is calling for snow flurries and a high 30 degrees........  With that being said I am patiently waiting on spring time to arrive......

Open Door policy at my house~

My Oldest son moved back home after having his own place for 2 Years, I'm glad he is home:) It's hurtful to see anyone of my children to struggle to survive at such a young age.  I am excited to see that the new year has in store for him......

My how time flies!!!!!
My daughter is 7 1/2 months pregnant with my 2nd grandchild, already being seen every 2 week's......My granddaughter is 3 and this is my 1st Grandson:) Can you say A Fullhouse!!!! Lol....yes they all live with me including the babies daddy.....I'm getting excited and nervous as the time comes near.... But we will be alright...... I'M getting things together for her Baby Shower that were having next weekend, that will be fun:)

OH what else is happening?

Taxtime:)
Patiently waiting for our money!!!
Lol, Can you say SHOPPING!!!  It's always a pain to do taxes because my hubby is a subcontractor and has to pay taxes but we always get some back,which makes it nice!

Organization!!!
One thing I try to do with bills, money and household things.....believe it or not but I sure can make a mess!! 1 thing that I have learned that helps me with my grocery shopping and cooking meals is making a weekly menu list.....Instead of me running to the store 4 times a week I go once now:) which is really nice for me becuz living in the country is always a disadvantage when you have to drive 30 minutes or so to get a gallon of milk......

And There was VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
I cooked Homemade Chicken n Dumplings with mashed potatoes and cornbread for dinner and then I baked a cake....nothing fancy but it was good:)

My week wasn't to exciting but it's what makes me....

I am currently posting/blogging from my phone which is little unusual for me...waiting on my new computer but until it's the phone: )

Thanks for following and as always please leave comments as I will b sure to return the favor!  HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED WEEKEND!

Happy New Year 2013!!!!

Trade & Save @ Best Buy

I came across this deal from another post and thought this was a great idea for anyone that has electronics laying around from 2012 that might have value and could use a few extra bucks, so i thought i would share:)

Best Buy is offering the opportunity to Trade In and Save in celebration of our upcoming year 2013.

I don't have a Best Buy near me to do this at but I am sure alot of you do so what better way to start off the New Year 2013 by making some extra money:))

You can trade in your electronics at a participating Best Buy Stores or online – and score $5.00. 

You can click on the link and  head over and find your trade-in value through the links on this page; then, locate a participating store and bring the product in (or,if you decide to do the online way you can just use the mail option)

You’ll then be eligible to receive a Best Buy Gift Card for your item in the amount of $5.00 to be used on anything in the store $5 or more..

One other good thing is if your items have no value they will recycle them for you for free....How awesome is that, this can save you time and money:)) 

Thanks, JoAnna

A Long time waiting

I have been with my husband for almost 21 years and we have been married for going on 12 years:)  We have 3 kids that are all of age except my daughter is 17......only 9 more month!!!! lol anywhooooo  We never find time to spend time with each other like we use to and I said the new year of 2013 was going to bring us together again like before.........So he took me to dinner:))))))) Shocked the heck outta me...lol We didn't go to no place fancy....actually we are rednecks from the country so The 7 Mile BBQ & Grill was right up my alley!!! First time eating there and it was awesome......I got my belly full, had long conversation with my hubby and met the owner and wife that r awesome people.....very friendly i must say:) So if you have a 7 Mile BBQ & Grill i recommend them for dinner one night.......Thanks for stopping by and hope to have you come back and follow........I will follow back, just leave me a comment and i will return the favor!!!!!

15 Day Blogger Challenge Day 2

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?  SMALL TOWN OR BIG CITY?

I was Born in Xenia, Ohio

Not really sure how long I lived here as a child but then we moved to Fairborn, Ohio which is only 15 minutes away and that is where i pretty much grew up as a child.........My parents got divorced and i went and moved with my Dad in Louisiana for a few years, and then to Orlando, Florida where i went to High School.  Then i ended up back in small town Fairborn with my Mother:))  I don't really consider Xenia a Big City but to some it might be!!

I never did like this town as i got old enough to know about it.....Only reason is because Tornadoes hit this town every chance it can get:(  If you ever get the chance to look it up, Google Xenia, Ohio and see all the tornadoes that have hit there and all the damage it has done.....It's just alwful

I now live in a Small Town.....It''s where my husband is from and I love it here!!!!

Like i said before City Girl Gone Country:))
