How to get free starbucks

So, let me tell you about my day so far... and it is not even 3:00 pm yet. So, this morning i made a check list of all the things i need to get done today. Some of which included things i needed to do outside the home. So I made arrangements with Chris for me to have the car after his lunch break today. I take him back to work and proceed to drive 20 min away to Big Lots to by Lance's little BFF a birthday present for his party on Saturday. I get there and go inside only to realize that I forgot to get the debit card from Chris. So I wasted the entire trip. Because of this I also am unable to go pick up perscriptions at Walgreens like I needed to do. So, the last stop on my list was to drop off Chris' dress pants at the cleaners. This I actually get done with no problem. I was so bummed however that I think to myself well, I have actually a couple of dollars cash so I can at least treat myself to a frap from Starbucks. I get in the drive through because I have a sleeping toddler in the back, and order. I order my ususal Caramel Lite Frappacino in Grande. Before i get to the window I am going to get my wallet out. It's not there, so I have to wait for the two cars in front of me to get their order to leave. I also cannot back up because there is a line of cars behind me. I get to the window and I am so distraught. I tell the guy, I am so sorry but I forgot my wallet at home. I live just around the corner is there anyway you can set that aside for about 5 min while i run home and get my money. He says, you know what? It is already made, don't worry about it, and hands me my much needed caffeine. And that ladies and gentlemen is how you get free Starbucks.

On another note, I got in touch with my mom's best friend from years ago, and we are having lunch sometime soon.

Longing to cook a homecooked meal

It's been a while since I blogged, i have been up to my eyeballs in a screaming toddler wanting all of mommy's attention. But, there are some exciting new things on the horizon for the Stone family.

The first of which is Chris' banquet at work. We are going to this on the 7th. It is pretty exciting because only the top 10% of his company got invited! Go hubster! We get to dress up all semi-formal and go out for a fantastic dinner! I think they will be giving away free stuff and awards and things like that, so maybe we will come home with something. Not to mention, that we have a babysitter for the night which is awesome because i wont have to go out late and then get up wit the baby early in the morning.

In other news, we also are moving! We got a new apartment in a diff complex right across the street so it will be an easy move! It is an amazing apartment! It is a second story apartment, but the cool thing is, we will have no downstairs neighbors! Our apartment is on top of our attached garage! Another simply great feature is that our front door is on the ground floor and when you come inside, you go up stairs into out dining room! It's like our own little townhome, or condo, or whatever they are called. We also have bought a new TV to go in the new apartment! Super stoked about that! Finally we can upgrade from the 27' TV that we bought 6 years ago, lol. We are also getting an x box 360 (mainly for Chris although i admit, i will probably play it)from our friends! Our new apartment is 3 bedrooms with a big living room and big dining room so now I will finally have room for my dining room table.

Also, and the biggest news.... Lance will be turning 3 on the 28th! My little man is growing up so big!!!

Thats all for now, I'll talk at you later!

Pampering

So, as you probably already know, I LOVE to pamper myself. There is not much better than sitting in a massage chair with one person making your nails beautiful, while another person is making your feet beautiful. BUT, like the rest of you, my family has come on some hard times... so in an attempt to save money, I have decided, along with my friend Jenny, to do my own feet. I bought myself a "Pedegg" to help with the softening of feet part. Now, this product works GREAT the first time you use it. But after that you need to purchase the refills because the blades on it become extremely dull. I have also discovered that I officially SUCK at painting my toes.

Today is also the start of my new.. "Get a great body for Cancun" diet. I have got to loose the extra lbs! Thats all for now!

Whatcha up to?

How have you been? Things here are going pretty good! Just cleaning and such. I should be cleaning right now, but hey, i can take a break right?

Do you ever feel like your house is never clean enough? I think that it may be because I am just dissatisfied with my things. Like I am trying to get it clean thinking it will make my place look better when in reality, I would love the money to be able to buy a few things for my home. I would like some lamps and some things for the walls, some shelves and a book shelf... those are just to start, i want an area rug for my living room! And i could go on and on and on, but I wont, lol.

I get to go shopping today to get myself a few shirts. I have been feeling like crap lately because I dont like any of my clothes. Plus a little extra poundage helps with that. I am going to try to loose some weight for Cancun! I am going to hit up a few stores near my house to see if I can put together a few outfits for cheap. That would make me feel so much better!

Well, I better get back to my chores, lol. Hope you have a fantastic day!

Sipping on some coffee!

I am sitting on my couch, with nursing my first cup of coffee of today. If you hadn't noticed yet, I love coffee. I honestly think it is what keeps me going on those days you just don't want to get out of bed. The Italian Sweet Cream... it calls to me!

I have been having a bout with cabin fever these past few days! I don't know why, I just want to be going, and doing. But mostly I think it's because I am out of meds right now and when i get by myself (without adult interaction) I get antsy. It was great last night that my best friend Merinda and her bf Andrew came over for a while. And I have plans tonight with another really close friend of mine, Jenny. She has a little boy right around Lance's age, and our husbands really get along as well, so we are making a family outing to dinner at Jen's house tonight! I am really looking forward to it.

Well, I'll write more later talking to Helen!!

Bad day

Wow, today has been one of those days so far for me. I am so irritated with everything. I do not have the patience with my son that I should, and although my cable was turned back on today, I can't get my TV to work. Sucks that I was just in the middle of a movie about 30 min ago and i didnt get to finish it.

Oh well.

As for my apartment, well, I thought it was getting clean, but I guess it will never be good enough... :/

Home Sweet Home!

After a much needed weekend away in good ole' Simpson, LA... I am home. I had such a good time visiting with my family, but I am glad to be home. So much to be done now that I am..

I have got to get this apartment clean! It is pretty much trashed. Laundry and dishes to be done not to mention just plain old cleaning.

On a lighter note, this is what Lance is getting for his birthday!
