Big spender at the Thrift Shop

Our little village has a thrift shop run by the library volunteers. They have all kinds of odds and ends and lots of clothes. Today my boss and I went in to find some "extra" clothes for the day care. We have a few kids who don't have clothes appropriate for the season or who need an extra change of clothes for those "oops" days. The thrift store does community outreach and lets us come by and pick out stuff and take it for free for the day care. While we were there, I found a few things for myself. I found a Bugs Bunny video for Neal and Kinsey. They LOVE Bugs and friends. I found a hard cover Jennifer Crusie book I have not read. And last I found a pair of yoga pants that are basically new (just a quick wash to make them new to me). Guess how much I paid for those 3 things??? Ready? $.85! Yep, that's right $.85. What a bargain. I put my $.15 change into the donation jar because you just can't beat the deal I got. I'll have to go back and check more often and see what I can find!

ps. yeah yeah I know I didn't post for a few days.....

Miss Marley

This is my precious little neice Marley. I just love her to death!

I'm a college freshman now!

I went back to the college today and applied for financial aid and signed up for classes. I'm taking Composition, Basic Algebra, Freshman orientation, and New Mexico History. I think I'm most excited about New Mexico History LOL! I'm taking 3 of the classes online and basic algebra at the college. I had hoped some of my previous classes (1 year) of technical college would transfer but they won't. I took mostly computer classes plus one class each of composition, pre-algebra, and accounting. Oh well, guess I get to start over again.

Well I already blew the post every day thing and it's only day 6!

I had a bad sinus headach last night and went to bed early. Here's a pretty fall pic to distract you.

back to school

I am taking steps to go back to college. It's been almost 20 years since I took my last classes and I'm jumping back in with both feet. Today I took a placement test to see what classes I should be in. Let's just say math is not my strong subject. I will have to start from beginning algebra and work my way up again. Hopefully Kinsey doesn't catch up to me....or maybe it would be good if she could so she could help me with my homework...LOL! Here we go!
