Two Year Shoes

 I'm not very materialistic. Or maybe I am and I live in denial about it. Whatever. I work hard for my money and my bills get paid so when I can go out and spend a fe wbucks. I do. I actually get my happy spending moments when I buy for the kids or the husband. I very rarely buy things for myself. Except today. Husband has been nagging at me you see. I have a pair of Sketchers which I adore with all my heart. They are those Shape-Ups that two years ago, cost me a hundred dollars. And about a week's worth of nagging from Husband telling me how dumb to spend so much money on shoes. No way would they lost very long right? WRONG! Two year shoes folks. So today I got a different kind of nagging. I was forced, against my will, to buy shoes. Just because mine happened to be a tad bit dirty and the bottoms were starting to peel up. Whatever. So I bought shoes today. I have never owned Nikes and that's all I'll say about them. For the price I paid, these better be the new two year shoes. Or three for that matter. I'm very good to my shoes. And very cheap lol. But I like these shoes. And even better, I'm sticking it to the government. I saved my reciept. For you see, I bought these for work. So I'm using them as a deduction next year. Along with the four pairs of scrubs I bought today. I'm saving every receipt that I can and next year, I will be getting paid back. Booyah IRS! I told my accountant that a few days ago and he laughed at me. He says I take the IRS too personal. Uhhh...Yes, yes I do. I don't like giving away my money :( I'm cheap like that thankssomuch! But anyways, if you ever wonder about Sketchers Shape-Ups (No I'm not getting paid for saying any of this by the way!) They are incredible, durable, and perfection. Very worth every dime!
 I also bought a few books today. I love books. And I read far too much. Thanks to my Kindle, I can read anywhere. And I do! I like going down to the old morgue at work during lunch and reading or watching Grey's Anatomy on the Netflix app on my phone. I. Am a nerd if you didn't know. My favorite authors? Karen Kingsbury and Faye Kellerman (but only the Peter Decker series) I do have stand alone favorites of course and right now I am reading The Vow and it is so far really awesome. It's hard to put it down. And I am so glad the characters are so firmly tied to God. Husband and I have an incredible marriage, an incredible love story at that, but my biggest hope is that should a true crisis arise, we would both stand firm with each other. I say true because so far nothing in life has given us anything crisis mode, thank you Jesus! But one day something will come along. Until then, everything is just a practice trial, lol. I saw a post on pinterest and it had a photo of a sign that read "One day when my children ask me who my first love was, I want to point across the room and say your father" or something to that effect. Marriage is such a high belief of mine and I am so very anti divorce. Anything can be fixed. ANYTHING.
 My bulldog decided to kick into heat. She's staying inside to avoid certain events that would include babies due to our male pit bull. She's sleeping with my Milo dog (the tiny pup I just got) in his cage and it is super funny.

 That is our Angel (the bulldog) and my Milo. Sharing ever so nicely. Not quite fitting though lol. Milo comes out in just a little bit, she'll stay in. The whole bleeding thing is not my piece of bacon. But those are two out of three of our loves. Angel is actually my husband's. She was his birthday and anniversary gift from last year. She's such a doll. We also have our pit bull, Andre, who contrary to popular belief will not kill anyone nor bite them out of nowhere nor does he deserve to die just because he is a pit bull. I get kind of upset when people discriminate against my dog. Don't break into my house and don't hurt my children and my dog won't be vicious with anyone. He's a sweetie too. He has this annoying thing of climbing into bed with me or my son when my husband is gone. I have this annoying thing of letting him too....It's awful I know, I'm a bad doggy parent. LoL. And the treats I have hidden under my tupperwear drawer where Husband can't find them? I don't possibly give them to the dogs whenever he is gone just because of the cuteness....Never! LoL

 My cat however is a bit of a pain. I will be the crazy cat lady one day. i will have at least six cats running around. Cats are my cup of tea. They survive on their own, act prissy and are very good at cuddling. Especially under the covers, behind my knees on my electric blanket. Dirty heat thieves....

 I am afraid I have introduced my husband to the world of crafts. He picked up his second model last week, a ship this time I do believe. (He has a car already) and of course we stopped by today to get more paints and various supplies for him. Hobby Lobby is my new haven. I pick up all my cake and baking stuff there as well as tons of crafty stuff. I didn't want to stop there today but Husband insisted so I made him get me a new flower pop mold and another bag of lollipop sticks and baggies. I love cake pops! Super cute! And now I have been toying around with cake pops. I have a flower mold to play with now. I might post pictures sometime. I also picked up a picture. I can't draw or paint at all. But I'm going to try. It's a paint by number though, LOL! I supposedly can't mess it up. We shall see...

 Okay now that I realize I have written a book here, I am popping in a movie to watch with Husband and then finishing up some e-mails. I hope you all are enjoying the weekend so far! Toodles!
