Feeling a little ashamed....

I haven't written a blog post since May 1. I do apologize to my readers and thank you for being so faithful to always be here when I do catch up. I am changing my routine to insure I don't forget to blog everyday. So here is a quick review of the past 9 days that I have missed.

I had the pleasure of having lunch one day with my bestie, Mendi. We never run out of things to talk about and we are forever laughing when we are together. Me meet for lunch before we go into work about once a week.

Met with another friend last Friday. She had attended an auction and these bowls were for sale. She won the bid and got them for $15 for me. I love people who find me good deals. I just need to get one more to complete this set. 

Colby and Alexis came over to spend the night last Friday night.  

We went to the Stampede for dinner. We had a blast...even if we did have to cheer for the North side. 

Made some of my homemade peanut butter candy last week. It takes about 8-10 minutes from the minute you start until it is done. I love this candy. 

Needed some new black flip flops. Found these at Walmart for just $9 and they are by far the most comfortable flip flops I have ever bought.

Saturday, I went to a tea cup & saucer exchange at my church. We had an amazing time. I am going to share more on that later. But this was the set I got in the exchange. I couldn't be happier.

I won a door prize as well. Got these cute jars with my favorite words on them.

Went to work the next day and one of my friends had this little gift for me. I love it.

I put it on the nightstand so I see it every morning and every night. It reminds me to dare to be whatever I want to be. 

I had bought this little bird house and never did anything with it. I painted it and put scrapbook paper for the roof. I love it. 

It goes great in my dining room.

Thursday was a great happy mail day. My niece Christy sent me some air fresheners that I just love. 

My niece Amy sent me this for my water bottles and the key chain to hold chap stick. 

We had a C & C meeting for Thirty-One last Monday. I tore the soft tissue in my back that day by slipping getting out of the tub. I could barely move to get up and off the couch. So I missed the meeting, but they mailed me my amenity anyway. I just adore this cactus pattern.

A friend of mine wanted me to go to Smoky Mountain Knife Works with him. We spent about an hour in the kitchen ware department. We saw this little tea for one set with an infuser. I told my daughter about it because she works there. Guess what she brought me a few days later.

Now it holds a place of honor in my kitchen. I just adore it.

I haven't done much since Monday. I was off on Monday and then went to the doctor on Tuesday for my back. Got some medicine that has really helped and I'm on the mend. Worked shorter hours on Wed, Thurs, and Fri. Today is my day off. New schedule starts tomorrow and I am off for Mother's Day and Monday. So I ended up with a three day weekend. Heading out for shopping today. I saw some cute shirts on Burke's website so I want to see if I can find either of these in stock there. They have amazing prices. 

If they do have either of them, I hope it is the pineapple and flag. I fell in love with it. Well, that's my first 10 days of May review. I'm back on track now.
