AW Monday

Let's hear your AWs!

I start working in my new county for work this week, which means no more commuting! Well, that's not totally true yet. Until we hire a new educator I have to cover my original county and my new county, so I'll actually going to be really busy and all over the place for a few weeks. But that's okay, I'm excited to ditch my commute. It's really sad that I'm excited for our staff meeting this morning so I can be all braggy about moving into my local county and I'm even more excited to hire someone else so I won't be the bottom of the totem pole anymore.

I scored some completely ridiculous deals on shoes this weekend. Friday, we went to DSW, and I got a pair of $80 heels for $32, and a $100 pair of sneakers for $21. Then on Saturday, I drove to a huge shoe store about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh to look for wedding shoes, and while I struck out with wedding shoes, I did score another pair of heels at $10, down from the original $100.

My AW this week is that my countdown until I see FI again is less than 2 months now! I'm getting really excited!

And this is my last week as a waitress at Pizza Hut! Can't wait to be done. Waitressing is not for me

It was a pretty rotten weekend so about the only thing I can come up with is that my Cricut arrvived and I finally got to play with it this weekend.

I got my son to the school bus on time this morning, so now I have the whole day to get stuff done, or nothing at all, without having to entertain him or drive him somewhere!!!

I booked my photographer, and scheduled E-pics

I got the most comfortable lounge/yoga pants I've ever worn, on sale.

As well as some new shorts and a shirt. 

I had a good weekend, despite the hurricane coming near us. 

Cnf, congrats on your new position and shorter commute. 

Emily, Way to shop the sales, I am the same way. I get so excited over sales. 

Cn, I worked at pizza hut for 6 years, I feel your pain. Yay for FI coming home in less than 2 months!!

Fuzzies, sorry your weekend was rotten. What's a cricut?

Back to school, so while I have butt loads of work to do, I have to drive 60 less miles a day, which is glorious and my car can take a break.  Poor thing I bought it in March and it is already over 12000 miles.

I also got a "good job" from my mentor at my internship.  He said he's really impressed by me and looks forward to having me on full time!

<div>Oooo, a cricut is this really cool cutting machine.  Scrapbookers use them a lot to cut shapes out of paper to put in their scrapbooks (that's why I initially bought it).  After having used it this weekend I also discovered it can cut vinyl and other things too so it's good for more than just scrapbooking.  FI and I will definitely be using it for wedding stuff  <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /></div>

I worked all weekend! I was suppose to have off yesterday but they called me in! I picked out the look of my cake this weekend with the help of the best man! may sound weird but my FI isn't artsy at all and doesnt really care about the look. So he picked the flavors. The best man is my cousin and is like a brother to me. We are 3 months and 3 days apart so we are really close. I should him what i liked and he said yes or no. and then i showed it to FI and he said he liked it. My FI went to his last first day of school ever! He will be happy once law school is over with and he can start working! I got into a family fantasy football league and had the draft yesterday which was fun. And I get to go home for a nice long weekend to go to one of my high school best friends weddings!!!!!! I'm so excited bc we got engaged around the same time and can't wait to see what she is doing! Plus we are saying good bye to my fsil, she is studing abroad in Ireland for a trimester and leaves a few days after labor day! So had a good weekend and a good week to come!!!!!! (sorry that this was every where!)

I spent the weekend hanging out with my brother, it was a lot of fun! We hung out at my parents house on Saturday, and Sunday my daughter insisted that we bring him to the zoo. lol She adores her uncle!
I'm also really happy about how good of friends he is with my FI, my FI has this Wednesday off, so they plan on hanging out together. I'm a tad bit jealous that I'd be stuck at work while they are having fun, but I'm glad that they are getting along so well though.

So many good shopping deals!! Why is it I rarely come up with any?

I spent Friday night nursing kids through a virus, then Saturday having it myself! Had to shop with 4 kids in tow on a Saturday with a fever. Ugh! There are quite a few downfalls to having a husband who is gone way more often than he's home. Sunday, I woke up with a migraine, but my fever and nausea were gone. I took a handful of pills that got rid of the migraine and watched wedding shows all day!   Doing good today, but had a basketball blow up in my face during P.E. hour this morning. Man, do those things make a BANG!!

Oh, I know a positive thing from the weekend!! I was 3 lbs lighter this weekend than last and I haven't even been trying to diet! It was a nice surprise. I think it's the daily P.E. hour with the kids and life just getting back to super busy from school starting.

My AW is that I ordered a cute save the date banner off etsy last week to use in our e-pics and it came in the mail today! I will post a picture to the FB group since I am a lot better at posting pictures there lol.

I have two!  Like a lot of you girls, I went shopping this weekend and scored some pretty awesome stuff!  Philly has some pretty good outlets.  I lost a little bit of weight, so I needed to get new jeans.  I got three pairs for a total of $80!  I also have been hitting up the Colombia outlet a lot since I need lots of supplies for the Alaska honeymoon, and I found a $140 rain jacket and only paid $31!  I love getting amazing deals like that!

My second AW is that I pinned a recipe that called for one box of spice cake with a can of pumpkin, and the "cupcakes" ended up being soooo good and only 100 calories each since you don't add in the oil or egg!  I'm always nervous about making recipes that I pinned, but this one was sooo good and I don't feel guilty eating it!  I seriously love anything pumpkin too!

While this isn't wedding related at all, I finally caved and ordered a new stove tonight. Home Depot is running a special where if you use their credit card (which I had from buying a dryer last year) you get 12 months no interest and 10% off as a Labor Day sale. My old and current stove since the new one wont get here until Saturday, can't keep a consistent temperature (it goes straight to 400 degrees) and the piolot lights go out if ANY gas appliance in the house gets used (including itself). I am SO excited for this.

Mine is that I got to spend the weekend with FI at the NASCAR race. And I started my second week of classes today!

I said yes to the dress on Saturday! Today FI and I drove down to the outlet mall to look at a bedroom set we want from Art Van and while we were there we stopped in Things Remembered and got the 1 of the gifts for our wedding party! The guys are getting engraved pocket knives and the girls are getting engraved Blinged out flasks! I am so excited, and naturally, we had to get the same for us as well!

We did find the one we want and will most likely be ordering it today, just trying to decided between a Queen or a King.
