Date Night & Shopping All In One Week!

This actually for the most part has been a great week.
With the exception of when I kept telling DH the den smelled funny.  I thought it was something we'd saved from the flood maybe, I mean it was bad.  Come to find out one of his "animal urines" had busted in his hunting stuff, henceforth the horrible smell.  At least we figured it out and got it resolved quickly.  

DH and I had an impromptu date Wednesday night.  We had Chinese and went to see Country Strong. 

It is the best movie I think I've seen since Walk the Line.  If you're into country music you will like it. 

I fell in love with this guy's singing, he did all his own in the movie.  It is an old country sound

Here is one of my favorite songs he did. 

Today I went shopping with a friend of mine in Lexington.  She loves to scrapbook, so we hit a couple of scrapbook shops, Michaels, the mall and my favorite Hobby Lobby.  

Here are a few things I picked up today.....

At Williams Sonoma a lady gave me a recipe for Pineapple Chicken using this 

Which was on sale today for $1.99.  So I thought what the heck, I'll try it. 

I also bought these lovely items at Hobby Lobby for the house in the 66% off section

I also bought a mirror for my "courting parlor" for half price, 22oz Yankee Candle on sale for $12, 

a new skirt on clearance for $15

2 UK T-Shirts for $6, and Gyros for lunch!! 

Now I'm ready to climb up on the couch and snuggle in with DH for the night. 

Shopping Always Makes a Girl Feel Better

Doesn't it?  I'll be honest, I really don't enjoy shopping all that much.  I'm one of those when I do, I pick it up, walk all the way around the store and put it back.  Why is that exactly??  Since we've moved into the house I've had to do a lot of shopping.  I told DH it's like getting married all over again, except the fun part is missing, lol.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't mean that exactly in a bad way, BUT when you and your dearest hubby have been in very tight quarters for 4 months, and you're not sure when you are going to find a  home, well......... moving on, enough said.
So, I've had to buy everything from soap to furniture.  I have really enjoyed buying furniture, it's all the little stuff I hate.  Even shopping for clothes.  My latest task has been finding bedding for our new bedroom suite that arrived Friday morning, yay!!  It is beautiful!

The next task was finding bedding for it.  Originally I wanted this black damask bedding, which so does not go with it.  I have looked high and low for something to go with it, and "our house".  You know everyone really has a style or look.  I've just never figured out how to classify mine.  Anyways, I bought this today......

Yes, I love it.  It even looks great on the bed.  I also bought pillows but not enough I found.  They had those nice pillows for 60% off at JC Penney today.  What a deal that was.  I have our guest bedroom now to work on as far as bedding.  I bought a bed, it actually looks somewhat similar to this one, but it's rounded at the top instead of straight.  It's less than a week until Kathryn is here with me for my birthday.  Oh yes, how lovely to be turning 34.  I don't mind it really.  I never thought I would live to see 35, if I have another year like this one, I'm guessing I won't.  Anyways, she will be here on Friday.  We are going to head over to The Glitz

for tea and then on over to Keeneland to check things out.  Keeneland is a horse track here in Ky.  Even though I am not a gambler, nor encourage anyone to be, you really should go for the experience and to see the grounds.  It is breath taking.  

We are really looking forward to that.  Hopefully the weather will stay good.  Although it has rained that weekend every year for as long as I can remember.  I am loving this fall weather though.  It is so dry here the leaves are barely changing other than brown.  We need rain!!
