DH is off today. Got plans to go to the BX. Over the weekend, he came home and was excited to tell me that Air Force scrapbooking stuff were on sale. Too bad, I didn't see any clearance items anymore. Disappointing but that's alright. I did see though some major changes on the crafting goods that the BX sells. They expanded their line and was really surprised to see Cricut, DCWV, Bazzill, My Minds Eye, tons of Hero Arts (both clear and rubber mounted stamps) and alot more. It was pretty neat. I remember how craft deprived we were in Osan three years ago. Happy shopping for those active duty military and their spouses stationed abroad. I'm sure the AAFES will stock up more for you guys.
It was indeed a success not to buy anything about crafting in the BX but I did splurge on my daughter. I got her 4 new pretty dresses, 1 black pumps and 1 slip on sandals. Yeah, I agree she is a princess. I was planning to buy her a dress for my son's birthday but I ended up shopping for her. The birthday boy only got a pair of black flipflops. I wasn't able to get myself a sneaker either. I guess I will have to wait until the season changed. The sneaker type I want is more like a summer type. I also got my DBIL a perfume and hoping he would like it. Didn't buy much. Headache starting to hit really good. It was because my daughter and I had been sniffing too many perfumes. Mind you, she was even asking me to spray it on her. Ahh, darn sinusitis...
I also got some Martha Stewart household and kitchen stuff. What I like most was the queen size bedsheet sets, got them for $30/set. I missed doing my shopping in the BX. You will always find a good bargain especially on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Hmmm, what a coincidence, today is Wednesday...
DH took us also to the thrift store. I think it was a rip off. Imagine a DCWV 6X6 album for $11.99. Hope the ones in charge for the pricing knows what she's doing. Anyways, in a corner together with some craft magazines, I found a quilling kit for $5.88, which I admit was a good deal. I also found a white plastic 3-drawer organizer for $11.99. I wasn't sure if that was a good deal but heck, its paid and it's now sitting in the back of our truck. Too late to even regret buying it.
We planned to eat out and go to the Filipino store after the trip to the BX. But my headache was getting pretty bad. We went home and I was in a bad mood but I still tried to force myself to eat and feed the babies. The next few hours was pretty nasty until I finally dozed off. Couldn't sleep in the bedroom because laying down makes the head hurts even more. I actually slept sitting down in my comfy chair in the dark craft room. The whole family didn't eat dinner, everybody was asleep by now while I'm wide awake blogging.
I feel guilty not updating my blog. I'm spending more and more time in FB and completely ignoring fixing the house, my crafting and my blog. I need to make tons of Mother's Day card but nothing. There's a huge mess in my craft room and alot of things that needs to get done in the house. I am really starting to have remorse about buying a big house. I really need help fixing this big house. DH had been putting up 12hours a day. I got no help and I have to take care of 4 people. By the time I stopped doing the daily routine, I'm too exhausted. All I want to do is sit down and goof around. I am so thankful to my daughter for helping me alot in the house. Haist...
More babbling tomorrow. Need to try to go to bed. Julie Powell is an inspiration... Be positive and has to stay on track to meet my goals!
Cya tomorrow! Kisses and big hugs...
