Waving to Alberto!

Hey Y'all!

I am on the beach on this BEAUTIFUL Sunday! I am waving to our newly formed Tropical Storm Alberto. It's windy and the seas are rough, but other than that it's great out here! I woke up early this morning, got the house cleaned and knew there was only one place to be today! :)

Tootles!

It's Monsoon Season

Hey Y'all!

This week, our weather has been CRAZY. Lots of rain, storms and tornadoes. This morning I got up, got online and visited the National Hurricane Center's website and noticed a little something interesting off of our coast. For Real. It's May 19th. NOT hurricane season here!

It has spin and it is not going anywhere for a while. We should have another update by tomorrow on any development from this thing. It has a low chance for development, but it is still weird to see these things pop up so early!

I am off to do a little shoe shopping today and maybe I will finally get to see Dark Shadows! I also need to find some time to go see Battleship... you know me and my action adventure/alien/end of the world movies!

I've got to bite the bullet to go shoe shopping today,  because for about a year I have been dealing with a horrible case of Plantar's Fasciitis. Y'all. This stuff is BAAAADDD. My left foot is in a lot of PAIN. I have tried everything from ice to exercises, but I am still in alot of pain. Last night, I actually took some Aleve (which I am not suppose to, because of my stomach.) It has helped and given me some relief. I can't wear flip flops because of the pain, so I need to go find some cute shoes to wear for summer, but that keep me out of pain. I know. Good luck! The only relief I have had, was the 7 days I was on prednisone. My foot felt GREAT! But, I am off of the steroids now, so the pain is back more than ever. I am thinking I may have to go to the doctor once school gets out. YUCK.

Well, let me run. It is Biker Week here at the beach. I have to get up and out and run my errands before the bikers wake up. Traffic is terrible once the they are out and about!

Tootles and have a great Saturday!

Attack of the Dizzies, Currently and SOUTHERN SAVERS!

Hey Y'all!

Sorry for the absence from the ol' blog. But. I have been busy! And. Sick. But, I am getting better so that is YAY!

The weekend before last was a great one! I ended up going to Columbia on Sat. May 5th to take a Southern Savers Coupon Workshop with my best friend Marie, her future daughter in law, Ellen, and my Mom. The funny thing is that our workshop was at Spring Valley Baptist Church and I used to live in the neighborhood right next door! This was a duplex and it was my first house that I ever bought.We drove by it before the workshop and it was still pretty much the same, except for the kiddie toys in front!

And, let me say. If you EVER get a chance to take a workshop with Jenny from Southern Savers, DO IT! It was funny, informative and I learned so much. Here we are before the workshop. The picture is blurry. My mom can't take pictures with my phone!

 


And, the best part. You learn how to get toothpaste for fee. Drugstores are your friend! :)

While we were in Columbia for the day, we made a stop at the Shops at Sandhill. It was great to be in a big city and get some shopping in! I was able to pick out an early Mother's Day gift from Pitty Pat.. a new Vera Bradley set. I just love Vera Bradley and it was fun to be amongst the goods!


We ended the weekend by celebrating my Grandaddy's 89th birthday. He is so cute!


Sadly, last Wednesday I got hit with the Vertigo Dizzy Lizzies. And, I had a field trip. It was bad folks and by the end of the day, I could hardly stand. My doc ended up putting me on steroids, an antibiotic and Valium to help with the vertigo. I am finally better today after hanging out on the sofa for the weekend and NOT driving. It was triggered by a sinus and ear infection. Life has not been fun. I have been on the tilt a whirl for a while!

And, last but not least, here is this month's Currently... only 15 days late! Check out my Beauty Pageant Title and my platform! Hee, hee!


Tootles!
