Long day...
It was my shopping day.
And it became more than I wanted it to be.
That seems to happen when you generally shop one or two times a month. :-)
I also want to note that I bought a lot of the things on my lists... for the house, for my crafts, and treats for me... which is finding treasures at thrift stores. :-) I am way off my budget, maybe... I have to figure all that out tomorrow... but I will be happy with what I bought.
I ate my meal at a fast food restaurant...
Found some great books, DVDs to watch, and a VHS that may wait to be watched (on huntin Mule Deer). I found a set of book and disk about Joyce Meyer's book on the Battlefield of the Mind. I have heard something on it and wanted to know what was inside. The disk will be a plus. It's a CD of some kind. My cookbook for this trip is called Baking Without Fat... this should be good! haha And my craft choice today was a SUNSET book on pillows. I think I found a documentary on Wal-Mart, but I'm happy to have found a copy of Faith Like Potatoes. Another find was another copy of Dave Ramsey's 2007 workbook for Financial Peace University, but this one isn't written in. I decided I needed it. :-) I found a bunch more, but they will have to wait until tomorrow or never reach these pages.
I went to TWO thrift stores today!!! I happened to be by the Teen Challenge store so I decided to look. I was there over two hours I think. I found some really nice things, and things I needed... like a trash can for my paper shredder that only cost $3... and a great saw, I think it is called a hack saw, that I hope will help me with my wood projects. I found a kind of good cheesecake pan, the tall ones, that is also small (only 6 inches wide). It has a problem with the bottom closure, so I have to try it out to see if it leaks. If it works, it is really a great find. My splurge at Teen Challenge was one of those money counting jar/bank. It worked with the coin I tried it with, and I figured out how to reset it. Tomorrow I will try it more and see what I think of my find. It cost me $2. I am so happy, if it works right.
My main thrift store is the Salvation Army, the sale day, which was today. It was one of the reasons I went shopping today. I had to go, even though I was so tired. It was worth it.
That's about all I can do for tonight. I left the house at 8am to get to the bus... my son picked me up around 5pm... it took over two and a half hours to get it sorted, washed, and put away... I am tired. You are lucky I even am writing this! :-)
Until tomorrow, when I know I will be doing better and can share more details about things...
In Christ,
Deborah Martin
