Yard Sales and Ham Puffs!

Here's my new white shirt that I started on Friday. It wasn't that hard to make, just had a little trouble with the collar. I wasn't feeling all that well on Friday, or else I would have gotten it all done in one day. I was lucky to find white material that isn't completely see-through!

Anyway, Friday after dinner we went to see a movie at the $2 theater. It was Fantastic 4, Rise of the Silver Surfer. I had been wanting to see that movie since it came out. It didn't disappoint... Jamey said he liked it better than the original! I liked all the action and of course the humor in it too. I'm not sure, but they just might make a third one one of these days.

Unlike the Saturdays in the past, this Saturday Jamey and I got up at 7am to go check out yard sales. Ok, I'm not a morning person but this was fun! I can count on one hand the yard/garage sales I've been to in my life, not a whole lot of yard sales in my growing up years. I found some fabric, which I plan on making into a dress, it was only a dollar a yard so I couldn't resist! :~) If we didn't already have enough bedroom pieces, or if we had money to spend on more bedroom furniture... Not to mention we don't have the room for more, I would have been all over this one bedroom set. It had a dresser, vanity, bedside table and one other piece I can't remember what it was. It was in a creamy white with pink flower accents. Soooo pretty! If we would have had the room and the money to buy it I would have gotten it for Sarah. We went to quite a few yard sales, and got good stuff. I found a Sheerly Elegant pitcher and cups set for $10! My mom sells Tupperware so I knew this was a bargain! I was kinda hoping to find a keyboard that was affordable. Unfortunately, the only one we found was over-priced. Oh well, just have to play air-piano for a while longer! :~) We also stopped at a friends yard sale. They are moving out of the country, so they had to sell everything. We spent the most money there. Got some Cd's and I got a coat rack, an egg slicer and some nail polish. They had bean bag chairs, so Jamey got those.

After we got done with the yard sales we started to take a nap when Jamey's mom called and wanted to take me shopping. I'm female, so when I get offered the chance to go shopping I take it! :~) We went to this place that was having a 25% off sale... Not only a sale on normal priced stuff but the sale also included the 70% off stuff! I got three things originally priced about $16, but I only paid about $3 each for them! I love it when I can get good sales!

When we were done with that, Jamey and I went to a ballgame. He won some tickets at work. They had some fireworks after the game! It was Elvis week, so everything at the game was Elvis themed. Elvis mania is one thing you really can't avoid when you live in Memphis. I'm not a hard core fan of Elvis, but I like some of his songs. It was a very intense game toward the end cause the Redbirds pulled a win out of their tail feathers. They were down 1 to 5 when they scored 4 runs in the 7th inning! They ended up winning 7 to 5. That was the last game we'll be going to this year, but at least they won for us! The fireworks were nice, they didn't do a lot of big fireworks but it was a good show.

Sunday after church we took a nap for a while. We had to take some finger food to a get together after night church, so we went to the store to get the ingredients to make Ham Puffs. It's basically a ham and cheese quiche. My mom makes these mainly for New Year's Eve, it's an old Pampered Chef recipe and it's always a hit. I made about 48 of them, hoping I might have a few left to take home. I ended up taking about 6 home. Everyone loved them and told me so. Since we didn't get a lot of sleep over the weekend, we crashed when we got home.

Today I'm just chillin'. Jamey's cousin Seth will be coming tomorrow and staying for a few days, so I should try to get some cleaning done... Note the word "try" in the last sentence! :~)
