whats up buttercup

Oh my my... its been a busy couple of weeks... i am doing some subbing at my old school and also the ECC-early childhood center... last week I subbed for the first 3 days... 19 in the am and 13 in the pm... they were cute and so eager to learn...  next week I am already subbing on Tues/Wed...maybe/ and Friday!!!!

We had a great supper with at the kids on Friday night at Lances... yummy food and we played with Bama-the puppy  and Ryan's girlfriend's daughter... she is 19 months and I am having a blast with her..... lets tallk spoiling her!

I have been learning how to coupon... arghhhh. I downloaded a book from Kindle... Krazy Coupon Lady... its informative and hopefully I can figure out how to do this stockpile stuff with can foods and non perishables... they even freeze milk when its on sale???? didnt know you could do that.

I had hubs cutting coupons and I am learning how to "stack" them... I will of course keep you psted on this adventure.... But I want a new kitchen and hubs says cash only... soI mut save every dollar for a while...

                        Isnt this cute..... I saw it somewhere... cant remember the source but adorable....

 If, I were still teaching I would make this for my door... cant remember the source but... adorable....and easy peasy! 

lastly.... I can pull off this pillow... I think I will make some for Christmas gifts... then I will put an inital in the middle of each one... so cute...


still working on Paytons little quilt,... hope to have it finished next spring or maybe finges crossed Christmas... her birthday is in a couple of weeks. I think I will wait and go down to Houston/The Woodlands sometime in the winter for a week and play with her !  I'm greedy and dont want to share my nienie time!
hehehehe

what... not at Piggly Wiggly!

My boys favorite most delicious supper is fried chicken- white meat only in my house... mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, sweet tea and OKRA... So today I went by Piggly Wiggly in Cville to grab the groceries...

I finished and could not find the frozen okra in the freezer container at the Piggly Wiggly... seriously a Piggly Wiggly without Okra...

That is a serious offense south of the mason/dixon line.... So I just marched myself right up to the manager of the Pig and asked where the okra was... He went directly to the freezer section and found the big ol bag of frozen okra... It was hidden., why would okra be hidden???    Whew!!!!!   I thought there was going to be a serious problem if the Piggly Wiggly was out of Okra.... so the world is not coming to an end and the Piggly Wiggly is still alive and all is well with the earth!

yard flag...

I was having a very lazy hot afternoon in the sauna  of Okla... anyway I went in the craft room and made a new yard flag for our front yard... I think I like it... BUT the next one I will make the same but put the letter on with applique...


These past few weeks have been sooooo hot... I dont do a whole lot of anything. I have worked at my fav place New Haven Day School as a sub... loving those babies, then at the consignment shop, then I had a stomach virus... but today its gone as I ate a HUGE lunch at Olive Garden after Church...

So glad I am retired... teachers are gearing up to go back to work/school. This would be my major whining day... the CPS teachers go back tomorrow... However I have been called to sub the first 3 days of school at the Pre K in Cville. That will be fun. Its so hot I wish they would wait until Sept 1 to go back to school... save a lot of money too. Can you imagine the elec bill for the school to run all the AC. whew!   

Other than that all is well on the home front....
