    WOOOHOOO!!!

    Ok, my wonderful hubby has wanted a chenille bedspread forever (well as long as I've know him) and I haven't been able to find one in our price range that is the kind he wants. It's a memory thing for him, his Aunt had one and he loved it. Well, a lady came in to run an ad for a Yard Sale, she was getting rid of stuff left over from an estate sale. She was talking about what she had and mentioned chenille bedspreads and said they were $12 each!!! OOOOH, that got my attention. I decided I would stop by when I took my step-daughter to school but later realized hubby had to work so I wouldn't have enough time. I called her Wednesday and asked if I could come by and look at them, and she was nice enough to let me come that day. She had several, I picked out one and showed it to my hubby. He said it was just like the one he remembered except his aunt's was white. She gave it to me for $10 instead of $12. I felt like I got quite a bargain. I also got a mortar & pestil (it's green marble!) that I have been wanting for $6, now I need to find something to grind in it. I found one the same size online for $32 with shipping.

    Well, today I had to go pick up my step-daughter from school and decided to stop by and see if she still had anymore. I bought another one and some little containers that say Speed-E Freeze. When I got to the car, I decided I wanted another one. I ended up buying three all together (one white and 2 off white) including the one I bought on Wednesday. They are beautiful!!! They are the little nubby ones, not the fuzzy fluffy ones. We slept with the first one we bought last night. My hubby said we needed about 5 more, but that they needed to be bigger because he had to keep pulling it over all night. Usually I am the one fighting for the covers because he is the cover hog. Well, I told him, there was plenty of blanket because I had way more than I needed. I didn't realize I had so much extra. Ooops. :oO

    I'm so excited about my finds!! I'm trying to find out now exactly what to do with theSpeed-E Freeze containers.

    *Sigh*

    I've been feeling really homesick recently. I think Mother's Day did it. I miss my mom. I know things have been kinda tough on her lately and I hate that I couldn't be there. Talking on the phone just isn't enough sometimes. I miss my nephew who is now 9. I hate it that he's growing up without me, doing things that I want to be a part of but can't. My mom talks about his baseball games and it just about breaks my heart that I have never been able to go to a single one. I miss my neice who is now 4. She wasn't even born when I got married, but she does know her Uncle Buzz and Aunt Chrisi. The first thing she usually says is, "Are you gonna come see me in a little bit?", or something like that. Then I have to explain to her that I'm in Georgia. I know that she knows who I am because every time I talk to her on the phone she tells me to bring her Easter Egg Gum next time we come up. Last year they came up around Easter, and I gave her a little carton that had egg shaped gum in it. When they returned to Indiana, the gum was left behind by accident. Every time she talks to me she reminds me to bring it next time we come to visit. She asked me about it again yesterday. I bought some fresh gum that I told her I would send her in the mail. She too is growing up without me.

    I don't regret the choice I made to move down here and marry my wonderful hubby. It was my choice and I'd do it again even if I knew how hard it would be. I guess I just wish I could have it all.
