I found one better- we have a store closing near us, so we dropped by to see what they had on Sunday. All of their clearance merchandise (most of the store) was <strong>75%</strong> off the orange tags! I found t-shirts and things for the kids for .34 & .62 each! Here is what we scored:<br />

</div>Happy Anniversary to the most awesome man I know, my husband! We are getting a night out without the kiddos! We are planning to go somewhere they don't serve ketchup in packets or soybean burgers!Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02233883705898354242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545209515169271605.post-25436276030837989022010-01-12T11:45:00.000-06:002010-01-12T11:45:34.553-06:00Do you remember this?Do you remember when this was on the radio? I do....and I was reminded of it today! I think it's awesome words of advice should be taken to heart, so I'm sharing it with you today!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97:</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Wear sunscreen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Do one thing every day that scares you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Sing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Floss.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Stretch.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Respect your elders.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">But trust me on the sunscreen." </span>Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02233883705898354242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545209515169271605.post-71368718696530808552010-01-12T07:01:00.001-06:002010-01-12T07:02:04.711-06:00FREE Burger King Kid's Meals!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4mi7ZRELg2c/S0xysLuxP6I/AAAAAAAABv4/_Rheop2K5So/s1600-h/bk.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4mi7ZRELg2c/S0xysLuxP6I/AAAAAAAABv4/_Rheop2K5So/s400/bk.png" /></a><br />

</div>I went out and did a little clearnace shopping this weekend since my stores were 75% off. I ended up with some nice little gifts for next year as well as stocking suffers and treat bag fillers for the year. I got everything above for $25.36. What did you score at Target clearance this year? I looked through the marked down toys, but didn't see much I would be interested in even at 75% off. It's certainly not what it was last year!Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02233883705898354242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545209515169271605.post-26559940043238864322010-01-01T05:09:00.002-06:002010-01-01T05:09:18.138-06:00Happy New Year!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4mi7ZRELg2c/Sz3X2L9eLvI/AAAAAAAABvQ/q2qiPHT2oOM/s1600-h/2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4mi7ZRELg2c/Sz3X2L9eLvI/AAAAAAAABvQ/q2qiPHT2oOM/s320/2010.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">First of all, let me say I wholeheartedly apologize for being MIA the past week or so. It's been so busy around here! I've been trying to finish up Christmas shopping and getting things ready for the holiday. Somewhere in there my blog went all wacky and I lost a bunch of things as well as my backgrounds, etc. Please bear with me while I try to get it back to where we were!<br />

I got a HUGE box yesterday. Many thanks to Georgie and Amy for hosting the Santa swap this year. They put a lot of hard work into it, and it shows! I promise to have pics up of my awesome stuff up this evening!<br />

</div>Thirdly, I have not wrapped ONE gift for my family yet! ARGH! I finished all the wrapping for "adopted" children and my best friend's family, but none for mine. I have a feeling tonight is going to be an all nighter. Any volunteers to help? Also, have I mentioned I HATE wrapping gifts? I think I'll stop by Dollar Tree and clean them out of gift bags! :)Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02233883705898354242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545209515169271605.post-43827807663250053392009-12-09T12:19:00.002-06:002009-12-09T12:23:14.729-06:00Amazon: Amazing Deal + FREE Shipping!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4mi7ZRELg2c/Sx_rCyx1gDI/AAAAAAAABsw/I-36-Ge7BE8/s1600-h/spongebobmediaplayer.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413303710345691186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4mi7ZRELg2c/Sx_rCyx1gDI/AAAAAAAABsw/I-36-Ge7BE8/s320/spongebobmediaplayer.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Spongebob-Media-Player-1G-Silv/dp/tech-data/B000VL91LM/ref=de_a_smtd">Spongebob Media Player 1G Silver<br /></a>Was $99.99, now ONLY $17.99!<br />Plus, ships FREE!<br />This seems like an amazing price for this product and the reviews all are very positive too!
