I confess: I love scrounging through thrift stores. I also confess that I've been doing a lot more scrounging than usual lately. Now, it started off innocently enough. Back in October, I started hunting through my local thrifty haunts in search of Christmas books and items for our Christmas Countdown. The problem was, after our the countdown preparations were all wrapped up (literally and figuratively), I didn't stop. My sweet husband has stood by very patiently while I have hauled home everyone else's cast-offs, and dutifully looked interested when I excitedly display my new treasures. So all of this leads up to yesterday morning's tempermental reconnaissance...er, um, I mean request...that he pray fervently for my self-discipline and willpower to not stop at one of my favorite spots that just happened to be running a 20% off everything sale. As his face relaxed from concern to amusement, he assured me that he didn't mind my stopping in, and to please just not go too crazy. So, it's no surprise that later that day, our texts went something like this: Me: "Did you mean what you said about my stopping by the thrift store being ok?" Him: "Yep. So, what'd ya get?" Oh, how I love him for so many reasons!! I think even he was impressed with the goodies I'd discovered for less than $42. Check it out!

About Me"Planned Spontaneity" is an expression I came up with to describe my unique personality: I love schedules, organization, and all things planning ...yet there are times when I make a conscious decision to just go with the flow and see what happens. This is the documentation of my crazy journey - which may feature a 6-page agenda one minute, and the next I drop everything to give my walls a fresh new coat of paint. Archives
