are there things that just super excite you?

today there were a few!

going to TJmaxx and buy Lance a couple new work outfits. mostly because he has a work lunch and nothing to wear. (we only washed vomit clothes/sheets/towels all weekend) so he is Lacking in professional Attire. and since he works from home it doesn't matter. but today there is a lunch meeting. and so like the fabulous shopping wife i am i say I'll just go get something for it. so i traveled the 5 miles up the road passing by a Mervyn's only 3 miles away just to get to TJmaxx. i love Tjmaxx. so i am power shopping, i only had 40 minutes to get there , find something, and get home. and i hit the Jackpot. they had jeans in just the right size! and dress pants in his size for $7.00 and then two button up shirts , there were more but i was limiting myself. anyway. 4 pieces for $43.00 . and the reason i went to Tjmaxx in the first place because i would have paid $43 bucks for one pair of Dress pants at Mervyn's. yes! i am a bargain shopper. SUPER EXCITED!

i even had time to stop at QT for a beverage. SUPER EXCITED and i got some Ben and Jerry's for an afternoon treat! SUPER EXCITED. i will hide to eat this so i don't have to share. TRUTH.

THEN on my way home i was driving the few mile back from the QT 4 miles away. and on the side of the road i saw a lady sweeping , with a PURPLE AND FUCHSIA BROOM! and i got SUPER EXCITED! who doesn't love the thought of a FUCHSIA BROOM? i do. and that is all that matters. i think that may be my next quest when shopping.

and THEN and THEN My favorite Brother came and picked up Lance for his lunch meeting! because MY FAVORITE BROTHER now works for LANCE'S COMPANY! how great is that? and so they get to hang out. and get paid for it! really they have been talking work non stop for months. every time we get together. so they are way into it and way excited. and when he pulled up i stuck my head out the door all super excited and he flipped me off! and i flipped him off and everything is right in the world. yeah . he's my fave and we flip eachother off for fun! it means he loves me.

so far a super exciting day!

what gets you all super excited? and i am not talking about sex. so get your mind outta the gutter.

_____________________________________________

on another note.~
anyone that guessed #4 was correct. i like rice. wild rice really did get stuck in my craw but hasn't happened since i got my tonsils out. but i was describing LANCE'S FOOD ISSUE with the rice. which is uber lame. so we don't eat alot of rice anymore. but i do like it.
and yes i hate lunch meat still, grosses me out to walk by it at the store. and cheese,has to be melted. and bread i have outgrown this. BUT i still wouldn't get out a slice of white bread and chow down. now baked honey whole wheat, yes it might tempt me. and white bread has an odd preservative taste and smell. i just can't hack it. and cheese . it's the smell. and the flavor, and the texture. but mostly the smell. so there you go . gosh i am struggling to come up with anything to stump you guys! maybe i should stop doing the 3 truths and a lie. maybe.

K have a great one.

remember the comment question to think on is....

does anything make you super excited?

what is it?

Great job on the FAB bargains!! I bet Lance was happy! And I have to say I WAS RIGHT about the rice. YeeHAW!! tee hee :)

Super excited?? I also enjoy great bargains on fun stuff for the house or clothes. I went a little overboard with the B&BW hand soaps & lotions. I went one day & bought a bunch. Then took my Mom back and got MORE. So much for the 5 for $15. I went for the 7 for $20 and then some!! I also LOVE when I can find the "perfect for me" purse! I am so picky that when I finally see "IT" I get so excited!! BTW - I only go purse shopping maybe once a year or less. So it's a BIG day for me after looking for a few weeks & then find the one that says "BUY ME!"

I love it when Dr Pepper 12 packs are 5/$10. I go back again and again and stock up. No, I don't have a problem. I can't believe she had a fuschia broom. I also can't believe you didn't stop and ask where she bought it! :) Great bargains! Love TJ Maxx!

Shannon said...

Love it! I totally get super excited about all kinds of little things! Yarn gets me super excited! Sad I know. When I come home with a great new color or a new idea in mind, I can't focus on anything until I sit down and get to work.

Date night gets me SUPER excited! My babysitter just called to say that she can come over tonight so I am OUT at 5pm! Might have to make my hubby take me to the craft store - double excitement!!

Shopping on the cheap. I got some serious deals yesterday. The Children's Place and Gymboree, yippee! I even picked up 3 pairs of jeans for me (unheard of) and a new pair of sneakers. Whoohooo!!
See, I am excited!!

Wendi said...

Excellent job! You gotta love a bargain! And TJ MAX usually has them. Love that store.

What makes me super excited?
Dreaming of traveling, shopping, and hyper girly music I guess!

What gets me excited is being stuck in my room with a 3 year old while the cleaning people clean my house.Coz I know that when I go downstairs my house will be spotless. Only if it lasts till the end of the night then it's back to hand prints and crap all over the house. And a diet coke!! :)

QT!! QT!!!! My husband was once a Big Gulp addict who never believed he could survive Way Down South in the Land of No 7-11. But then we discovered QT, heaven under a red roof. Every Sunday after church, the kids' allowance would be parceled out (way too complicated mathematical contortions to explain here, but precisely proportional to effort), and we'd stop at the QT on our route home. Nine sweaty palms full of change, and more goodies on the counter than the change would cover, all rung up individually -- and never once did a QT employee wince or scowl or bare his/her teeth. Or let fly a stream of profanity in a foreign language.

When we moved to Alabama, the kids begged to drive back into metro Atlanta every Sunday morning to spend their allowances. And I'm talking about the teens, not the little ones who don't know the difference between a mile and a smile.

I'm so excited for you!

{TMI Alert} Shopping for house decor gets me super excited, and yes it gets me wanting the other super excitement. The other day I found an old chair that I fell in love with and had to have, plus had a gift card to use on it, so I was so happy I had to text Luvpilot and tell him to get ready for some luv! I was THAT happy!

And now that Taco Bell, Super Target, and Super Walmart are coming to my neck of the woods, I am super excited about that!

Yay for your bargains!

Jenn said...

Hats off to you! I love getting a good deal like that! And I was right for once! I guess I should take guesses in the dark more often.

I'm with Julie, Sophie and I hide in the basement while the cleaning people are here-way too fun to come up to a sparkling house-
I'm uber-excited about the planning/shopping for an event-birthday, holiday-anything! Oh, and I love to find the greatest deals on EBAY! --especially party favors! Just got my new scanner the other day-keep an eye out for old pictures on my blog!
Oh and one last thing--I get super excited hearing my baby say 'again again-to my hubby when he's singing twinkle little star while she's in the bath and I am eating skittles on the couch watching gilmore girl re-runs--just listening to him doing the work while I relax!!!! (it's only happened once-but I'm waiting.....)
