{Hello, Pumpkin!}

Happy Friday Everyone!

This afternoon I was digging around my purse and realized that I almost forgot about these great Mickey D's coupons I got in the mail. I'm glad I found them though because I got the free strawberry/banana smootie today and it was Y.U.M.M.Y!

S.O. G.O.O.D!!!

{Bad hair=the result of waking up 10 minutes before one has to be at work!}

Then I went to Haven Of Rest to find some dealios and relax during my break...

Hello, my name is Jack-0-Lynn and I am the cutest lil' kleenex holder in town!
And I was a bargain for only 50 cent!
This is my friend, Jack-ie and she's cute, too! Don't ya think she's worth her 10 cent price tag?

I found a few books, too. I haven't found any Berenstain Bears books lately so this was a pleasant surprise!

And of course, I love ANYTHING with an elephant on it. Especially a polite one!

I'm really ready to go ahead and put out my Halloween decorations because if I wait until the beginning of October I always feel like I didn't have quite enough time to enjoy everything. So I'm thinking about putting everything out on September 23rd, to mark the first day of Autumn. That'll give me something to look forward to!

When do you put out your Halloween/Fall decorations?

Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

Love,

Laura

While browsing Blog Land tonight, I happened upon the most interesting blogs...

{My kindred spirits, in fact!!!}

Manic Thrift Store Shopper

Things I found (at the thrift store)

and

Without Dash

I never knew people existed who loved thrifting as much {or maybe more!} than me----crazy!

So...Angi asked about my book collection, specifically my Little Golden Books, so I took an inventory.

{Angi: "pss: Are you collecting the Golden childrens books? or just old books? Id like to hear more about your collection!"}
Thanks for asking, Angi!
As of today, I have 19 Little Golden Books, most of them from the late 70's and early 80's. I have only been collecting for a short while so I'm looking forward to building my numbers! This is my favorite one in my collection...
Does anyone else like this book???

My Grandma Hilda had this at her house and me and my lil' sis would always read it when we were there for holidays and stuff....memories!

I made a quick stop at the clearance center the other day while I was in G-ville---
I found a Little Mermaid Puzzle {put it together when I got home and it had all the pieces!} a cute shirt from Target that's currently in the wash, two Schoolhouse Rock VHS tapes, and about 7 new books for a grand total of $1.70!!! Forgot to take pics...sorry! Just imagine a cute silk ruffled tank top that cost me about 30 cent-yay!

Also, if anyone uses Bilo Fuel Perks, you should buy one of these deli pizzas because you get 20 cent fuel perks when you buy one right now....

+ the pizza is fresh, not frozen, and super good! We have a total of 60 cent towards our fuel perks now so we will save about $12 next time we gas up. Pretty good deal!

Well, here' s to hoping the Vikings pull out the "W" and having fun with my NFL texting buddy, Renea, who happens to be a Saints fan, yuck! Lol!

P.S. Angi, I'm putting your headband in the mail tomorrow-promise! Thanks for being so patient!

Love,
Laura
