It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood....won't you be my neighbor?

Pics to share with ya'll

 

Today is my first day of vacation...and it's been a beautiful day....it's 80 degrees out and the suns been shining all day...

I got up at 7am this morning...woke Jeff up...he had to go back to the Dr. this morning for a prescription of loratabs for his back....the ultram and flexeril didn't do him any good...he has been trying Icy Hot, Bengay, Heat patches...you name it....I can feel the knot in his back where his muscle is all tense....he tried to get into the chiropractor today...but the Dr. wasn't in but for 3 hours this afternoon...and Jeff had to get all of his lawns mowed he had planned for today...so he may go to the chiro tomorrow if he gets time...he is on vacation this week with me.... 

Don't think I mentioned it ...but Jeff has worked for his brother for the last 4 years making Custom Home Audio....Home Theatre Systems....and has enjoyed doing so...his brother brought the company up himself from the ground up...and has been successful for the last 8-10yrs.... it was just Jeff and his brother....he hired Jeff 4yrs ago when he could no longer keep up with demand by himself.... but things are really slow for the business at the moment... and his brother was worried about it for our sake.... So Jeff decided to go back into the Tire Business...something he has done for the last 18-20yrs....he always enjoyed being outside working....as he is mainly out working on farm tractors and such....  I just hope he can get his back straightened out before going to work on the 28th.....  He is still going to keep our Lawn Care Business going....it is thriving....and doing well....we are blessed.

Last fall they started putting in a sewer system for the neighborhood....everyone has had problems with their septic systems for years around here....well they left the yards and streets torn apart...and are finally getting them back in order....thank goodness ....tired of looking at the mess, they smoothed the dirt and were sowing grass seed today in our yard....

This morning I went to Shoe Stop they had their skecher flip flops on sale ..reg $29.99 for $14.99....so I got two pair for the price of one....can't beat that.....

I also went to Fashion Bug...I had a $30 coupon I needed to use....it expired after today...and also a $20 rebate coupon....and a $5 bonus coupon....I needed to use.... the cashier lady gave me another $5 bonus coupon.... luckily I could use them all on the same purchase... I got $165 worth of clothes for $75.....

* Pair of jeans

* 2 pair of cotton bermuda shorts

* 3 shirts

*pair of plaid bermuda shorts

I thought i did pretty damn good myself....

All of my clothes in the pics...were bought within the last month....and a few bought today.... I just try to buy a little here and there when i catch good sales... so my summer wardrobe should be pretty much done now....and Jeff's should too...as I have been shopping for him as well....now it's time to go through everything and box up things that we no longer wear or don't fit anymore....and put them away for when we have a yard sale....

For lunch today I went by Taco Bell and tried the new bacon club chalupa...it was really good....been wanting taco bell awhile....don't get to go there often...wish they would put one on our side of town....

I laid out in the sun today for about 45mins...it felt so nice out....with a perfect breeze....I may try to lay out again tomorrow....trying to get a little sun before we leave on our trip thursday...

So what outfit do you think i should wear thursday to the Bon Jovi/ Daughtry concert...of all my clothes  you viewed?  I have jewelry to match pretty much all of them....it is suppose to be 80 degrees with a chance of rain thursday....I was thinking my new plaid bermuda shorts....with the turquoise top....

AI tonight....I forget the name of the mentor for tonight....but i don't think I have ever heard of him before....

Anyways....I am just rambling on....

                                       Until next time....

  9. I'm loving this wonderful weather we're having.  Loved the pics of all your flip flops and your new clothes.  I hope that Jeff is able to get some relief for his back.  It sounds like your vacation is off to a great start!  I hope it continues that way.

  11. I just now got to view your pics...they didn't want to work earlier.  I really like that grey top and I think it would look great w/ the grey flip flops.  I also love the brown flip flops w/ the circle metal dots on them.   :)  I think I need to go to Kohl's to find some flip flops this year.  I used to like Old Navy's but they changed the way they make them and they don't fit the same.  Plus I just use those kind of bang around the yard in b/c they're simple to clean off.  :)

    I hope Jeff's back gets better!  That sucks!  You have to keep mentioning Taco Bell...erghhh!  LOL  Have a great time at your concert!  I know I just said that a few minutes ago in a diff comment.  :)
