Oh Monday, Here We Are Again…

Since I just have some random thoughts to share, I thought I would link up today at:

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

1. My hubby and I had a DATE NIGHT on Sat! Woo Hoo! First time in like four months. Okay it was just…

Chilis_logo

Chili’s (we had a gift certificate), but sometimes it’s nice to be casual, ya know. And since I hardly ever drink, I probably shouldn’t have let the waitress talk me into the two for one strawberry/mango margaritas…….moving on

2. We then wandered over to Macy’s and I found this…

Have I mentioned I’m cheap? And we are on the Dave Ramsey plan? So…when I found this Style & Co. handbag for 50% off and another 15% off if I used my Macy’s card, I couldn’t resist. And yes, the money will still come out of MY envelope!

3. STRESSED OUT!…that’s me at work right now. Things are just CRAZY! I would say more but, well, I tend to want to keep my job ;-)

4. That being said, I’m so sorry I haven’t been around to all your wonderful blogs. I hope to get back into the swing of things soon!

Glad you had a wonderful eve out, surely the margarita's helped it out a bit ... chuckle!

Pretty snappy bags there, girl friend.

No worries girl - life keeps you busy and we all understand. Love the new purse.

Momma Hen said...

LOVE the new bag! And honestly...I can't remember the last time we had a date night. That's pretty pathetic...I'd be more than happy with Chili's!!

Cheap dates are sometimes the best ones! No pressure, you're not really spending too much money, free to just talk and browse. Yep, sometimes the best ones.

Pennie said...

Hope work eases up for you. :(

Love Dave Ramsey! :) Love 50% off! Love that PURSE!

Have a great week, CM! Hang in there!

Emmy said...

So glad you were able to have a date night! Eric and I had a date afternoon and it was wonderful.

Veronika said...

Horray for date nights!
Your little boys are just too darling!I have 2 little boys myself, so I like following along with others I can relate too!

Matty said...

Good for both of you. No matter how long a couple has been married, no matter how many kids, no matter how busy life is.....you take time for yourselves. It's called date night.

And you only go around once, so treating yourself to something you like is perfectly acceptable.

Crazy? Yep, I'm very familiar with THAT word.

Love the purse. Even more, I love getting great deals! We had a date night the other week for our anniversary and went to Applebees because we had a gift card. Those little nights out can be so special!!

Christy said...

Girl, I'm way behind on my blog reading as well. No worries. Love the Dave Ramsey plan. Mike and I did that after we were married. Worked so well. Strawberry mango margaritas.... feeling a trip to Chili's coming on.
