Weekend Adventures

 I was in such a funk Thursday and Friday. I am pretty sure that it had lots to do with this weather. With the two holiday weekends, frigid temps and snow I realized we had been basically in most weekends for almost 6 weeks. Mr Ladybug must have sensed it and took the boy and  I out to dinner last night. It was the best kind of dinner, it didnt cost anything since he had gotten a gift card! 

Today my sweetie had to go to a meeting with the Pigeon Club then hes off to do a few errands. My kiddos are going to go to campus and that leaves me alone to do a little sewing, loom knitting some really cute pink mittens and reading. I am currently reading two books and listening to another. I like to listen to books on cd when I am doing things around the house.

We plan on watching a movie later this evening.  I had a freebie at Redbox and we decided on Cook Off. We love to watch cooking shows and this one is making fun of them. We have a Lowes trip planned to look at a future home improvement project. I am sure we will get sidetracked in the seed department. I am looking for Parisian Carrots. They are carrots but grow round like radishes. They are suppose to do really well in pots and indoors. I maybe see a Half Priced Book stop as well. As you can see we really walk on the wide side in our house.

I was a little bummed that I probably will not make my $25 Ibotta goal this month but I did make $10 from ShopKicks that I use on Amazon. While running an errand I passed by the restoration project I like to watch and that gave me the idea as using restoration as my word for 2018. I am sure the cooler weather has slowed them work down but I was happy to see windows going in this wonderful building. I am also sure people working on this project are looking forward to some windows as they work inside as well. It reminded me that a little progress is still progress. There will be setbacks and delays but  you will get there. I will probably earn $15 from my Ibotta giving me total of $25 free money this month. Thats $300 a year and thats nothing to be ashamed of.

I was trying to explain to a friend over the phone how Shopkicks works. I told her that you walk into certain stores and you earn points. You can use your phone to scan items in the store and earn points and if you purchase the products you earn more points, She said that it sounded like Pokemon Go. I said I guess except that you get gift cards.😀

We are unfortunately looking at cars, I say unfortunately because there was nothing wrong with our car until someone ran a red light and smashed into one of ours and totaled it. Luckily no one was injured. On our way home from dining out my guys wanted to stop at a dealership to look at cars that were similar to the ones we had. So we looked but somewhere along the way they got sidetracked. I am not complaining I can do that in Hobby Lobby. I may come out of there with maybe $20 dollars of stuff I didnt plan on but there guys were going to come our with $20,000 more than we planned on. So here they are looking at fully loaded Mustangs and Mazada Miatas.  Every time they asked  me if I liked one I said not and would point out things that I thought was ugly.  Secretly I thought the cars were pretty awesome but they still aint getting one unless one of them win the lottery. 

I hope you have a great weekend. I hope to have some recipes posted tomorrow. Remember if your goals are not going as well as planned no worries. A little progress is better than none at all. None at all can not always be helped either because life just really likes to keep us on our toes.
