You break it, you buy it.

My husband's been wanting something to hold his "cards" in, but did NOT want a bulky wallet. I don't blame him, those big wallets are annoying. So instead he grabs his driver's license, credit card, cash and his CDL something or other card and puts them in his pocket....a loss waiting to happen.
Well, I found some front pocket, slim wallets online but didn't want to hassle with shipping and waiting....not as patient as I used to be. Then I was at the evil walmart ( I say evil, because we usually try to avoid it like we avoid sin....it's dirty, poor service and overall a bad experience when we go, stand ye in holy places right?) and I was looking for men's front wallets/card holder thingies. Of course they have NO men's accessories except ties. Those won't work.
I head to look at the ladies wallets. I was trying to be resourceful, which I feel I'm pretty good at, and I opened the wallet you see below. Now, in the picture there are two pieces, in the store they were one. Oopsy.
I thought that the middle flap was not connected and being of the determined type....I yanked that thing right out thinking it was just stuck in there real good. In fact it was in there good, sewn in actually. But walmart quality=easy for me to rip out. And I've gotta be honest with you, I put it back together and slipped it back on the shelf thinking "whoops" then circled the men's clothing only to come right back, guilt stricken, pick it up and think "well, $7 is cheaper than the $17 I was going to pay AND I broke it so I need to buy it".
So I'm hoping Wade likes his new front wallet. And I feel good knowing I didn't damage merchandise then leave it for some girl to buy. Conscience is clear. Guilt is gone. Phew. :)

Popcorn perks at work

Why do I love the Old Maids so much?? Someone would make a killin if they just sold these yummy, crunchy, half popped Old women! ;)
Although I love those old maids, I love the popcorn just the same. Definitely a perk of working on the 3rd floor is having this glorious machine in our break-room!
Nothing quite like movie theatre popcorn at work! Yummy!

My bathroom REMODEL is done!

My favorite bathroom accessory: the toilet paper holder! Thanks to hobby Lobby for all the cute decor on the walls. My awesome husband did the tile in the shower and the floor. Check out this post for the before pics of the bathroom, it was tiny and cramped and yucky. This is 100 times better in my opinion. I just love it so much, the new white paneling/wanescoat/whatever it's called. And the grecian ivory paint (chosen by Wade...I couldn't for the life of me decide on a color and this is what he got...I LOVE IT). Basically it's all new with a cute new vanity that Wade brought home with him from Idaho (home depot special). Thanks to the hubs...he did it again! Made the old new again! Love him!!
