Thrifty, Thrifty, Oh So Nifty!

I know I've confessed my dirty little secret which I feel like makes me a LITTLE bit trailor trash love of Dollar General to you all lately.  But seriously.  I have a problem.  An "addiction" if you will.  I literally go in this crazy store (that smells like Formaldehyde and plastic bythaway) like, oh I don't know, 3 maybe 4 times a week?  And keep in mind, this place is by my work.  There are only 5 days in a work week mind you.  And one of those days I have a standing lunch "date".  So 80 - 90% of my work week lunch hours, I spend in the funeral-smelling general store on the corner.  Never-you-mind the fact that one of the guys who works there proceeds to HACK HIS LUNGS, possibly kidney and MAYBE even small intestines, up the entirety of the time I am in the store.  So much so that I am tempted to go all "post H1N1" on his arse and wear a mask every time I approach the store.  And maybe even plastic gloves.  You think he'd notice?  Oh and he's missing the whole top row a few teefies.  Not that I hold that against him, I'm just trying to paint a picture here ... N-E-WAYZ (seriously I can't stop with this throw-back to the 8th grade) Never-you-mind all the afore mentioned ... um ... characterstics of Dollar General.  I don't know whether it's the deals I get on my daily meal of soup, Diet Dr. Pepper, Splenda (no I don't eat it by itself, but I do eat enough of it for them to conduct tests on me like they would lab rats to see if there are any long-term effects to massive quantities consumed ...) and frozen dinners, or if it's the fact that it's the closest place for me to "shop" in a 5 mile radius of my work and I, as with many other things, have a ... shopping ... ahem ... problem (even if I don't buy a THING, a girl likes to look, it's therapeutic, DON'T JUDGE ME, mmmk?) but I'm pretty sure it's because I can get beauties like this ...

For $2 a pop.  YES, $2!!!  I saw similar beauties at Forever 21 (the cheapest clothing store I know, next to Walmart) for $8 a pop.  Dollar General has you OWNED Forever 21!!!  Now I realize the one on the far right is a tad bit ... large.  But I'm of the mindset (with jewelry, purses, and apparently, headbands) the bigger/chunkier the better.  And I think it could be pulled off with the right outfit.  But hey, it was $2, if it doesn't work, IT WAS $2!

ALSO, when I was at Walmart (another store with which ... I have a problem, I can spend 2 hours in there, end up with a sweatshirt and some bodywash and be completely satisfied, due to the fact that I went in thinking I would find some STEAL of a deal, plus don't get me STARTED on the people watching, FREE ENTERTAINMENT!) the other day, I picked up THESE little beauties, and by little I mean baby-sized ...

For my MOH's little MUFFIN P!  (Oh yeah, by the way MOH, these are for P!)  Aren't they CUTE!??!  $2.50 a pack!  Man I love big flowered-y headbands on baby girls.  And apparently on big girls (ahem, see previous picture) too ...

I just love a good deal.

So APPARENTLY it's giveaway week.  I swear there are 652 (not really, because I'm not that cool and haven't met that many people in my lifetime) blogs I follow that posted giveaways yesterday.  I mean, how rude ladies, on the DAY I posted mine.  We really should call each other and coordinate things like this.  Completely kidding of course.  There are some really and I mean REALLY good giveaways going on this week and I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a "all-inclusive" giveaway post ... maybe later today or tomorrow.  So stay tuned, because you're going to want to check out what these ladies have to offer!  That just sounds inappropriate ...

ALSO (I know there's a lot to this post, I will pause a moment to allow bathroom breaks and sustinance stockage ... crickets chirping ... chirping a bit more ...)

Alright, back to it, so ALSO I got this award from CUTE Kelly Marie over at Confessions of a Law School Drop Out, THANKS Kelly Marie! 

So that's about it ladies, I leave you this Tuesday with a visual of my favorite HUGE little furball last night.

{Are you supposed to be snoozin' on the bed while mommy's doing her Bible study and daddy's in the other room workin'?  No?  Do I look like I'm gonna make you move?  No?  Sounds like we're all on the same page here.}

Happy LONGEST POST EVER (really, not ever, I'm pretty sure y'all are used to this by now, it's a wonder you're still here!) Tuesday loves!
