Thankful Thursday ~ 10/18/18

~Last Satuday was a family day for us!  We made the trek to Altoona and shopped.  Our first stop was Hobby Lobby.  How fun!  At least for me :)  We then had lunch at Red Robin.  Yummmm!

~I picked out my new calendar for 2019!  This year I had flowers so I decided to go back to tried and true "Beaches".  I love looking at pictures of beaches and imagining I'm there, especially in those cold, snowy winter months :)

~I was also looking for some nonfiction books to help me get out of my reading slump!  Ollies is my go-to store for getting great books cheap.  I got all 5 books for only $20!  Here's what I picked up:)

~I got a new PenPal!!!!  I'm so excited, you guys!  A group of us in the #madeformore facebook group decided to do a penpal exchange.  The fantastic lady who spear headed it all sent us our penpal information yesterday!  I've already exchanged emails with my new friend who lives in Manitoba, Canada.  I'm so excited!  Did I already say that  :)

~I finally got a copy of Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis!  I had ordered it from www.cbd.com but it was backordered until the 26th.  Luckily I just happened to see at a Wal-Mart near me and snagged it up and canceled my order.  I started reading it last night but just got too tired to get past chapter 2.  I'm off today (doing laundry) and look forward to getting to dig in :)

What are you thankful for today?

My Book Haul From Ollies

We went grocery shopping this evening but first I wanted to stop in Ollie's to check out their scrapbook paper. Of course, I can't go past the book section. I go up and down, row by row looking for great finds. And, I usually find some. And, I usually get in trouble for spending so much money for so many books when I already have a huge TBR pile.


What's a girl to do? Buy more books, of course. Then give hubby the "puppy dog" face to show that I know I shouldn't, but I really just can't help myself.

I came out of there with 9 books this time. 9 books for approximately $35. How could I resist? Especially when I was able to find Camy Tang's complete Sushi Series and most of these books "were" on my Wish List.


So, here they are:

1. At the Scent of Water by Linda Nichols

2. The Centurion's Wife by Davis Bunn and Janette Oke

3. Sushi for One by Camy Tang

4. Only Uni by Camy Tang

5. Single Sashimi by Camy Tang

6. You Had Me at Good-bye by Tracey Bateman

7. Chicken Soup for the Chocolate Lover's Soul by Canfield, Hansen and Lorenz

8. Favorite Recipes from Quilters by Louise Stoltzfus

9. A cute Teacup Journal

What do you think?

Oh, and I also got Leaving Carolina by Tamara Leigh in the mail today. Yay!
