Fabulously Frugal Dolly

Yesterday I was getting a little bit down, so I decided to do what always perks me right back up- I went thrift shopping.  The thrift fairie was kind enough to lead me to the most awesome pair of pale blue shoes with white stars all over them, and I’m thrilled with my awesome new shoes that only cost three dollars and some change.  As an added bonus, the laces of the shoes have felix the cat on them, a fondly remembered mascot of the video production program I was part of in high school, so of course I was giddy when they fit perfectly.  Sure, they’re probably out of style, but style never mattered much to me, if I like it, I’ll keep right on wearing it.

There’s not much else going on of late, thus the infrequent updates on my blogs.  Our remodelling project is well underway, I’m getting a whole new house it seems, just the outside is staying the same, save for the new windows and doors.  The kitchen is going to be shiny white, I picked out the cabinets at Ikea with our dear friend who owns our house, and we’re both excited about the nice things that we’ve picked out.  The bath is going to be fabuulous too- the tub has arm rests!  As a girl who just adores a nice bubble bath, that’s very exciting.  Not to mention that my hubby, being the smart guy he is, ran some of the heating under where our tub will be, so I can soak for an extra-long time without the water going cold.  Sometimes I step back and realize what a lucky girl I am, and I smile for days thinking about how two years ago I watched crackheads out the window, and now I watch a dozen swans swimming past.
