heart attack

when's the worst time to lose your purse at the mall?

if your answer was "when you just cashed a check and your purse has $500 in it" you are correct!

yeah...that seriously happened to me today.
luckily i did some mad, crazy person running and made it back to the store i was just in and found it untouched!

seriously the closest i've come to having a heart attack.

and also the closest i've come to shoplifting.

i was in another store holding a shirt when i realized i didn't have my purse and didn't even think when i started to mad, crazy person run out of the store with it.
don't worry, Matt was smart enough to notice and took it back for me.

no wonder I hate going to the mall, only bad things happen there!

so besides that little ordeal, today was a pretty awesome day!

Matt and i went thrifting for our Halloween costumes and hit the jackpot!
usually it takes us forever to find what we need but the thrifting Gods were on our side today and we found almost everything!

it probably helped that our costumes are much more low key this time.
we don't have the time for any huge extravagant costume making because of the shop and moving and all but i still love what we decided on!

here's a little sneak peek!

hellooo!

hi blog! remember me??

i'm completely slammed with orders right now! it's unbelievable!

so unbelievable, in fact, that i had to lower the hours of my day job so i can have more time for crafting!

living the dream up in hereeee!

i just wanted to take a quick crafting break and share some things with everyone.

first of all, my etsy shop name has changed!

it is now Life Geekery!

as soon as i get ahead on orders i'll be adding new cozy designs to the shop and there might even be a geekery blog full of hi-larious posts from both me and my amazing hubby!

so stay tuned for that!

also, i had sooo many people asking me for the Harry Potter cozy in Nook sizes that i went ahead and made them their very own listing!

and just so you all know i'm still alive and kicking here's some pics to prove it!

Padme sometimes lays on my shoulder like this while i'm crafting away so i just had to take a break to have a little staring contest!

fell in love with this sweater the other day so i bought it!
so what if it's a thousand degrees outside and i won't be able to wear it for months??
i have a thing for sweaters.
i seriously live in the wrong state.

been watching Frozen Planet while i work this week and i am IN LOVE!
seriously my favoritest thing ever ever ever!

Treat Yo Self

Treat Yo Self Day was a success!!

amazing food with my amazing husband!

then...new dress, new sweatshirt, new jeans, new most amazing shirt of my life!

and so does Matt.

win!

and the amazing shirt...mustaches and top hats?

OH MY GOSH YES!

now i wish every day could be Treat Yo Self Day!!

walmart vs. every other grocery store

fact: walmart is completely and totally awesome.

fact: it is way better than every other grocery store on earth.

fact: people who say they don't like walmart are lying to try to make themselves sound cooler but they really are secretly in love with it.

fact: matt and i are 100% walmart fans.

last night matt and i tried to do some thifty shopping business.

my big sis told me that fry's usually has some amazing deals and since matt and i have never shopped anywhere but walmart we decided to do a little experiment.

our experiment was to answer this question: is shopping somewhere other than walmart really cheaper?

so we started at fry's.

we bought 20 items all of which were on our shopping list and the total came out to $52.90.

that doesn't sound too bad except for the fact that we had only gotten about half of our list and bought almost all sale items.

yikes!

next we went to walmart for the other half of our list.

i gotta say, for the most part walmart kicks fry's butt!

at walmart we bought 24 items including at least 7 things that weren't on our list but we wanted anyway and the total came out to $47.97.

now i'm no mathmatician but i do believe that 47 is less than 52.

just saying.

while we shopped at walmart we kept our fry's reciept handy and checked the prices on the stuff we had bought there.

the only thing i'm glad we bought at fry's is pistachios, for some reason they were cheaper there.

but walmart's prices were almost identical on everything else if not cheaper.

bread was cheaper, avocados were cheaper, mayo was cheaper, tortillas were cheaper and the thing i'm most mad about was that we bought alfredo sauce at fry's for 3.39 and at walmart it was like 1.79!

what the heck??

stupid fry's alfredo sauce tricking us into buying it 'cause it's so tasty.

so what did our experiment tell us?

walmart is still the king!

or maybe we need to take some lessons in how to shop sales.

whichever.
