Green tea and thrift store finds

I don't know what happened but I hit 34 and my metabolize has become nonexistent I don't think I have started eating more but I have decided to face this head on quick because I refuse to go up a pants size and the obsession I now have with looking in the mirror every five minutes and saying "Oh god my face is getting fat". Has got to end! I have started exercise, drinking water and green tea it is really not bad at all I am concerning a complete detox after Christmas.

Ok I am done with that on to more important issues like what a got at the thrift store yesterday!

I spent 2.50 this is what I bought~

This sweet Santa for .50

This white vase thing for 1.00And this great little blanket for 1.00I think I did good~

BTW Did any of ya'll watch Heroes last night? It was so good I can't wait for the new ones after Christmas! Well I am off to help the chic a peas (my kids) study for finals.

stockings

Ok I have to say that Johnny and I have been married for fifteen years and have never had stockings sad I know so I decided this year that would not be the case. When I was little the stocking goodies were the best things! I made these they will do for now, they turned out pretty cute and it only cost me 2.00.

You know you are from Georgia...

I got this in an email and thought I would share being from GA myself I though it was pretty darn funny I hope ya'll enjoy

You know you are from Georgia.....

You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, Smyrna, Buena Vista, Valdosta, Okefenokee, and La Fayette.

You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel

You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade

Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies

You've seen people wear bib overalls at weddings and funerals

You think everyone from a Yankee-state has an accent

You measure distance in minutes.(OR TURN AT THE OLD OAK TREE)

You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit (I always do this)

You know cowpies are not made of beef

Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

Almost everyone you know is either Baptist or Methodist.

A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.

You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing

You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

Ironically, you only crave Chik-Fil-A and alcohol on Sundays..when neither are sold.(LOL...YEP)

On one side of the road there's Wal-Mart and on the other is a cotton field.

The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road."

"YALL is a word.

Fried chicken is a major part of your diet

Krispy Kreme dounuts are the only kind of dounuts you eat.

You call it a cold Christmas if you don't break out in a sweat in your new sweater.

When a single snowflake falls, the entire state shuts down, even if it doesn't stick. The radio and TV news will make snowstorm reports every 10 minutes and the grocery store will be completely sold out of bread, milk, bottled water, toilet paper, and beer.(OH YEA IT DOES)

People actually grow, eat and like okra!

You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a Southerner.

Your dog and your wallet are both on chains.

Panama City Beach, Florida is a big deal.

. You understand that at least once a year your car will turn yellow with pollen.

You know at least one Bubba, and maybe a few guys named Bo.(YEP)

You say "tuna fish sandwich." (not tuna sandwich)

You use "Sir" and "Ma'am" if there's a remote possibility that person you're talking to is least 30 minutes older than you are

Braves=good. Yankees=bad.

You love sweet tea, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and all Southern comfort food...and Southern comfort(OH YEAH)

You don’t appreciate it, You preciate it

Your last words might be, "Yall watch this."

Herschel Walker, Larry Munson, Sid Bream, Hank Aaron are legends

You say and know what "I bet your sittin in tall cotton right now" means

You use the heater in the mornin and AC in the afternoon during the "winter" season

You might have heard of people finding their lost boat in a lake that has dried up recently

.You know that Hurricanes are those the really big storms that give us lots of rain and a lil wind while at the same times destroys Florida!

You know the metal cages with wheels that u put things in at various stores are called Buggys!....Not Shopping Carts!

And finally...This one is the absolute Gospel truth! I have said this so manytimes!!

You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation: "You wanna coke?""Yeah.""What kind?""Dr Pepper

I everyone got a kick out of this and I hope everyone has a great weekend. My sister's baby shower is this weekend I am so excited.

Random rambling

This is one of those post where I just ramble on about nonsense. First my job love it I spent Monday dressing dress forms with beautiful dresses (that was alot of dresses in one sentence) its like playing Barbie with life size barbies. I got to do the window display which was right up my alley. I learned how to steam the gowns now this is coming from a girl whose iron has only been used for craft projects. But I did feel like LC on The Hills she is always steaming things. Then of course the other stuff like entering invoices into the computer etc. I did make the joy sign its an ornament that I hot glued on a frame and the silver trees are from the dollar tree how great is this

I am going to paint this tonight its my give away that I won from Thrifty Decor Chic isn't it wonderful! Noah is obsessed with it I don't know why!

I am loving my leg warmers I debate back and forth about buying them. I am so glad I did I am one of those people that stays cold all the time. So I just love them and they remind me of my ballet days.

Lastly I bought this little santa at a Thrift store for .25 isn't he just the sweetest thing!

I hope everyone has a great night! It is rainy and nasty here I was hoping we might get some of that snow coming from Texas but the rain is still here so I guess not!
