Just Plain Excited!

I just had to blog and share my excitement with someone other than myself!! There are a few reasons why I am super excited right now. First one is....

Granted... I took this a few days ago and gas is now $2.75 in my neck of Norfolk!! I just want to cry about the savings our little family is getting from that $0.60+ drop! Yes, you can all think I am the worst frugal person in the world.

The next one is two things actually, but I am trying to keep one a secret from Jeremiah. Let's just say I am excited about some of the sales at BJ's right now.
Here's one of them:

I've been wanting to get this puppy for a few years now. I love these shows. I think it really helps get the spirit of giving started. Since I am lucky enough to have my birthday in the same month as Christmas, I get to sometimes purchase "Christmas-y" items. I just had to get it when I saw it was on sale.

Another bit of excitement: CATO!!! I know some of you have been shopping there or are at least trying to get there to see what they have. I just love the place!! It's not like finding pants on sale at JC Penney for 80% off or anything, but it definitely beats paying lots of dinero for something that will eventually get stained, trampled on, thrown across a room, and most likely spit upon. Not to mention all the dirty hands that cry "clothing, please!! Johnny just pushed me down, I just have to rub my muddy fingers on your new"er" shirt!! It'll make me feel a lot better, promise!" So, I perused a bit today and got a few things. I definitely suggest that anyone who has not taken a look should definitely make the time.

Last item on my list, I'M ALMOST FINISHED WITH BRISINGR!! Yay! I am reading the dragon series books and have been trying to fight for some time to finish it so I can get to the book club book! T -6 days, I know! So, here's to the last leg of the journey!!

Gotta love the lower gas prices! I paid $2.68 a gallon at the NEX yesteray! It was only $50 to fill my tank! Yay!

And, I love Cato. The first time I walked in there I was expecting to find the clothes starting in the thirty dollar range. Big happy surprise to find that I was way off!

I'm so jealous about your gas! Ours isn't quite that low yet-we can always hope! Your little Julia is beautiful! It's amazing how fast time flies! I can't imagine how difficult it must be being a Navy wife. You do a great job at keeping up beat! I don't think I could!

I love saving $money$ on my gas, and clothes, and food, and.... well you get the idea. We should exchange savings tips sometime?!
