Treasure Found and other updates...

I actually took pictures of our life today and thought I would blog about what's been going on at the Casa de Butts. I will go in order of how the pictures uploaded.....

First up- I received a shopping tip from a HS girl which led me to Hudson's Treasure Hunt. HUGE SUCCESS.
Purchases are as follows:

BCBG Top.
Retail Price: $58
I Paid: $1.80

Yes, that's right. I bought a very nice shirt for one dollar and eighty cents. Didn't try it on. If it doesn't fit, I will cut it into squares and use the pieces to wipe my kitchen counters because you can't even by kitchen rags for that cheap!

Next Item.... BCBG skirt.
Retail Price: I don't know. There was no tag.
I Paid: $7
You can't tell in the picture, but it's a super nice skirt, and it fits which is awesome!

And now for the moment in which I nearly fainted. This little lovely is the greatest treasure of them all.....

It's Retail Price? Hold on to your computer chairs.... A whopping $586!!!!!
I Paid: $7
SEVEN DOLLARS!
Here's a close-up of the tag.


Ok, enough bragging about my power buys. I will say this though, I felt like I was high on something- it really did give me a natural rush. I smell Hudson's Addiction!

On to other things, Caleb spent a small part of last week in Starkville at the Social Science Research Center's 60th Anniversary Celebration. He worked there for 2 years after we married and all the people he worked with have made such a big impact on our lives! He was asked to give a 10 minute speech about the work/research they did when he was there. Go Caleb!

The guy on the cover is Ty, who is also visiting Mobile this weekend. We had a great dinner with him and his lady Dory. We egged Ty into ordering a 12 inch burrito and it was amazing.


Here's a pic of the flowers Caleb had waiting for me when I got back from my weekend trip to Starkville. So nice!


Gardening Alert! We quite possibly could harvest ONE bell pepper! For some reason bugs didn't chew this one up. If it survives, I already have the meal planned for it. We will have ONE stuffed pepper. Bah ha!


Further proof that old ladies love Caleb. Nearly two months ago he did a Family Medicine rotation in Saraland and a little old lady is STILL making him goodies. I am not complaining. They called from the office and said she had brought in a cake for him and he drove out there to pick it up. It's a homeade lemon poundcake. We got it yesterday and half of it has already been eaten. I am the only one who has been eating it. Hmmmm.....

Ole PJ Joey yearning to frolic carefree in the open wilderness of Pinehurst. Sorry Peej- it's fence-yard for you, my dear.

Here's a pic of my ever-dying ferns. So sad.

Our pumpkin that will be carved soon.

I know it's not time for Thanksgiving decor yet, but I just bought that door turkey and decided to go ahead and hang it. Sorry for passing you over, Halloween.

This is the greatest dog toy in the world. You fill it with treats, and PJJ plays with it for HOURS trying to knock the treats out. Thank you to whoever invented this.

And finally, this sums up our peaceful, relaxing weekend. She's about to have to move, though, because I'm about to vaccuum!
