day 16 and bargain shopping

day 16
today: 2.85
total: 25.4 miles

So not do such a great job about keeping up with the running/walking. I did do yard work for about 50 minutes on friday, but find it hard to walk or run everyday. And with the hurricane coming and bringing rain I prob will not be able to walk outside for at least a couple of days. I have  a treadmill however it is upstairs and our upstairs is quite in the state of disray right now. We got some new furniture at an estate sale about a month ago and now are working on paintin, putting new trim up, taking staples out of the floor for when we tore the carpet up.

We got a 4 poster queen bed, 2 4 poster twin beds, a dresser, a liquor cabinet (looks like a dresser) a mirror and all this bedding (don't use that on our bed) and the 3 high end matresses that go with the beds for 760. It was from a bed and breakfast. All the furniture is antiques and it was the last day of the sale so we got a good deal.

We have been keeping Eli off the couch. However, otherwise need to work on the  dog training.

Went shopping yesterday and got some good deals- a mini candle for free from bath and body works and at JcPenny I got a pair of leggings (8 each), 3 baby outfits (2 dollars each), and two pair of underwear (2 dollars each) and then I had a 10 dollar coupon so got it all for 8 dollars. I always stock up on baby clothes when they are 2 dollars and under. People sometimes think I am nuts since we don't have kids yet, but for 1 or 2 dollars an outfit it is as cheap as garage sales and they are often marked down 90 percent are off. I have found these deals at Jcpenny, Kohls, walmart, and burlington coat factory when it was going out of business. I figure even if I don't use them I can practically make all my money back if I keep the tags on them and sell them at a garage sale. I have been buying a pretty equal amount of boys and girls ones. And they are great for baby shower gifts.
