A Day of Rest...Right?

I love Sundays. It's my "lazy day" - my stay at home and relax day. That's what we are supposed to do on Sundays, right? It's supposed to be our day of rest.  Like every day I get up early and follow my routine. I take care of the animals, write my blog, and surf the internet while drinking my coffee. I write the company's weekly newsletter. Then I anxiously await for the newspaper to arrive. Cutting coupons is relaxing to me. Then I organize them and see if we need anything for the week. Usually grocery shopping lasts for two-three weeks for us- another bonus of a family of three. 

I try to get everything done by 9:00 so I can attend online church. I love online church- no distractions and I can watch in my pajamas. That's a win-win! The rest of the day we just stay at home usually. Picking up the house, doing laundry, getting ready for the week. Then in the afternoon I scrapbook. Sundays are the best. 

We had our garage sale yesterday. We made almost $700 which paid for the living room and kitchen makeover we did plus the extra stuff I bought at the estate sales last weekend. How awesome is that. We still have three pieces of furniture left which we put on Craigslist. Hopefully they will be out of here soon.

I did start washing some of the afghans I bought...and yes, I bought way too many. They were so cheap $2-3 and I just can't say no. It kills me how much work and love went in o making them and somebody just threw them away to thrift! Ugh. Brian says I need to start a new blog called "Afghan Rescue" and he might be right!

I mean, how awesome is this American flag one? It's big and the stars are 3d and attached onto the blue backing. It was perfect for the 4th!

This one looks kind of yellow in the photo, but it's a pretty ivory and chocolate brown.

 This one is so pretty and the flowers just pop!

 I love the '70's colors on this one. I put this one over our couch to add a pop of color to the room.

Any one who knows me, knows I love ponchos. And I love afghans...so when I saw this I knew I had to have it. I could care less that the poncho isn't in style...come fall I will be rockin' this all the time!

  

 Like I said, these are just a few of what I bought. I need to find a trunk or cabinet to store them all in. Then we need to move somewhere that isn't so hot so we can actually use them all.

I hope everyone has their day of rest today. Time to recharge for a full work week! Brian leaves for HSN on Wednesday. Wish him luck, he has lots to sell in nine minutes, but if anyone can do it- he can!

Until tomorrow.
