What do you get free when you look pitiful?


Guess What? Today I looked pitiful! I threw on some comfortable clothes, did not fix my hair or makeup and went to drop off my son to preschool. Here is a picture of the shirt I was wearing-it looks much worse on! On the way back I stopped at Discount Tire to replace the tire stems on my car because of a recall. Well, they tried to sell me 2 new tires and told me one of the tires really needed replaced and I said no. My husband just spent $1200 on repairs including a timing belt,ac and a lot of other repairs. We have 2 cars paid off and ofcourse they both went to the shop this week. Anyway, my husband told me, do not let them sell you new tires. So I said no and they said come back in an hour. Well, I went and got a pedicure next door and felt like a total scrub! All the women customers looked like they just left the salon and I felt like a bum. So I finished my pedicure and went to pick up my car and guess what? The nice guy at Discount Tire told me he replaced one of the tires for free because he could not in good conscience send a pregnant women home on that dangerous tire. I was sooo happy! We will definitely buy all our tires at Discount Tire. The morale of the story is sometimes it pays off to look pitiful! But, when I did get home you can believe I changed my clothes and fixed my hair before I left the house again!

Score!!! I love Christy Lee's room. I did the same thing for Avery. Actually, I decorated to the best of my budget with my first boy - and my third. But I went all out with Avery. You are going to LOVE having a baby girl. I'm so excited for you.

Awesome! Love free stuff! I tried to call you today, but I can't find your phone number. My home phone has been messed up all day. I think its the phone company and not our actual phone. Call me tomorrow, if you can. Love you!

Yes, score on the free tire, and I'm sure you didn't look that scrubby and I think that shirt is cute!
