Brrrrrr & my thrift finds

I am probably the fattest person you know that is forever cold. I have never been one that is overheated all the time even at my heavist. I currently feel like a popsicle and am under two blankets. My hands and feet are typically the coldest. Sometimes (like now) I even get a blue tinge to my nailbeds. 

They will never look this good again naturally. I have to have a picture for my memory. LOL

You can sorta see it here in these pictures at the top of the nails if you look at them kinda cross-eyed. LOL 

Now I do have an idea as to why I am always cold. I have iron deficiency anemia. I cannot seem to bring my iron up no matter what I do. Even with vitamins and iron supplements. I have lived with it so long though that it is just my normal.

Anyway I wanted to blog about my fantastic day yesterday not my coldness. 

I worked both my days off as you know this week. Therefore my job gave me Friday off. This is a big deal as in my line of work Friday's are the busiest day and you ONLY get one off if you are on vacation. I have been having problems with one of my car tires almost since I bought the car. One tire in particular had a slow leak. Over the past few weeks I had a second tire start to misbehave. I redeemed my first free oil change at the dealer on 12/31/13. I asked them to look at the tires in question. They said one had a nail and never said anything about the 2nd. I declined them fixing it at $55 for one tire.  o.O  I texted my brother I was off yesterday and he knows I have been having problems so he had me meet him at his mechanic. They looked at them and it turned out one had a nail (known) and other other had a nail too. Just the know one the nail had a head. The other one it was just the post with no head so it was practically invisible except to the water bath. My brother treated me to the two tire fixes (Yeah for older brothers! LOL) They were $30 each with his place. Almost like two for the price of one compared to the dealer. It is sooo nice to not have the check tire pressure light showing on the dash now.  

On the way home I swung into a thrift store I like to hit sometimes. It benefits the Foundation of Americas homeless. I found a few things there that came home with me. Here are pictures of two of the items. 

Wood chair

The student school desk on left.

The wood chair is very solid and well made. I can see there was a sticker under the chair at on point because the shape and glue residue is there. There are also letters stamped/engraved under it but I am getting no where with my research on it. The two items make a good pair and hopefully will be helpful with homework. As I told the young men that loaded the car. I appreciated them loading the car but I am quite sure my boys will not appreciate the desk for homework. They got a good chuckle out of that. 

I got home from the store and hubby had started organizing my exploded craft corner. I would just shove things over on my craft table and he would too. Things got piled quite high over there. LOL All of my discount office supplies and the like got shipped over there too. Umm yeah there might have been thirteen boxes of 24 count crayons in that pile. In my defense I didn't pay but a quarter or so each. I love me some cheap office supplies.  I also love me some brand new crayons. Just to look at and smell. :)  Shush you know you do too!  I do have a before picture but I am to cold to go take an after picture.  I will try and get that picture tomorrow and post them both. 

Now I am off to catch some ZZZZZZZzzzzz's
