So today I was really hungry for some chicken nachos. I made some chicken fajita meat with peppers and onions, put that on top of some tortilla chips with cheese on top, and chopped some jalepenos and the baked everything to get it nice a hot and scrumptious! They were very good and definitely hit the spot. Until a few hours later my hands started tingling/burning. I know sometimes when you're preggo, your hands can tingle anyways, so I attributed it to that. My hands have been starting to throb and tingle, so I just figured it was worse today. So as I used google to figure out a "cure" and guess what I found instead? Burning hands from chopping jalepenos! That is definitely what happened. I guess the juices get on your hands and boy do they BURN! I also had some burning sensations in my nose because I itched it.So in hindsight, I guess you are supposed to wear gloves. It would defnitely be worth it because this burning sensation is TOO HOT TO HANDLE! and hopefully it goes away SOON!
On Garage sale day 2, I found a few more crib sheets for 50 cents a piece, some hats, clothes, sleepers, onesies, and a few sleep sacks. They were all pretty cheap. I even found a brand new 2 pack of fleece sleepers! I bought a couple of books that I should really start to read up on. I had a list of about 15 garage sales I wanted to go to that day, but I was 1) extremely hot and 2) exhausted........ so I went to about 8.On garage sale day 3, it was kinda rainy, and I guess that means some places should be closed! URG! I did find one sale that had good priced items - every item was $1!! I found some jeans, sleepers, sweaters, etc. Pretty good find on that one. DH went with me for a while, but we never found anymore. After going to all these sales, a person really gets tired of digging through everything.
Day 4 was a total flop. First off, I had about 8 I wanted to go to, and half of them weren't even open. And the ones that were open, the prices were too high. I refuse to pay more than $2 for a sleeper and some were going for between $3-$4.. so I came back home and did laundry and worked on the nursery a little bit. I decided that the nursery would look best with another painting, so I painted the purple hippo. I also painted letters to put on the shelf above the changing table, and DH and I got them all hung. It feels good to have things almost in place. I need to still pick up a few more baby things, and wash all the items I found at the garage sales.
Last weekend DH and myself put up some wood blinds and the curtains we received at the baby shower a few weeks ago. It really finished off the nursery.
And since we are talking about our LO, in honor of the Vikings winning their first game today, here is my bump in DH's Vikings jersey! Only 6 more weeks! We can do it!!!
City wide rummages started today......and I have my list planned out according to what time garage sales close, and the most fuel efficient route. I am mostly looking for clothes, but I surprisingly found some things that I haven't bought yet....... the best things I found today? A boppy pillow for $3 and Playtex Vent-Air bottles - 4-6 oz bottles and 5-10 oz bottles for a grand total of $5.75. I also bought an extra crib sheet for 25 cents, a 2-pack of hats for 25 cents, and a baby sweater for $2. I hope I can find some clothes tomorrow and possibly some more crib sheets, and anything else I can find thats "too cute" to pass up. How could I forget? Our 2 older neighbor ladies were having garage sales at their condos. Josh found a brand new tape measure for $2 and I got a loaf of home-made banana bread for $1. Can't pass up baked goods! We also went to a different garage sale not on the map, and the first thing the older lady said was "You go to our church!" Totally random, because I sure didn't recognize them! But none the less, atleast we know another couple from our church now, even if they are in their 70's.
