Tires and Goodwill....

HEY YALL, I hope everyone is having A good week!! I have had the past two days off which has been really nice. Yesterday Nick and I went to his Dr. appointment hoping for some good news. This past October when Nick got pretty sick his lung function went down to 21,This is when they talked to Nick and I about him going on the transplant list. Nick being determined that he is has been in the gym EVERY DAY and working REALLY hard to get his lung function up. He has been feeling on top of the world and full of energy. So when Nick and I went to his Dr. yesterday we were certain we were going to get GREAT news that his lung function was up.....Crazy enough, They were not. The night before Nick did A really good workout and I gave him A nice hard back treatment. Therefor Nick and I believe that yesterday morning all this junk was coming up hence why he didn't blow very good numbers. The Dr. decided he wanted Nick to come back in 2 weeks to see if they were better. Fingers Crossed
Nick getting ready to do his PFTs (Pulmonary Function Test)

He puts the clip over his nose, Then puts the mouth piece in his mouth and blows AS HARD AS HE CAN,By doing this it allows the Dr. to see how Nicks lung function is.We get bored.... Nick is famous at his DR. This is A article they did A couple of years ago on Nick and another young lady who has CF. They also aired it and put it on the news. Nick has been in need of tires for his truck, BADLY!!! So since he was kinda down from not doing so well yesterday I asked him if he wanted to go get new tires. To this day I don't know what it is about tires that makes him happy but he was thrilled. So off to discount tires it was,Thankfully we didn't have to wait too long. While they were working on his truck Nick and I decided to take A little walk. I have read SO much about all you fabulous ladies finding these goodwill buys and transforming them into some kinda gorgeous piece.You can head over to the link below and go to her goodwill party to check out some of the amazing things she has done with her goodwill finds...

So off to goodwill we were,Nick WAS NOT happy about this. He thinks I am crazy when I hold up this old tarnished serving tray and smile from ear to ear on how beautiful it is. I guess I just have A love for old antiques or anything I can make over. Anyways my search for anything good was well...not what I had hoped. But...Here are some things that Nick and I gotta laugh at...Goodwill is A GREAT place for Halloween costumes as well. I am off to give the furbaby A bath and do some laundry. Have A GREAT week and remember it is what you make it :)

Nick was amazed at all the STUFFI know it is SO tacky and awful, But I actually liked this hat.... Looking for some "Treasures" Ha!! Then Nick brings me this skirt,Yes I said skirt...Oh it gets worseThe back is shorter than the front...seriously!! It made me laugh

I am laughing so hard at that skirt-thingy?! What a joke. What is it about mean and Goodwill? They just turn up their noses, but I'm with you other people's cheap junk could be our treasure. I'm praying for you and Nick. Keep us posted.
