NTTCALR GTKY Things that excite you...
minicheezburg
member
No not like Gerard Bulter wearing next to nothing but like random everyday things to other people.
Does anyone else get excited about things like buying a new rug shampooer or vacuum? How about a grill? A washing machine? We have purchased all of these things in the past month and I must say I have been excited about every one of them.
Anyone else? Wanna share what you get excited about that others may not see the excitement in?

Here comes Baby Rob #3
BFP on Cycle 17 09/27/12. EDD 06/04/12! Please Stick Baby! A/S 01/22/13 Baby looking great. Officially TEAM BLUE! Jack is getting a Baby Brother! RCS scheduled for 05/29/13. William Daryll born at 9:59am on 05/29/13. Left ovary and tube removed due to peach sized tumor found during RCS. Pathology came back benign!
Sounds like you've had an expensive month minicheez!
I was over the moon when I got my Vitamix for Christmas this year! To some it would be just a blender, but to me it's one helluva great appliance!
I get excited for new to me healthy/organic type of foods or products. For instance when JellyBean told me about the almond oil she uses for moisturizer... well I was VERY excited to buy it and I can't wait for it to arrive!
And I can hardly wait for my first CSA shipment (CSA for those who might not be aware is "Community Supported Agriculture"... I paid a fee in the winter and all spring/summer long I'll have organic produce delivered right to me!)
I feel very crunchy with this post... but I guess that's kind of me

I love my rainbow baby!
Do you have any idea how long it took me to get past Gerard Butler in next to nothing?!
I'm planning on buying DH a new gas grill for his birthday, and I'm excited to start shopping around. He has a charcoal one he loves, but sometimes it would be nice to just turn on the flame and cook.
*PGAL/PAL Welcome*
My Ovulation Chart
Sometimes groceries, but that's less fun these days for some reason.
Cleaning supplies, even though I HATE cleaning.
School supplies back in the day :-)
And sometimes, when I find the perfect something, gifts for other people.

Have any tips? Because I'm failing miserably at this!!
Mine: I went NUTS when I finally got my new shop vac that will only be used indoors for cleaning. I literally spent 4 hours vacuuming everything! Otherwise it's pretty much everything we book/buy that is trip related that has me going bananas!

All AL Always Welcome
OMG, I want a new vacuum so bad!
I totally get excited over that kind of stuff. For instance, DH asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I asked for a utensil holder that is on our wedding registry. For Christmas we asked for BB&B gift cards so we could buy our comforter and a bunch of other stuff since we got 10% off. Seriously, when I was single, I would ask for Nordstrom gift cards. Now I'm asking for stuff for the house. Creepy.
But of course I also asked for jewelery for myself too, hehe. I'd like a ring to for our LO.

Yes yes,
. The gril is mainly for DH's satisfaction and we were in the process of buying a house, but the bank screwed us out of it 3 days before close so we got a townhouse and have finally decided it's okay to spend some of the money on much needed things.
I wish I could get into a CSA around here that would be awesome!
I am jealous! I love deep sea fishing! I haven't been in like 5 years! We are currently planning a cross country trip to Texas hitting like 14 states and in November a trip to Indiana to meet a bumpie and tailgate at a Purdue vs. Penn State football game! Can not wait!
I wish I was a good couponer.
I really think anything for cleaning is AWESOME! When I use my shampooer it excites me to see the dirty water because I just know that my stuff is clean. I hate when the carpet in my car looks dirty.
I also get excited over ANYTHING for the kitchen. I just bought new pans and I love them!
This for sure! Also when my scholastic book order comes in and I write my name in all of my new books.

And for some reason I still love you lol! Don't worry when we moved into our townhouse we immediately got new curtains!
First off sweets I am so sorry about your loss, I am happy that you have found little things to make you smile.
I love fresh from the dryer bed clothes! I also am a bookworm so libraies and bookstores are amazing. I also just bought some new wedge sandals that are oh so cute! You are a girl after my own heart.
I am all about the little things for sure ... Believe me, it doesn't take much! Just today I was excitedly explaining how we make our own laundry detergent, and how we spent just $10 on it in August ... Now it's March, and I can't even imagine how much money we've saved.
My boyfriend's Mom got us a cast iron griddle/grill for Christmas, and it is the best thing I've had in my kitchen for years! We use it almost every day for some reason or another, and it's nice to be able to "barbecue" again. (It's against the law to have grills on the decks here in Chicago, and it's not a lot of fun to run up and down three flights of stairs to a Hibachi on the sidewalk!) I highly recommend the cast iron skillet if you don't have one. It's awesome for chicken, fish, pancakes, grilled cheese, eggs ... I could really keep going here. Ha. Obviously I'm excited about it!
But one day, we dream of having a yard and a grill. One day.
We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.
“So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I’m still young? I wanna hold her hand and show her some beauty before all this damage is done. But if it’s too much to ask, it’s too much to ask … Then send me a son.” – Arcade Fire
It has heated up a lot here in PA and I have had the windows open everyday! i love fresh breezy air!
Ummm DH makes fun of me because I like getting mail and get excited over it. Oh P.S. you will soon be getting a package
I always loved school and would have my whole first week of outfits picked out a month before school started. Yes I am a huge dork!
Okay so I am a Pinterest whore. I know I know but, I can not help it. Everytime I find something awesome or somethings time saving or money saving I tell DH and everytime he makes fun of me. Luckily he just laughs then says "Baby you are so cute" I love him.
That last part literally made me lol. I can understand your excitement because my washer has like changed my life!

Just keep swimming.
#1 for me is making travel plans and taking great photographs on those trips.
Honorable mention: my crock pot, landscaping/gardening, spring cleaning.
Well, I'm in Canada, so we don't have as good of a couponing ability, but I basically go to sites like save.ca, and Gocoupons.ca etc. and I price match on top of using coupons.
I avarage about $40 in savings per week

I LOVE finding great side of the road deals. We live in a fairly decent area, so people will throw really nice quality furniture out on the side of the road, all becuase they decided to upgrade!
DH and I have gotten a freezer (Put in the basement for frozen food storage) and a matching nightstand set for our spare room!
I am very visual as well, I make spreadsheets for random things all the time just to organize everything and make sure I have all the info.
We are planning a few trips and I have all these maps and travel guides for different states so I can see what there is to do and actually map things out.
