Busy but productive week!

I had to go back to Mountain Home Thursday to get fitted for my new glasses and frames.....and I knew exactly what I wanted....RED glasses!!!!  I walked in and was immediately drawn to a pair and even after looking at all the others....the first ones were the ones I chose!  I have never been very excited about glasses but this time was different....I LOVE these glasses and will go back to get them in 7-10 days....I can't wait!
The eye doctor is on the other side of Mountain Home so it is an even longer drive than usual.  I had to stop and get gas on the way and luckily it had stormed in the morning but I had clear sailing there and back.  I was pretty tired when I got home and then yesterday I went to the new Dollar Tree store!
I love that store because everything REALLY IS a dollar!  I got some organizational 'tools' after checking all the Dollar Tree pins on Pinterest.

A magnetic white board for my frig, battery operated votive candles, tiny packs of kleenix, and the toothpaste I use.
 I got a candle lighter and a mesh laundry hamper which people use to put over their plants outside...Rain....this one's for us!  I'm trying it in my back yard! 

 2 packages of removable labels, some votive candles and a regular candle in Black Cherry........I also got a few other items but they are for Christmas so I can't show them here..... 

and then the containers.................I think these will be for my linen closet although I need some bigger ones too...........

these will be for my bookshelf................I actually saw one gal who spray painted these to look like metal and then added metal looking name plates on them......they looked just like the pricey ones in the magazines.......amazing!

and these are for under my sink in the kitchen...........they're stackable..............

I also went shopping for a new dryer but even the really bare bones one is $300 not counting delivery and installation so I might as well fix mine for $400 but I did get the name of a reasonable and qualified local repair person so maybe it won't be quite as bad?  I realized when I had my RA 'flare up' that carrying a basket of wet clothes down the basement stairs was not too safe plus the time I spend could be better spent doing other chores.  It also causes me to have more ironing and an iron isn't cheap to run either plus so many of the clothes are meant to be dried now a days.  So, I made up my mind that I will be repairing the dryer regardless.  Wish me luck on that one! LOL!
I also went to Walmart and got supplies but forgot to get the paint!!!  Duh!  Two days away from home and all my chores were backing up so that is why I haven't blogged or visited!  Today was catch up with everything  around here and I had paperwork to go through and filing so it's 6:00 p.m. and supper time for me....I've fed everyone else!
Tomorrow is YOP, I need to make a nice dinner and enjoy my day of rest as next week is busy too!  Tuesday I go back to the foot doctor in Mountain Home (hopefully for the last time), Friday Grace (the long haired cat) goes to the groomer and Monday is the eclipse! The last total eclipse was in 1979...this will probably be the last time I see it in my lifetime but I won't be seeing it because I don't have any special glasses!  I assumed I could get some at the eye doctor......but no!  They don't have any and never did!  Hello???  An eye doctor doesn't have eye protection for the eclipse?  That is just not right!  Oh well....it's supposed to be cloudy that day anyway but I will watch it on T.V.! LOL!
I hope you had a great week and I will see you back here tomorrow AND I will be leisurely sipping my coffee in the morning and catching up with all of you!
Happy Trails!
