CSN Stores Review - Sheet Set

Happy Tuesday guys and dolls.  How was your Monday?  Mine was long but uneventful thankfully.  I managed to get to bed by 9:30 and get some rest and luckily, my husband was able to rest last night as well.  I hope he is on the uphill side of this stuff because it looks like my daughter is now coming down with whatever he has. *sigh* Oh well... it's that time of year, right?!  I am just trying to make sure that my son nor I get sick - I don't want it going through the house, so to speak.

Anywho, a couple of weeks back, I was contacted by a representative of the CSN Stores and asked to do another review for one of their products.  Well, you know me - I gladly jumped on that!  I love the CSN Stores.  I chose to review their Wildon Home Sateen Solid Combed Cotton 600 Thread Count Sheet Set in Grass Green and must say, I LOVE these sheets!  The color is also so much prettier IRL.
Ever since my husband and I were married (13 years ago now), his mother got me hooked on high thread count sateen sheets and that's all we have on our bed.  I love the feel of sateen sheets and the fact that the more you wash them, the softer they become.  Anyway, these proved to be no different.  The only downfall with these sheets is that no matter how quickly you take them out of the dryer they are completely wrinkled - which I hate.  However, I personally don't have time to iron my sheets, so on the bed they go.  The good thing about them, despite the wrinkles, is that once they are on the bed, you can't feel the wrinkles and they are still very comfy.  I've had to wash these sheets about 5 times over the last week due to my husband sweating through them several times in a day with being sick and they are holding up great!

The sheets were reasonably priced and even more so, much less than what I have paid for sheets in the past for this high thread count.  I was given a $45 gift certificate to use towards anything at the CSN Stores and since they were only $55 total for any size set (which is a bargain in itself), I only paid a total of $19 for the difference and shipping combined.  Personally, I think I got a great deal and these are sheets I will definitely be purchasing in the future.  So, if you're looking for a new sheet set, be sure to check out CSN Stores - they have a lot of great deals there and they are very reasonably priced and the quality is great! 

(P.S. These are my personal opinions of this sheet set.  I was not asked to give a good review in exchange for this or any other product through the CSN Stores)

Well, that's all for now my peeps - thanks for stopping by to say hello.  I know I am behind on commenting on your blogs, but I promise to catch up soon.  I am just so exhausted and have been dealing with sickness in my house, and running on very few hours of sleep each night, that when I'm home from work, I am just crashing.  I hope you understand and know that I appreciate each and every one of you who take the time to stop by and leave me comment love.  (P.S.  I know, I still need to update the background to a CHRISTmas theme and will try to work on that over the weekend).

Have a great day darlins! 

Lots of love and hugs,

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday my friends! I hope that all of you had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  We did except that my poor husband had to spend it all in bed practically the entire time due to being sick.  He got sick last Tuesday and hasn't gotten better at all.  Needless to say, we ended up in the Emergency Room last night and was there for 4 hours and I am exhausted to say the least. *yawn*  So... I will have to play catch up later on today/tonight and try to post after that.  I'm sorry that I didn't make it by anyone's blogs this weekend but it was a very busy and productive one for me to say the least.  I hope that yours was just as nice and your family time was a great one!  I can't wait to see the pictures and catch up on all of your blogs.  Unfortunately, since my husband was ill - he only got out of bed to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with us and he went back to bed after that, so I only got pictures of the food - ha!  Even the kids wouldn't let me get their pictures because they hadn't primped yet - LOL. 

Thanks for stopping by and a big welcome to my newest readers - I promise to get by to visit you very soon! :)  In the meantime, here is how I feel today - pooped de doop! HA!

Weekend Recap - Birthday Style

Happy Monday my peeps! How the heck are ya?! Great, I hope!  How was your weekend?  Do anything exciting and fun?  We had a very busy, busy, busy weekend but an eventful one too.  On Friday, I actually took the day off and went to the doctor about my bumps and bruises just to get checked out.  Thankfully, they were all fine and no broken bones - which was a great sign.  Then, I decided to try and get all of my running around done that day since I had the day to myself, so when my husband came home that night we could relax the rest of the weekend.  Well, I did manage to get a lot done but, not as much as I liked.  Hubby got home late that night around midnight (he had been in Atlanta all week for seminar).  Saturday we got up and did a few bills, did some work around the house and then started making lists of things we needed and things we needed to get done that day.

We had a big bonfire party later that night for my daughter's 17th birthday and she had a blast!  Here are a few pictures from the party:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
While all of this was going on, me and the hubs were watching our Hogs play football and we won in the end but it was a tough fight - it took TWO overtimes to actually win the game! Whew - talk about being exhausted afterwards! HA! 

Sunday we had to go to our home in Connecticut to do a walk-thru with our renter before he moves out.  So that was 6 hours of our day yesterday as it is a 2 1/2-3 hour drive each way. 

So how was your weekend?  Do anything special?  Wow - can you believe it is 3 days from Thanksgiving already?  Sheesh!  Talk about our year flying by - I still can't believe it. 

Have a great day my loves and thanks for stopping by to say hi!  I can't wait to catch up on your blogs later today and see what you've been up to!

Lots of love and hugs,

My Injury Today

Hi Friends - sorry this post is late - it's been a very rough day to say the least.  Here let me show you what I mean:

I know this looks like my leg but I assure you - it is the inside of my right arm:
 
I was letting my dog out this morning at 5 a.m. and she barrelled through me trying to get to her pen and to her food and she knocked me to the ground and I fell into her pen (which is a chain link kind of pen) and there is concrete around it and I hit the concrete, pen and bricks.  I also have bruises on my legs and knee caps but I didn't want you to see my stubbly legs so I'm not posting those - HA!  That and my arm is by far the worse of them all.  Needless to say, I have taken off work tomorrow and am going to the doctor to be checked out.  I didn't even have my cell phone with me (why would I) when I went outside to let her out so had I broken anything, I would not have even been able to get up, much less call anyone to come help me, so I feel very lucky to say the least. :o(

Have a great night my friends and thanks for stopping by!  I am off to get some sleep and some much needed rest.  I have a funny feeling I will not be able to do much walking tomorrow or moving of my right arm due to all of the bruises I have on me.  Wish me luck.

Lots of love and hugs,
