Pioneer Woman Wednesday

I'm pretty sure there are still several things that I have yet to post about, but today I'm going to show you somethin I purchased recently. I was browsing the clearance aisle in Walmart and came across Pioneer Woman sheet sets. When I saw the $10 price tag I had to buy them

 I have very little willpower when it comes to seeing Pioneer Woman items in the store. If I see something new I always want to buy it

catching up

Since I took a blogger skip day yesterday, I figured I'd better catch up today. When I got home from work on Sunday I had no desire to go anywhere near the computer. So what did I do?

I think I've always assumed that it was something that retailers made up to boost sales.

In July that is.
