You ARE important to ME!

Yikes!  I have neglected you again, I feel like a bad mom.  :0(

I will be back tomorrow to post.  I think I will share with you some of my "Favorites" starting with Fragrances.  I have been on a quest,  again,  for a new fragrance.  I found one the other day and I have most definitely added it to my "Favorites List", so YUMMY! 

Have a Good Night.....

Happy New Year Everyone ♥♥♥

Well here we are the beginning, the first, the only day 1 of 2011. Wow, what in the world happened to 2010? My head is whirling, my memory must really be gone, and don't even talk to me about another year of aging!

So, I have decided to welcome 2011 with all the gusto of a constant party surrounded with friends and family and enjoying every minute that I can! :0)

Done with the "Guilt thing" so I did not make any New Year’s Resolutions, life is just too crazy with never ending changes so there ya go, I will truly take it one day at a time. I do have a wish list: I hope to spend more time designing; jewelry, clothing, handbags; I hope to spend more time with family; I hope to be brave enough to overcome any and all obstacles in my path; I hope to stay healthy and gain more wisdom; I hope that any and all changes and adventures will truly make me a stronger person; I hope that I can continue to Laugh and embrace whatever NEWNESS comes my way; I hope to really get the tolerance and patience thing down and be loved for my gentleness and kindness; I hope to be a better friend;


So far, doing great today, sure it's ONLY 1:11pm (PST) but hey; it is a NEW BEGINNING right?

The Prime Rib is in the Oven the Potatoes are nearly baked, dessert is tempting me; it is ready and available to partake. My sister and Brother-In-Law are on their way over and we will be having what we call “LINNER” around 2:00 p.m.

It will be a nice relaxing, fun day, just the four of us old people, “COOL Old People”, eating, and reflecting on the past I suppose, enjoying a luscious beverage or two, possibly watch a movie later on.


I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE “It’s Complicated” with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin, I cannot get enough of that movie, or perhaps we will watch, “Wolfman” I found this to be a most awesome movie the 2nd time around and of course, ANTHONY HOPKINS, does it get any better than him and his acting? I do have a crush on him!


So good friends, I wanted to share a little of my 2011 thoughts and wish you all a “HAPPY NEW YEAR”, may you love your life, have the best of health and prosperity in this new world that we live in.

Hugs to all! ♥♥♥

It was Mighty Cold Today!

This was taken today at about 1:00 PST. This fountain sits out front of our Favorite Mexican Restaurant in Victorville, Ca. Victorville is located in the High desert of Southern California.  Elevation approx. 2700 ft.  The car thermometer said it was 37 degrees outside, BUT that is before the Wind Chill Factor!!!

BURR!!

OMG! Shag Carpeting is Back in Full Force!

My Husband and I had Cabin Fever today and decided to risk the cold, windy, rain threatening weather and venture out to COSTCO.

Wow, I could not believe all of the food samples they were handing out today!  I have never been there when they had this many little tiny food stations, with massive amounts of samples.  In fact,  Michael ate so much that he bowed out of our previous plans of going out to dinner.   I, on the other hand did not eat as many of these free, enticing, samples of pure bliss so I had him take me to the In-N-Out Burger drive thru and I ordered my usual; a Double-Double Cheeseburger and an order of fresh hot fries. YUMMY!

As we were strolling the isles of COSTCO something so very familiar caught my eye.  I almost let out a scream as I noticed just a few feet away from me was a bin filled with large area rugs.  Not just any area rugs, but SHAG Carpeting Area Rugs.  I was taken back to the 70's when that was the stylish and most popular style of rug to have.  Yes, you could grow a garden in that long, thick like hair, carpet.  YES!!! it is BACK!!!  Whoa, I don't even think I am ready for this again.  Do you know what kind of creatures can have a soft, cushy life in that carpet?  Just imagine it, cause it will happen and you will NEVER find them in their new City of lushness!

Here are the photos of the beautiful Shag Carpet choices that were available at Costco, and the price, just a mere $124.00!

Enjoy, I wish you a peaceful, relaxing evening!

I know I have been Bad!

My Dear Blog,
It was not my intention to neglect you and my friends but life is not slowing down any and I have been running my self ragged the last 10 days.  I know, I know, that is no excuse!  I could at least take a few moments to share my thoughts, my days activities, my dreams, my tears, but it has been sooo hectic.  Please forgive me, I will try to do better.

What has happened to all of us anyway?  There used to be time in the day to take a break, have some tea and cookies perhaps, share a thought or two with a friend, call a relative we haven't spoken with in a while.  It is just plain crazy nowadays.  I feel like I am running, from the time my feet hit the floor in the morning until it is time to rest my weary head on my bed pillow at night.  All day, The Phones are ringing, door bell is ringing, laundry needs to be done, dinner planned, shopping, and oh, don't forget those bills that need to be paid.  Cell phones, Computers, Fax Machines, UPS Deliveries, I am ready to scream.

I will try to reflect back on the last 10 days that I have so thoughtlessly avoided you and see what I remember as a fun, interesting tidbit that may have happened along the way in my crazy, high speed life.  I am sure there was a laugh or two, a touching story, a few tears, (maybe I will be willing to share), I will do my best to try and think of something.  If not, well, please give me a little, minute, tiny bit of a pat on the back for checking in tonight. 

I am exhausted, just fried, and need to mellow out a bit before it is time for the sun to shine again and the madness starts all over.

Have a wonderful night, sleep tight, and I wish you beautiful Dreams!
