Wordless Wednesday – Sherpa Slippers!!!
Since losing a lot of the weight I am frequently cold. Last year I fell in love with fuzzy fleece socks and a sherpa blanket. I often wear a pair of the fleece socks to bed because my feet are freezing. My good friend actually found sherpa slippers and gave them to me for Christmas. [...]
The Bagster Bag Blogger Challenge – Getting Ready To Update The Back Hall
It’s been two months since Hurricane Sandy traveled up the East Coast and devastated my area of the New Jersey shore. Areas hit hard by Sandy are still dealing with damage and trying to clean up. Tractor trailers and dump trucks go through my neighborhood all day long, carrying out the garbage and debris. We [...]
Clown Nose Car Alarm
When I went to the store, I pulled into a parking space and found myself looking at what you see in the above picture. I could only think of one thing – a clown nose built like a squeeze toy on the front end of a car, so if someone bumped into it a horn [...]
Vanquishing The Giant
Earlier today on my way into the kitchen I noticed something on the wall out of the corner of my eye. It was an enormous bug! I absolutely hate bugs. Had it been small I probably would have tried to kill it myself. But this thing was huge! It was like the size of my [...]
Jules Checks Out the Christmas Tree
As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I decided to get a real Christmas tree this year. We put it up and let it rest for a day before decorating it. Actually almost two days passed until we decorated it. I was sitting in the living room at my desk and looked over to [...]
If You Could Spend A Weekend Anywhere In The States Where Would It Be?
It’s almost time for winter break from school. almost as in I am literally counting the days, for both me and the boys. The past two weeks have been so busy, with papers, presentations, a portfolio, projects and exams it’s been nuts. My last day of classes for the fall semester is this week. Then [...]
Size Does Matter – When It Comes To My Chrstmas Tree
When it comes to Christmas trees, anyway. Meet our 2012 Christmas tree. It has already sparked an argument because of it’s size. Yes, it’s real. and it’s big. It’s so big that it touches our ceiling. (It actually left some marks on the ceiling.) It doesn’t have any huge honking bald spots. It smells good. [...]
What I’d Buy If I Won The Sears #styleSURPRISE Sweepstakes – #spon
Want to know a fashion secret? Always, yes ALWAYS, take a friend with you. And make sure it’s a good friend that will be completely honest. Why? Well, it all boils down to one thing – correct fit. When clothes don’t fit right they don’t usually look right. Take my wedding dress, for example. I [...]
Wordless Wednesday – Me On The Set Of #DeliveryManMovie
A couple of days ago I got to go to New York City to visit the set of an upcoming DreamWorks movie called Delivery Man. It stars Vince Vaughn & Cobie Smulders. We had a great time on the set, treated to Vince singing to us between takes. What a hoot! I’m looking forward to [...]
Where Do You Keep Items Close To The Heart?
What kind of mementos do you have from past years? I’m talking about the small things that we accumulate over the years that mean something to us. You know, items with far more sentimental value instead of monetary. Hand made things, collectibles, little gifts, stuff like that. For me, many of those things are located [...]
A Birthday Brings Driving And Signs Of Things To Come
My oldest son got his driver’s license a little more than a week ago, when he turned seventeen years old. I cried a little that day. Why did I cry? I realized that he’s growing up and he’s growing up fast. I don’t actually even know where the past seventeen years have gone. It dawned [...]
My Favorite Holiday Memory
Do you have a favorite holiday memory? I do. It’s Christmas 2006. Not Christmas Day exactly, but rather, Christmas season. A couple of weeks before Christmas we went on a vacation to Walt Disney world and a 3-day Disney cruise. I can honestly say that that trip gave me some of the best memories ever. [...]
First Time Driver
My son turned 17 last week. He also got his learner’s permit for driving. It seems like just last year that he was driving his pedal car, and then his Power Wheels. Where did time go? Thanks for stopping by! If you have a picture up for Wordless Wednesday, leave your link below! Then head [...]
Shopping For The Man That Has Everything. Again.
When do you start Christmas shopping? My Mom shops year round. I can never think a year ahead what someone might want in a year. I start thinking about Christmas gifts towards the end of summer. I generally try to start shopping somewhere around September. Every year I have the same plan – I’ll buy [...]
Days Of Dress Codes
I’ve worked in a couple of places that had dress codes that didn’t make much sense to me, or some of the coworkers I had at the time. When I worked in a call center we rarely saw anyone outside of people that worked for the company. Yet, we had a dress code. At that [...]
