Dreaming of Outdoor Living

January 20, 2012Leave a comment

There’s nothing like pinterest to remind us all what we want and haven’t got. In the depths of January, despite our warmer than normal temperatures, I can’t get my mind off summer and pools and dream backyards with green grass. Typical. On Friday afternoons, my mind often wanders to what my plans would look like if it were May-August…

Suffice it to say, pool time would be on the agenda. These are a few of my favorite outdoor living scenes. Follow me on pinterest for more: http://pinterest.com/paytonvail

Not A Fan of Fergie Fug

December 13, 20111 Comment

I must preface this by saying I am not a Fergie fan. I don’t understand her appeal and I can never get over her peeing on stage during a BEP concert. Yeah her music is ok but I just don’t like her and I can’t really explain why.

Here is a great reason to be annoyed with her. Why oh why would you EVER wear a dress that visibly cannot zip. There are so very many options of what to do when you realize it doesn’t zip and there are precious few minutes to spare.

Choose another dress
Wear a jacket
Get it altered
Skip the event

Next time, Fergie, please choose another option wisely.

Thankful

Counting one’s blessings is always a healthy and humbling thing to do. This year I’m thankful for a handsome new husband, a healthy and expanded family, sweet friends, puppies, yummy food, free time and so much more. I always think of Thanksgiving as a passage into six weeks of holidays and it’s lovely to be on the front end.

A happy girl is a pretty girl, don’t you agree?

Excuse the Interruption

Forgive me for the lack of posts. I’ve been sick. Hope to be back at full speed tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my brand new hubby’s birthday. We took the day off to celebrate (as if we really needed an occasion). Isn’t it so much fun to make merry and be carefree and just bask in happiness? Yeah the answer is yes.

I hope you’re celebrating something, anything this weekend!
