Home Alone

Want to know what happens when Hubby leaves me Home Alone with a Computer and Credit Card:

Exactly, a Foyer Full of Boxes!!!    Don't look over your glasses at me!!   It's all your fault!!

Don't you love shopping?  I do.  I love everything about it.   I love window shopping, internet shopping, furniture shopping, accessory shopping.....

Oh Yeah - Guess What -  Shopping can also land you Merchandise Credit, SO you can Shop some More --- WooHoo!!   Look what I got in the Mail today from PotteryBarn.  They Like Me!  :)  

 

Speaking of Shopping -

My Awesome Fabulous Manager Team gave me a Dwellings Gift Certificate for Christmas.  I am so excited and it is burning a hole in my pocket....I am going to use it to buy a light fixture for my Living Room and I've narrowed it down to 3.....

Which one Should I Pick?

Option A:

Option B:

 Option C:

Also Shopping for New Lamps for the Bedroom -

 

My Sidekick Likes These Ones:

 

 

 

If you Buy New Lamps then of course you have to Buy New Bedding....Right?

 

If you Buy New Lamps and Bedding....Then you Need New Chairs for the Sitting Area...Right?

Of Course, You Would also Need a New Table to sit my Diet Coke on Between Those Chairs -

Isn't Shopping Fun....



Bi-Coastal Vacation

Rickus and I were blessed to become Bi-Coastal Travelers....Last Year....

I had a business trip that took us to Virginia in June and here we are doing Selfies on Virginia Beach (See Kids We are Still Hip).......

Isn't this Beautiful? ....

Will it ever be this warm again? ....

Look...Rickus Built me a Sandcastle...He is the Best! :)

We Laughed until We Cried ...Driving our Pedal Car on the Beach...It's harder than you think....

Look How Happy He Is When His Belly is Full....

 

Then in September .... We Visited our Kids and GrandBabies on the West Coast....

Isn't Oregon Beautiful....

We Stayed Right on the Beach.....

You can see LightHouses waaaayyy off in the distance...Squint Really Hard while Looking Left and You will See It....

Selfie Time....We went to a Really Cool little Bistro for Breakfast...

This is the walkway back up to our hotel...

Isn't He Precious....Our Youngest GrandBaby ... Riley... Enjoying the Beach...

Hope You Enjoyed a Little Sunshine in the Middle of our Deep Freeze....

Home Shows

I am completely obsessed with houses!   Homearamas' and Home Expos' are like Christmas to me!

Have you ever been to a Homearama?

Aren't they completely amazing? 

 

How do they do it? 

The designers are soooo creative....

I just stand in the houses like a stalker and daydream.....

I like to pretend that I live there too ...

'I would soooo sit out here in the morning breeze with my laptop and enjoy my refreshing Diet Coke'.....

'Until it is time to get ready for work in this beautiful bathroom'...........

'But, first I must plan the menu for my party in here' ......

'And....I would so learn to cook if I had a kitchen like this'....

Guess What!!   I have Great News....I saw a commercial today ... A Home Show is coming ....Norton Commons Charity Home Show in Louisville, KY .... May 10-25...... One of My Favorite Subdivisions ....I will soooo be there....After All It's for A Good Cause!!!  .... See Details Below...

No, it wasn't Hawaii or the Grand Caymans or the Virgin Islands .... It Was ... Wait for It... At Vinnie's Cabins on the Ohio River.   I know, I know, it doesn't sound like Fantasy Island ....  But, it was....

 

You see it was Quiet Time spent with the ones I love.....My Family......

We couldn't Text, Work, E-mail, Twitter, Facebook.... I know.....You're probably thinking .... What else is there to do!!!


We Explored....

Even Became SuperHero's

Also, told Family Stories, and Ate and Ate and Ate GVD's (aka Mom's) Home Cookin'....I'm telling you....PARADISE.....
