In Love With Ice Cream… is there anyone who doesn’t like it?? I do remember one occasion when my mom and dad wanted to make my eighteen birthday party really special and invited the entire family as well as a ton of friends to our house. Being the girly girl that I am, mom picked up this huge bucket (the kind that restaurants have) of strawberry ice cream. It was pink!! Well, someone goofed. It wasn’t pink. It was orange and black and tasted about as bad as it looked. Okay, I guess it would have been okay if you liked orange ice cream with licorice swirls. Too bad my birthday hadn’t been in October. It would have been really cool lol…

I Just Want to be Praised

If each of us were to confess his most secret desire, the one that inspires all his plans, all his actions, he would say: “I want to be praised.

We Get Our Movies For Free

We have a great library and when we sell our house and have to move, I’m really going to miss it. Our library has thousands of movies and they are absolutely free to borrow! I don’t even want to think about how much money I have wasted in the past at movie rental stores. Check out your own library and see what they have to offer. Finding entertainment for free will really make a proshopper out of you.

TWittering For Today

I had NO idea that you can develop allergies out of the blue but this summer I have been hit big time. It began in May and hasn’t stopped. If anything it’s gotten worse. Apparently this is pretty typical for this particular year, thanks to all the rain that we have had. Here’s hoping that the fields behind the house dry out and fast!

*What Is Going On

When we were younger, the last thing we thought about was how much sleep we needed. As we age, it seems that we need to turn our thoughts to what is taking place while our eyes are closed. Apparently, lots of different areas of our body are being looked at and corrected as we dream pleasant dream. Not only is our muscles being healed, major organs are being given an overhawl as well. And if that isn’t enough, our body is also targeting our stores of fat. What time are you hitting the sack tonight?

*What’s In Your Makeup Bag?

 

Every makeup bag is different. I doubt that any two women choose
the same items. Here’s what you would find in mine.

-compact with a mirror (You can quiet the shine and use the mirror to apply other cosmetics.)

-2 lipsticks (One in a peach shade and one in a rose shade so that

I will have which ever one I need with me at all times.)

-eyeliner pencil (Just in case my liner has disappeared. )

-neutral blush that can double as a shadow

-purse size fragrance.

It’s Been a Bad Week

First of all my husband had to be out of town ALL week, which meant I had to cook… and I can’t if my life depended on it. Okay, I pretty good with grilled cheese sandwiches, but I have a hard time with timing stuff. So don’t ask me to make an entire meal and then to have it all be at the table at the same time.

And then there was the case of finding contentment. I’m a big time city girl, but just maybe I’m changing a little bit. I found this cutest little cottage sitting alongside a stream. So not me, but I could actually see myself living in a place like that. It’s over at my How to Be Content Every Day lens over at Squidoo. I have to admit… if someone was to ask where the most likely place to find me… it wouldn’t be here. Somethings happening to me I’m sure of it lol… not a department store in sight.

My Shopping Trip

Well, it’s still on, but I still have that load of towels to wash. Actually they have been washed and now they are waiting to be hung to dry.  How can one family use soooo many towels in one week?

Feeling Grumpy

It must be the weather thing again. I have my days when I’m feeling as if nothing could go wrong with the world and then other days when I would simply like to pack everything up and go shopping for the entire day. Today happens to be one of those days.
