Weekend Recap

Well, I've had a pretty uneventful weekend.

Did a little scrapbooking-
Did a little-out-to-eat Saturday night-
Did a little church-
Did a little steaks on the grill-
Did a little reading-
Did a little cleaning-
Did a little at home facial-
Did a little errand running
And getting ready to do a little Emmy and Bridezilla watching-

The hubby has worked all weekend so I have not seen him except at the restaurant last night (Saturday)

My friends and I are starting a book club and our first meeting was suppose to be Wednesday so I read like crazy to finish the book I was currently on to be ready to read the first book we pick on Wednesday, but I heard about an hour ago that we are going to reschedule the first meeting until the next Wednesday, so I didn't have to finish that book so quickly (I finished it early this morning) But, oh well, I guess I have that book done now. I will probably take a little break until book club starts (or maybe not).

Have I told the blog that a friend and I are going to see the "American Pickers" shop on September 11th? (It is a show on the history channel on Monday nights) google it. Well if not I am and I am so excited!

Dr. Dolittle

I just walked out side to let my dog in and as soon as I shut the dog I looked up and saw another dog on my driveway...I then started walking around the corner and a mouse was a few feet away. Then I looked up at my dog...I am not Dr. Dolittle, what is with all the animals?

Cook-out

Kooky aunt again

All three...my mom is in the middle...my grandma on the right...and aunts are the other two.


My brother was there but I don't have a pic of him and my uncle.

Embarrassing Moment

I could of just had a potential embarrassing moment. I was on the treadmill in my house and when I am on the treadmill in my house I usually just wear a bra. (well underwear, pants, socks, and shoes, but bra on top) I am just more comfortable that way and I am home alone. Well, while on the treadmill my phone rang and it was my husband. We started chit chatting and he started talking about the weather so I walked into the living room to look out the picture window to see the sky (are you following here and know where I am going with this?) after talking for a minute I am like "sh*t I am in front of the living room picture window wearing just a bra on top" No one was on the street (car or walking) and my neighbor across the street's car was not in the driveway and the house next to her is empty and for sale, so I don't think anyone saw me, but I am not 100% for sure. Let's hope no one saw!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vintage

My brother and I took a little day trip to some vintage stores a little over an hour south of us....we just wanted to get in the car and drive. I got a bunch of neat things.

The upper left hand corner is a tray with red roses on it and I also found a table cloth with red roses on it to match. To the right of that is a cake stand, below that are a set of embroidered pillow cases. To the left of the pillow cases (with the pink trim) is another table cloth, to the left of that is a tray. The final to things on the right side of this picture are table runners. One is an eyelet pattern and one is an embroidered and crotcheted pattern.

This is the same picture but now you can see the apron.

This is a ring I got. Inside the ring says 14k (gold) and it is an opal (my birthstone) This cost me $15.


My favorite thing to do is visit vintage stores....love, love, love it!

Ideas?

My husband was demoing at work today and found a box of these old bottles. Any ideas on what to use them for?
maybe vases?
any other ideas?

Does anyone know how to clean out the insides?

First Practice Pics with New Camera

Folks, here are some PRACTICE shots....pics of weird things just to practice. Please understand that I have had this camera like 6 hours period....and have done other things today besides play with my new toy. So, take these with a grain of salt.


Also, I do not have any editing software, so these are right off of the camera.

I bite the bullet!

I bite the bullet....I purchased a camera! A big girl camera. This is the exact one I got.
