Wish I could write this clearly

What color are your toes? Mine are …

To buy or not to buy, that is the question

I saw this chair quite a while ago and decided it would look great in my foyer. It just happens to be on sale right now, so the question is: Do I get it now, or do I wait and run the risk of it not being available later?

What is is with me and bags?

I get email updates from lots of companies … daily. Sometimes it’s annoying. Actually, most of the time it’s annoying, but I still don’t unsubscribe, because you never know … right. So, I have a few favorites even though I rarely, if ever, can afford to actually buy anything from them. One such company is Sundance. Yeah, this just popped in my inbox today:


So, what do I zero in on? The bag. The suede bag. *head desk*

Isn’t it just fabulous?

Can I have it? Please. I’d even take the yellow one.


I didn’t mention that I just recently bought a bag, did I? A suede bag. But, it’s black, so maybe I need a blue one?

I need help.

Belated Tales of Blessings

I know some of you already know, actually, most of you probably already know, my long tale of acquiring a house. I prayed and waited and waited and prayed and I was finally blessed with the house I had claimed as mine for over four months. I cleaned and spackled and sanded and spackled and cleaned and painted and cleaned some more. At long last, I was able to move in the day before Thanksgiving, but the work didn’t stop there. I bought a new water heater, a new toilet, had the garage door repaired, had a shower faucet repaired, had a gas line moved, a brand new stove installed, a brand new dishwasher installed, electrical wires uncrossed and a house fire averted. It’s been a busy three months—and pictures are long overdue—but I’m finally sharing two of my Christmas-decorated rooms with you here.

Here’s wishing you a truly blessed 2010! In my camp, the year is off to an equally busy start as the last one ended.

Too little time ... or not organized enough

I have apparently totally neglected my blog for months now ... oh well.
