This is one of my favorite places to shop

If you’re like me, you love to shop but hate to pay full price for anything you buy.  I keep looking until I can find the best possible prices on the items I find myself in need of or just happen to want at that time.  A lady has a right to just want something new from time to time, right?  Heck yeah I’m right.  Like yesterday, I was in my parlor and decided it was time for a new rug. Have you seen just how much a quality rug costs?  Well the price I found was one that made me so happy I had to celebrate.  You know how we are in New Orleans, we celebrate everything.

Well now if you’re going to have a celebration, that means you will need a new dress or two and some new jewelry to go with it. You can’t show up to a celebration in the same old thing you wore the last time you celebrated something, now can you?  Well you might be able to but I sure can’t. I found all sorts of stuff and also found more reasons to celebrate so how about that.  I’ll never buy from a local store again. I like online shopping.

Are you one that frequents pawn shops?

I love pawn shops.  You can find some really great deals on stuff that people have pawned in need of money for one reason or another.  These days, that reason or another just might be that they lost their job and are trying to keep food in the house or just plain old keep their house.  I guess in sort of a round about way, pawn shops help people to survive.

Perks of reaching my age

Yeah, you thought I was going to tell how old I was but that’s not going to happen.  Someone had to remind me, so I’m reminding you too. Don’t laugh…..it is all true…Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!

01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

03. No one expects you to run–anywhere.

04. People call at 9 pm and ask, did I wake you?

05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

07. Things you buy now won’t wear out.

08. You can eat supper at 4 pm.

09. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

13. You sing along with elevator music.

14. Your eyes won’t get much worse.

15 . Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them either.

18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size..

19. You can’t remember who sent you this list.

And Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

We’re adding a kitchen to my outdoor garden

My house is behind my place of business.  There is a breezeway or garden center between my home and the back of the business.  I love it out there and have decided to add an outdoor kitchen. I had no idea where to start to find what I wanted until someone told me about fire magic outside kitchens . Well I jumped on my handy-dandy computer and checked on the Internet and found just what I was looking for.  I didn’t just want a grill, I wanted a more or less complete outdoor kitchen and that’s what I found.

I have to admit that it really took me a long time of looking to find the one that was perfect for me because they have so many different styles, options, and sizes.  You can even get a beer tap if you want.  Talk about a great party time, that would make for one don’t you think?  Grilled ribs and beer on tap makes for a perfect evening if you ask me.  They have some great built in grills, fireplaces and everything you need to make your outdoor kitchen perfect including stainless steel appliances and just about any accessory you could think of.  I can’t wait until I get mine and everything put in.  It will be party time for sure.

Rachel got a Tacori engagement ring!!

Well Rachel and Jayce have decided to get married before the baby is born.  I was tickled pink to hear that because I honestly was afraid he would skip town on her.  Well that’s not going to happen for sure because he bought her a Tacori engagement ring.  Have you ever seen Tacori engagement rings before?  They are absolutely gorgeous and about the best value for your money of any engagement rings I have seen.  Yeah, I’m the one that told him about them.  Not many people know that I was engaged years ago.  They all think I am just a spinster I guess.

See my man bought me a Tacori engagement ring before he went off to war in Vietnam when I was 18 years old.  I felt like the most special woman in the world.  Just imagine this handsome Marine in his dress blues on his knee asking me to marry him while holding the most beautiful engagement ring I had ever seen.  It didn’t take me but a second to say “YES”.  He left for Vietnam two weeks later and never came home.  I never thought about marrying anyone else either.

JR Dunn sure knows his diamonds and especially what will make a girl feel like a princess because that’s exactly what the diamond ring from his store did for me.  That’s not all his store carries either so you should check him out if you want your lady to feel special too.
