Just a bit of redecorating to do

I think my bathroom needs something.  With that in mind, I have just a bit of redecorating to do.  In all honesty, about all it really needs is a new shower curtain.  I found some perfect shower curtains online.  Now I just have to figure out which one I want.

I love shopping at SHOP.COM because just about anything you’re looking for can be found there.  I have it marked as one of my favorites so when I’m in the mood for a little shopping, that’s where I like to start.  It’s a huge help and really saves you a lot of time because they have already done the looking for you.  Know what I mean?

Happy Halloween Y’all

Well it’s about time for those cute little ones to come knocking on your door in their costumes saying “Trick or Treat” when you answer the door, just hoping for a piece or two……..more like a hand full………..of candy.  What I love more than that is dressing up too and scaring the pants off of those little darlins when they ring the door bell!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y’ALL!!!!

I just love Maxine!!

I got this from my sister because she thinks Maxine and I are a lot alike.  Well after reading this one, I have to agree!  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Maxine on – Retirement as a Wal-Mart Greeter

Maxine

Unfortunately, as I have gotten older, I have become a little less sensitive. So, after trying my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, last weekend (a good find for many retirees), I lasted less than a day……

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, coyote ugly, nasty woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’

The ugly, nasty woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?’

So I replied, ‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am. I just find it hard to believe you got laid twice.

Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.’

My 25 year old supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work…….. soooo maybe I’ll go fishing.

My niece and skis!!!

My sisters only daughter is an absolute ski nut.  I don’t mean water skiing either.  She loves snow skiing, snow boarding and anything that has to do with sliding around in the snow.  She’s always looking for ski deals.  Me personally, I don’t care for snow at all.  But this is one part of skiing that has totally surprised me.  She won’t go out skiing unless she has the latest fashions for skiing or snow boarding for the new season.

See all of this time I thought the main thing was not to break your leg or neck and stay warm.  Well not anymore it seems.  You also have to be in the latest fashions for that year too.  Personally I know absolutely nothing about what’s hot and what’s not in the latest and greatest ski apparel but I did learn a lot when I was searching for a graduation gift in the form of ski deals for her.  It’s absolutely amazing what you can learn about on the Internet.  Not to mention, who would have thought an old lady like me would be surfing the Internet for ski fashions for my niece either?  I would have never dreamed a couple years ago but I think I’m as addicted to the Internet as she is to skiing.

These are so very awesome

Here I was one minute looking for baby shower invitations online and found myself totally engrossed in wedding invitations instead. I had no idea that anyone would or could print such amazing wedding invitations.  Some of them were the cutest things I have ever seen and others were so very proper for the occasion.

One things for sure, IF and when there’s going to be a wedding around here, I already know where to look for invitations.  Perfect invitations I should say.  Oh and they have a lot more but those invitations were what really caught my eye and made me look more into the site.  Bet you’ll love it too if you just check it out.

Man trouble

Okay, Okay, it all makes sense now… I never looked at it this way before but have you ever notice how it seems that all or at least most of a womens problems start with MEN?

Woman has Man in it;    Mrs. has Mr. in it;

Female has Male in it;    She has He in it;

Madam has Adam in it;

MENtal illness    MENstrual cramps

MENtal breakdown    MENopause

GUYnecologist

AND .. When we have REAL trouble, it’s a HISterectomy. To honor all of the ‘MEN’ here’s a picture of the husband of the year just to prove the ‘Man Trouble we tend to have:

Husband of the year

The winner of the husband-n-wife of the year is ………. ‘Scotland’  Ya gotta love the Scottish.  The Scottish are true romantics. Look, he’s even holding her hand.  Looks like my kinda guy………..not!!!!

So much to consider

With a little one soon to be here, there is so very much to consider.  Safety is the first priority!  In my day, no one thought about the things they do today about child safety.  With the stairs that come from upstairs, child safety gates are a must.  Not to mention having baby gates installed at all of the places the baby does not need to be when it starts scooting around.  KidSafeInc.com has been one of the best resources for me as far as safety goes.

They not only will tell you all about safety, but also carry the products you are looking for like extra wide baby gates for wide openings, pressure gates for adjustable openings, pet gates and especially stairway gates. You just can’t be too careful, now can you?  Actually, I should have said, you have to be too careful when there’s a little one or even a pet around, don’t you think?

Don’t you just love good T-shirts?

I’m a T-shirt and jeans kinda lady most of the time.  One of my favorite is my collection of Nirvana T-shirts. Does that surprise you? Well I like all kinds of music and T-shirts.  You just have to make sure that what you’re getting is of high quality or they won’t last.

What a rotten day

I woke up this morning and just felt like a mac truck had run over me.  Don’t you hate that?  I sure do.  I have a dull headache, body aches and tummy just doesn’t feel quite right either.  Man I sure hope I’m not coming down with anything.  Maybe it’s just all of this stinking rain that has me feeling all ‘blah’ all over.

Baby will be here soon

I swear I’m having more fun buying things for this baby that will be here soon than I have had in years.  Sure I love to shop for myself but this is more fun than I imagined it would be.  Have you ever heard of Jellycat?  They have some of the cutest toys I have ever seen but then again, I never did so much shopping for a little one before either.  It’s about like having a present and waiting to unwrap it waiting for this little one.

Barefoot Dreams makes some of the cutest baby wraps and blankets you could ever imagine.  Let’s not forget the adorable cardigan and caps they have too.  If you’re looking for clothes, Appaman has perfect clothes for the little one too.  Their onesies are absolutely darling.  I had no idea just how much fun it would be buying baby things.  I sure missed out in my younger years = but not anymore.
