A Life Changing Video!

A Life Changing Video!

This video is what has inspired me to do some personal soul-searching, and some cleaning out of my emotional baggage!!! A son asks to his father”Papa, would you run a marathon with me?” The dad answers yes and both run their first marathon together. Later 

Summer is Officially Here In Oregon!

Summer is Officially Here In Oregon!

Ok, so today is not technically the first day of Summer, but today is the first day that I HAD to make sure the air conditioner was on, and all of the fans were positioned at exactly the right place to make sure that I 

Back Home!

Back Home!

My sweetie and I are back home from a very nice, and very relaxing weekend at the coast. I think I might have come down with a bug, but at this point I am planning on “walking it off” so to speak, because I am just too busy to be down sick right now!!! 🙂

On a positive note, I am so excited about a treasure that I did bring home from the coast. I have been looking for some additional seating for my living room, and I got EXTREMELY LUCKY this past weekend! I found this small, vintage, black leather rocking/swivel chair, which fits perfectly in one corner of my living room!!! Not only that, but I got it for $14.00!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE!?!? It is in near perfect condition, it is just needing a little elbow grease to clean it up! I am sure it was because people don’t usually go to the coast to purchase furniture! People are usually hunting for costume jewelry, books at a great price, and other vintage knick-knacky-type things!! So, I was literally at the right place, at the right time!!! 😉

Oh, another note, I was feeling froggy last Thursday morning, and decided it was time to cut myself some bangs!!! I usually have my girlfriend, Dawn come over and do it for me, but I figured it was time to “Queen-Up” and just do it for myself!!!! I am pretty happy with them, I think they make me look younger!!! Here are the results: My bangs were originally reached past my chin!! I would love to hear what you think!!

I am getting ready for my work week by getting my laundry done, and I have a lot of work to do going through my entire book collection! I have to weed out those books that I don’t absolutely LOVE to make way for some new reads! Some day I will have a massive library, but for now, in my little condo, I need to make sure that I use some restraint! and honey, “Restraint” is not a word that used often in my vocabulary!! LOL!! 😉 but I am working on prioritizing!!! 😉

I am off to do some domestic goddess work – you know it is a tough job, but someone has got to do it!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July!!

I love the 4th of July! It is the one weekend a year that my husband and I can always count on to get away from it all and spend a quite weekend together to celebrate our anniversary. We were married July 1st, 1995, so
