Weekend Whereabouts....

Happy Saturday, Shopaholics! Are you glad it's the weekend? Any big plans?

A few days ago, our refrigerator began to die a slow death. Ask me how much "fun" it's been trying to keep a refrigerator and freezer FULL of food cold for the past few days? Yeah, not much fun at all. Our kitchen is littered with coolers full of ice and food. It's a real pain to even find the milk to make your cereal. Ugh.

At some point today, Lowe's will deliver a new refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. I can't tell you how happy I will be to see that truck pull up! I'm sure the entire day will be tied up with it though - getting the kitchen back in order after this latest little disaster. Thank goodness the DH is home to help, it's been a rough few days!

We also plan to enjoy a little NFL football over the weekend. Since our team (Dallas Cowboys) wasn't even close to playoff status this year (!), I honestly don't care who wins the games. But I will offer this personal opinion -anyone except the Steelers in the Super Bowl, please! :-)

Enjoy your weekend, and don't miss Monday's post! I plan to finally speak out on a little something that has been bothering me for a long time...

    Oooh, a fridge dying is NO fun! But getting new ones sure is! You better make sure that you have plenty of white wine and champagne chilling in there! XoXo

    I have a question because I admire how well you shop. I have a hard time ordering things on-line without trying them on hence the great discount websites. But because I'm a stay=at-home mom, and I'm on a budget, Lilly things can blow that budget fairly quickly, but if at a good price then maybe I can slip in it. Do you ever buy ahead when the stores have the sales like a sundress or capri pants in December. I see the summer dresses, but I'm bundled up like an Eskimo, and can't think that far ahead. I tend to go for the winter rack on sale, but they aren't discounted as much. Do you have a strategy where you buy summer in December, etc? And is there a Lilly outlet anywhere? We have a Lilly boutique where I live called, "Palm Avenue".

    I am 100% with you on the NFL games this year Lori!! I love the Colts - Peyton Manning and the Giants - Eli Manning ;-), but beyond that, I don't have another team I love. At times I will cheer for one because they have a really poignant human interest angle, but not this year. Have fun with the kitchen semi-reno ;-) xoxo

    Yeah, our Cowboys didn't do so hot this year. I figure I will enjoy the food and fellowship of the Super Bowl Party this year more than the actual game ;) well, except the commercials!

    Yuck that the fridge konked out on you, but all new appliances will be nice!

My Visit With Caroline Grace Jewelry

Image
Happy Tuesday, Shopaholics! Thanks so much for all your kind words and comments after my last blog post. Admittedly I was feeling a wee bit sorry for myself and a little unloved. You know I'm not normally one to be "down" on anything - least of all myself! Your support means the world to me, and I really appreciate you all caring about my life - even when I'm not shopping. LOL Do you remember me being excited about getting tickets to the Bon Jovi concert here at the beach? I managed to talk my friend Lucy over at Caroline Grace Jewelry into coming down for the concert and to spend the weekend.  It was the first time we'd met in person, although we were already big buddies on Twitter, Facebook, etc. DH was calling her a "computer friend"; so thankfully she came down and proved to him she was a "real friend". We started the weekend by getting fresh pedicures on Friday morning: Then, we went down to the public beach for the concert. We tai

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Testing The Waters

***Y'all who were reading before - you know I am HONEST to a fault. This post contains my honest feelings and is not censored. If you came here today to get cheered up or motivated, I apologize in advance. You might want to tune in another day!*** A big hello to you all! Wow - I can't believe it has been four years since I was involved in blogging. I have often wondered "is it time to revive the blog" over this time...and after some encouragement from long time readers and friends, I have decided to test the waters!  It feels so strange - I don't even know if folks read blogs anymore! I know that most blogging happens on platforms such as Instagram, which in my mind is for pictures more than content. And heck let's face it, most days I don't even put on makeup or fix my hair, so that will NOT work for this chick. HA! If you're still around and want to read my ramblings, this is the place for you. 😀 The last time I blogged I was so focused on
