Disaster In The Kitchen


Happy Hump Day, Shopaholics! 

Something disastrous happened in the kitchen yesterday. No, I didn't cook and make us sick - I wish. I'm sick for a different reason.

An extremely heavy glass vase fell off the top of our refrigerator. Of all the things it could hit...it decided to fall directly on our glass cooktop.

This will cost over $500...ask me what I'd rather do with $500? :-(

Upon reflection, we are extremely fortunate no one was injured. The glass vase was very heavy and as you can tell from the above photograph, glass went all over the kitchen. It was a big mess to cleanup.

Have you ever had any similar disasters? I'm so ticked at myself --- why did I allow a heavy vase on top of the fridge? What the heck was I thinking??? Ugh...

    OH, Lori....I am so sorry. What a mess and a dangerous one at that! I think I'd have to sit on that one for a while.

    Lori- I am so sorry! I feel your pain. We had a dripping shower head and I had been nagging my husband for a while to have a look at it. Well, this he decided to do on a Friday evening after having had a couple of beers. He took his wrench off the bathroom where the shower is located and next thing I know, water starts flooding all around me in the kitchen. Turns out that he dislocated the shower handle from the water pipe - WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE WATER MAIN FIRST. Then he went running around like a crazy man in and out of house to get a tool to turn the water main off. He slipped and fell on the kitchen tile (which was underwater). He hit his head and I then had to take him to the emergency room for stitches. And then deal with a flooded house at midnight!

    Wow, we have a similar stove and my mom always freaks out if something falls from the cabinet above it. I never really believed her when she said it could break...now I know. So sorry you have to deal with this!

    My son broke the glass door on my oven when he was little. Freak accident. But it shattered everywhere. Glad to hear everyone is ok.

    I'm a little late commenting on this. Ouch! I feel your pain. Tomorrow, the A/C needs repair and the hot water heater is not working as well. Lord, what I could do with the money that will be spent:{

My Visit With Caroline Grace Jewelry

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

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
