TGIF




Thank goodness it's Friday!

This has been a long week for me.  Too much driving.  Lot's of work at the office and not enough sleep!

I'm ready for the weekend.

I have to admit I still haven't taken the ornaments off our Christmas tree nor removed the holiday lights from the front and side of my house (not that it's unusual for me to postpone activities such as this).  I also have a full Christmas snow village to take down and I have to pack up my beloved carolers.

While I sat impatiently in my office chair today waiting for the clock to strike 5:00, I couldn't help but do a little shopping...I managed to spend quite a bit of dough just sitting here.  It can be a problem sometimes, the ease of online shopping.  Anyway, I'm looking forward to receiving my new items tomorrow (thanks Amazon Prime)!

Want to see what I bought?  I thought you might! :)

Mirror I've needed since my previous mirror broke about 3-4 months ago!  Yes, I have literally had to guess what my butt looked like in pants ever since that day!
Cookware Set - The set I've been using the last couple of years is literally falling apart.  I mean, handles have broken off, pieces of porcelain have chipped off, lids have gotten broken, etc.  I've been looking for a new set for a while now.  This should do the trick!

Marble cheese slicer - I eat cheese like it's going out of style - I'm talking lots of cheese - every day!  There's nothing like a nice hunk of extra sharp cheddar cheese (I get this sharp cheddar cheese obsession from my Dad I think...)
Sound/Sleep Machine - I live rather close to a railroad crossing.  Need I say more?  



Some of you might argue with the fact that all of the above are necessities, but the way I see it, if you want something long enough, you deserve to treat yourself.  I've wanted each of the above for over a year now and seeing as I work my butt off every day, I say, why not join the rest of the consumers in America and allow myself some little luxuries, right?  As long as I don't have any debt, I ought to give myself a little present or two every now and then - as long as I don't go overboard.

Maybe next blog post, I'll share how frugal I can be at times, especially when it comes to clothes shopping!  You wouldn't believe some of the deals I've found!

Happy Friday everyone!

Cat World

I have always been a huge fan of cats.  Yes, I have been called Crazy Cat Lady more times than I can count.  I never really understood that term, to be honest.  In fact, I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to have a bunch of cats around.  Cats are magnificent creatures.  They are smart and have unique personalities and needless to say, cats don't lack attitude.  They don't just follow you around and do whatever you would like them to do and I find that's what makes them desirable pets for me.  One must respect a cat to earn their affection. I have had two cats for many years.  Let's face it, pets are a lot of work and I always felt two furry friends provided me with great companionship and also plenty of work.  It wasn't until about two years ago that a third kitty found her way into my life.  She literally showed up outside in the freezing cold on Christmas Eve Day.  It was about 12 degrees outside and I had a terrible fe...

Hey! Curious where I've been for the last 7+ years?

Oh my poor lonely blog, without a blogger to care for it....shame on me!  This is a typical Gemini, or A.D.H.D. behavior rather, that I often exhibit.  It's called toobusytocareism .  It's true!  I have just been too busy to pay any attention to...ME.  I love to write, but I also love all of the life events that I've endured over the past SEVEN YEARS if I'm doing my math correctly. I began this blog ages ago - when I was recently married and not yet a Mama.  I was still quite busy with work, lots of cats and my Mister, who we'll keep anonymous - at least for now.  We were living in that gorgeous Queen Anne style Victorian in Amenia, New York, when I had started my beloved blog.  Well, it lasted less than one full month - the blog that is - not the house, relationship, etc.!  The marriage is still going strong (at least most days) and the house to the best of my knowledge still stands as well, but we don't live in it, which brings me to my...

Happy New Year!

Well, today marks the first day of 2013.  I have decided to make my first resolution - working on my blog (finally)!  I set up this blog back in 2007 and I suppose I've either been extremely busy for the last several years or I've had a severe case of writer's block.  Anyway, I'm determined to make this year different. I've always had a passion for writing, but it seems that since my work schedule has gotten so busy, I haven't made the time for doing many of the things I enjoy - writing included.  I also haven't made time for my music - I like to play the flute and always imagined one day I might actually compose a flute solo of my own (yes, actually write the music myself).  However, I admit, this may prove more of a dream than a reality - at least that's how I imagine that to be for the next few years. I have had a lot of major events in my life the last couple of years. First, I purchased my dream home - a Queen Anne Victorian that I absolutely ...
