Chad just celebrated his 13th birthday on friday the 13th! His Grammi decided he needed drums. He did ASK for them afterall. So she purchased a used set from my dad (her ex-husband) and merrily dropped them off at my house. I may call her up over and over and let Chad play on her answering machine at home.

Please Vote and Help Me Make a Decision!


Can you take a minute to VOTE?! Help me out!!!
One of my pledges this year has been to only buy two pair of shoes ALL year. Where did I come up with this number?!?!?! So I was out with my mom shopping in antique stores for vintage plates - we were so lucky - we found them in the first store! But we had time and we didn't want to miss out on cuter or cheaper plates - so we kept looking. Thank goodness. Because at the back (very back) of one of the stores - they were selling shoes. And there they were. Nine West. My size. Beautiful Beautiful shoes. AND they were $3! Not $13, not $30, $3!!!! So I snatched them up. Dont you love them?
Mom said they don't count since they were only $3 :-) But since it's February and I'm still super motivated....I am counting this pair. And I am giving a pair to charity. But of course - I can never part with shoes - I love them all and I actually WEAR them all surprisingly! AND when I got home - I realized I had a black, red and white NINE WEST purse!!! So cute!



So I will post three pairs of shoes - and the pair with the most votes will be shipped off to a new home where they will be loved with deep passion as they have been loved here. (yes i'm a little sad)

Cream Flat Slingbacks














Brown Lace-Up Boots














Blue Suede Ankle Boots



Thanks! Leave a comment on which shoes to DONATE! Not keep! Thank you so much!!!!

Groundhog Day


I think Mister Chad is feeling a little left out. I told him he was too old to post cutesy blogs about! But he doesn't buy it :-) This short little story is something we have been laughing about a lot these past couple of weeks....Baylor and Chad went to the Riverwalk movie theatre...Baylor's mom dropped them off and Baylor had called her to say the movie was over. Almost immediately the boys saw her pull up and they ran out to the car. Baylor went for the front door and Chad opened the back passenger door. He saw some kids in the backseat and thought Baylor's sister had brought some friends. He heard Baylor's mom say "Wrong..." so he started to shut the door and walk around to the other side - thinking she was saying "Wrong Door" when it all hit him at once. These 3 kids were babies and in CARSEATS - not Baylor's sisters age...and the woman in the driver seat had calmly said "Wrong Car Boys"
The woman was a complete stranger.
I was very impressed with how calm and collected she was!

Since the month of January is over - I did go thru the 2009 TO DO lists and updated it with (Jan) or other notes - if the task was completed. It keeps me up to date and motivated...and it shows a little bit of progress :)

I hope your Groundhog day was fabulous!
