Friday Evening of Inspiration!

Good evening!!

I have had a surprisingly good day today at work! I KNOW – I REALLY DID SAY THAT!!! Work was good! Yes, there were a couple of stressful moments today, but I felt I was really productive, and there MIGHT be a light at the end of this crazy tunnel!! and I may have realized today that the light ISN’T a TRAIN!! LOL! 😉

What a good day!!! My hubby and I just got home, and Jason is in the kitchen cooking my FAVORITE DINNER!!! Shake ‘n Bake pork chops with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli!!! This dinner reminds me of home!!! Comfort food!!! God bless that man of mine!! What a KEEPER!!! 😉

After dinner this evening, I think the plan is that we are going to watch another episode of Bones off of NetFlix, and then we are going to go enjoy a late night walk through the neighborhood!

I thought I would share a couple of pics that have been inspiring me lately!!

If I were to psychoanalyze these, I think I am being drawn towards strong, sexy, powerful women, a luxuriously scrumptious home, a FABULOUS hairstyle, and a rockin’ load of self confidence!! Of course these are all things that I am longing for and in myself!!!

Tell me what kind of things are inspiring you, in the comments above! I am always curious to know what makes other people tick!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉

It’s Snowing!!

Good afternoon!

I know I am getting to my posting late, this is twice in the same week!! Don’t worry, I will get it back together in the morning!!! LOL! 😉

Can I tell you, it is snowing!?!?!?! Well, it is!!! Ok, so nothing too substantial yet, but we are hoping that we wake up to a Winter wonderland!! THAT WOULD BE DIVINE!!!

Jason is running around the house singing “Let It Snow Let It Snow Let it Snow!” Man, he makes me smile!!! HAHAHAHA!!! If I could film him without him knowing, you would hear him singing, but you would ALSO see him doing his “Let It Snow DANCE!!!” HAHAHA!!!

I thought tonight I would take some time to do something creative off of Polyvore and share it with you! Polyvore is one of my FAVORITE web sites to REALLY waste some time having fun on!! It just seems to be a fun and easy way to put different outfits together with accessories, shoes, etc.

Here is a work outfit:

Here is a day with the girls outfit:

Here is a date night outfit:

I am off to spend some quality time with my sweetie!!! OH and let’s not forget – I will be praying for LOADS OF SNOW this evening!!! LOL!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉

Some More Valentine Day Pics!

Good evening!!

I have had a rough day at work today, one of those take this job and shove it kind of days – I am sure all of you know what I mean, at least at one time or another!!!

Tonight I thought I would take my mind COMPLETELY off of work, and share a few pics of yesterday’s Valentines Day double date went!! I don’t have many pics, but I do have a couple of REALLY awesome ones from one of Errin’s photographer friends, Jade Christensen, who is, by the way, sweet and charming and has the BEST ROCKING SHOE BLOG!!!

Dawn and I getting ready to go out on the town!!! Our “Grown Up Prom!” I love you girrrrrl!! Yes, we have been BFF’s since we were 12 years old!!!

😉


Doesn’t she look GREAT!?! I am LOVING her hair!! I can’t wait to go to her hairdresser and get my own

VIXEN-PINUP-SEX-GODDESS-BOMBSHELL-HAIR!!! 😉

Oh, and I DON’T want to forget MY FAVE pic of the night…

Isn’t he such a HOTTIE!?!?!?! and look how sweet SOPHIE is sitting there with her daddy!!! 😉

As I head off to catch up on some sleep, especially after the day I had!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉

A Dapper Evening!!

Good evening!!

My sister, Alex and her kiddos just left for the evening!! Since Christopher just turned 13 on Tuesday, we decided to let him choose dinner – pizza, of course!!! We played a fun game of Clue, which I haven’t done in quite a few years, and I WON!!! WHOO-HOO!! Then we went swimming, and we swam around like crazy people!!! I AM LOVING SWIMMING – it is making me feel so much stronger and more energetic!! Next a relaxing soak in the hot tub, home and a bowl full of cut-up strawberries, and I am a VERY HAPPY girl!!!😉

Well, last evening I spent at least an hour or so perusing the web for some inspirational outfits, to help me think about my wardrobe pieces with fresh eyes! While I was doing that, I ran across quite a few fashionable men too!! I asked my husband what his fashion style was, and his response was “functional”. BUMMER – not exactly what a girl wants to hear, but I really shouldn’t be too surprised! When we first started dating his idea of dressing up, was to wear something with less wholes in it!! 😉 That is ok, I still love his wraggin’ muffin looking self!!!

Here are some of those Hottie-McHottie pics I found last night:

Man!! OH MAN!!! I can’t put my finger on EXACTLY what I like in men’s fashion, but I think it is the juxtaposition between rugged tough man, and old-world gentleman!! Maybe you can see that in those pictures!! If only I could find a way to somehow rub just a smidgen of these dapper men’s fashion sense onto my husband, OH WHAT A MIRACLE DAY THAT WOULD BE!!! You know, like a retro-sexual pill!! 😉 and I am sure I am not the only woman out there thinking it!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS evening! 🙂

 

Wednesday Work Prep Evening!

Good evening!

I feel well rested and so much better after two lazy days off!!! I am back to work tomorrow, and I think that I will be able to handle any stresses that may come my way much better than I was on Monday!! Our team still has a lot of work to do, and I am sure that we will still have a lot of challenges coming our way as we implement this new process over the next few weeks, but I know that I will be able to be a better team mate, and I am sure my co-workers will appreciate that!!! GO TEAM!! 😉

This evening, I have been dreaming about Spring, and getting back out into nature!! Planning my first camping trip of the year with my sweetie – that is ALWAYS THE BEST FUN!!!

Diane Von Furstenberg says that your clothing should comfort you, flatter you, and make you feel your best, just like best friends!! Which got me to dreaming about what “friends” I would like to see in my Spring Wardrobe! Would you like to see??

Do you think it is possible to own too many dresses??? I am starting to believe the more the merrier!!! 😉 Are there any pieces that you are dreaming would join your Spring closet?

Have a FABULOUS evening!!

Auntie Night!!

Yesterday was the day that my niece came over to hang out with Jason and I!! I would LOVE to say that we had fun all day, UNFORTUNATELY since I had to work a large portion of the day, we haven’t had as much fun as we usually do when we get together!!! HOWEVER I did make sure to take some time to get away – we went to the park to play on all of the equipment, had some yummy pizza for dinner, and then went swimming, where we ALWAYS have fun playing!! I AM SOOOOO BEAT RIGHT NOW!!! So, in lieu of more words, I am going to share some of our time at the park with pictures.

Enjoy!!

I think that about sums it up!! 😉

Well, we are off to go eat Uncle Jay-Jay’s FAMOUS pankcakes!!! and then off to more fun!!!

Have a FABULOUS day!! 😉

Flapper Friday!!

Good morning!

Can you feel it in the air??? It’s not only Friday – it is FLAPPER FRIDAY!!! A day where I am going to borrow some of the crazy, zany, and SPECTACULARLY FUN spirit of the FLAPPERS!!!!

Tonight my niece, Megan, is coming over for Auntie Night!!! When we get together, we always plan on doing

ALL THINGS GIRLY,

because she lives with 3 BROTHERS!!! She is funny because she has recently started to complain to me that all they ever do now is “boy stuff”! HAHAHA! So AUNTIE DAY TODAY IT IS!!! 😉

We may…

Get all DOLLED UP!!!

Take a few photos!!

Go out on the town!

Do some dancing!!!

Share secrets!

Or maybe we will just hang out and look FABULOUS!!!

I can’t wait!! Whatever we do, I KNOW we will have FUN!!! I love you, Miss Megan!!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS day!!

Hanging with My Peeps!

OK, actually, I hung out with one peep, not plural – like the title of this post implies! 😉 My girlfriend, Dawn and I met this morning to get together for coffee so we can spend some time catching up! We have a lot going on right now, and we don’t always get the chance to keep in touch like we want to, so our coffee dates are IMPERATIVE to our friendship!!!

After coffee we did some walking around downtown and did some window shopping – one of our FAVORITE NATIONAL PASTIMES!!! 😉 She has THE BEST fashion sense so I always have fun perusing the latest clothing wares with her! Of the two of us, I am the decorator, and she is the fashion stylist – that just works for us! She helps me, I help her, and that makes us the most stylish girls on the block – ok, maybe in our minds, but we love each other and have a TON OF FUN!!!

I remember, when we just 12 years old, I would spend the night at her house as often as possible, and would play dress up and I would beg her to do my hair and makeup!! SHE IS JUST A NATURAL!!! 😉

We did happen to go to one of my favorite home accessories shops downtown, Olivia’s. The owner there was very gracious to let me take some pictures of her goods! I could take almost literally one of EVERYTHING and they would fit BEAUTIFULLY in our place!!! I would LOVE it, Jason might go a little into sugar-shock, but I am sure he would let me decorate however makes me happy!!! What a lucky girl I am!!! 😉

Here are those pictures I took at Olivia’s:

Isn’t her place just divine??? I really do LOVE ALL THINGS FRENCH!!! 😉

Anyway, I had so much fun going out with Dawn today, and ALWAYS look forward to the next time!!! I love you, Dawn!!! You are DA BEST!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
