Time to visit a flea market?

by

I want to do something different this weekend. I’ve been so bored lately!

One thing I was thinking about was that I haven’t been to a flea market in ages. Now, I don’t think that I’ve ever really been to one in the winter time, but I know that there are some indoor ones in this area that I could check out.

I love looking at antique furniture like a roll top desk or a beautiful chair, or delicate china or what I consider odd or outdated kitchen tools and appliances.

I’ve been known to buy beat up pieces of furniture only to refinish them and turn them into beautiful looking pieces. Perhaps if I were to go to a flea market this weekend I could find a “project” to keep me busy for a while.

Do you like going to flea markets and or buying old furniture to refinish it?





January just blew by didn’t it?

by

Wow, it’s hard to believe that January is almost over isn’t it? This month seems to have gone by so quickly or so it seems. At the beginning of this month I never would have thought that it would have felt like this month would have flown by like this as I was (and still am) extremely stressed but I’ve kept myself busy and the month is almost over.

Before we know it, it will be Valentines day .. and it’s a Leap year this year too!

Speaking of Valentines .. one of my nieces called me this weekend and she was talking to me about how she was searching for the perfect valentines day gifts for bf Dan.I don’t know him very well so I could only offer a few suggestions. I did point her towards a few good online sites that might give her some ideas too.

Are you looking forward to Valentines? Do you buy gifts?

Need to get away for a while

by

I would love nothing more than to get away for a while. I’ve been under quite a bit of stress in the last few months and I think I need to just take a few weeks to myself if I can.


Lucky for me I’ve had a few invites from people for places to stay for a while if I want to get away. Two of my brothers have offered their homes up to me and a friend in Florida just offered to let me stay with her for a while too.

I have to say the Florida getaway sounds like it would be the most fun. Especially since my friend and I talked about looking into staying at one of the Disney World hotels for a few days as well during my visit. Of course that getaway would be the most expensive for me and the situation I’m in doesn’t leave me with much money it seems – so staying with one of my brothers if I need to get away is probably what I’ll end up doing.

Still figuring out what to do for Christmas

by

I’m still not sure what I’m doing for Christmas this year. My husband might be working Christmas eve and Christmas evening so I might be pretty much on my own. I’ve been on my own a lot lately so I guess I’m getting used to that – but still – on such a major holiday – not so nice.

If my husband ends up working I might end up going over to my sisters. She going to have her boyfriend, daughter and son over Christmas eve and I’m sure some of them will be around Christmas day as well. I need to see all of them at some point anyway as I have to get their gifts to them. I found some great stuff for each of them, but I think my nephew might like his gift best. He’s quite sport and I found a speedglas helmet for him that he’s going to love or that I think he’ll love. We’ll see.

What are your plans for the holidays – are you on your own, doing something at your home or going to a friends or a member of your families for the holidays?

My Christmas Dog

by

I don’t usually dress up my dog – not on holidays or at any time of year, but for some reason I saw those cute red antlers in a pet store and I decided that I wanted my Lab to have them.

So how do you like my Christmas dog?

She actually seemed to like wearing the antlers – well as long as they were behind her ears. She even picked them up and carried them around which really surprised me. I haven’t taken her out wearing them – I really only bought the antlers to take pictures of her wearing them, but maybe we’ll do a walk around the neighborhood on Christmas eve or Christmas day with the antlers on.
