Happy Weekend.
Thank you all so, so much for your help in choosing kitchen chairs! The NORDMYRA won out by quite a few comments, so I’ve decided to go with them. Tomorrow I’ll be roadtripping it to the IKEA in Frisco, TX (roughly 2 hours in the car each way, so not too bad) and making my purchases. I have my list made, but it always seems to go out the window once I walk in the doors of that blue and yellow wonderland. Inevitably something I wanted lets me down and something else (or ten) catches my eye. Such is the IKEA Gamble!
This Weekend:
• IKEA
• even more packing
• mailing packages to K, K and M
• picking up my $50(!) lawnmower
• laundry, definitely laundry
• grocery shopping for lunches
Happy Weekend to You!

Oh, Audrey.
Everyone has that go to person when they need a little extra something, a little inspiration. And I’m not talking work inspiration. I’m talking life inspiration.
For that, for me, I turn to Miss Audrey Hepburn. If you want an example of style, class, dignity and grace she’s your lady. In fact, she’s the epitome of a lady. A lady who’s been through a lot and has come out the other side all the better for it.
I’d like to imagine that if Audrey and I were gal pals we’d be the sort of pair who would do things like go somewhere for afternoon tea or maybe we’d “lunch” – of course that would have to take place when we weren’t weekending at the lake or going to our book club meetings.
Who’s your go to inspirational figure?

Monday Goodness: Cats Are Not Ponies.
This cracks me up – I love how the cat just sort of resigns himself to the situation. Sort of how I feel some days!
Good Luck making it through yet another Monday…

Happy {Summer Solstice} Weekend.
This Weekend:
• luau party!
• C’s 30th Birthday
• packing
I’m thinking the three things on my schedule are going to more or less take up all of my time over the next two days. I hope you all have a wonderful, fabulous weekend.
Happy Summer!
Happy Weekend!

Put ‘Em Up.
I’ve had this image filed away for months now and every time I chance by it a grin shows up on my face. Their heads are so big and the cub on the left is so oblivious!

Lovely Rain.
It’s the most lovely shade of overcast here this afternoon and looks like it’s about 9:00 at night. If the skies are telling the truth then a bit more rain is in store for us. The forecast is for rain off an on all week which actually makes me happy. I feel more productive when it’s raining because I can’t dream about being outside doing other things!

Monday Goodness: Loch Ness.
This made me smile in spite of my sleep-deprived brain. Too funny.

Happy {Father’s Day} Weekend.
My afternoon is going to be consumed by client meetings, so this is it for the week.
This weekend:
• buy a refrigerator
• find a Father’s Day gift for my step-dad
• buy plane ticket for 10 year HS reunion in September (eek!)
• laundry (ugh)
• and hopefully a little leftover time to sun by the pool – with sunscreen of course!
Happy Friday the 13th!
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Weekend!
PS: Yes, that is me and my paternal figure. Circa 1980!
