Musings

CeeCee and Bird gave me the Kiel James Patrick Vickers Bow Bracelet that I’ve been lusting over for eons on Christmas.  Those littles have some good taste!  It’s silk and it’s gorgey and I now want one in every color of the rainbow.

This Minnie bow wristlet is absolutely darling.  Of course, we are still in the phase of carrying a full on backpack into the park.  Maybe one day.  Like when we retire to Celebration, Florida.  (Honey, are you reading this?  I’m not giving up on that.)

Speaking of Disney, I could hardly believe my eyes when this popped up on my Pinterest feed.  Holy moly, Walt Disney World pinned my stuff!!!

How adorable is CeeCee all dolled up on her FIRST BIRTHDAY?????!!!!!!  I could eat.her.up.

Mother sent me this picture of the tutu and onesie she made for the little doll.  Oh my stars, that thing is beyond precious.  I’m seriously hoping she wears it to her soiree next weekend.

John has started studying for his First Communion, and the baby is learning all about baptisms in Sunday school.  They literally squealed when we came out of mass to find these last week, and my heart could have jumped out of my chest when both boys donated from their allowances for the donuts.  We do love our Krispy Kremes around here.

I enjoyed a fabulous girls night out with besties E, N and C last weekend.  I told y’all I was going to see my oldest friends more in 2014.  So far so good!!  We even have two more dates on the calendar.

Y’all, I am running jogging wogging (I’ve been told this is a cross between a jog and a walk) a 5k next month.  Me.  It’s part of a 20 year reunion celebration with a few of my oldest and dearest friends.  Let’s just say that if I were a bumper sticker person I would totally have this plastered on the back of my Jeep.  I’m hoping that whole couch to 5k thing is truly get-off-my-couch-run-5-k.  Y’all be praying for me.

My last little nugget is a long story that I will try to make short.  (If you ever talk to me in real life, you’ll recognize what a real challenge this is for me.)  I was driving down I-75 last week when I kept noticing this little white car repeatedly pulling up next to me.  I finally looked over when I saw the man was frantically waving at me.  And other than his white shoulder length hair, he was naked as a jay bird.  As in no clothes.  Zero. Zip. Zilch.  My car sits up pretty high and his was pretty low and I just had a prime viewing spot for an image that is probably forever and regretfully seared on my brain.  I immediately called Honey, who asked 1) if I got a picture (ewwww…what is wrong with him?), 2) if I got his tag (um, no. my good sense went right out the window.  literally.), and 3)  if I called 911 first (again, no.  I wasn’t sure if it was a real emergency, other than my eyeballs being singed by the sight.).  I’m going to go back to my old ways of avoiding the highway STAT.

Have a great long weekend, y’all!
xoxo

The Napkins

I finally bit the bullet and had a set of sixteen hemstitched pure linen napkins done with my custom monogram from Number Four Eleven. I hemmed and hawed over what color combination to do and ended up choosing white napkins with just a hint of cream and matching thread for the monogram.  They were a… Read More

Sunday Supper {Minestrone + Marshmallows}

Last Sunday we were embarking on some record cold days and Ina Garten’s Winter Minestrone and Garlic Bruchetta were absolutely divine fare for our Sunday Supper!  The recipes came out of her Foolproof cookbook that I received for Christmas. For desert on such a wintery night, I opted for hot chocolate with homemade vanilla marshmallows. … Read More
