This is a mish mash of stuff. I take pictures one after the other and then don't get around to posting so here goes.....
You know I'm enjoying these fall months looking forward to winter. But I've had to dig out my capri pants and flip flops again. It was WARM here the past few days. I know, I know winter is coming and there will be no flip flops. Instead I'll be wearing these......
Hunka bought these for me. lolol!!! Don't be jealous now. You know there K- A -UTE!!
Let me seeee what else I must share with you. Oh yeaaaa Miss Anna I do not like to disappoint you so....... Here's my fire house trip. This is my afternoon class. I was lucky enough to go twice that day. The second time I was the only teacher going. A little one on one with Mr. Hot man I mean Fireman!!
Do ya just love a man in a uniform?? And I loved when he talked with that mask on. I'm just sayin!!!! FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look!!! Bambi was waiting for me when I got home about a week ago. My new pet. Madeline's not so crazy about my new pet. But I think she's beautiful.
Can you smell it?? That new car smell?? Can you believe hunka even let me in that thing?? Hey, hey I wasn't driving when I totaled it. Ok I didn't total it the young kid did. We went foreign this time. Tired of the crap you get when you buy an American car and things go wrong. Hunka has never bought a foreign car in his 60 plus years. Ooops did I say 60??? PLUS??? Shhhhhhh
Now can YOU sleep like that?? I'm gonna try it tonight. After I take my Ambien of course.
That looks much more comfy. Can you see hunka's snake and skull back there? MEN!!
Check out the different colors in my backyard a week ago. Is that pretty or what? I LOVE IT!!! But.............I do not love all those leaves that are knee deep in our yard.
This is wayyyyy down behind our yard. Yes it's all ours but do we go in there?? Not without my boots on. lolol
Went out with a couple high school friends for margaritas last week. Jeanne and Kathy still look just like they did in school. Can ya dig that red/yellow wall?? whoa!!
Kathy blended in with that wall. Yes this was AFTER the drinks.
Kitchen update!!! Ok let's NOT talk about the kitchen. I'm trying to stay calm. Have you ever tried to stay calm while suffering from menopause?? I rest my case. Ok those little shelfs are going. I think I said before I did not put those in. We decided on a paint color. It's a light beige. A little different shade from the cabinets. Lights in...........lights on!! Back-splash was done but..........wrong color. Now it's about to be ripped out. I almost cried when I walked in last week and saw it. I want these people out of my house!!! NOW!!
I do love my new lights. They are alike but the one above the stove is HUGE the other one is a smaller one. Pottery barn clearance. I've got little shades to put on each light once there done with all the sanding.
Ok, that's it for tonight. Sorry I've been gone soo long. Kathy came looking for me. So I thought I should make an appearance.
I want to wish my friends Nancy and Tammythe happiest of birthdays. Yesterday was their day. I finally got the packages out on time and they received in time!!! YEAH!!! I was sad that I wasn't there to celebrate with them. I miss my friends very much. Yes these are photo's from before I left. :-( I'm still waiting on visitors!! Wonder who's gonna be first??? I think I know but I'm not sayin.
Happy belated birthday my friends. I love you!!
You are as bad as I am about emptying your camera..

Can you believe it's November already? Thanks for the fireman shot...er, hot shot! And your backyard looks like mine did. I spent ALL weekend out there -- get your butt out there and suffer like I did!

What is it about firemen? I spent the weekend with my cousins, and we came across some firemen and made the same comment. It must be the uniforms, the hero aspect and the general cuteness!

Not surprised you had fun at the firehouse!
isn't the fall colors amazing?
when the kitchen is done and they are all gone you will forget all these crazy things that happen during a renovation!
The kitchen is looking amazing.....
have to ask why isn't the new car RED?

Oh and I meant to say after seeing your fire station field trip I'm questioning your motives for teaching the little ones lololol!!!! That's a pretty sneaky way to get yourself a tour.....:)

Sharon, your kitchen is looking soooo good! I know it's been a hassle but it will all be worth it in the end!! Those PB light fixtures are gorgeous!
Love the polka dot boots. Come winter, though, you'll need bona fide SNOW boots, that'll keep your tootsies warm. This comin' from Syracuse, mind you! I get mine at Lands' End! :-)

Fab footwear!! Cool fieldtrip/firemen!! Kitchen is looking good...hate it that you have had ISSUES but they will all work out...hopefully by Turkey Day..tee hee! At least you still have your sense of humor and no loaded weapons (MENopause, you know)!!

Hi, I enjoy reading your blog. What is the name of the Pottery Barn chandelier that you are using in your kitchen? Were they obtained online or locally? Thanks so much!
