Finally Friday!

TGIF - Finally Friday!  Yippee!

I don't know about you, but this has seemed like a long week!

Maybe the anticipation of a short week and Black Friday 

next week has me a little antsy!

How bout you?
I know this highschooler is very, very happy at the thought

of a short school week!

Has this happened to you?
Not sure if it is due to the upcoming holidays or what, but
lately it seems that the marketing geniuses have my number!

So far this week, I've ordered or wanted to order

a Simply Fit Board (yes, I will be svelte and fit by Christmas!),

a stocking cap with a light on it for morning or nighttime walks

AND . . . some crazy panties called

Skinny 360 panties that are supposed to make a gal feel great and look slim and trim!
What the what??!

The women wearing them on FB ads say they are 

AMAAAZING!
Plus, I just received an ad for botox from my local medical
provider -- a look in the mirror and I'm saying, sign me up!
While I try to avoid at least some of these temptations,
let's change the subject, shall we?

In other weekend news, Miss M and I are putting on

our crafting aprons and getting busy
with some holiday projects.

Photo from world wide web, but this is basically my machine! Isn't it so cute!

This most adorable vintage sewing machine was

passed down to me by my Great-Aunt Carrie!  It needed a little tune-up

but is now purring like a kitten.

Stay tuned!

We are also learning machine embroidery on this cool machine!
Perhaps we will have some items to show you next week, but
then again, we may begin our holiday shopping early!

We're just really happy that it is finally Friday!
Enjoy your weekend and do some shopping! :)

TGIF and a Sneak Peak of Spring

Today we are celebrating that it is Friday . . . at last!

And

that we are having the most wonderful warm

weather sneak peak of Springtime!

2013 - Jumping for Joy!

Last week, I witnessed at least 10 Robins flitting and flying around

Starbucks - a sure sign of early Spring!
I'm certain they were waiting for 

someone to drop a tidbit of a cake-pop!

Do you love those as much as I do??

And this weekend -- we're having temps in

the high 60s for a day or two!

Yippee Skippee!

We can't wait til it's summer and some pool time again!
Yes, I am jumping a bit ahead of myself!

Isn't is just amazing and wonderful what a burst

of warm and sunny weather will do

for your spirits!
Have a super weekend!

It's Friday - TGIF

Yippee - it's Friday!

Just a few random thoughts and updates from me today.

Jane LOVED these very cool works of art in the bear area!

Last Friday - one of of the coldest days we've had

so far, Maddy and I headed to 

the Number 1 zoo in the country -

Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo -

with Catherine and the little kids!

Even though it was cold and windy initially -

we had a great day!

The zoo has plenty of indoor exhibits and that saved

us!  The aquarium there is world-class!

First time that I've ever been in without a thousand other

people!  So cool!

We also saw some favorites  - the Big cats

and the bears!

It was a great outing! 

 Thanks for inviting us to 

tag along Catherine!

And, I leave you with this --

 Cboo at Halloween! :)

What you are doing this weekend?

Make it a fun one!
