Fickle Food

Since Jeaux is a little busy these days, I’m going to help keep the blog up until she can get back to posting regularly.  I do a lot of online shopping, so I come across plenty of fun products worth writing about.
Most of the tote bags you see in stores are pretty boring, but this one is actually really cute.  I could definitely see Abby going for something like this, especially considering the fact that her Warhol tote bag is about to give out.  I probably should have gotten her something like this for the birthday she celebrated last weekend - but then again, I did give her cash.  She can use that to buy bags, dinner, or even new coffee tables if she feels like it.

OMG! I have been so busy lately! I figured I’d better get some writing in tonight because I’ll be busy moving my sister and her family starting Friday and I’ll be too sore come Sunday! For the past three weeks we’ve been gone virtually every day we haven’t been at work…I’m almost too pooped to whine about it!
I SO need a nice relaxing vacation. I also need to visit my beautician, I noticed this morning I have gray hairs pinging out all over my head.
That reminds me, can anyone clue me into the best wrinkle cream?

Mother’s day is just a week away and this great travel mug may be the perfect gift for all those car-pooling moms for whom “Don’t make me stop this car!” is a standard refrain! This brightly colored ceramic mug measures 5.25 inches by 3.5 by 5.75 inches. The perfect size for those long waits between sports practices and piano lessons. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

And now this; have you ever wished you had your own media room complete with home theater seating?

These fanciful Architectural Lanterns will lend an exotic feel to just about any spot in your home. Imagine bathing next the warm glow of lantern light, use them in the bedroom or on your patio or porch for instant romance. The whimsical lanterns come in three different architectural styles, with beveled glass, Gothic arches and fancy metalwork. I’d have to have all three of these lovely fairy chimneys!

And now this; do you enjoy good wine? Have you ever considered a wine club?

Heh…heh. This delightful copper shark cookie cutter brings out the sadist in me. Place your shark cookie, replete with pearly whites, on a plate alongside these cute little Gingerbread men and startle your guests! Shark cookie cutter measures 6″ by 3″, for a good-sized cookie.
Gingerbread ABC Cookie Cutters, (already been chewed) are made of cast aluminum and each gingerbread man is missing a prominent limb…what fun!

Now this: have you ever wished your car was more sporty? Have you thought about rear spoilers?

My husband just had a birthday and everyone in the family wanted to go together and buy him a nice gift…so what do you suppose he asked for? A weed whacker. Out of thousands of possible gift opportunities he came up with a weed whacker. He very happy with his whacker too. It’s in the garage with his leaf blower and his huge assemblage of tools. He has a tablesaw, band saw, reciprocal saw, circular saw, jig saw and God knows what other kinds of saws…He has a whole slew of drills too, and sanders and grinders and one whole wall of DeWalt tools, they’re the yellow ones, and Makita tools, they’re blue and a couple of tools that are bright green, I have no idea who made them or what they do.

This is the man that makes fun of me for having more than two pairs of shoes.

Some of my fondest memories are of the times spent at my grandparent’s house in the country. As a result, I love the country farmhouse look. When I first saw these decorative gates from Plow & Hearth, they reminded me of the two gates that separated my grandparent’s yard from the pasture! The decorative gates includes three wood and two metal gates. The gates are beautifully distressed, just like at granny’s house, and ooze country farmhouse charm. Hang them in any room in the house, or patio or covered porch, anywhere you’d like a bit of country charm.

Now this message; do you enjoy golfing? Would you like to know more about Callaway golf clubs? If so, here you go!

Wow! Freaky! I was sitting here typing away and suddenly my whole office began to shimmy! The earthquake lasted several seconds, long enough for all of the dogs to run in and hide under my chair. This one was a 4.5.

We were first awakened this morning around four-thirty by a loud boom and a long low rumble, the whole house began shaking and then a bottle of spray starch fell off the ironing board and hit the floor. But thankfully, there was no damage, just a few pictures unrighted. I thought I felt a couple of really minute shivers earlier this morning, though I suppose it could have been a heavy truck, or the wind. I just hope that last shake-up was the last! At any rate, I went around and stabilized all of our breakables just in case!

I recently experienced another scary jolt–my thirty year class reunion is coming up and I’m about thirty pounds overweight! Anyone tried slimquick?

The weekend just flew by and tomorrow the workweek starts again. I accomplished very little today; did some laundry then went to the grocery store, where I nearly died of sticker shock. Everything has gone up along with the gas prices. We’ve also had a lot less shopping options since our Aldi store closed back in early March. They tore our old Aldi building completely down and are building a brand new one.

I saw a new Aldi commercial on TV the other day. Instead of touting their low prices, the spot was all about their unique culinary cuisine…I wonder if Aldi’s brand is pushing for a new image? Recreating the whole franchise? Hope that doesn’t mean they’ll be increasing their prices…

Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE my pets…and I for one am not ashamed to tell the world! This adorable Support Group Tee features some of the best friends a human can have–our pets. In fact, I believe that if everyone had a support group like this, it would be a much happier world! these great sage green Tees are 100% preshrunk cotton, in sizes small to 2XL.

Yeah, I sleep with dogs and I’m proud of it! Cotton tee and capri lounge pants feature a happy-tails print. Pants have an elastic drawstring waist and pom pom fringe. 100% cotton.

Check it out, you can never have too many Papermate pens!
