Lazy Blogger!

I am probably the laziest blogger around! We have had a busy month, with a college graduation (third son) and our daughter finishing her 2nd year at school. Now, all of their stuff has surfaced back here, and they think the living room is code for storage!!! I am about to scream!! Since the economy is so bad, college graduate is going to work at summer camp and then head to Ethiopia to do mission work. Daughter is home until July, then going to study in Brighton, England. What happened to summer jobs at the drug store and trips to the beach?? Seriously, I grew up in an Air Force family, and it's nice to see my children have the travel bug!
Daughter and I did some shopping last week and we are in love with Hobo wallets!! She got one and now all I can do is think about getting one myself! They are so useful, and come in pink!!
I am in the middle of making new panels for our den. We are having a dear friend's bridemaids luncheon next Friday. Must get busy!!
As Memorial Day comes and goes, please thank the men and women who protect us--like my daddy did! Thanks Daddy!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We had an awesome weekend, complete with a beautiful worship service yesterday. The music was beautiful! We had everyone home, but #1 son, who couldn't get away. #2 son's birthday was yesterday (25!!), and we took him and his bestest out for dinner Saturday night. It is so great to see these children (as I call them) grow up!! Bugster had to sing at her for-pay church job, so she came home later in the afternoon! She is home today, so we are going shopping before she has to go back to school. All in all, a great weekend. I now need to clean, clean, clean. I also need to start cooking, as I have about forgotten how!! I love the Annie's Eats blog, she has the best recipes! Have a great day!

Manic Monday!!!

I do wish it would clear up! It has been raining since Friday. We need it, but COLD AND RAIN?? Come on, it is almost Spring. Funny thing happened yesterday at church. I had to make a presentation, looking for volunteers. Wore a cute Lilly shift (hot pink and black print-like Hopsy) with a turtleneck and tights. I looked very cute if I do say so myself. The thinking was: if I looked cute and excited, how could the congregation not be excited to join my committee! Well, after worship, someone asked me if I had on an APRON!!! This is in the South, land of Lilly!! oh, well, you can't account for good taste!
I am off to Target!

80 Degrees to Snow!!!

We have been down in St. John all week soaking up the sun and relaxing. Leaving tomorrow and just saw it will be snowing when we get home!! Seriously, snow in the South, in March!! So much for global warming!

Happy February!

I must admit, I am not a very committed blogger! But, I faithfully read other blogs. I especially enjoy Monograms and Manicures, Clemsongirl and the Coach, and all of the empty nesters out there!

With the economy what it is, I am trying to be frugal, but the new Lilly things are calling my name!!! My daughter and I both love Lilly. We are going to a meeting next week, and one particular cute dress may just have to go with me!!

I have been purging our house. We have so much and could do without alot of it. It feels good to clean out and declutter everything.

We had a nice Valentines Day- no gifts, just cards and a nice dinner out!

FREEZING!

It is freezing here! We woke up to a beautiful snow yesterday! I love snow days, even if the children are all gone! It is so nice not to HAVE to do anything. I read all day and watched tv. No matter what your political party, it is an exciting time for our country.

Still looking for a desk for my sewing room. Looking is half the fun!

Welcome 2009!!!

2009 came in with a bang. I chaired the Debutante Ball, on the 3rd, and could tell New Year's Eve that I was coming down with a wicked cold. As they say, the show must go on!!! I managed to hold it together until Sunday, and then became really sick. It is just now starting to clear up! So, I lost a whole week of cleaning up after Christmas! Our house is a wreck, not to mention the comings and goings of 4 adult children! I have major cleaning to do!! The good news is that son #2 moved into his own condo over the weekend! We have loved having him here this last year, but I know he was ready for his own place! Now we have to get used to an empty nest all over again!

I spent the better part of yesterday cleaning out my sewing room! Sweet husband promised me a new sewing table if I could make room for it! Now I can't decide what to get! I need something that will hold a sewing machine and embroidery machine! I keep looking at the Pottery Barn office furniture? It looks so nice, but don't know if it will be functional! I am open for suggestions on tables!!

I am in a preppy swap!! Hopsy over at Monograms and Manicures is hosting! I need to get out and start looking for surprises!
