It's Time! It's Time!!

 

I can't contain my excitement any longer.....I've 

even blurted it out to strangers in recent days.

My dream is coming true as we speak.

I am getting a white kitchen.

This may be no biggie to you, but believe me, and

you could verify with Branmuffin....I have been 

waiting for years.

There is sumthin' bout a crisp, clean, white kitchen that makes

me squeal!  I don't know what it is, but I am obsessed.

I grew up with white woodwork, and I can't shake my love

affair with white and pops of color....and now my 

surroundings will match my obsessions and my dreams.

A little background....we bought our house about a year and 

a half ago.  Love the house, but it's got dark woodwork and 

builder's paint (tan, neutral) throughout.

I have done my best to add white and pops of color all over

the house...but it wasn't enough.

Men don't get it.  We would have people over and the men

would gush over our woodwork, saying "why would you ever put 

paint over that grain?".  

 I say slap it on!

While I can't say my kitchen will match any of these from my Pinterest

board "Dream Kitchen"...but I will get close!

Here's what my house looks like now....I missed a full "before" picture.

....my house is in shambles, but I could care less, 

dreams are coming true over here.

We actually are doing the whole first level...walls and woodwork.

Then we will move to the second level later this summer

when my painter's schedule slows down.

Here's another room that will be transformed...

....until then....check out the mess!

I gotta know...am I the only one with white woodwork

obsession?

The Best of Everything

I have been noticing the trend of stacking

bracelets....mixing up a bunch,

different styles, different colors....you know

making it all messy and effortless!

My parents have been in Florida for the month,

and my Mom called me from there, all frantic one Saturday morning.

She was out of breath and unsteady.....

...it took me 30 seconds to figure out why.

She was at the store, The Best of Everything.

We don't have them here, but they are all over Florida

and I don't know wherever else.  It's chock full of jewelry and

accessories and that's it! 

She wanted to know what colors and what stuff

I "needed" for Spring.  I ended up sending her an email

with links and ideas...cuz I've got a lot of stuff I "need".

Well, this is what she found.....

And, that's just a few...

.....here's everything she found for me....



and here is Moi, in my own little version

of heaven.....

...I won't ever wear it all at the same time,

...but you can bet I will wear at least 3 or 4 at a time!

The best gift really is, that my parents are home safe and sound.

{well...its really that they signed up to watch our kids

when we are in Mexico...}

Have you checked out her blog yet?

It's almost as good as all the jewelry she bought me.

Have you ever been/bought at Best of Everything?
Do tell...

2012 Oscar Opinions

I only was able to watch the pre-shows.

I will be short and sweet on what I think.

My only disclaimer is this...

If, I don't mention someone's outfit it's cuz I have

nothing nice to say, and my Momma taught me to 

keep my mouth shut if I don't have nice things to say

about others....regardless of the fact that I think if you 

put yourself on t.v. you are kinda askin' for it.

Let's get it started.

Love...don't understand why you were there, 

but, I like your look girl.

You knocked it outta the park, and you

are my #1 for this.

I don't like your posing...it bugs and I am 

glad someone else made fun of it besides me.

{Eat some pizza, puh-lease.}

Beautiful...loved the color, loved your role!

Fantastic..great fit and sparkle!

Go girl!

L.O.V.E....a lot!

Take off the cape and you are perfection!

Branmuffin says you are his new fave and I 

WANT that cuff!

Sandra?!?! My BFF, I don't know

about the dress...and you looked like you got

pumped up with Botox and fillers!  Why???

Eh...like the dress and I heard you

got a good hair vote, but I hated it.

Oops, am I starting to break my rule about nice talk?

I saw the "nip slip"!  

Ask my guests of the evening!  I pointed it out and

knowing J-Lo, she did that on purpose!!

And lastly....

She makes me wanna buy a lot of navy.

Done-zo...now, tell me what you think!
