Love Note - Friday 7/20/12 ~ Peace Love and Pretty Things

Boogie Woogie Monday

myflowerclipart.com

I swear, I'm about to burst with excitement!

In a matter of days...well I usually count the nights I'm in this lonely house (2 more nights)...I'll be with my family and friends and of course with Handsome!!!

I'm honored and privileged to be heading home this Thanksgiving weekend to be a support for my friend on her wedding day! Of course, the wonderfullness (yes my word) is I get to see everyone from family, church family, coworkers...

mmmm so nice. Now if I can only contain this excitement to make it through the next two days of classes...

Happy Monday!

Oh! thought for today:

It is the simplest joys that can bring the Heart it’s sweetest pleasures.

Let's reflect on those simple joys...on how blessed we are regardless of the situation!



smooches!

BIGFOOT

OK. so not quite...but how can something that provides such warmth, comfort and just pleasure make my feet look so ugly????????

.

LOL.

quite random...yes I know but I bought these boots on a whim, partly because I was seeking for something comfortable and warm (not necessarily stylish) and of course, inexpensive! these were about $15 bucks on ebay and shipping to Canada was another $10ish so that ended up being very reasonable...especially considering most online stores want me to pay more than $20 for shipping to Canada. so not cool.

I won't be giving these babies up anytime soon, even though they make my feet look like its the size of Shaquille O'Neil. My friend and I were giggling uncontrollably because her first response after cooing over how comfy they were- was "BigFoot"!!!

.

Note: these are NOT UGGS. These are a very cheaply made imitation and I've already seen where the bottom is wearing off quickly. I dont' know what's going to be left and how long its going to last, but I won't be too hurt if they don't last past this winter...it will give me an incentive to actually invest next fall and get a more sturdy pair of warm comfy boots!

I'm out! smooches

Just a thought....

I'm trying to be grateful and patient in this time of change and adjustment...I passed this plaque everyday since I moved here and never seen it 'till this morning. This will be my Saturday meditation as I stop and realize that I am living a blessed life!

smooches!

a touch of randomness

I've been on the fence about this pc vs. mac debate. Everyone who has a mac (and even some who don't) have sung the many praises of this system and can seriously be paid to advertise based on their personal experiences.

One of the suggestions my sister actually gave me was to use safari while on my pc to get 'a taste' in a way...so I did. and I'm digging it. like seriously, it was a slight adjustment but I'm loving safari over internet explorer BUT apparently safari doesn't work at its optimum potential on a windows program...DUH right? lol

and after a successful 2 months of using safari at work, the IT guy comes and deletes it. He thinks it may be part of the problems I've been having using the internet with my computer. :inward groan: its just a means to surf the internet right? what' s the big deal. ugh

can I just get safari back...please? another small pleasure of life ripped away.

The one thing you will learn about me is that I’m obsessive. Like seriously, if I get an idea, I don’t sleep until I go as far as I can with what I have…

On Friday, I stumbled upon this…

from CurlyNikki and decided that I want this. Of course, the chances I find it (or anything similar) here in the Bahamas is slim and if I do find, I’ll probably pay in excess of $20 (US currency). The other option would be to purchase online and pay shipping and additional charges -customs duty- once its shipped here in the Bahamas. Of course, both options are unacceptable since I want a stationary exercise bike, vehicle and a MAC laptop in September once I move for school (in no particular order).

So on to the point, I decided to try and make my own. STOP. That’s a lie. I went out and got the supplies to drop to my mother for her to make..but since it was a Friday and traffic was ridiculous, I sat home and tapped my feet, literally near trembling because I HAD to see the results before I went to sleep. My husband only shakes his head when I get like this because its now Monday and I have yet to find an opportunity to wear either of the pieces I made but I swear I would have died if it wasn’t done on Friday.

So to abort a crisis- I got my sewing kit, which my mom bought for me a month before the wedding…and got to stitching.

Here are the results:
