Ramblings.........






OK, this is a picture of my dining room set.....its the first furniture that the hunk and I bought when we married, we have had it for almost 25 years....it has great memories and sentimental value, lots of fun around this table.......HOWEVER, I have a question....its dated, its pine, and Im not sure if its TOO dated......this is my question.....should I number one, paint it black....number 2, get a new one, or number 3, keep it? I do like it, but is it too country and dated??? I saw one painted black and crate and barrel and it looked really cool, but Im so afraid....

OK, so I went shopping the other day and I scored, see the placemats, I had bought the napkins before Christmas to go with my new fiesta ware, but the placemats, well, they were pricy,Williams Sonoma, so I just went with the napkins and a table runner....omg, can you beleive I founds these for 75% off at thier after christmas sale!!!!!! They arent even Christmas.....what a score!!!!! I also found lots of other awesome stuff, 75% off...AND the best part, nothing was from CHINA!!!!! yeah!!!!!

Heres a pic of my new pieces of Fiesta ware the hunk got me for Christmas, LOVE them!!!!

So, the flower....well, let me share this sad fact with you.....I never go in the house from the front door, always thru the garage...and for the last few months, I havent even been around to the front door, either I was too busy working, or it was raining, or its been windy, or Ive been gone...OR more than likely I have avoided it because I know its a mess....soooooo, this morning I went out front, because it is a gorgeous day and I wanted to check on my poor neglected plants....and I found this beautiful flower among the weeds.....I also found that I still had my little mini HALLOWEEN flag up...omg how sad is that???? So Christmas has come and gone and I had a HALLOWEEN flag up......and people, lots of folks have come to my front door in the last few months, Im mortified!!!!! I just pray it was dark the few times my daughters future in-laws came to visit, and maybe, just maybe they didnt notice?????

So in conclusion, I have decided to check on my front porch more than every 3 months..

OK, the water, smart water, love it......and Im drinking it, and I took my vitamins, and I have not eaten a carb in 4 days......now all I have to do is get my butt out on the path and put one foot in front of the other....

Maybe tonight..........

I love the dining room set just the way it is. It is beautiful, especially the chairs. I love the backs of them. The only thing I would do is somehow hang a rustic lookin wreath off one of hutch doors on top. The room looks great.
