Silent Night
Never forget
Day 5
Hackberry Flat in Fredrick, Oklahoma
I know it’s not October anymore but…
I just had to post this pic of my Lil Creature and @melissafleeting and @twofivethreetwo’s Bat Girl and Iron Man!
Days 59-8!
Now is the time everyone is running around like a mad dog trying to get all their gifts together and downing a few shots before driving out to the mall, Walmart, Target, etc. to fight other drivers in the parking lot to find that one prime parking spot before heading inside to fight over the last must have toy/shoe/purse/gadget of the season. May the Force be with you!
Days 67-60
And by the way we now officially have 2 months before Christmas Day!!! Not time to panic just yet.
Days 79 - 68

80 days…
Nearly a year ago today…ok 1 year and 1 day ago today, I decorated my camera bag like this because I knew my chances of receiving a new one for Christmas were slim no matter how many hints I dropped. Some of you will recognize the runes I stenciled , but let me tell ya decorating my bag was not easy! I started out with some sort of fabric spray paint, but in Texas ,humidity is always a problem and the spray paint came out in globs! I was getting frustrated and then I saw the Sharpie commerical! Duh!! Why didn’t I think of that in the first place. And by the way if you decide to do something similar, Sharpie does not make a white pen; something about the ink pigment. So I went with silver and the Sharpie was much easier to use with the stencils I made. I’ve since graduated to a newer bag that holds more since I added a second lens (I already want another lens I wonder if I’ll get that for Christmas) and is more girly-friendly, don’t get me wrong, I still love this bag and I don’t plan on giving it away or selling it, but it’s small and really only fits one lens and my camera so you can see why I needed the upgrade.
So now that we’re nearing the 2 months until Christmas point, how ready are you for the big day? Me? No where near ready!
81 days...
One thing I dislike about the holidays, the clean-up, because inevitably I'm the one that gets to clean it up. Contrary to popular belief I do not enjoy washing dishes! I've even made that a stipulation when we either look for a new house or build a new one, there must be a dishwasher! That is one job I will gladly relinquish.

What Will She Wear Wednesday is Back!!
I’ve started a new job that is the polar opposite of where I worked before. No more jeans and boots here. So for my WWSWW return I give you a brand new outfit.
My top and skirt I purchased at Kohl’s one of my favorite places to shop. I actually bought the outfit using my Kohl’s Cash and it was on sale as well! The skirt and top are by Heart Soul and my shoes are by Michael Kors and yes I did start with the shoes and found the outfit to go with them. The shoes are very comfortable they have a nice heel (I’ve worn higher) and needless to say they are my favorite pair! I am not parting with those suckers anytime soon. I love the color of my top, it’s a pretty turquoise color perfect for someone who is trying to incorporate a color other than pink into her wardrobe. The one thing I don’t like about the top is that it gives me a bit of cleavage, I’m not really a cleavage kind of girl so I may add a button to the front. I was just talking to my BTFF about how I really don’t wear dresses, skirts are as close as I’ll get to wearing a dress I think and it’s taken a while before I felt comfortable enough to wear a skirt, maybe it’s all that time I spent in jeans. I really like this skirt though, it’s cute, but not too girly. Perfect for an office setting.
Now to bring back WWSWW with a bang here is one more picture (this one is for you Suzi)
My Kathy Van Zeeland Croco Club cross-body bag! I love this bag! Oh who am I kidding I love KVZ!! This is a great color for summer and it will transition into the Fall season, unless of course I find another KVZ before Fall and I can sneak it past my hubby. I love the fact that I can carry this bag two different ways: on the shoulder or cross-body. It also has the zip pockets in the front that fit my phone perfectly and a hidden zip pocket in the back. The one thing I don’t like about this bag is that if I carry it on my shoulder it’s difficult to pull out anything from the inside, but if I carry it cross-body it’s easier to pull things out and put them back in the bag with ease.
So there you have it what I wore Wednesday plus the bag I’m carrying.
#Artoosday is back!!

Happy 83rd Birthday Great Grandma
I couldn’t decide what to do for my 100th post, which is why it’s taken me so long to post something. Well here it is. My 7 year old’s great grandma celebrated her 83rd birthday on Sunday. We drove up to Frederick and went to church with her and after church we took her to Pizza Hut (options in Frederick are limited). I love listening to her stories and up until a year ago she was still taking care of her great grandkids! And if any of her great grandkids get out of line while she is watching them she has a fly swatter at the ready!
Our 4th of July
This reminded me of La Push :)
See the tarp and shower curtain?
52nd Wedding Anniversary
I’ve been out of commission for a while (well my laptop anyway), but I finally bit the bullet and got it fixed. 1000 + pictures later I have everything downloaded and I’m ready to blog again! Here’s some photos from my Tia and Tio’s 52 wedding anniversary. Everyone had a great time and it was a family reunion of sorts with everyone coming together to help them celebrate such a special occasion.

An #artoosday good night
It's been a looong day and I nearly forgot it was Tuesday aka Artoosday. Artoo hopes you had a great Memorial Day and remember to support the troops whatever galaxy they may be stationed in!
What Will She Wear Wednesday
Today was definitely one of those days so I wore my trusty Levi's, and a blouse from Walmart made by George, my shoes are by Villager a Liz Claiborne Company and I believe I bought them at the Shoe Carnival. My shoes are quite comfortable and I can wear them all day including at the courthouse. So there you have it...what I wore...TODAY! :)

What Will She Wear Wednesday
So here you go what I wore the last Wednesday in April! My blouse is from Kohl's and was a great find at about $5 on clearance! And I love the purple! Trying to move away from pink and I think this is the direction I'm going in. My Levi's jeans of course and my black sandals I bought from the Shoe Carnival a while back. They're not the greatest if i'm going to the courthouse but they are quite cute. ;)
