Mani Pedi

The winter months are hard on my hands and my feet. Thankfully, I don’t ever wear shoes in the winter that show my toes. So I don’t bother with a pedicure unless I am going out to a party or for a special occasion. But now that the weather is getting warmer, I need to spend a couple hours with my manicurist and get back on track. Maybe I can do that on Saturday.

Love Me Some Willie

There are very few artists or musicians who have an entire catalogue of stuff that I like. Willie Nelson has never sang a bad song. I’ve been a fan since the 1970’s and hope to have a complete collection of his songs by the end of this year.

A Good Book

It’s been ages since I read a good book. I just got away from even looking at books in the store.

I think I will go to a bookstore this weekend and take a look around. I miss the total escape into a good story.

New Cushion

The outdoor swing that I bought last year has a cushion that is not only incredibly dirty from being outside in the weather and elements all year, but now it has little specks of mildew all over it. It is too big to fit into my washing machine and the cover does not come off – there is no zipper anywhere. So I guess I am supposed to just toss it out and replace it. Except I cannot find any replacement cushions anywhere for a three person swing. At this point I don’t even care what color or pattern is on the fabric. I just need a cushion that fit my swing so I can sit on it and watch the cars drive by.

I Run to the Border on Occasion

The town that I live in now has just about every fast food restaurant that you could think of and new family restaurants are popping up left and right, no wonder we are turning into such an obese society with food at each and every street corner and leading you to their temptations that are advertised so delightfully and appetizing.

One of my favorite fast food place in town is Taco Bell, the food is fast and cheap and they have a drive in window with a decent speaker system that allows you to actually hear and understand what the clerk is saying to you. That is a rarity these days.

Christmas Presents are Fun to Wrap!

Every year the products that come out to make the task of wrapping holiday gifts so much easier. It always amazes me with what they come up with each and every year. I love having lines all ready drawn on the back of most modern time wrapping paper and these hand held paper cutters that are all the rage are totally awesome, glad that I bought one at the Dollar Tree a couple months ago.

I enjoy the whole process of wrapping presents, I’m not all that great at it, but i usually put on Christmas music, light candles, sip on hot chocolate and really try to get into the mood when the time comes to start all the wrapping that needs to be done. I do so love the Christmas Holiday Season!
