Hello Friends and Happy April Fool’s Day
This was the last day of my mini vacation and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. I was able to turn off the heat, open the windows and enjoy warm sunshine with a light breeze.

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Today is my last day at work until next Tuesday, the 2nd of April and I am counting down the hours! Looking forward to relaxing but more importantly cleaning out my closets! Getting ready for the 1st Flea Market of the season and will be gathering unused clothes and household items in order to make a little extra cash.
This is my favorite maxi skirt and I will be keeping it because the print can be paired with a variety of tops and shoes, therefore, it will always be a closet staple.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
Yay, today my energy level is high, and I am getting excited about having off next week – I hope to take a day or two and just do nothing! I also plan to use a day to clean out my closets and prepare a large Goodwill donation before the end of the year. Raising a glass to a productive and stress free day – cheers!
Checking for Malik’s school bus – don’t want him to be late for school – lol

How do you like the pattern mixing of the poncho with the top? I used to love wearing Ponchos in High School.

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!! Today it’s casual and comfortable to work wearing jeans and loafers. Saturday I will start my day at the Farmers Market hawking my wears trying to make a little extra cash. Later in the afternoon I will be heading to Dover to meet my cousin at Dover Downs. She is taking a bus trip down from New Rochelle, NY and I hope to turn the little cash into something larger – wish me luck and good fortune!!

Hubby and I have owned a 2-bedroom villa timeshare at Marriott’s Cypress Harbor in Orlando, since 2000. Unfortunately due to numerous circumstances we haven’t been able to take a vacation since 2009. We now have 4 weeks banked which I keep extending in hopes of having the time and finances for a trip to Belize!
If you or someone you know (responsible adult) would be interested in renting a 7 day/6 night villa @ $700 per week, please contact me. This would be a great gift for an Anniversary, Birthday, Graduation or Wedding. The weeks are currently deposited with Interval World and can be used for stays at their resorts as well.
This is an honest listing, you must be of legal age and flexible with your dates. The Guest Certificate would be purchased and sent to you upon receipt of payment into my Paypal account. We will connect via telephone and email when making and confirming arrangements.

This was from our last trip in 2009 – Tayair and Malik were so small!!

Hello my friends, it’s FRI-YAY…FRI-YAY and the last day of summer 2012. It’s bittersweet saying goodbye to summer but all is all it was good filled with fun, food, family and friends. I must admit that I am looking forward to a new season equally filled with fun, food, family and friends – we just got an invite to Thanksgiving Dinner – woot woot!!!
So whatever your plans are for the 1st weekend in fall, whether its hiking; biking; thrifting; shopping; apple picking, Holloween decorating; baking, raking, sleeping; cooking; cleaning; eating or just vegging in front of the tv, I hope it’s fantabulous!!!

On Friday, after Tayair and I left the cemetery we stopped at Spencer’s Bazaar Flea Market and then Rodney Village Shopping Center. There will be a separate post for Spencer’s Bazaar that features unique items made and sold by a high school friend. Our next stop was to the Goodwill store where Gloria once worked before she passed. I walked around for almost 30 minutes and could not find anything, eventually I found a belt for $1.00. Within the shopping center which is really a strip mall there was Beauty Max, a large beauty supply store. Hubby needed new hair clippers and I was looking for a “weekend wig”. After finding a cute FreeTress unit on clearance for $19.99, a lace front, the hair clippers and some nail polish we decided to head home.
As we were leaving I noticed a store called Citi Trends, I had never heard of it but decided to stop in and check it out. The clothing was along the lines of urban gear for the younger crowd, but I found a cute pencil skirt, a cuff bracelet and a spike ring. (posted on Instagram @ablake48). Tayair wasn’t interested in anything but I knew Malik would be, so on Saturday I let him drive us back down to check it out. While he shopped I took time to look around and ended up getting these shoes and dresses. Malik wore the Canvas Lace Ups and watch to school which is probably why he was so anxious on going today.

Purchased this FreeTress Wig (Lyon Girl) for $19.99

Yesterday’s staycation day was planned for dental, orthodontic and doctor appointments but I did manage to get in a little thrifting. I had wanted to go to the Christiana Mall for the Fashion Night Out (FNO) events but it didn’t start until 6:00. Wanting to be home before six I instead stopped at the Salvation Army. Not having been to the Salvation Army since 1996, I noticed a drastic change for the better and will post pics, my thoughts and of course my finds this weekend.
