I had several coupons that were expiring at the end of the month and my men needed more body wash so I made a quick trip to Walgreens on Monday.

Yesterday I grilled a pineapple using a recipe from the June issue of @allyou magazine. It was a sweet ending to our BBQ meal.

Unfortunately the poison ivy is spreading down my arm and I could not find the clear ointment. Today I am sporting a polka dot arm with my a polka dot dress – what a way to start the summer season!

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Holiday weekend, the unofficial start of summer 2012. My men and I had a nice weekend and I spent most of my time outdoors working in the yard and opening the pool. The temperature was in the low 90’s and I didn’t realize how intense the sun was nor did I see the poison ivy intertwined in the tree branches that I cut. Despite the results of these two oversights I had a great time grilling and spending time outdoors which for me is always relaxing.
It is now tIme to get my mind right in preparation for another short work week which is always more hectic than a regular 5-day week!

We have several pine trees in our backyard that are full of pollen pods which drives me crazy and reeks havoc on my son’s allergies. We also have a very large Magnolia tree that produces only 1 bloom at a time. It was such a tiny tree when we purchased 10+ years ago but it has withstood hurricane winds. I didn’t think it would survive but it has and I patiently wait for the one bloom because it is very fragrant (stinkbugs like it too), but unfortunately the leaves are large and tend to drop in bulk.

During my drive home I listen to WDEL 1150AM and yesterday it was announced that they would be giving away FREE American Flags at various locations throughout the state. This morning heading back home I passed their tent at Arner’s Restaurant on Rt 13 south and because the holiday traffic hadn’t kicked into high gear, I made a U-turn and went back.
Thank you WDEL 1150AM for the Flag and THANK YOU VETS for bravely serving our country!
Happy Memorial Day 2012!

My favorite consignment shop is Charmingly Linda’s and she is having a big Memorial Day Sale, 3 days Everything is 30% off ! Earlier in the week I had stopped in and made a small purchase, and while there saw a pair of espadrilles that I liked but didn’t buy. The next day I read about the sale on her Facebook post and made plans to go back on Thursday.
Linda has racks and racks of awesome designer women’s and men’s clothing, her boutique is warm and inviting and the customers are friendly. After I completed my purchase I stayed a little longer assisting a few others with their selections. For a short time I was a thrift fashion consultant, which was fun and just might become my second career.

Yea, today is my “FRI-YAY” because tomorrow I am off from work for my monthly staycation day. Tayair and I will hit up the DMV early to renew his license and then have his car inspected. I would love to go to the movies but with schools being closed the last thing I want to do is stand in a long line for MIB3, even though I want to see it – I love me some “Big Willy from Philly”!
I spent my lunch hour at Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop for her Memorial Days Blowout Sale and got some great buys that I will post later. While there I assisted a customer in selecting a dress and accessories for a wedding, it was a blast acting as a “fashion consultant”, it just might be my retirement career!
The official start of summer and yet it was another rainy overcast day, but we are blessed to have lived to see another one so the complaining stops here. Have a fan-tab-u-lous day!

No offense to @PennyChic but this prize is much better than the XOXO Sunglasses that I won two weeks ago!!!! The amazing thing is, this is the most I’ve ever won at any given time in my entire life – I better play Powerball this month too!
I started watching Eye Opener on Phl17 about a month ago because it was enjoyable news – an oxymoron, but true. I often wondered if I was too “old” to be watching Marlie Hall, Sean, Danielle, Oliver and Nerissa in the morning as opposed to the anchors on NBC10 and The Today Show, but after seeing Larry Mendte and Rose, I knew I wasn’t because they are older than me – sorry guys! It is refreshing to watch a news program that not only provides the latest local and national news and weather but also info on beauty, fashion, food, drinks of the day, car insurance, techie news, Hollywood fluff, and other good stuff. It has become a family affair with my youngest son watching before he leaves for school and my oldest watching as I leave for work. My morning commute is an hour and a 1/2 of non-stop traffic so the last thing I need is to be in the car in a bad mood, but thanks to Eye Opener that never happens.
I was told that over 3000 people entered last week’s contest so I feel blessed to have been chosen a winner. Every day for a week, right before breakfast when the “word of the day” was given, I would write it down on a post-it note and put in my eyeglass case so that I wouldn’t forget to enter it online – an old lady move that paid off!
Thanks Phl17-TV EyeOpener!!!
