Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Today’s titled post; “Broken Boot Heel” makes me wonder why I bought these boots in the first place. I like the color but am no longer excited about them nor do I think they are cute. Perhaps if I had worn them with long pants or a maxi skirt? Hmm…well, I’m wearing them today but will probably donate to Goodwill before the end of the season.
What do think?

Hello Friends and Happy Monday, 15 days until Christmas and the 7th day of Hanukkah 2012.
Today is one of those, “jump back into bed pull the covers over your head” type of days. It’s cold, damp and dreary, but it’s also another day the Lord has kept us so I’ll rejoice and be glad in it. However, the dreary weather is cause for my dreary outfit including the sensible shoes.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
I hope your day is going well and that plans for the weekend are in full gear – enjoy! My mother-in-law is doing well and I thank you for all your prayers. Tonight the boys and I will be visiting taking a small table-top Christmas Tree to brighten up the room and raise her spirits. All week I have been psyching myself up to start decorating and have decided that tomorrow is the day, oh Lord. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like decorating for the holidays, it just getting motivated to start because I HAVE TOO DAMN MUCH. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen pics of just a few bins of Christmas decorations that are in my basement’s crawlspace. When my sons were younger, they were all gung-ho and couldn’t wait to help – now it’s like pulling teeth and hubby is a Muslim so he only helps to put the boxes away, the majority of the work falls on me. The older I get the more I understand why people paid others to decorate their homes, remember this episode from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”?
It’s not as cold as I expected but there’s a cold rain falling so I bundled up with a scarf for casual Friday.

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope your day is proceeding according to plans.
Today we are experiencing more unseasonably warm weather but the temps are expected to plummet tonight with a cold blast of winter winds. This weekend I’ll sort through my “bin o sweaters” to determine which ones I’ll kept and which ones to donate. I am not looking forward to the cold weather ahead but it’s the price we pay for living on the east coast.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday
It’s a warm December day in the Delaware Valley and I hope it’s the same “in your neck of the woods” – I love Al Roker! Saturday my girlfriend told me about her daily Zumba workout so last night I pulled up some YouTube videos and tried it. Man oh man it was an awesome workout, I loved it and will definitely try it every night to fight off these excess lbs that have attached themselves to my body!
Today’s outfit is almost totally thrifted, the blouse, skirt and shoes were all thrifted from Goodwill
Reversible Two-Tone Belt – Avon // – Necklace & Earring Set – Jewelrymax.net // Watch – Joan Rivers Collection via QVC outlet
This afternoon, I may pull out my sneakers from under my desk and go for a brisk walk.

Hello friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope you are having a productive and stress free day. Last Saturday at GW Boutique aka Goodwill there was a 50% off all clothing sale. I had thrifted the day before on Black Friday and saw a jacket that I liked, however, didn’t want to pay $8.00. I decided to wait and if it was there the next day it was meant to be, it was as well as a few other items that are perfect to wear to work.
Cyber Generation Pleather Studded Jacket – $4.00
Jones New York blouse – white with gold thread, Chinese collar – $1.88
blurry pic of Alyn Paige Skirt – Oxblood, new with tags – $1.88
$3.76 outfit
now it’s a $7.76 outfit
Jones New York Oxblood (Burgundy) Blazer – $1.88
Dressbarn Pink Blouse with Chinese collar – $1.88
$3.76 outfit
Just added a scarf from my closet

Hello friends and happy Saturday, “Shop Small Business Saturday” which is a wonderful event to promote and support local businesses during the holiday season. Before shopping locally in Middletown I had to pick up my new glasses from Halpern Eye Care and was excited to get them. When I went in for my annual appointment I spent well over an hour trying on different frames to find just the right ones and I think this time I did! I chose a sunglasses frame by the Guess brand and they fit my face just as I wanted them too. It didn’t hurt that the case is a leopard print although it’s large and bulky.
The winter weather is knocking on the back door so I had to break out the bin of sweaters, this one belonged to my sister and is one of my favorites. I love these fingerless gloves which were purchased several years ago from Kmart. Jeans and purse were thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill), scarf purchased from “The Bag Lady” Home Purse Party, boots are closet staples, earrings from Rugged Wearhouse and XOXO Sunnies were won in a Penny Chic contest.
I hope you have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you all had a blessed day and are now relaxing comfortably in warmth and gratitude. I pray for all who are without the basics and that are suffering from any misfortune. God has blessed me and my family and for that I am truly thankful.
This year I made a small meal consisting of an 8 lb. turkey, collard greens, sweet potato casserole, and mac and cheese. My mother-in-law was transferred to Heartland Hospice so hubby spent the day with her, the boys and I just grabbed a plate and sat at the table. This was only the 2nd time since the death of my grandmother that I didn’t set the dining room table, but it didn’t take away from the spirit of the day.
Dinner is done and now I am plopped on the sofa, hubby and son went to Walmart for the 10:00 sale, to get a 40″ TV. He just called, they are giving out 98 tickets and there are approximately 60 people in line. They are inside waiting, hubby in his stadium chair so we may be getting a new tv tonight – yay! I may drive down to capture a few pictures, oops no can do (Barefoot).

God continues to rain down his blessings!
