Hello Friends and Happy 1st Day of Autumn 2013!
I didn’t get all of my outside chores done yesterday but anticipate a few more warm Indian Summer Saturdays to get them completed. Out and about running a few errands I stopped at Loguello’s Country Market and picked up a few mums but I need to go back next week for more.
In Middletown, Logullos Country Market is a great place to shop for Autumn, Harvest and outdoor Halloween decorations.
They carry a wide selection of seasonal trees and plants, Bales of Hay, Pumpkins and Cemetery Markers.
If you are like me, you enjoy shopping locally verses going to the big box stores for your outdoor plants and decorations. I love the vibrant colors of the Harvest and am looking forward to my favorite and the first official holiday of the season – Thanksgiving!!!
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the transition from Summer to Fall.

Hello Friends, I hope you all had a wonderful and restful long holiday weekend!
Today the weather didn’t cooperate so I didn’t get a chance to sit by the pool, so instead I watched “The Haves and Have Nots” marathon on OWNTV Network and worked on my Blog with next week’s posts.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!
What in the world happened to June – it just flew by without saying “Goodbye” or anything! Before I knew it, it was July and my second month of Nutrisystem foods had arrived before I posted the results on Day 28.
Take a look back, this was me on Nutrisystem – Day 1.
Here I am on Day 39 ….
Notice a difference, not much right? Because I only lost 5 pounds!!!
Now let me explain….there was this LOOONG Holiday weekend….LOTS of wine and NO workouts….
Now I am back on the program, we will be attending a Wedding in August and I want to lose another 5 pounds. I am eating my Nutrisystem meals, doing a little more exercise and there’s no more long holiday weekends so I should be fine…huh, what…oh the wine….nevermind…that is all!
Have a fantastical day – Smooches!

Hello friends
I hope you are enjoying the day and all is good in your neighborhood. I still haven’t decided as to where we will be going to see fireworks. We will either go to Wilmington and see Macy Gray, or downtown Middletown or maybe just stay home and watch WaWa Welcome America featuring Kevin Hart, The Roots, Ne-Yo, Jill Scott, and others.
Where do you go to see 4th of July fireworks?
This is what I wore to work yesterday, how do you like my Red White & (Polka Dot) Blue outfit?
Top – Ross // Jeans – JCPenney
Sandals – Ross // Watch – Avon
Be safe – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
I’ve been MIA due to a snafu with GoDaddy for Web Hosting and the transferring of my domain – things just didn’t go well so I’m back! Today is the end of the work week for me because tomorrow is the HOLIDAY – YAY and we are closed on Friday.
What are your plans for Independence Day? I haven’t made any yet because of the weather, it has been raining since Sunday. I hope the sun will make an appearance at least one day this weekend so I can fire up the grill and lounge poolside.
Tuesday’s outfit was totally thrifted from GW Boutique.
Tank, Belt and Capris – Goodwill
Flats – GW Boutique
Channeling Patty Duke!
If you are heading out today, drive safely and traveling mercies – Smooches!

Are you a Winer – do you like trying new Wines – if so, I want your Wine Winning recipes!
I am not a wine connoisseur nor do I don’t spend a lot for a bottle of wine. I am a sucker for a deal and love fun colorful bottles, and this is where I shop on FriYays after work.
You meet the nicest people at Pockets Discount Liquors
(BTW I don’t know this man but asked if he wanted to be in the pic – lol)
Smirnoff Ice has a new flavor Peach Bellini, although not a wine, it is one my summer favorite drinks
Last weekend I added Peach Bellini Ice to Talenti Alphonso Mango Sorbetto and topped it with Whipped Cream
It looked better than it tasted, which is why I need your help!
Go to my Facebook Page to post a pic of your Winning Wine recipe and it will be featured in the
4th of July Food & Fun Holiday Post.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday
If you are fortunate enough to have an extra day off, I hope you are enjoying it, but if like me you are back to work, I hope you are also enjoying it – at least it’s quiet. Not only is it quiet, but it is raining and dreary unlike the sunshine and warmth of the weekend, it would have been a perfect day to sleep in!
I spent the majority of Saturday, 9 hours to be exact, in my closets sorting through items that I haven’t worn or no longer fit and I still have too many clothes! I will be sending boxes to my girlfriend for her daughters as well as donating to Goodwill.
I am wearing two kloset keepers because first of all I love skirts and secondly, the side embellishments on this top is unique.
Thrifted skirt – GW Boutique
Rocket Dog Shoes – The Shoe Dept
What are your closet keepers?
Linking up today with Two Thirty-Five Designs – come on over and join in on the fun
Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!
