With my son’s graduation right around the corner on the 22nd of May it’s time to get some yard and house work done which will begin in earnest tomorrow.  

Tonight I begin the income taxes and no, I didn’t start them last Friday but now I have hit the deadline wall!

However, before I begin, let’s get this party started by introducing the Featured Bloggers

Weekend Wind-Down Party

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Welcome to the Weekend Wind-Down Party (#WWDParty)

WWDPARTY BUTTON

I am definitely glad to see this week end because between hubby’s hospitalization and my stomach virus this has definitely been a heck of a week. I am glad for the weekend even though I need to start working on my 2013 income taxes, yes, I said, “start”.  I don’t know where the time went but it snuck up on me too quickly this year.  turbo tax

I finally got a chance to check out everyone’s posts Tuesday night and needless to say, if my stomach wasn’t messed up, I would have been drooling over some of those decadent desserts!  

Congratulations to this week’s Featured Bloggers

Weekend Wind-Down Party #10

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay

This has been a week of highs and lows and I am not even going to talk about the zany weather.  Life is so very fragile, I am asking each of you to tightly hug and tell someone that you love them tonight before the clock strikes midnight!  I also want to say, “thank you” for being part of my life, I will probably need to borrow some of your strength as time goes on…but we’ll talk about that later, in the meantime. please say an extra prayer for the “Blake Family”.

Can you believe that this is the 10th Weekend Wind-Down Party?  It has been so much fun, reading, sharing and laughing at all the wonderful posts each week.

BTW – this is the last weekend to enter to win the $50 Gift Certificate to Midnight Velvet!

Goodwill Deals of the Week

Hello Friends and Happy Tax Day 2013!

I hope you have completed and submitted your taxes and maybe got a refund.  Ours were completed last week and thanks in part to the numerous Goodwill donations throughout the year we got a little tax break.

As much as much I love donating to GW Boutiques, thrifting there is much more enjoyable.  Last Sunday I went to Goodwill in Middletown, which by the way has been reorganized and looks great.  I thrifted a skirt, 2 tops and a pair of new floral jeans for $20.25, and submitted these photos for their Macklemore “Pop The Tag” contest.

Then on Thursday I went to GW Boutique on Concord Pike and thrifted these tops and skirts for $3.75 each and a Kate Spade purse for $4.00.  I’m going to assume it’s a designer-inspired purse and if you know how I can determine that, please let me know.

OOTD – Polka Dots Pink Suede and Pearls

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday

This was my casual First Friday attire – Polka Dots, Pink Suede and “Pearls”.  The pink glitter earrings were gifted last year from a jewelry company, SweetLikeCake.com however, I could no longer find them online.

I hope you have a good day, I’m off to do my Saturday chores and looking forward to watching Saturday Night Live tonight, Kevin Hart is hosting and it’s going to be HILARIOUS!!!  They should have booked Robin Thicke as the musical guest with surprise appearances by JB SmoothBoris Kodjoe and Nick Cannon – it would be a Real Husbands of Hollywood special.

OOTD – March One

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-YAY!

The first day of March…another day the Lord hath made…the first weekend of the month…it’s all good in the neighborhood!

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend?  Me not so much, going to Home Depot or Lowes with hubby in search of a replacement kitchen sink faucet, (finally stopping a water leak), then doing our income taxes – Woohoo lucky lucky me!

Well at least I had fun yesterday at The Money School’s Awards Luncheon where I met some great people including Governor Markell.  The Money School provides some wonderful free programs in the state and it was nice to see them recognize people who help in this effort, I can’t wait to post the details.
