Goodwill Saturday Sale

Hello Friends and Happy Monday, I trust you all had a wonderful weekend!

If you read my post on Saturday you know I went to Goodwill for their annual 50% off sale and it was like a department store’s Grand Opening.  The place was PACKED, there were long lines waiting for the dressing rooms, people pushing full carts of clothing, laughter and excitement when new items with tags were found and clerks rolling out full racks every 5 minutes, it was an amazing sight to see.  Although I had only planned to go to Middletown, I kinda sorta wished I had also driven down to Smyrna and Dover.

I did however go with the purpose of getting an “I Love Thrifting” t-shirt, which Goodwill introduced earlier this month for $12.00.  I have never ever purchased an item at Goodwill for that much, but the $12 cost for t-shirt is supporting a worthy cause and I am a proud Goodwill VIP who loves to thrift!

I was also intent on finding clothing for the Fall because I have more than enough shorts, tanks and skirts for the summer season which is rapidly coming to an end.  I thrifted a dress, 2 tops, a pair of culottes and two maxi skirts all for under $14.00 – #winning

Saturday's 60th Birthday Bash

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, the weather was simply gorgeous in Delaware despite a few intermittent rain drops.  Saturday I spent most of the morning in my son’s closet gathering clothes to be donated to the Cancer Federation. He doesn’t outgrow his clothes as quickly as his younger brother, but I was able to find enough to fill two large bags.

Saturday evening hubby and I attended a celebration in honor of his friend’s 60th birthday. Hollywood is a long time friend and is the lead singer of Hollywood And The Final Kutt Band.  They have played all over Delaware and can be seen next at the World Cafe Live in Wilmington on September 5th.

OOTD – Gazebo in Glasgow

Hello Friends, I hope you had a wonderful Saturday!

The weather here was absolutely GORGEOUS and like almost everyone else in town we spent most of the day outdoors.  My son and I had a few errands to run which included a stop at Rugged Wearhouse in Glasgow.  There’s a gazebo behind one of the medical centers with a lake (and a Home Depot) in the background which made for a good spot to take pictures.

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 – Boho Saturday

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you are having a pleasant day.

I was up early this morning after a late night of house cleaning but it felt good to wake up without chores and the ability to have a leisurely breakfast with my men.  I do however, need to get into my closet to remove the avalanche of clothes currently on the floor.  Today’s outfit is a pair of jeans that were altered to give it a Boho look, which was a DIY project that was posted here in March.

OOTD – Son said, "what?" Saturday

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you had an enjoyable day.

I am sitting at the kitchen table sipping Ginger tea trying to accept the fact that son #2 is no longer my baby.  He and I had planned to go to Best Buy to purchase Dragon Speak software and an external DVD drive for his Notebook.  I asked him to take a few shots before leaving and as he reluctantly did, he informed me that we had to be home by 4:00 because his “girlfriend” was coming over.  “Girlfriend…girlfriend…did he say girlfriend?”

January 2013 013

I was all smiles as he hadn’t told me yet

January 2013 015 Huh, what did he just say?

Don’t get me wrong, he is 16 and has had crushes on girls before but this was going to be the first time I was actually going to meet “his girlfriend”, the first time a girl was coming to the house.  I know…I know…but I’m gonna need something stronger than this tea!

January 2013 021 And he knows that if he doesn’t do the right thing, these will be up his butt!

January 2013 017 Just grin and bear it…..

OOTD – Sunny Saturday

Hello friends and Happy Saturday – December 1st – wow where did November go?  Today was a beautiful, warm and sunny day made even brighter with a visit from my girlfriend Weyata and her pretty little ladies – Ashleigh, Rochelle, Hannah and Maggie.  It had been such a long time since I last saw my twin “nieces”, Ashleigh and Rochelle, I couldn’t get over how big they had gotten.  I still remember getting the call from Weyata at 2 in the morning to get to the hospital for their birth, they are now two lovely young ladies.  They also have two more sisters Hannah who is a hoot, with a big personality and Maggie, who definitely is the “baby of the bunch” and makes sure everyone knows it.

My household chores were done before they arrived so after they left I had time to get to the nail salon.
