Everybody Panic!

My beloved computer is dead!!! I am lost without it. I'll be making a trip to the Geek Squad in the morning. Cross your fingers that it's only a superficial wound!!!

Musical Monday

This morning the song that came into my head in the shower was Crazy, by Patsy Cline. A song written by a young Willie Nelson. Enjoy.

For more Musical Monday visit Diane or Jori

Frozen

Sometimes when I'm in the middle of a depressive episode, I feel frozen. Overwhelmed by everything, frozen & unable to accomplish anything.

It's the feeling of being lost in a crowd & lonely even with those you love. Hopefully it will pass by tomorrow.

I've Got Rockin' Friends!!!

Hey guys it's me, Mimi! Back safe & sound from the wilds of North Carolina.


After what my lovely friends did, I'm sure that I wasn't terribly missed, but I'm glad to be back! I hope you found out what great blogs my guest bloggers have & stop in to see them often.


Here's a shot of my fam & me at Whaleback waterfall. I had 3 layers of shirts on, so I look even wider than I actually am, but I think all of my boys men look great.



I can't wait to get caught up on all of my blog reading. I'll post more pics of my trip once I get caught up with life!

Vlogemotion!

It's short...I promise!

Thanks again Pam for sharing your Blog Stage & Spot Light with me...it was fun!

If you would like to participate in this VLOG...head on over to Fort Thompson!

An Affair of The Couch

Hello Mimi Fans!

I am thrilled to be guest posting for a blogger that cracks.me.up.

Mimi has been part of SITS for quite sometime, so we have always been friendly.

But, in a moment of decor bliss, we fell in deep bloggy love.

See, I love decor. I love seeing what people do to make their homes and extension of themselves. If you put up a picture of your adorable child, you can bet I'm sneaking a peek in the background.

Apparently, Mimi does too.

A few weeks ago, I posted this picture in regards to Spring:

Mimi left me this comment: "The plants are cute, but I am considering leaving my husband and marrying you for those couches!!!!"

And, with that I knew Mimi was so my people.

So, I thought I'd share a bit more of my Spring decor!

A great way to get ready for Spring is to paint. I decided our master bedroom was in needed of some new bling. I am a HUGE fan of vinyl lettering and designs, as here in SoCal, we can't put anything over our beds that could fall. I saw this chandelier and fell head over heels. The paint color is "contemplation" and it's the perfect shade of blue/grey with a tiny hint of green.

My bedroom is now incredible relaxing and apparently very wrinkled, but whatev.

Now, on to the family room.

Have you seen Wal Mart's new Better Homes & Garden line? I fell in love with these plaid drapes. And, I am a big fan of the letter R- I have picked those up from various places: Home Goods, Anthropology, etc.

The classic iron piece? Hobby Lobby. Sigh. How I miss Hobby Lobby. 

And, to really be fabulous this Spring. You must have one of these:

A big thank you to Mimi for having me!

Magic, Thy Name is Capucine

Hi Mimi's peeps! This is Joy from Joy to the Blog.




Vacationing Pam put me in charge of Tuesday's post, can you believe it?! I was beyond flattered.

So what to post on this lovely blog? What would bring a smile? How could I charm and delight Mimi's readers without actually being Mimi?

"Once Upon A Time," by a little French girl named Capucine, is my answer to this question.

Because of Capucine's internet popularity, her amazing mom sells t-shirts of Capucine's artwork where the proceeds go to a charity she set up to help fund school books for African girls. You'll find a link on her Vimeo site when you click the video.
