Wednesday Humor

I love cats and it just stands to reason that I would love Lolcats, (funny cat pictures with hilarious captions). I thought for a little humor to day I would share some of my favorites. 

And one of my favorites. 

I gotta be me.....

The more people get to know me, the more they are surprised at what they find. I am not a typical 58 year old granny.

For example, did you know that even though Southern Gospel and Country are my favorite music genres to listen to, I can still be found jamming with Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi or Poison.

Did you know that as much as I am known for my flip flops, my real love is warm, fuzzy socks to wear around the house?

Did you know that even though I love Pepsi and am well known for it being my favorite drink, I mostly drink Mayfield Tru Moo Chocolate Milk when I am home and want something to drink.

Did you know that even though I buy a lot of clothes and bags in dots, stripes or Chevron that almost ever room in my house has a floral theme.

Did you know that even though I love vintage and I am always on the lookout for a good Pyrex find, that when you leave my kitchen I have tea pots, tea cups, or tea for one sets in every room of the house?

Did you know that even though I am an avid reader of romance novels, I still love reading Archie and Richie Rich comic books when I can find them?

Did  you know that even though I get teased about wanting pizza or chicken every time I go out to eat, that my favorite meal in the whole world is a homemade hamburger fried in an iron skillet and covered with American cheese, dill pickles and mustard; served with a side of barbecue potato chips made by Snyder's of Berlin.

Did you know that while Christmas is by far my favorite holiday, I adore anything to do with Halloween.

And last, but not least, I am famous for my love of candy. But nobody knows that my all time favorite snack to have at night is to take Karo dark corn syrup and mix it up really good with soft butter and then dip my biscuits in it. 

So, you don't know me as well as you thought you did, huh?

Weekend Wrap Up

I had a tiring weekend for some reason. I attended my Thirty-One meeting and it was a big success. I was awarded this necklace charm with my favorite word....BELIEVE for achieving the level of Senior Consultant.

Later that afternoon when I was stopping in Walmart, I fell in love with this little towel. Not sure what I will do with it, but I really liked it. 

Sunday at church, my friend, Georgeanna gave me some cute little napkins she found at a vintage store. I love them. 

Sunday the visit choir was marvelous.

After lunch on Sunday, I felt bad so I laid down and slept 3 hours. Then I woke up, fixed supper, ate and cleaned up the mess. Then I laid on the couch and slept a couple more hours. I was exhausted. I did go to work today, but as I am sitting here typing this evening, I feel my eyes watering and my head starting to hurt. I hope I am not getting sick. 

Sunday Songs

Can't wait for 10:30 this morning to hear this awesome choir at our church. I hope they sing Happy Day. I love that song and love the way they do it.

Happy Saturday

I am going to have to check the thermostat a little closer when I go to bed at night. I woke up and it was so cold that I turned the fireplace on.

I attended a Jamberry Nails Facebook party last night. I am thinking about getting a set. Here are some I liked. What are your thoughts? I love all kinds of nail colors, but I have forever and will always love red.

I also like this shade...even though I am not sure what you call it. But I do like it.

And if it is pink and it sparkles, I will love it. 

I have been looking everywhere for Chrome nail polish and can't find it so I am pretty sure I will end up buying this set simply because it is a color I can't find in nail polish.

I am heading out this morning to my Better Together meeting with my Thirty-One sisters. Can't wait to see what new info and training we get today.

I made brownie muffins and peanut butter cookie muffins with grated Hershey's Kisses on top.

I have to stop at the store and get some orange sherbet, orange pineapple juice and 7-Up so I can make my favorite punch as well.

I get to do the devotion at our meeting today. I picked as my verse Ecclesiastes 4:9 - Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. (NIV). I picked this verse because the theme of our meeting is being better together.

Tomorrow morning we won't have Children's Church so I get a break from thinking up a craft for the week. We are having a guest concert by the Wilmington Celebration Choir. They are in town for a concert performance with the Bill Gaither Trio tonight so they are coming to sing for us tomorrow morning. (The choir is, not the Gaither's.)

It's going to be a busy, fun weekend.

A little online "window shopping"

This has been a strange summer. I have only been to about 4 or 5 yard sales. I used to go to that many in one Saturday several times a summer. No one has been having any good ones around here this year. I just checked Craig's List and there are a lot of nice finds in the garage sale pics, but none that are close enough to me to make it worth the drive. But I did save a few pictures of things that would catch my eye if I went to their sales. 

I love tall, slender figurines. This are especially pretty.

I would love this little chair and to paint it brick red or country blue.

This is a gorgeous hutch. I bet it will go at the estate sale for a gorgeous price.

Oh wow. This is in great shape for its age.

I would love this set for my front porch.

These old machinists wooden tool boxes would be perfect for my plastic canvas patterns and various other craft supplies.

I see these in almost every antique store around here. I don't love them but they are growing on me.

I wonder if these are Blue Willow? Love all the blue jars.

This is a lot like the table we had when I was growing up.

And the date is past on this last one and it is all the way in South Carolina, but my oh my what a goldmine.

This makes me want to find some yard sales for tomorrow.

It's giggle time...

I thought we all might need a good laugh today. Some of these are just too cute.
