How Can You Go Wrong With Velvet???

Hello Lovelies!

Did you miss me? Just a little? I hope so!

I was off for a week and I mean off of EVERYTHING Social Media related...except Facebook which I think is almost impossible to ignore for that long. So instead of it being my least used media this week it was my most used.

So sad that the end of Summer is coming but I love the Fall and the cooler weather. Last week was awesome temperature wise so Lo and I baked and slow cooked ourselves and the family to comfy food coma happiness for a few days. Peanut ( grandbaby boy ) kept me entertained and we discussed the upcoming seasonal events with tons of excitement until Lo and her...

Lo- Guess what Steph!
Me- What Lo! (smiles)
Lo - Only 18 more weeks until Christmas!
Me - (smile fades) I hate you.

 Helped my other Bestie on Friday move some things into her beautiful new Townhouse.

HEY! not sure if any of you remember the age of Velvet Paintings but she has one that she got from her parents when she moved out and it brought back the weirdest memories of my childhood!

It looks like this...

Is that not the coolest looking thing??? So She loves it, I do too...various random people like the carpet guy putting in her new carpet loved it! The only one who doesn't like it... is her husband so he put it in the basement...that she is scared to go into because it creeps her out...which is funny and mean at the same time if you saw how much she dislikes the basement. Still the painting is so cool and it's sad that it's stuck in the dark. I'm sure it will see the light soon enough though.

Well I hope so anyway!

Besides all of that I had fun hanging out with my girls having strange conversations that make me wonder where they come up with some stuff and as weird as it gets they have perfectly legitimate reasons for thinking the way they do. I miss T though, I don't see her much and wish I saw her more but what can you do right?

So now I'm back in the real world again, behind a desk, tapping a keyboard and really hating every minute of it...

time for something new...

Have a great week!
See Ya

NOT Just Another Manic Monday

Happy Monday!

You think I'm drunk don't you? I'm not though, usually Monday's are just the 'get back into the rhythm of the work week' transitional day that almost always sucks and since I work this week and then I'm off on holidays...this is a Monday I can handle. Next Monday though Bean will be 19 and I might cry or maybe sniffle a bit.

Yesterday we went and saw Guardians of the Galaxy and considering all of the murmurs and uncertainty about the release of the film I enjoyed it! Alot actually and even some people cried...not me but sitting in between Blondunicorn and Bean if I had a box of tissues they would have been gone. I can't wait for the sequel and at least I'll have many other movie releases to keep me occupied until then.

It was a good time though!

We noticed though who the true Marvel believers are in the theater. Once the credits started rolling Allan and Bean got up to leave me and BU stayed firmly planted in our seats along with about half the theater until the final credits were done and the cut-scene was shown. I'm not going to spoil it but it you grew up in the 80's the final scene will remind you of something that was surprisingly big back then and now I don't know why! On the same trip down memory lane on Sat night I fell asleep watching Masters of the Universe...now that was a flashback.

It was also a week for people to get over their fears like I watched BU get over her fear of Snakes by holding Zena the largest of the 6 Bean has! She must be about 4 feet long and a thick girl but she did it and we were proud of her for it! My other Blonde bestie is about to embark on home ownership and although the fear is more her husbands than hers that's a big giant step to take and it's been a long time coming. I can just see him with the pen though to the sign papers and in his head he's chanting "Omg Omg Omg".

That's it for me right now! I'm on my own in the office this week and my lunch break is over just like Monday almost is!

Have a great week!
See Ya
