...this & that... Thursday.

Well, yesterday was my Friday this week.  Hence, no post yesterday - I was busy packing last night and organizing my apartment.  Yes, I've been on a quest to organize and streamline my place because, well let me be absolutely frank with you -- the chaos in my apartment has been driving me crazy.  And no I didn't take any before or after pictures but, I should have.  You probably wouldn't think it was or is that bad but, I do.  My mom even noticed the new found "order" however, she liked it before.  Now, it's super clean and organized.  Hmmm, a future blog post:  my apartment.

Anyhow, on with the tidbits...

I'm headed to Florida to spend a long weekend with my childhood friend, Jason and his wife Brenda and their adorable new baby daughter, Elizabeth.  Actually, Ms. Elizabeth is 6 months old now but, it will in-fact be my first time seeing her -- so, it's still new to me and I'm sure her parents.  But, I'm super excited!!!  Very.  It will be really cool to see Jason as a parent in-action if you will.  You see Jason and I used to play G.I. Joe, Star Wars, play "war" with replica machine guns, etc.  Oh, and need I forget to daredevil tricks with his BMX bike and I have quite a nice scar on my chin as "proof" of our fun, little, tricks.  Oh, yes I really do! 

My mom dropped me off at the airport and I made it through security in 10 minutes.  Needless to say 20 minutes after my arrival at the airport I'm seated, drinking my iced venti green tea and blogging away...  I don't board for another 45 minutes so, I'm still good.  And today I'm going to pay for in-flight Internet service and blog some more. 

I'm brought some fun reads.  Currently reading 4 Blondes by Candace Bushnell.  And to think I've had this book for years, literally years, and haven't read it until now.  The next book to read is Book 1 of the Emerald Legacy:  Irish Hearts by Nora Roberts.  And I did bring a third but, not quite sure if I'll get to that.  Oh, and a few magazines, too.  You can never have enough reading material.

...this & that...

Check out ...this DIY website www.ispy-diy.com (found in InStyle magazine, Jenni Radosevich, part-time staff and blogger).  Be sure to find the "spruce up your summer sandals" that I found in the InStyle magazine -- who would've thought this "easy-peasy" DIY to spruce up your summer sandals.  Wow!

MAC Satin Taupe is one of my favorite eye shadows of all time and a must for every gal.  A golden taupe with a hint of purple...simply stunning and gorgeous all-in-one.  Can be worn wet or dry.

I think each of us needs this teasing comb and to think it's only $13 - recessiontools.com

Tuxedo jacket.  Yes, each of us needs this fab little addition to our wardrobe.  I have a black one with cropped sleeves and love, love, love it!  However, it is several years old, been worn a bazillion times, and dry cleaned just as many...I'm in need of a new one.  I currently own black.  But, I think in addition to replacing it that I also need a white one, cream one, and white with black color...  Hmmm, sounds pretty enticing doesn't it?  There fabulous.  A must for every gal.  And ladies, this should be a staple in your wardrobe.  It can be work with jeans or dress pants -- just think the possibilities are endless.  And different fabrics change the look as well.  Oh, Fashion Fairy, where o' where are you....?  I hope your reading this...be on the lookout for me. 

I am lusting after a set of Ricky Care Fusion Self Grip Rollers (self-grip really?)  Check out www.rickysync.com

Have an absolutely, fabulous day!  And I'll be seeing you soon.
