Crackberry Addiction bites me in the tush

Ok I'm going to be honest, I was addicted to my crackberry(blackberry). Like really addicted. I pheened for it I loved it I wanted to marry it. Then my contract was up for renewal and they waved this shiny pantech duo dual slider in front of my and I must admit I am always distracted by shiny objects. So I signed up positive that this new phone would be even better then my crackberry. I WAS WRONG! I hate it I want it to go away immediately. But alas I have signed a contract and am stuck with this thing until 2011. I will be crying on the inside every time I answer the phone. On a better note I made an awesome omelet this morning!


However I'm going to go ahead and fess up, it was definitely a scramble by the time it was on my plate. But still yummy!
Then I had to go to work.........all the way over in my home office. I love working from home even more then I love my cowgirl boots!

This is my home office and yes I know it's a mess. I am an extremest by nature. It either has to be perfect or a hot mess. There is very little room for an in between kind of thing. For example I have no problem letting my office become disorganized and crazy and that's where I work but I can not leave the house with out making my bed and cleaning the stove off. Please note the mondo cup of Starbucks......that will get me through till about 3. Then I switch over to coke, otherwise I would be passed out on the floor of my "office" dead asleep. At this time I would also like to encourage you to go out and find a piggy calender ASAP. They are to cute, and ya know I collect piggy's! I mean come on just look at that little face!




Also please notice the yellow paint spot above the printer. I'm in the middle of picking a color for the room.........what you can't see is the huge spot of Tiffany blue that came out baby boy blue on my wall( i should have known the home depot guy was just agreeing that he knew what Tiffany blue was to get me outa there). Such a disapointment. So that's my morning so far ya'll. I'll be back later to tell you how my search for antique furniture at the thrift store ended up. I am low on inventory!

Shameless......just shameless!

Ok, first let me say that yes I know I have no shame at all. I am a picker. As in I wander the historic district of downtown on garbage day hoping some poor unsuspecting soul has thrown out say an antique chair from a lost Chippendale set. Or and this is my favorite a box of great grandmas old clothes from like forever ago(perhaps the 1950's.......please please the 1950's and not the1970's). Now if it's in an actual garbage can.......ok even I'm not that dedicated. However anything next to the garbage can is fair game. So it happens.....you see the box and what looks like a perfect fox collared twill coat sticking out of the edge. Next is the dimming of the head lights, ya gota be super spy girl or it's no fun. So you get close and you hopefully look down into the box and alas it is stained and ripped and of no value at all, but wait what is that next to it. A crinoline?Oh it is! You pull it out of the box and there it is the perfect 1950's evening dress with a full skirt and little beaded martini glasses sprinkled all over it. And that's when it happens, the addiction has started. Then when you find out some wonderful woman over in Australia is going to pay you the big bucks for it oh it's on then. However let me just say that not every day is that lucky. I searched for hours yesterday for just one so so find, and I got nada just a whole bunch of looking through lost 80's flashbacks and a few 70's polyester knits.
However on the upside I did pick up a bottle of wine on the way home for an amazing five dollars that was darn good. That is my review for the day Beringer 2007 Moscato was the bomb diggity fo sho. Was that the 90's or the 80's?

Now my No-No for yesterday might just seem like nothing, but to me it's a biggy, when did men decide that they don't have to hold the door open anymore? I may run my own bussiness and I may know how to change the oil in my car(that doesn't mean I'm going to do it mind you, just that I think a girl should be aware)but lawd help me if men can't bother to hold the open the door for a lady. And lawd save the women who don't say thank you when they do remember to hold the door open! Now on to brighter happenings my Go-Go for the day is the wonderful men out there who work at auto supply and mechanic shops who don't take advantge and charge a girl an arm and a leg for "minor neccesary repairs". If I hear "well now miss I just don't know that it would be road worthy with out this little fix here" I am going to....well I don't know what but it'll be bad!

My blogging plans

Ok so here is the deal, now I love a good ramble as much as the next gal but I am hoping to add something of substance. So I have decided on adding two things first reviews on products, any products. Wouldn't it save us all a bunch of time and effort if we knew that the - insert product here-was not really going to work, and second what I am going to call NO-NO or GO-GO which is basically my version of do's and don'ts. Hopefully with pictures soon.

Ok my very first product

Purpose gentle cleansing wash
Love Love Love this product, I used to be one of those girls who needed something to get that mascara off and something else for the makeup......no I just smother myself with this stuff and rinse. It's made by Johnson & Johnson so it's almost tear free, now I'm not saying rub it in your eye and find out but I wear contacts and use it for my eye makeup and it works GREAT with no irratation.....but than again I'm not rubbing it in my eyes. 9.5 out of 10 (my only complaint is that it has almost a non smell, however this is great for those of you out there with sensitive sniffers!)

My No-No for the night is .....wait for it............Uggs with shorts....IN THE SNOW!!!
I thought at first I was just a little, ya know sensitive but then I really thought about it (every time I was in the presence of a mini skirt/shorts, ugg wearing....cough cough...young lady) and I had a moment of divine understanding. If it is cold enough for fur lined boots-It is cold enough for pants! I mean it was 7 degrees here for most of the day and I saw not one or two gals out in this combo but four, and one of them was a mother dragging three kids behind her. I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt though because with three kids under the age of 5 I'm surprised she can get out of the house remembering to wear shoes at all!

My Go-Go for the day is....drum roll please(jelly roll to please...no? oh well) All of the gals pulling on the super cute hats! You loose something like 80% of your heat through your head, I think...deffinetly don't quote me on that, but yeah if you can look to cute for words and stay warm....you go-go with your bad self....yes I know that was lame but come on lets here it for girl power! What's your worst No-No or Go-GO?

Lets get this thing started!

I'm telling you now this is my very first blog ever so please don't judge to harshly(yum Hershey..no.....I definitely meant harshly.....sorry I get sidetracked easily :) and please enjoy!


Let me say that I am by no means any good in anyway at this computer stuff. I stink at in every way possible. At times I have been known to beg my computer to please please help me do what I'm trying to do, I will whisper sweet nothings in it's ear....er speakers I will even promise to give it it's very own car, room or house if it will just please let me get the pictures from my camera onto my um hard drive? I think that's where it puts them.

So this is my first post, it's past midnight on a Sunday night. I have to get up early Monday morning and like usual I just can not sleep. We had a little bitty power outage, during which I begged my house to please just fix the cable(I am so weak when it comes to my viewing pleasure),it can keep the lights becauseI so don't need lights to watch the television. So after doing a little bit of cleaning-read I used the vacuum on the kitchen floor. I thought it would be a good idea to turn my computer back on and make sure I had not lost anything, not that I would notice if I had but hey it sounded like the thing to do. That of course led to me checking the blogs that I had bookmarked. So now I have a blog, granted it's a bit lame at this time since I have no clue what I'm doing with it yet but hey I'm ah Bloggin'!

Just a little bit of info, and if anyone is reading this.....anyone, anyone at all please feel free to ask any questions you might have and I will definitely/probably answer them! I am a twenty something misplaced southern girl. Very very southern, I have the seasoned cast iron skillet to prove it! The south is in my blood, heart, and mind and I miss it dearly. A few years back I was dragged kicking and screaming up to Indiana for my daddy's(yep daddy and mama, I'm old school like that) work. I was given two weeks notice and told it would be fun to have snow for the holidays. Snow is awesome.......um hm.....super duper....as long as you don't have to leave the house for things like work and school and you know.....life! I did not even own a winter coat when I moved up here and was greeted with below yes I said BELOW zero temperatures. Then I made friends, graduated and started working up here and decided maybe it wasn't so bad. I love how if you say something often enough you can almost believe it. So these are the basics about me. First I love people I love getting to meet new people and talk. I am one of those people who will try to talk to you in the checkout lane. I know it freaks some of you out and I'm sorry but I just can't help it........I just wanna be friends!!! Second I am a girly girl. If it's pink, sparkles and maybe comes wrapped in a feather boa I am going to be all over that like white on rice........feathers on a bird? I don't know, but ya know what I mean. Third I sell antiques in the real world and vintage clothes in the ebay world and I LOVE it. I will enlist the nearest person to be my model and let me dress them up for my ebay pictures, it's all in the details you know. The only problem with selling antiques is that I want to keep almost all of them. I am a furniture hoarder like nobodies business. I don't suggest it either, I promise you can only fit so much furniture in one house and I am so over that limit. I'm also a shoe, make up and purse hoarder. And I have yet to meet a piece of chocolate I didn't like(also a bit of a problem hehe). Ok so that's enough for tonight. If all my fellow bloggers and blogettes will give me some time I pink promise to make this blog at least half way interesting. If I can make one other woman out there go "oh thank gawd I'm not alone!" I will have done my job.
