LOVE FOR GABBY!

Hi y'all!

I just had to come out of blogger vacay and show my support!

Like everyone else in America, I was watching the Olympics and was just blown away by this magnificent young lady!  Last week, I read a great article in the New York Times regarding Ms. Douglas and she gave one quote that I just love:

  Such a wonderful inspiration to little girls everywhere!

Congrats to this powerhouse!  I'm so proud of her!

I've Gotta Getaway...

Hi Everyone!

I haven't been on here for a month.  Life has gotten very busy, plus my jewelry course is going well (I've already signed up for Fall semester, who knew metal smithing would be so appealing?).

I realized the best thing to do is to actually take the Summer off from blogging.  So everyone have a great one and I will see you on September 3rd.  ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!  :)



Y'all know I had to leave you with some music!  ;)

Ahh Sunday...

Evening everyone!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  The weather was nice, but I decide to stay inside this weekend and take care of some much needed housework.  I also wanted to rest up because tomorrow evening I start my jewelry class.  I'm so excited!  But it going to be a long day, so today I decided to take it easy.

So I lounged around, read a few magazines and cooked a great dinner.  I put my heart and soul in it y'all:

Spicy baked chicken, collard greens, white rice (cornbread, salad and lemonade completed meal)

Some of the great blog posts I read today:

• Fat Mum Slim had a bit of a parking dilemma.  Read post here.  I had a bit of a chuckle reading it.

• Y'all have got to check out "The Proverbs".  Editor-in-chief Steven Brown sent me a comment on a post I wrote and I decide to check his blog out.  I have spent a bit of my afternoon going through the archives; he's gained a new fan!  Check it out!

• I'm loving this dress that Karen from "Where'd You Get That" has on.  LOVE!!

• Adrienne on Eclectic A...I just love her blog, I'm all about the visuals! 

I'm going to make this a short post as I need to get ready for work tomorrow.  I'll talk with you all later. Have a great night!

Sunday Satisfaction...

Sunday is a day where I pretty much do absolutely nothing.  Especially if I have a 9-5.  I usually wake up on Sunday by 8am; I wash up, and get into a pair of yoga pants and t-shirt. I get a cup of tea, and by this time it's 9am, I watch CBS Sunday Morning, then Roland Martin on TVOne.  After Roland goes off, I turn on my computer and read all the blog posts of my favorite bloggers that I haven't been able to read during the week.

  

Sunday starts with a great cup of Peach Ginger Tea...

Today before I started with my reading, I went through the online sales ads looking for Memorial Day sales.  My honey suggested that we forgo the huge cookout in favor of a romantic picnic for two.  I'm all for it.  On my way home from work this past Friday, I saw this picnic basket at Bed, Bath and Beyond.  Although it was at a great price ($39.99), I forgot my BBB coupon and that's a no-no.  You can best believe that I now have the coupon in my wallet and I'm going back to get this basket.

I also a going through recipes for easy picnic lunch.  I don't feel like packing the usual suspects (i.e., ham/cheese or turkey/cheese sandwiches), I would like to try something different.  Then I remembered my "A Sister Loves To Cook" board on Pinterest.  If I can't find something through 309 pins I posted, I'm a hopeless case!

Now all I have to do is figure out my outfit.  But we'll talk about that later this week...

So I've been reading through all 338 posts (I have it bad) enjoying multiple cups of tea throughout the day and I had a wonderful lunch (chicken salad) and dinner (Thai beef w/ broccoli).  I'm down to reading the last 28 posts.

Here were some of my favorites posts that I read today:

• Kimmiepooh from KPFusion posted a great video of Victoria Beckham's clothing line and how she is going about expanding her business.

• Who would have thought that office organization supplies would be great to use store your hair accessories!  I will have to make a trip to Staples later this month.

• Not only do I need to be her size, but Mimi G. needs to be my BFF.  Her style is SICK!  LOVE HER!

• Miss Moon's Musings wrote a list of her favorite top ten songs.  What she said about Paul Young remaking "Ooh Girl" by the Chi-Lites had me in stitches...
• After reading this post from Andrea via Fly, I'm going to have to put Spain on my bucket list...

Oh how I love Sundays!

What did you do this Sunday?  Was it as relaxing as mine?  Or did you go all out to give the start of your week a big bang?
