Day 15} Love~Actually. Some of the movies I love.


Day 16} What you’re reading~Just got this very Austensian book. A little cheesy but enjoyable because I’ve been to all the places they’re talking about. Gotta finish it up so I can get going on my book club book, “The Book Thief.”


Day 17} Snack~Trying to stock up on more healthy snacks. Almonds are super healthy and I mix mine with craisins and raisins:)


Day 18} Something you made~Funnily enough I made/helped make a lot of cute art this week. I do art with preschoolers at work, one of my favorite things ever! Here are some samples:)
 
  
*Hand print art work for ongoing calendar project.
*Sparky the fire dog for Fire Safety Week
*Bubbly fish swimming through the sea

Day 19} A favourite place~If you want to see some of my favourite places check out my Pinterest page. I have a board for just this, “Favorite places and spaces.” I wish I was anywhere here right now. My home state!


Day 20} Something you can’t live without~ Check out this posting for more things I can’t live without. Maybe you’ll see some things you never realized before you need desperately
I guess for right now I’d have to say I can’t live without my 4 legged children.


Day 21} Where you stand~At work…it requires a lot of this everyday.


Day 22} Pink~I love the color pink! Maybelline 5th Avenue Fuchsia lipstick & OPI Kiss me on my tulips polish. Cosmopolitan on a Friday night. Yum!
 

Day 23} Technology~ High Tech Robots!


Day 24} Something new~Bought new Ralph Lauren sheets. Love the pale green and floral toile.


Day 25} Unusual~I’ve never seen such a thing. This is so funny! I feel kinda bad for the cubical captives of the world. But maybe this would give them a laugh.



Day 26} 12 o’clock~ Working on this posting and Stella came upstairs crying. She needed a hug and a rub.


Excited about my 3 day weekend. Hoping to do some catch up on here, Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Springhouse Restaurant, New things, etc. Coming atcha soon!
Have a great Saturday!

23}Moon~This particular moon is one of my favorites and brings me back to some great memories. Taking the vaporetti back to the train station in Venezia. What a great crescent moon! Glad I got to see Venice before it heads out to sea!





24}An animal~Well I know it’s springtime when I’m rescuing animals from my personal rodent exterminators. This particular day it was a chipmunk, not unlike the one pictured below. Stellaluna also got frisky the other day and decided to climb a tree and frantically converse with a birdie.


25}Breakfast~I love cereal and have a Seinfeld-esque collection at all times. Today…this.

26}Key~trinkets in a dish



27}Your name~Part of my name.

28}Trash~Today Stella discovered plastic bags. She’s not quite sure if she should be really excited or really scared.

Week in review!
Thursday~Had some delicious roasted beet salad and sweet potato fries for dinner.

Saturday~Girls day. Shopping with mom and out to dinner at one of my favs, Thaicoon, on the Marietta Square. A little Kendall-Jackson chardonnay, Tempura sushi, Masaman curry, and pineapple fried rice. YUUUMMM!!

Ended a night of Thai with a cuppa Chai!

Spent a day purging my closets and reorganizing my drawers. Went through my nail polish and tossed a few. I think I’ll reorganize them with testers for future use! What colors should I get next? Hmm.

After cleaning and purging…MAD MEN SEASON 5 PREMIERE! It’s been almost 2 years since season 4 ended. So glad it’s finally back! Who else tuned in? I’ve been there since the beginning so I know it’s definitely going to be an interesting season, especially after Don and Megan’s crazy behavior Sunday. Here is Megan doing her own version of Happy Birthday for Don at his surprise party, “Everyone’s going to go home from this and they’re going to have sex.” She knew what she was doing.

Stella up a tree after chattering with the birds.

Dinner last night. Ribs, BP, and tomato salad. I used a Real Simple recipe and added cucumber and basil. It would be really good with feta and even mixed into another salad.

Came home tonight and found more of my old children’s books. Cleaned them up and reorganized my children’s lit shelves. They are coming in very handy at work now! Story time brings me back!

Well I’m settling in for the night. Hope everyone is having a great week! Happy Hump Day! It’s almost Friday, counting down.
Have a bright day!
