A Charlie Brown Christmas - Christmas Time is Here Song

Country Living Fair!

I am super excited to be going to the Country Living fair this weekend!I've wanted to go for years but just never did manage to get there for one reason or another.The ladies from Gooseberry Patch will be there and I can't wait to meet them!! I've been a fan for more than 12 yrs now and have tons of their cookbooks!
So to prep us all I'm making "Easy Chicken and Noodles" from this one.................

It looks like it's going to wonderful "fallish" weather this weekend to boot.
Be back soon to post pics of the fair...wooo eeee I can't wait!

September~

"The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze."
- John Updike, September

Thinking of fall~~~

Gosh it sure has been hot around here!I make no secret of the fact that I don't like the heat and really just don't do well in it at all.(cranky,tired,etc)
It's definitely had my mind wandering to fall with the cooler temps and crisp air.I thought I'd post some pics to remind me that all this summer heat will soon turn to cool breezes and all the warm and wonderful colors of fall.Call me crazy but I might go get a fall candle out and light it up just to help get me there!
There are a couple OF new scents at Yankee Candle that I'm looking forward to trying out.
One is this "Apple Pie"
YUM!

The other is this...."Mountain Lodge".That reminded me of Tennessee.




I can't wait!

Summer is a comin and other random thoughts

Wow it's really warm here today! I absolutely have to get out and do some weeding this afternoon but I might wait till it cools off a bit.It went from Spring to Summer in like a minute!

I made a new veggie lasagna over the weekend and hope to post it tomorrow.I have to say it was pretty good!It was actually a really nice weekend,I spent time on Saturday with some family that I had not seen in several years.That's always good.

Going totally off topic but.........there are not too many movies that I'm ever excited to go see but right now I really want to see this~




and this!


Yes,I am a huge SATC fan,watched every episode ever and I'm anxious to see what happens between Carrie/Mr Big/Aidan!!!

So anyhoo tonight I have to help my 9 yr old son finish a report on George Washington and somehow manage to dress him up to look like GW!Should be fun.

Free Chick Fil A!

I LOVE Chick Fil A! Get a FREE sandwich~(and grab some sweet tea to go along with it!)

My new read

Just a little note to share a wonderful book I'm reading right now~ "Firefly Lane" by Kristin Hannah.
I was drawn to this book when I saw it the other day at the store (1 reason is the fact that I have this "thing" for fireflies)and I had heard great things about the author so I started reading it 2 days ago.
I'm already looking forward to reading some of her other books!

WELCOME SPRING!~

Good to be a woman and awesome blog I found!

Well,it's been awhile but well life happens right??!!
I was blog hopping this morning before the 2 little ones got up and stumbled on to this FAB lady....
http://wwwglimpseofmyworld.blogspot.com/

I've spent the morning drooling over her gorgeous home and wonderful recipes.(I get so giddy when I find a new blog that truly inspires me!)She seriously has the bedromm of my dreams right now!I love her style and the colors she uses in her home.If you get a chance pop on over,you won't be sorry.

I found this as well and had to post it...................

It is good to be a woman:
1. We got off the Titanic first.
2. We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
3. Taxis stop for us.
4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
5. No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival the Speedo.
6. We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.
7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.
8. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.
9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.
10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.
11. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.
12. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will look like an idiot.
13. We will never regret piercing our ears.
14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.
15. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

I really love that and had to laugh at some of those.They are SO true!
Send it to all the women that matter in your life!
