Did I mention....

Mom and DadOriginally uploaded by nancymlittle That I have the best parents ever? It's not a special anniversary date or anything like that. I just wanted to dedicate this post to my parents. They have been the most amazing parents one could ever ask for. I admire them to no end. They have been married for 39 years. Their 40 year anniversary is coming up in May. Unfortunately, they won't be here to celebrate with us, but it's ok....they are going...

Etsy showcase

My friends have been asking me how my Etsy store is doing. I keep saying, it's ok, but not the results I want.  Today, I decided to look into showcasing my items.  I figure it's worth a shot. The most I will lose is $7. I clicked on the "purchase showcase listing" and the earliest they have is for Sunday, May 16th! It looks like these spots get sold out fairly quickly. I'm taking that as a good sign. Perhaps just having the spotlight on my store for 1 day will generate a lot of traffic to my store and will result in lots of sales! ;-) In...

What a weekend!

Wow, never did I imagine going to San Antonio for Fiesta and coming home with a new addition to our family. Our last day in SA and we went to visit my friends aunt. Her dog had puppies and they really didn't want to keep all of them. Of course, being the doggie lover I am, I fell head over heels for the runt of the litter. I asked my hubby if we could keep her and at first he said no, but I finally convinced him ;-)  We now have 3 kids and...

To Prom or Not to Prom?

As you all know, my son is 18 and graduating this year (gulp...did I just say that?).  We were talking last week and I asked him what we needed to do to get ready for his prom.  Meaning, tux, transportation, dinner, etc.  We, he informed me that he's not going! I was really shocked!  I mean, I know his girlfriend isn't in town and he wouldn't be going with anyone in particular, but I thought he'd at least go with friends. Our...

Telenovelas

Since I was a teen, I remember my mom running to her room around 7ish to watch her telenovela. For those of you who don't know what a telenovela is, it's the Latin version of the soap opera with a couple of exceptions.  The plot is always the same and they only last a few months. The telenovela has been around since the 50's, but became popular here in the US in the late 70's.  Whatever the reason is that made my mom start watching them, I am grateful that is is part of our culture and our traditions. I am a huge novela fan.  I...

I do Yudu?

After countless times watching and re-watching the infomercial for the Yudu, I decided to order it.  The deal I got was try it out for 30 days for $30.  I have this idea for a cutesy t-shirt design which I could sell on Etsy along with my other stuff.  I was so excited when I ordered it. I couldn't wait for it to get here! Fast forward 2 months later (it was on backorder for a month) and it's sitting in my living room still in it's...

The new Iphone?

I'm really intrigued to know if this is true or not. I would really love it, if it is.  Why? because I want my iphone camera to have a flash!!!!! Yes, that is it! I don't care about more memory, new design or anything else. This phone has been lacking the flash for way too long. Check out the article and decide for yourself Gizmodo Well, what do YOU thi...

Is it a vodka Friday tomorrow?

A few posts back I had mentioned "vodka Fridays" and promised to explain it later on. As I sit here finally relaxing after a long day of cooking, cleaning and preparing for one of my best friend's bday tomorrow, I figured now is as good a time as any. Vodka Friday's came about quite some time ago when I would work from home on Fridays and my friends would come over for some fun in the sun by my pool. After I was finished with all my work, we would go outside and layout and drink vodka and tonic drinks. Hence the name: Vodka Fridays. This continued...

The Key To My Heart

Shanalogic is by far one of my favorite trendy, punk, indie type shops.  I love the fact that the store supports small indie businesses. I have to share my new favorite item: I have my heart set on you ;-) I've always said I love love. In fact, I call my husband "Love".  I am the biggest believer in forever love, romantic fairy tales and happily ever after.  SO...anything that has to do with a heart or love,  I.....yep,...

Manic Monday

Here we are again....Monday.  After a fantastic weekend with my hubby, I've got to get back into the swing of things here at the house.  I have a little over 3 months until my trip to Costa Rica to see my family. I realized it's time to get down to business with  my weight loss. I've put it off long enough. My plan is to start back at the gym (which I did this morning) and limit my calorie intake.  I've done it before (for...

Fashion Fridays (and a website review)

While it's definitely not couture, I absolutely love this shirt. So much so, that my hubby bought it for me this morning. I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan and fell in love with the shirt from www.shirt.woot.com. (more on this site below)  He knows I'm notorious for cutting up tshirts and this one would be perfect for my next project! Did I mention how wonderful he is? Their main site is www.woot.com but they have links to their...
