So I've decided to become a student of fashion.  I may only be in kindergarten, but it's still fun playing dress up even at my ripe age.  So, here is the first look: (I'd like to call this PUNK PRETTY)Herve Leger red bandage dressAlexander McQueen skull tankblack belt from TargetAzzedine Alaia pony hair zebra shoes (TO DIE FOR, right?)Carolyn Tyler necklacegray tights

Are you a "people pleaser"?  I am.  and whether you want to admit it or not, you are too.  We can't help it:  we were born that way.  Still don't believe me?  you're in denial if you believe "i don't care what others think about me."  Read on... I stumbled upon a Bible verse yesterday that has been on my mind, heart and soul. Galations 2:19 NLT For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me.

I had a fun-ny weekend with my Dear Husband.  I have many times tested his patience; but this weekend, he broke the record.  Results are in, Clay officially wins the prize for "good intentions - bad execution".  I now can now tell the story, but let me honestly say:  I was perturbed.  Disturbed.  No, I was insanely mad.  Actually, there are no words for how angry I was at the time.  But, I'm

I’m on a mission: to DO. I have multiple to do lists and feel more calm as I cross off the completed action one by one. It’s my happy place. You’ve seen me: I’m the lady across the street that always seems happiest when I’m hauling in Container Store bags. For you alcoholics, I just returned from happy hour. And the night is still young…I get to create an even better place of organized bliss.

If you didn't see Elf (again) over the holiday season, you're missing a few free laugh out loud moments.  And to me, those are rare!  I've posted a video clip above of Buddy's trip to the mall;  the escalator scene is especially near and dear to my heart because I experienced the tramautic ride in Dilliards at Broadway Square Mall in Tyler almost 30 years ago.  I don't remember much about the

There are plenty of books and websites dedicated to starting a new project, whether it's organizing your home, sharpening your time management skills, building a nursery, starting a blog, joining a Bible Study, getting married and staying married. All of these "projects", big or small, have the same key elements: Set Goals. Establish Priorities. Develop a Game Plan. I completely agree that
