End of the Month Phone Dump

 i.e. if I don't blog them now I never will!

I went to Menards a few weeks ago and they are now selling hair care. HAIR CARE PEOPLE. At Menards!!! Why they didn't sell cool stuff like this when I was growing up I will never know. Everytime we would come to town I would stay in the van and read my Archie comic books when my Mom went into Menards. Had they sold the cool things they do now I would have went in happily!!
 Despite the fact that it's still warm outside I have been transitioning the studio and my home into Fall. I love my little pumpkin lights!! And my other little pumpkin, Farmer Snugglemuffin :)
 Are they not the cutest??!
 By my front door I put up this sign and little box, which miraculously holds my sunglasses and lip gloss! You might have noticed by the mirror hanging by my door I always slap on lipstick/gloss on the way out. Or as I'm standing waiting for a student. I loved that I could clean them up with this decorative little scarecrow box!
 The Piano. Two different kinds of hand sanitizer has still not kept me from getting sick. I am currently sounding like a Man Frog with a super fun cold that I have had all.weekend.long. not a fan!
 I love this little box that I picked up at Gordman's! It has a hinge and opens. Inside I have my Pumpkin Play it Again slips. My students LOVE being able to pull out a pumpkin (with their eyes closed of course!) that tells them how to play their song again, often in a silly or fun way. Bonus, they have no idea they are learning!!
 I really wanted to put them in my super cute pumpkin jar with handle, but after searching high and low I have come to the conclusion that I left it in the fall decorations at my old job! sadness.
and finally, a sneak peek of my new dresser!!!! It was delivered on the same day that I started getting sick. Needless to say my bedroom has looked like mass chaos ever since. Ok my whole upstairs, has looked like mass chaos because I used to have a huge armoire right in this spot, so It was moved to the spare room and is currently just sitting far enough inside for the door to shut :) I promise I will have a complete blog post soon dedicated to my dumpster diving find!!

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Blue Monday!

Today's Festive Blue Monday outfit! I wore my tried and true trouser jeans, a short sleeved beaded top I got on clearance at Macy's of all places for 6 bucks!! And my awesome new jeweled flats! Sooo comfy and cute! Since it was in the 60's today I was able to get away with this warmer weather outfit! Beading on the top, I love it! Shoes, so ugly they are cute!!

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
