pinwheels...

First of all, thank you all so much for your prayers and well wishes for my family!  You are all the best.  {From what I hear they are all doing fine and their roof is being boarded up until it can be repaired properly.}

I had to make a trip to the Dollar Tree over lunch and while I was there I picked up some of these ...

I couldn't resist.

{I got the multi-colored ones}

I have no idea what I will do with them, but at 3 for $1, I couldn't resist!

Maybe I'll tie them to some gifts, or stick them in my planters...

Any ideas?

klutz....

I missed you all yesterday! 

 {I was on an outing with my work peeps all day, and didn't get a chance to post!}  

I spent the day on the Country Club Plaza , and it could not have been a more beautiful day!  It was sunny and the perfect temp, not too hot, not too cold...just right!  

It's always fun to get out and about on a beautiful day!  

I scored these cute shoes at Urban Outfitters for just $9.99:

so exciting right?

then...{here comes the tragic part}...I wore them to work today, and fell up the stairs coming in from the parking lot!  I am such a klutz!  

and now look at them:

:(  i'm so sad!

anyone have any suggestions on how to repair this, 

or at least make it to where it won't get any worse?

i'll be back later with a friday to-do.

lunch shopping...

just got back from a little old navy shopping excursion with a friend over lunch.  

bought this

found here .

and an adorable yellow tote with tulips and a wine bottle printed on it that I cannot seem to find online!  I will have to take a picture of it to share, because it it too cute, and it was only $2.50!

we had lunch at noodles and company .  it was so yummy!  i had the whole grain tuscan linguini with parmesan chicken and a green salad.  I'm sort of looking forward to going again!

the weather is beautiful!  did not want to go back to the office!

***just a little note, in case you were wondering:  

Miles is doing very well!  He had some blood work done yesterday and everything came back normal. 

 He still needs to submit a urine sample. {yay for me getting to be the lucky collector of that!  sorry....is that TMI?} He still has no pulse in his back legs, but obviously his body is working around the clot, because he is getting blood to them or he wouldn't have feeling or be able to walk.  We are very, very grateful.

Hope it's beautiful where you are!

happy friday!

So, yesterday I went shoe shopping over my lunch break, and the strangest thing happened....I didn't find a single pair to buy!  I know, weird, right!?  I was on the search for some comfy, cute flats for fall.  {that I can wear to work} Now, don't get me wrong, I saw a few pairs that I'd like, but they completely missed the mark. I was on a functional mission and nothing was doing it for me.  Maybe next week.

This weekend I will be finalizing my booth for the show. {one week to go! eek!}  Lots to do, but I'm very excited! 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend planned!  See you Monday!

can't stop...

thinking about this dress that Christina at Down and Out Chic posted about today. 

So cute, and you can't beat the price!

Now I just have to figure out how to convince Jon that I need to buy it!

my house smells happy...

coconut lime verbena from bath and body works.  oh yes.  reminds me of my best friend.  she lives in texas, and i usually visit her in summer when it's 1000 degrees down there, but her house is always nice and cool and smells like coconut lime verbena.  it does make me miss her terribly, but it's kind of comforting too.  i wonder if my house smells like her house right now!?  

i went to the big sale today and stocked up on wallflowers. 

{$4 each!  you can't beat that!}

i have the scent of my house planned out for the next 6 months.  when the coconut lime wears out, i think i'll finish off the summer with juicy nectarine and then move to spiced cider for fall/winter.  maybe throw in a little cherry blossom to liven things up at some point.  

what are your favorite home scents?
