The leaves, they are a-changin’

fall-leaves

Well, not just yet, but I love fall for many many reasons.  The color of the leaves, all things pumpkin and spice, football, my anniversary, my birthday, Halloween and Thanksgiving.  And with all of these exciting things right around the corner I am jonesin’ to do some serious shoping.  I have quite a few things on my list of needs wants for this fall.

Theses boots are super cute and I think would look great with skinny jeans or tights and a dress.

All I want to buy lately are long cardigans especially in rich colors.  They go with everything.

A cute plaid top would be an updated version of what I wore back in the day.  Dad’s plaid shirts and purple lipstick will no longer do.

Real or faux, a leather jacket is at the top of my list.  I love the assymetrical zipper on the front of this animal friendly one.

I like colored tights for fall, in theory.  And I might even try to go there this fall, might.  We’ll just have to see how I feel about my legs that could rival a redwood when there’s actually a chill in the air.

I’ve compiled this list a little early, because it is going to be way too hot for any of these things in Alabama for a couple more months.  But, fall is by far my favorite season, and I just can’t wait.  (I’ve had pumpkin spice candles in my house for the past month.)

While the hubs was away…

… I redecorated his office!  Well I guess it’s more just decorated since we never really did anything to it to begin with.  As is made very apparent by this first picture.

(And yes, there are three computers sitting in this one tiny room.)

Last week J went out of town on business and in an attempt to ward off boredom I decorated his office.

I painted the walls a nice medium toned gray, with the help of my sister.  And just doing that made the space look infinitely better, but why stop there?

I decided that the curtains I originally made for our master bedroom looked better in the office.  So I hung them in there and the gray/blue/green of the silk looks much nicer with the gray than it did with the brown in the master.

I then organized and replaced all the office furniture and the elliptical machine.  I actually got rid of some books and other miscellaneous items that had no home and I no longer had a use for.  I get sentimentally attached to things, so this was a tremendous effort on my part.

The office also turned out to be the perfect place to hang my International Star Registry certificate and map.  Yes, I have a star!  My star’s name is Jessica Nicole and it is located next to Andromeda.  Thanks to my bestie I will live forever!  Well, until I burn out anyway.

The office is not entirely finished.  I need to find a way to wrangle all the computer cords.  Also, I want to frame all of my University of Alabama Million Dollar Band posters and pictures from when I was on colorguard.  This is very nerdy, I know, but I can’t help it.

Really?

omg

I saw this, and I have to say that CG Lashblast is NOTHING like Dior Show.  I have no problem paying $26 for mascara when it actually delivers.  Sorry CG, no.

It’s Been a Long Time…

Shouldn’t have left you, without a dope beat to step to!

I have been in somewhat of a posting lull lately.  I haven’t felt as though I’ve had much to say.  Add that to life’s stresses, and whatnot, and you get nadda.

Sorry.

I’m in the process of re-doing our master bedroom.  I know that we’ve only had it for four months and only fully decorated for one, but I just didn’t like it.  So there!  Ha!  I can say that hubster wasn’t too terribly excited, but I twisted his arm.  He is quite a miser and takes some encouraging when I want to spend gobs of money.  It’s not done yet, but I’m getting close.

Anyway, I have quite a few things coming up and will hopefully have new things to report soon.

Until then…

peace out cub scouts!
