MIA

MIA - Missing in action!

I have to write about this infamous lost wallet of my dear husband's because I am so tired of looking for it that I am loosing my mind!

Christmas Eve was a bit of a rush, we were running late as usual. He rushed home and we were out the door in minutes. The last "sighting" of the said wallet was at the store when DH paid for our last minute gifts - I was so not prepared this year!

It is now 2 days post wallet sighting and I have looked through every nook and cranny in my house! It is not even January yet and I have finished my "Spring" cleaning LOL! What a wonderful thing! I must have 7 trash bags of "stuff" to donate to the goodwill....here are some of my findings....

black clogs that I swore I would wear again...that was 5 years ago

numerous suits and skirt sets prior to my "stay at home mommy" days - I have nowhere to wear these and I highly doubt they would fit!

a pink and green striped belt - have no clue how I obtained this - looks like it belongs in the 80's

size 5 Rockies Jeans - these were all the rave back when I met my DH 14 years ago! I used to be a size 5, but as the years have pasted my lovely hips have matured LOL! I have no clue why I was holding on to these? There is no way in heck, even if I worked off my A@@ that they would fit - my hips have spread like margarine - that's a gross analogy but the only one I could come up with.

A Louis Vuitton wallet box - I can't find my wallet it is lost as well - maybe the two ran off together and are vacationing in Cancun! I threw it in the bag anyhow, though I am sure the person unwrapping and sorting all of my donated goodies will have no clue who Louis is and trash the dang thing like I should have!

I should be happy that a lot of my cleaning and purging of old things is done BUT I am still so annoyed that the wallet is missing. I am sure a couple months from now I will be going through something and there it will pop out! In the most obvious of places! Isn't that how life works? For me at least...I am not the most organized person and I will admit it!

I should be thankful that the wallet has forced me to do things like vacuum under my beds, clean my linen closets and go through my closets! I just can't seem to "let go" of this damn wallet as like any other "SAHM" I am financially tied to it LOL! No wallet, no getaway! We were supposed to meet up with some friends that are from Ireland that flew over to vacation in the mountains for a winter ski vacation. I do not have a credit card to my name so this is not good! My DH called the back and we were told 7-10 days before the new one gets here - UGH.

So send me some good "wallet kharma" and maybe it will turn up by Sunday!

'Twas a Verry Merry Christmas!


I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Whew can you believe it is over? After all of that work - making your lists, shopping, wrapping, cleaning and cooking - and it is over in a mere 24 hours flat!
Here are some great pictures from our Christmas.....
the girls fell asleep on Christmas Eve. All of that unwrapping is hard work!


My mom surprised us all when we arrived at her house with a new set of PJ's - so Christmas Eve became "lounge wear" night with great food and drink! I loved it! Here are all of the ladies modeling their new red threads!



I hope Santa was good to you and brought you everything on your wish list!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Santa!


We had quiet a busy weekend! We took the girls to get Christmas pictures done, see Santa and we went to see Disney Princess on Ice.



The girls did not know we were going to the Disney Ice show - they had no clue. Malaina kept asking me "Mom but why do I have my dress up clothes on?" I told her we were going to a place for a special surprise! What a blast! They had no clue where we were going until we walked in the door of the arena. That was half the fun, the surprise!
I love surprises and I am sure I will have even more fun this year playing "Santa"!

My New Improved Blog!





Welcome to my new blog! I can say "improved" because I finally redid my logo and overall look. I can also work on one of new year's resolutions a bit early and promise to become more of a regular blogger.
I would love to say that I decided to revamp it out of pure choice, but no, I was forced to redo the entire thing!

So I admit, I am a bit unorganized when it comes to anything involving paperwork (that is why I let my husband pay all the bills - lol) and I certainly have a hard enough time remembering all of my passwords floating out there. So I had to build a NEW blog because I could not access my old one. I tried several times to access my old password or have it reset but just could not get it figured out on this website - not the easiest to maneuver - someone defiantly needs to fix that.

I have some new music as well - a variety, I have never been on to stick to one type of music. I am all over the board with my listening habits and it causes quiet the tiff in the car with my dear husband who is a lover of 80's music - the one I nearly cannot stand. Though I have a few 80's favs, and I mean a few, I will listen to just about anything else! Strange that I can go from Metallica to 50 cent and then to Dixie Chicks on my music dial - anyone else out there like that?

I have 2 auctions running right now - both Valentine's Day sets and that will be it until next year! Click here to see them.


My dear friends at VendeMia and I have a fabulous launch planned in January so check back later for details - it is going to be fun!
