Tick...tick...tick

Nope, it's not my biological clock sounding in my ear. Just one of those clocks reminding me that time is running out.... Thanksgiving is just a few days away. Do you have your grocery shopping done? Do you know what you're going to cook? Where do you find large cans of apricot nectar anymore?
Tick...tick...tick. I think I'm getting old. It's not a chronological issue, but as "they" say, it's all a state of mind. And my mind is in the state of Dementia. It can be a blissful state with a meandering two lane highway that has the sweeping tree canopy that almost blocks out the sky in places. Without a doubt that's where I live, the state of Dementia. Even if others see chaos and disorder, I can stay in Dementia and convince myself that all is well.
Tick...tick...tick. Ding! Time for a nap.
Later folks.

That fuzzy, tingly warm feeling

No, it's not the feeling you get when you have to go potty so bad that you walk with your legs joined at the knees.... But that feeling you got when you thought about him at the right time and in the right way. Remember that? Really, think hard. Remember now? Well she's got it. It's easy to understand why deer run out in front of cars this time of year. It's their mating season. Well, she's love drunk. Julie went on a cruise met a fabulous single guy and WHAM! She may claim it's seasickness, but she's love drunk.

I desperately need a road trip. Thanksgiving is coming, then Christmas. I need a return trip to Cooper-Young.

Three weeks ago I was wandering around downtown Memphis (a favorite thing to do) and I saw a black and white photograph (framed and matted) called "Missing Columns" at the market during a juried art show. I should've bought it. I should've bought it. It captured so much in such a simple photo. I am going to stalk the photographer down again and buy it. Someday.

Ever have the feeling things are changing around you faster than you can appreciate. Kind of like picking up a pair of binoculars and having trouble adjusting the focus. You know things are different, just not sure how.

There's little better in life than having friends, good friends that will walk you to safety and know when to stop talking before you cry. You know who you are.

My grandma Hettie would get teary eyed just thinking about special people in her life. Call me Hettie.

Shabby Diva Chic Finds!

So, I've just got to brag on one of my super steal finds from today. I love Restoration Hardware and enjoy geting their catalog. Today, I bought nine (9) oil-rubbed bronze wall sconces with shades at a yard sale for $45. They have the RH sticker inside the fixture under the installation plate. So, I looked out on the website and they are part of the Vintage fixtures collection and sell for $59.99 each on sale (reg. $99). They look as if they have never been installed. It just so happens I have a total of nine (9) shiny brass wall sconces in my living room and dining room that are dying for a change. Gotta love it! Above is the pic, but it's the chrome model. Again, mine are oil-rubbed bronze, so they are black metal.

Other super deals - an awesome London Fog all-weather jacket for Kev at $3. And an awesome gold sweater set from Coldwater Creek at $3 for the set. Scored great knee high brown boots for me at $3 as well.

Nothing warms the heart like a road trip and found treasure....
