Diet Coke, please forgive me!

Reporting from London (Ontario, not England) where I am visting on business. We had such a great show today--one of the best, for sure!
Anyway Linda & I went to the most delish Italian restaurant tonight and I had seriously one of the most delicious Diet Coke's I've had in a very very very long time! Oh it was seriously so good! So I had 3 and savored every drop.

And it was my turn to pay so I got out my card and glanced over the bill......and to my COMPLETE HORROR, this is what I saw:

What???? WHAT?????? How could this be? I'm so deceived!! This is defintely a first and Diet Coke, I am soooooo sorry--please forgive me! How can I make it up to you?

I'm sure my heavily drug-induced state is the culprit (just Relpax, people, nothing serious). But I still feel like I've had a love affair. :(

Bathroom project

This week I decided to paint my spare bathroom. So here are the before pictures....

Is this dying for a makeover or what??????

And from the shower looking out toward the hall...
Then these next two pictures are the "oh gosh, what have I done!!!!!!" pictures. I kind of hated it b/c it wasn't what I wanted but the green paint choices were so ridiculous!! Serious slim-pickins!

So I reevaluated and bought new paint....but I forgot to take photos of what it looks like now (half this and half new color) so I will post those when I get back from Albuquerque.....and of course expedite getting it finished b/c I am so anxious to see it in the end!!!!!

Fabulous Friday

Because I can't wait until wordless wednesday to post this picture of this fabulous baby....

Is he awesome or what???????

Valentines

This year was the only year I've ever loved making Valentines.....so I thought I'd post a couple of examples. As I said a few posts ago, Zoey's valentine to me was what inspired my valentines. So here it is--the inspiration for it all:

Isn't that awesome? So you can see just one of the many reasons why I love Zoey so much--she's so creative and fabulous!

I used all different colors--this was one of my favorites...

And a close-up of one of my other faves....you can't tell really but I finally found a use for all the newspapers that I picked up on my Mediterranean cruise a few years back (this one is in French)....

This must be my new tradition and I'm glad I have a whole year to figure out what to do next year....

Shopaholic

Tonight I went to see the Shopaholic (more info about the movie on Movie Mavens) and I was congratulating myself all the way home for not being like her!! Seriously she's a mess!

And so as I hung up my fabulous new-ish coral jacket, I had to stop and wonder---do I also have a problem?

Would love to hear what your shopping addiction is (or to see it--consider this a photo tag and you're it)!

Zoey's Valentine's Day Box

Last Thursday, Zoey came over to decorate her Valentine's Day box. (Sorry for the crick in your neck that you'll have after watching this video....)

We had so much fun making it and I am wondering how I lived so long without a glue gun (just bought one a few weeks ago).

The whole idea was actually inspired by the valentine that she gave me earlier in the week--I also copied her idea to make all of my valentines, which I will post here next....

Did you wear red?

No, not for Valentines Day--but last Friday for Happy, Healthy Heart day?!

Lori, Jaron, Linda, me & Carrie in the elevator. :)

Just one more reason why I love my coworkers--they totally go all out for causes like this!
