Sunday roll call

Good morning Illinoisans,

I'm tossing  between going to the Pec Thing which is antiques and shabby chic or going to Ikea to get some shelving. Which to do? I guess I'd better get on the phone and see if Ikea has in stock what I need. That might make the decision easier. I hate to drive I-90 since it's under construction, but maybe Sunday would be easier than a weekday. Decision, decisions!

I agree with Dawn's post on  FB "mistakes are just lessons". So true and yet sometimes hard to remember. Also, character defects are just tools that we used to survive, just like using Fisher-Price tools to build an adult bookshelf. We have to get adult tools and learn how to use them. the so-called defects are learning stages.

Have a good day--looks like an outside day for many!

Hello Everyone

 It looks like it will be a beautiful day.

I got a lot done yesterday.  I guess in effort to keep my mind off other things.  I got my place cleaned and organized.  I bought these organizers for my dresser.  I went Goodwill in Plainfield (one of my favorite locations) and did well.  I went to Meijer and bought house plants and some flowers to brighten up my place.  I also got a White Sox shirt for the game I will going to at the end of the month.  I can't go and not wear a White Sox shirt!!!  Then I went to Whole Foods and Williams Sonoma. 

So you see Sharon I think I do too much shopping too.  Right now I shop to keep myself busy so I don't have to think about Chris.  If I'm out and about then I can keep my mind occupied.  I also have excuses.  Like I am buying all new kitchen stuff because Amanda needs kitchen stuff when she comes back...so she will get my old stuff.  And of course I am replacing my bedroom stuff so it looks different...I guess so it won't be they same as it was when I was with Chris ( I know pathetic).  I think I use shopping as a way to keep my mind off Chris on the weekends.  

Well enough about him...grrr!!!!

Connie- I would go Shabby Chic...it's so much more interesting.  Oh how much fun to decorate your shop!!!!

Today I am going to do some laundry and I need to iron my Summer clothes....I put it off long.  I hate ironing.  But when I pack away my Summer clothes they get all wrinkly.  And I am instituting my "make a nice dinner Sunday" again.  Back when I was single I never made nice dinners because it was just me...well I finally decided...who cares!!!  And started making myself nice dinners every Sunday.  So now that I am single again...I am doing it again!!!!  So what are you all doing today???

Have a wonderful Sunday...bye

Good Morning.

What and where is Shabby Chic???? It sounds interesting.

Yesterday we went to our daughter Annettes for Morgans 16th. Itwas really nice to spend the afternoon with the family.

Today, I am doing the laundry, cleaning out one of the rods in my closet, putting away the suitcases from last week, and doing a few plantings in the yard. Also doing some ribs for dinner, starting them on the grill. I also need to figure out what I want to wear tomorrow night to a Mother Daughter Tea, in Bloomington. It will be work casual/to work  dressy dress.

In regaurd to yesterdays topic, I think everyone has a few hangups. That is what makes us, us.

Hugs,
