Sisters

Sisterly love runs so deep.

They are the people who drive you crazy but yet you love endlessly.

They are the ones who just "get" you.

They are the ones who don't let ya get away with anything.


This is the sister that drives me crazy(because she knows me so well) and yet makes me laugh harder than anyone else in the whole world.

This is my sister, Kelly.

She is the sister who:
used to pay me to do her laundry
took me to the beach
took me bowling
took me to the movies
I shared a queen size bed with while growing up
used to let me use her ID so I could get into bars before I was 21
(SSSSHHHH don't tell anyone)
when we get new wallets we do the "toll booth"
(that's when we act like we are paying a toll so we can show off our new wallet)
shared her son's halloweeen candy with me
(we actually ate it ALL while playing Mario Brother on Nintendo in one night)
eats whatever she wants and NEVER gains weight
(I know, I hate her too for that)

The list could go on and on..
I'm just lucky to have someone in my life that was there all those years growing up....
through the good the bad and the ugly.

I hope she reads this. She would kill me if she knew she was on my BLOG.
See, only sisters can do that.

Happy Monday!!!

Looky, Looky

So imagine this....

I'm in my yard...

minding my own business....

and this little thing pops into my view.


Yep, that right...
it's a Crocus.

It has been a long, white, cold winter her in Chicago.

This is just what I needed to get me through until my upcoming beach vacation.

Happy Tuesday!!!!

Out With The Old....In With The New

Have I mentioned lately that I LOOOVE me some daisy's?

Wait...I'm pretty sure I have.

Well look what I found at the Crate and Barrel Outlet store.

I filled my kitchen cupboards with these.
(I thought cupboards would sound better than cabinets...don't ya think it does??)

These glasses actually make me a bit giddy.
I have been drinking lots of water so I can use them.

Yep, that's how I roll.
Whenever I clean out and organize my pantry I always find myself more hungry.
That way I can go in and see how good it looks.

When I organize my basement I find myself going down there more.

When I clean out my closet in my bedroom I find I don't wear sweat pants as much.

Any-hoo...where was I??
Oh yeah...the new glasses.

I 'm so happy about them...
I better wrap this post up.
I'm feeling thirsty again.

Happy Weekend!!!

FREAKY

I have this new little freaky obsession.

Hubby thinks I'm a bit cooky.

He just doesn't get it.

While I was on my "computer break" I discovered some new TV shows.

I call them my "Ghost Shows."



I like that these 2 guys and their team are out to give a logical explanation for what people are experiencing. They are not there to prove that there are ghosts. They are out to prove that what people are experiencing are NOT ghosts.

The reason why I love this show is that it allows me to see some really old castles.
I am an anthropologist at heart.
I love to see how people used to live.

I just like this show.



Hubby really does think I'm crazy. My kids think I'm funny.....I'm not sure in a good way though :)

Hubby gave me a gift certificate for a Chicago Ghost Tour.
He even told me he would go with me.
Can you believe it? Sheesh, he's a good guy~
Now....that is love.....true love!!!
He would ONLY do that for me.

That means I'm gonna have to do something for him now.
Huh....what should I do?
That is NOT a rhetorical question. Really....what should I do??

I want him to know how much it means to me that he would actually go on a ghost tour with me. I know in my heart it's the last thing he would want to do.

Do you have any interests that other people don't "get?"
I want to know I'm not alone in this.
Come on girlies...help me out here.
