9 year anniversary

We went to a local Strawberry festival during the day yesterday. We brought Tara & her friend. It was cute watching them holding hands & walking around like little mini-teenagers. We had this photo taken at a photo booth there.

We took a motorcycle ride to a restaurant. It's only our 2nd ride together. So we are still getting use to driving together. 

Good news too, Anthony will be shaving his face. He usually does it for our anniversary, but he is a bit late this year.

Nail files. Week #207

So this week has gotten even crazier with me buying nail polish. I got 4 more at Dollar tree (they were $1 each, but I'm trying to cut down). Right now I have on KB Shimmer-Whole Lava Lovin' & LA Colors color craze-Glam.

Stuff & Things

This is my 1st time doing a Stuff & things link up.

*I went to our libraries book fair today. I got 4 books for Tara & 4 for me. She just said last night that she wanted this Junie B book. I was so excited when I found it for 50 cents.

I love cozy mystery books (& chick lit). I read "Remember me" before (from the library) & liked it, so I got my own copy for $1.

*I've been eating crappy since our cookout on Sunday. We have leftover cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies & brownies. The good news is I did the eliptical today & have been drinking more water. I want to do the eliptical a few times a week & pilates again.

*I've also been buying too many nail polishes, so I am taking a break until the end of June. We are going to Bar Harbor & I know there is a Del Sol store there.

Wordless Wednesday

Volunteering

This is Ravioli & Gnocci. They are related & both 8 years old. They are small, so they look young.

Below is a Bengal cat named Athena.  She is 2 & had a really cute squeaky cry.

Memorial Day weekend

We had a fun Saturday. Red, white & blue nail polish.

Motorcycle rides around the corner.

Tiki torches lit.

Yummy cupcakes & a cookout with friends.

Matching nail polish. So glad to finally be wearing flip flops.

Nail files. Week #206

This week I changed my nails a few times. I got a bunch of new polishes in the past few weeks. I had on Finger paints~Tiffany Imposter (light blue) & the glitter is from Charming Charlie's~A Roaring Good Time.

Yesterday my 1st KB Shimmer polishes came in the mail. I have on "What are you Wading For?" today.

This is Mary, she is a Maine Coon mix. I got to brush her last week. She's such a lovey.

Midnight is below.

Buffy, the boy I fell in love with last week, had his name changed to Jake the State farm guy. Hmm. I don't really think they should change a cat's name if they are 5 or 6 years old.

Happy Mail

How Does your Garden grow?

My hubby finally got the garden started. He bought those 2 solar ball lights yesterday at Home depot. They are awesome & really do glow in the dark. I love the blue. He planted ghost peppers, tomatoes & herbs.

I even got him to put out the tiki torches.

We have tons of huge rocks in our yard. Tara loves posing on them. She let me paint her toenails today.

Nail files. Week #205

My 1st gel polish. Sally Hansen-Hunger Flames. The tips seem to be chipping a bit. I'm just getting ready to do another coat

This guy with me is named Buffy, I guess because he is buff colored. He needs a bath & grooming really bad, but he was so friendly & kept nuzzling his face into mine. He is 5 or 6 years old.

These cats below are Ozzie & Harriet. They came in together, but I think they had them in separate cages. They were both really sad, so they put them in together. 1 of them lost his eye. Sad stuff, but I always leave happy because I got to spend time with some wonderful cats. I brushed a few today.

Mommy & Me Monday

We were hanging outside in the back of my hubby's truck last week & took some pics. I love how light my hair is. This is my real color, but it needs to be dyed soon & the color I get is a lot darker than my real color. If I go lighter it doesn't cover the white hairs.

Linking up with "Krystyn from Really Are you Serious?"

Mother's Day

This is the card that Tara made in school for me.

She made this too. I'm going to put this in my office, on my desk.

Slash concert

We don't go to many concerts anymore, maybe once a year. We saw Slash last night in Hampton beach. It was so cold there. We were right on the beach. It was around 40 degrees. The concert was awesome. Myles, the singer has an awesome voice. The only thing that I didn't like is that they do a lot of Gn'r's songs. I know most people probably want to hear those songs, but I like Slash's  2 CDs.

Nail files. Week # 204

This week I'm wearing Nicole by OPI-Purple Yourself together & Sinful shine Procesecco.

The Older I Get

This post sort of goes with my post about turning 45. Maybe I'll do a series about getting older. So lately I've been feeling like I want to not be around certain people who annoy me, get on my nerves, over-stay there welcome etc... If you don't like a situation, get out of it. Kind of like the older you get, the less crap you want to take from people. You speak up more for yourself. My "Boston" girl side comes out & watch out. Sometimes I feel like people try to overpower you & walk all over you, take advantage of you. When you get to be a certain age you need to not let people treat you that way or make you feel like that.
