Mama day

My hubby & daughter went camping overnight today. This is the 1st time in 3 years that I've been home overnight alone. I have a yucky cold, but was so excited cause I could get a bunch of things done. I went to a craft fair today & an apple orchard & bought a huge Mum plant & 2 mini pumpkins (1 white & 1 orange). I vacuumed, pulled out a bunch of my Summer clothes, organized T's clothes a bit, changed the cat box, painted my nails, picked up the house & it stayed clean, watched 2 episodes of Housewives of NJ (I have 2 left) & am watching "Couples Retreat". I also thought I broke the vacuum cleaner, the upstairs toilet is not working right & my kitty is peeing on the floor (I'm a bit worried about her & calling the vet on Monday). I think we all need a little alone time once in a while.

Fave Foto Friday

I thought I would start a new thing on my blog. I will add a Fave foto (yes, I know I spelled it wrong) every Friday. If anyone wants to join in, it would be fun.

Since Halloween is coming up, I thought I would post 1 of my fave Halloween pics. October 2008.

Sunny Sunflowers

Today I was driving down the street, not far from my house & drove by these awesome sunflowers. Of course, I had to get some pics. Great photo-op. I pulled into a parking lot, turned around, did a U-turn & then pulled over. I asked Tara if she thought Mama was crazy & she said "Oh no". Whew. So I got out & took a few pics. Sunflowers have always been 1 of my fave flowers & I hate the color yellow. I'm even trying to grow 1 on my deck.

One tough Mama

A few months ago, I started driving the hubs car. He's had it since 2004, but I just started driving it recently. He has an SUV (Hyndai Santa Fe). I was joking with him saying that I feel like a tough girl driving a big truck. I know, it's not a monster truck, but I still feel tough looking down on people. haha. I went shopping yesterday alone & had so much fun. This is me (in his car) in the Kohls parking lot. Got some cute tops & a butterfly necklace that I love.

Mommy & Me Monday

I love this pic. It was taken yesterday at the Italian feast. I think you can see how are eyes look alike in this pic (they're the same shape). She looks a lot like me when I was her age, but I had blonde hair & blue eyes.

Fun Sunday

Today we went to an Italian feast. My friend goes every year. This was our 3rd time going.

I got a yummy canoli @ the Tripoli bakery.

They shoot out confetti & streamers. Tara ended up filling my tote bag up with them & now they are all over our house. She decorated my arm a little while ago.

The fair is coming soon

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I hate fall (Winter even more), but I do look forward t the Topsfield fair. The dates this year are Oct. 1-11th. We were going to go last year, but never made it. We usually go every other year. We are definitely going this year. I think I am going to start doing more local posts.

Gifts from Canada

My pen pal in Prince Edward Island, Canada sent me a few pressies today. I got some Lupins seeds & a shield of arms pin. I can't wait to plant the flowers. They look so pretty.
