Mommy & Me Monday (Flashback)

This pic was taken at Topsfield fair in October 2011. We didn't get to go to this fair this year. Today was the last day. We will definitely go next year.

Stuff & Things Sunday

Stuff & Things

*I've been kind of obsessed with watching You tube videos lately. It just motivates me & I like that. I look forward to seeing that 1 of my fave You tubers did a new video. Of course there are times where I check the title & if it isn't something that I'm interested in, I will skip watching it. Just because we like the person doesn't mean that we are going to love every video that they do. Some of my fave You tubers are Hollie Eats Lipstick, Jessica Braun, Samantha March, Taylor Nicole Dean, Kathleen Lights, Cheap Crafty girl, But 1st Coffee, Coffeebreak with Dani, Madison Miller, Love Meg, Amy Lee, Beauty & the Beastons & lots more.

*I'm sick of Fall, football & hearing about pumpkin spice. I don't like any of those 3 things.

*Not sure if I'm dressing up for Halloween. Probably just cat ears & some cool cat make up. I usually go out for a little while & then Anthony goes out.

*I'm glad that Jason is back on General hospital, but not sure how that whole story is going to play out.

*I wish there was school tomorrow. No mail either. She had Friday off too. Such a long day.

New England Minute~Vermont

We went to Vermont today. We ended up leaving late, so it seemed like we had to rush a bit. It seems like everything in Vermont closes early. The stores close around 5:30-6. We got there at 4:00, so not much time. I got some post cards, earrings & some chocolate. I think this is our last trip for this year.

This pic below, we were driving. That's why it looks like a flash of color.

This is the Quechee Gorge.

Nail Files. Week # 318

This color looks a lot different on than in the bottle. Maybe you have to do like 5 coats. I did 3 coats. I thought it was more of a purplish pink. But it look pretty much just pink on. It's still pretty, just not what I was looking for.

October Goals

                                        

I can't believe that it's already October. I'm hoping at some point this month things will slow down, but we have my parent's 50th anniversary on 10/13 (Nothing big planned since my Mom doesn't leave the house. I got them a card & we were thinking of mailing them a restaurant gift card if my Mom will leave the house that day. She said she might want to go out, but lots of times changes her mind), Hub's birthday on 10/14 (he has his day all planned out) & then of course Halloween stuff & Halloween. I really want to just do house stuff & not be going every weekend. We might have to wait until November for that. But here are my goals:

October Goals

 1. Catch up on letters a bit. I never really catch up completely, but if I could get it down to 10 or 12 letters that would be great.
2. Make something yummy with the apples we picked.
3. Do a Fall photo shoot of Tara in the leaves. We do this every year.
4. Get an apple crisp chai drink from a local place.
5. Try to sell a few items online.

Mommy & Me Monday

This pic is so colorful. It's from yesterday Apple picking. This was before our friends got there. We waited in the pumpkin patch.

New England Minute~Apple picking

We went apple picking with some friends today. The weather turned out better than I thought it would be.

 Tara really wanted that white pumpkin. She rolled it all the way to the store for them to weigh it, but it was $23, so we didn't end up getting it.

We got so many apples. I will make apple crisp, but also maybe give some away.

Stuff & Things

 Friday:
 The past few days have been pretty busy. Yesterday I went to the eye doc office to give them the new pair of glasses that I got, that weren't working out. The glasses lady was at lunch, so I went all the way to Ulta. I needed It cosmetics cc cream & got 2 China Glaze polishes. Then went back to the eye place. I found another pair of glasses that I like, so they made an appointment for me to have an eye exam. I hadn't had 1 since last December. I left there got gas & went to the post office to mail some letters going to other countries. Then we had to bring Kizmet to the vet for her yearly check up. She did pretty good.
Saturday:
  There were 3 yard sales going on in our neighborhood today. The weather was kind of raw & damp. It did end up raining. But we got 2 end tables, curtains, a mirror, a Mary Higgins Clark book, a blue lantern with a candle holder in it to put a tea light in & a windchime. So we did pretty good. We're pretty much doing our living room over.
  Then tonight we went to my Godmother's son's memorial. My Dad met us there. It was nice to see family that we hadn't seen for years. We use to go to my Godmother's house every Sunday, Thanksgiving & Christmas when I was a kid. Tara met some girls her age & they exchanged e mails & might be facetiming each other. Their Mom was nice & fun too. So we might have a playdate with them sometime. Making new friends is awesome.

Here is a picture of me with my Godmother Marilyn. I was named after her (my middle name). She's 86 & still so funny.

Cozy rooms

Now that the weather is getting cooler I'm thinking of cozy decor, warm fluffy blankets & cuddly pillows. It was 70 degrees today, pretty chilly & it's only going to get worse the next few days. Here are a few cozy looks that I found on Pinterest.
