Want to do a review/giveaway?

Check out my friend Jesse's very cool new website: Bloggerdise!

It's a free way for bloggers to link up with companies that want to offer reviews or giveaways.

Pretty cool!

And speaking of giveaways, this is the last week to enter my Arbonne giveaway, so go do it now!!!

Insane in the membrane

Have you ever looked back on a time in your life and wondered "what was I thinking!?"    It seems like so many moments of clarity have been coming to me lately.  "Ah-ha" moments, as Oprah would say.    It's no surprise that I over-think things, and I'm constantly trying to analyze myself, but it seems like the best moments of clarity have come from the simplest things.   A song, a photograph, a sentence....   It's amazing how perspectives can change in a moment.  

So, for all of the stupid moments in my life, I would like to plead temporary insanity.    

....what was I thinking?!!  

High School Reunion

Oh my.... my 10 year high school reunion is in August.  

So you know what that means.

Better get my butt in gear so I can look good!    

Oh and P.S.  last chance to enter my Arbonne Giveaway!    

Very few entries, so chances are good!

Still an Innocent

A message about letting go, moving on, growing up, and all that good stuff.  To myself and whoever else wants to listen.  

Plus, I just love this song.
.....and apparently have too much time on my hands.

Free Cleaning for Women with Cancer

I just heard about this wonderful organization today called:

They provide free home cleaning for women with cancer.  Isn't that awesome!?   If you know of a woman who could benefit from their services, click on the link above to learn more.

Redecorating

I get to do another review for CSN, yay!  CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from stylish furniture, modern bedding, or great cookware!

We have been working on our house hardcore lately: new roof, new gutters, new windows, finishing our basement, and re-doing just about every room......sheesh... so I've definitely been browsing CSN lately.

In fact, we are re-decorating our bedroom.  I'm painting my walls a dark charcoal color, and my furniture is going to get painted a very high gloss white.    But... I can't decide what to do for bedding.  Here are few options I found on CSN:

I don't know though... this might be too much grey.

I like this one.  Maybe just accent with colorful pillows?

What do you think?   Maybe I should just go with solid white bedding and add color in the pillows?

Decisions, decisions.

I just received some fireplace tools from them that I'll be writing a review on in the next few days, so stay tuned!

Daydreaming and Reading.

I started a new book today, “The Glass Castle.”  Anyone read it before?  I’m only a few pages in, so I hope it continues to keep my attention!
In other news…
Today was a very busy, but exciting day!   I do sales for my parent’s printing company, and today I got a call from one of my customer’s, a popular hotel chain that we do printing for, and they asked for a quote on 500 vehicle wraps!!!!   I’m trying to not get too excited, but I’ve already been dreaming about what I’d do with that commission check.   I can’t help it!   If I get this job the first thing I’m going to do is hire someone to finish our basement, because after 3 years of “working” on it, it’s clear that me and my husband are NEVER going to get it finished!   So I’m holding my breath that I can just hire someone to do it for me, haha.
I’m so proud of my parent’s.   They started the business out of our family room when I was 8 years old, and now we handle national accounts.    It’s really amazing.   I witnessed from a very young age how to be an entrepreneur.  And that is why I am a horrible “employee,” haha.   I have to work on my own time and schedule.  I’m so fortunate that I get to do that, because I would get fired right away if I had to be somewhere at 8 AM every morning!
Anyway, tomorrow I start with my personal trainer.   So, I’m eating a bag of M&M’s as I write this.   Real productive huh?     I should never allow them in my home, they are addictive.   I need to tell my personal trainer that, maybe he can hang them from a string and dangle them in front of me on a treadmill.  …I bet it would work.

Oh yeah, don't forget to enter my Arbonne giveaway!
