My Favorite Things

Melissa over at 320 Sycamore is hosting her 2nd annual

Favorite Things Party!

I am joining the fun and sharing a few of my favorite things.

Diet Pepsi is my FAVORITE drink. It is rare that I go a day without one.

A little Malibu Rum, Water, Shake and Freeze. They are ready in no time.
I always have one in the freezer just in case.


I love a great pair of heels. I have this pair just for Pole Fitness classes.*As a side note I am LOVING Pole Fitness. I tell everyone to take a class!

These are the BEST jeans ever! They are the NY & Co Curvy Bootcut.

They are the perfect fit! Plus I can wear them with my heels.

One of the gifts I am giving this year is the gift of Caffeine!

I am giving a few Starbucks gift cards in my mini wallets this year. Starbucks has other things than coffee so it is a versatile gift. Heck you can even buy CD's their.

I am LOVING Straight No Chaser!

I have seen them in concert twice this year and I am hoping to go one more time for the holiday concert in a few weeks.

The holiday cd is a mix of classic and originals.
You may remember me posting some of their stuff last December.

With winter here Bath & Body Works Watch Your Mouth is my all time FAV lip balm.

I have been wearing since I worked their 10 years ago and can't live without it!

A few of my Other Fav's are:

Dove Dark Chocolate

Nike Flip Flops

MAC Lipstick

Now it has been a while since I have done a give away so here we go.

I will be sending one person a few of the items above just for leaving a comment on 3 of your favorite things.

I will draw a winner on Dec 1st.

Be sure to check out some of the other favorites over at 320 Sycamore.

E-mail Issues

For those of you getting SPAM from me I am sorry. I am one of over 100,000 accounts through Hotmail that have been hacked.

I have filed with them so they know I am one of the accounts. I have done all of the preventative measures they have suggested. At this point hotmail has said that my e-mail list is gone and I can't get it back. I will let you know that I have changed my password many times in the last few months. Today I also removed my signature line.

At this point if you receive an e-mail from me that has a blank subject line it is SPAM and not really from me. Don't open it.

One Man's Trash

I am asking for some help. If you are local for me I am needing some ice cream containers with the lift off lids. Like Breyers or Schwans rectangle containers. I am also needing some Pringle chip tubes. I am needing about 20 ice cream containers and same with the chip tubes. I need them by December 20th. Please let me know if you can help me out.

Time Flies

I am not sure what we have been doing. I will hit some of the highlights for you all.

I was invited to share a table with a friend at her son's school Fall Carnival, to sell some things I have made. I am also making stuff to have a spot at a Holiday boutique in Linden December 11th. I am VERY excited for that one. I have been working on stuff for that.

I also finished the SoCal HHR donation quilt for this year. It was raffled off last weekend. I got it done start to finish in 5 days! It was CRAZY! I lost the pattern and had to make it up on my own. Then the drive to deliver the quilt ended up having to back out do to a family emergency. At the last minute 7pm on Wednesday I got a new driver. It was delivered to him at noon at a freeway off ramp.

I have been going to Booty Camp. It has been a bazaar experience. The final week of camp 2 of the classes were cancelled. We extended the camp a week. Then we were to do our final weigh in and measurements last Thursday and our leader forgot everything. So now we are adding another day. It is getting harder to go. It is about 40 degrees in the morning and we are working out in the park, it is windy. I have enjoyed doing Booty Camp and I am thinking of doing it again in the spring.

Delaney has lost a tooth and another one is loose. Yes she is only 4. I did check with a friend in the dental field and she said it is normal. Her adult teeth are already coming through before the baby teeth get loose.

Daphne has had the flu twice, I think it was from her flu shots. She is too little to get it in one dose so she got 2 halves a month apart. In between the flu she had a bad head cold. She now has 2 teeth and is trying to walk. She is extremely independent and a daredevil.

Scott has been sicker than a dog this past 7 days. He worked 2 half days and was out the rest of the time. He did go to the medic a few times and at one point was hospitalized. He was given MANY bags of saline, one day he got 7 total. Yesterday he was able to work a whole day and eat a few things, toast and applesauce, without throwing up. They do have something going around on the base.

I have been sewing but I can't share what they are yet. Soon.

Happy Veteran's Day!
