A day for snuggling..

It's gray, drizzly, dreary and cold out. A perfect day to snuggle up with your husband, or wife, or boyfriend, girlfriend what ever. But see'ns how mine is over in the big sandbox known as the Middle East right now that aint a gonna happen here. I tell ya his being in the Navy is really putting a kink in my romantic daydreams right now!

So what is a girl to do????

Head down to the Virginia Wine Festival in this mess!! Oh yeah baby, I'm a glutton for punishment. But hey if Big Daddy isn't here to keep me warm, a nice bottle of Merlot will! I'm sure Hot Chick will keep me entertained for hours! She is really good at that. I swear if I could put her on a stage, I'd make millions!

So with that said, I'm headed off to work then I'm going down to Towne Pointe Park, Norfolk VA for the festival. I'll post some pix tomorrow. After I clean up the ton of mud Jake and Stevie Ray tracked into this house.

Love and Hugs!!

Bec

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVIE RAY

Happy Birthday to my beloved Shabeagle (that's a German Shepherd/Beagle Mix)! He is 13 today! Stevie you are the best puppy anyone could ask for and down deep, don't tell your Daddy or Jake, it will always be You and Me verses the World.

After you take your nap, of course!

All our love,

Mommy, Daddy and even Jake Robert.

I have neglected you

I have neglected my little blog since I got home. The yard and house are progressing, my weight loss not so much. :) I have been suffering with a slipped disk in my back so that makes exercising a no go! But that slipped disk has not stopped me, slowed me down a bit, but not stopped me.

I still have roses blooming which is absolutely amazing to me and I have planted some pansies in the window boxes. The garden pond is now finished and I can't wait for spring to put in pond plants and get the deck all ready!

I have not idea why the planter is bulging in the middle.

I have done some thrifting, but I'm still going through boxes and trying to figure out what way I want to the house to go. My inspiration is just not there right now. For some reason it just came together in Maine, here, I'm at a stand still. Big Block. I have to wonder if it's because Big Daddy is gone and right now my house is still a house and not yet a home. He is the one who makes it a home. I really have not done any baking or cooking. Again with the "it's just me, why bother" thing. Oh how I miss that man! Enough with the pity party already, Bec.

Oh don't feel sorry for me, my girlfriends have been keeping me super busy. I was at the SERTOMA Fall Bash this past weekend and I have the Wine Festival this weekend. I don't know what I would do with out these incredible women in my life! I guess I'm making up for all the time in ME that I could not be with them now. But I'm making a vow that next weekend is all about the house and yard..After Little Bec's birthday that is!!

Love and Hugs

Bec
