My BFF.

Ok, so it's been another long spell since I've been blogging. My bad - again. Remember this photo?:





















Well it still applies. But not necessarily in a bad way. I've been working in the office for the past couple of months (I usually work from home) and I've been doing two + jobs at the same time which is challenging but I'm actually having a blast. The office is so much fun, lots of laughs and good things happening. I'm making some new friends along the way which is always a good thing.

I'm also doing some work with FORCE. Wish I could do more but I can only do so much - so I keep telling myself. My goal is to in the next few months have freed up some of my time to really devote some serious time to FORCE. Fingers crossed! Having said that I did just get done writing a short article to acknowledge their 10 year anniversary. 10 years - wow! The article focused on what FORCE has meant to me and about Previvor. Although it only a short article one would think I was writing a novel with how long it took me to pull it all together. Obviously, from my blog postings, I'm not a writer at heart!

To add to my list of to do's, I'm also gearing up in my mind to carve out time to work on a design portfolio and study for some testing I want to take, design wise. Really getting excited about this. Things that have been swirling in my head for a long time are finally coming together and I'm putting together some missing pieces. Still a long road ahead but one I'm starting to move on which is very exciting.

I'm now, today, getting ready for Thanksgiving. Have some wonderful people coming to our home, specifically My BFF:













She's the one on the left for those not in the know.

I got to spend some quality time with her last night which was so much fun. We met at the mall, had a couple glasses of wine and shopped. I was able to secure a great birthday present for dh, something I've been searching for and haven't been able to find (can't share in case he is reading - will share later). We discussed Thanksgiving and how she is going to come early to help and spend the night. We are going to play games and hang out. I can't wait!!
I have a lot to complete before then so Ibetter get going. I'm slowly starting to hyperventilate (did I spell that right?) as all of a sudden a million to do's have started popping up in my mind. So, on that note, I'd better go! If I don't *talk* to everyone before then Happy Thanksgiving! I'm going to leave you with this idea:


I wish I had the nerve to try this (accomplished by strategically placing pieces of aluminum foil molding appropriately). Let me know if anyone has the nerve - and share pictures! LOL.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Yum.



Isn't he pretty? I pumped up the colors with photoshop for fun. Took this with my iPhone, in a hurry, so it's not the best but I wanted to try to capture this little guy. His actual color and *design* on the side of his shell was very inspiring to me. I'm thinking these colors might be what I'm needing for my bedding in our master bedroom. Funny where inspiration will hit you! So, after admiring him for a bit I ate him. Yep, sure did. And, with no guilt. He was yum!

We were invited to 21st Annual Crawfish Boil put on by the St. Louis chapter of the LSU Alumni Association. Too much fun! I have always wanted to do a crawfish boil but I didn't know how to eat them. Had heard horror stories. Yuck. But, dh and I got into it. And, there is a process one must follow to ensure you get your share. Table must be clear, best with lots of newspapers layered on the table. Guests must stand back and cheer loudly when the man carrying the HUGE dripping pots of yum comes by. If you get his attention he will dump a good amount from the pot in the middle of the table. Then it's up to you to get in there and grab your crawfish, corn, hotdogs/sausage, onions and/or garlic that you want to eat. No plates. Lots of papertowels and spray butter. Yum! Fun! Must. do. it. again! Seriously thinking of trying this at home.

You know there's something liberating about being at a function where table manners are not encouraged.

Thanks St. Louis chapter for a great night. Hope to see you next year!

A weeks worth of posts (photos) in one.

I've been horribly busy and haven't had a chance to even think about blogging this week. I was going to do one long post to make up for my lack of content but it's not letting me add all the photos I wanted to. As a work around I'm going to have to do a couple different posts. So, here goes with the first one. It's a photo of the picture frame I "tweaked" that I think I made reference to in a previous post. Our neighbors were moving (great people!) and we had a culd-e-sac photo in front of their home. I found the frame at HomeGoods (great store!) and changed it around a bit. I like how it turned out considering I used supplies I had on hand:



Here's a close-up of the top portion. My first rub-on directly on a photo. Love how it turned out!



Here's a close-up of the bottom portion - sorry it's a bit blurry. Dh wasn't crazy about the placement of the "S" but I just told him to Think Outside the Box and get over it .
