Inspired Jewelry

While being sandwiched to my couch for the last several days - stupid cold, I stumbled across Lisa Leonard Designs.

(my heart)

I'm especially in love with the "my heart" necklace. "i hold your heart" by e.e. cummings was read at our wedding so it holds an extra special meaning to me.

(be still)

The "be still" necklace is so whimsical and simple that I think I would wear it everyday. This is a mere sample of the beautiful babbles to be found at Lisa Leonard Designs. Check her out!

...but Starbucks said so!

The holiday season is upon us. You know how I know...the Starbucks red holiday cup is back. So enjoy your first day of the holidays meal (Thanksgiving) in a couple of weeks and get to shopping.

In all seriousness, I love getting my first red cup of the season. This truly is my favorite time of the year. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas - as separate holidays. To me it's the happiest time of the year so bring on the family, good food, friends and lots of shopping!!

Nuggets

Wifey: The nuggets? As in their mascot is a guy running around in a chicken nugget suit?

The Hubs: No the Denver Nuggets - like the gold rush.

Wifey: Nope I think it's they are the chicken nuggets.

The Hubs: You're a chicken nugget.

Wifey: No I'm not.

The Hubs: How do you know?

Wifey: Because I bleed

The Hubs: Then you're an uncooked nugget.

Wifey: That means I'm just raw chicken - that's gross!

What can I say, we have intelligent, mature conversations. P.S. For those of you who don't know, we were watching basketball. ;)

A Special Thank You!!!

To all the men and women that have and are currently serving in the military. As the granddaughter of a Vietnam vet and a Korean vet and the wife of an OIF vet, today has a special meaning to me. Veterans give up so much of their day-to-day life in order to serve our country. I would like to say a very special thank you. I would also like to say how very proud I am of my own sexy man in uniform - the hubs! I love you very much and am so proud of all that you have accomplished.
