Thirsty Thursday.....hang on, its almost the weekend!

its been one of those weeks....School challenges me with my children more than I would like to say..

Of course, none of my sweet cherubs are at fault..Busy running here, running there and all of a sudden I need to apply the brakes..

URCHHHH!!

Quite possibly bathing myself in one of these beautys.. I always did love the smell of vermouth on a Thursday, mmmm..

no olive though..please..those went out with my Finn Patricks pregnancy..

Im salivating looking at this right now..

you care to join me??

Here here to Thirsty Thursday and a nice weekend..

:)

Happy Valentines day, my lovely..

hey, shelly!!

I want to make this mirror..will I? who knows..Im guessing if I write it down it might stick in my head a little longer and I might actually do it..maybe..ha.I still love to look at it after all these years. I would put it out at one of the beach houses, think people would respect it? who knows..all I know is its fran fricking tastic.

Then there is this Miss Heathers fireplace..can you tell I have been roaming around through my blog? I guess having years and years of posts thats a thing you should do every now and then. I loved looking though my posts last night. I have poured my heart and sould out in this thing..I have made some terrific friends along the way, too..Ziemer..Fortner..Crazy Paula..and sweet pregnant Cutzi just to name a few.

Anyhoo..

We have to do some foundation work this summer to the ol 1928 English Tudor we live in..it needs it..It all revolves around the big old brick chimney from the fireplace..and a sill plate, Mac Daddy says..what ever that is..

This means we are going to be taking the bricks down, since we have a gas insert the whole thing really isnt necessary, anyway..I am excited to be doing the work because that means #1 a LEVEL house..which is major.

and #2 a little bit of new decorating going on! 

and no, I will not be covering up the new surround in oyster shell..I will just dream of it. Im afraid I would get so tired of it so quickly.

I have to go out and clean the coastal nest..New visitors are arriving tomorrow for a long weekend. I wish it was us! We never get to stay there anymore..We, however, will be on to an exciting weekend..Ryan has carved a spot out for himself in the Districts Mens Swim finals..who would a guessed it..He will be sprinting like a beast..

50 Free is his race...Im excited and nervous for him. Being a freshman, though..its quite a feat! He has gotten the customary TEAM mohawk and tonight we are going to the hairdressers to get it dyed RED..oh.my...

I will try and take a photo.. He is turning into quite the young man~

take care!

This picture haunts me..
