did you watch it?
i am kind of agonizing about it starting again because i know it’s almost over again!
i am tired of everyone quitting on me.
i read this and then announced i wanted to start over and watch every episode from the beginning.
this show has some crazy stuff but i love the clothes and the time it’s set in for women.
and don.

i saw ashley’s blog post from like a year ago and taught myself how to do this to my hair!
other than it takes longer than putting my hair into a messy bun… i love it.
ALL hairdos (when it’s long-ish) require time.
kind of the bummer about long hair.

i saw this in Better Homes and Gardens a month or so ago.
HOW COOL IS THAT?!
my boys would’ve loooooved this! and me too!
i think it’s so creative.  She even sells them on her site now… cause she’s smart!

i’m craving summer salads with girly drinks while dining outside.
(click on the pictures for the link to the recipes)
they each look delicious!
and i am dreaming about making the backyard nice, decorating it and the deck too.
but my energy level hasn’t caught up to my dreaming level quite yet….

our puppy sitting is still going on.
probably more like a foster care program…

he’s very bitey but he’s fitting in just fine.
he mostly sleeps all the time which is the opposite of stanley at this age.
so what is one more animal… right?
oy veh.

ok…gotta go and watch One Shining Moment.
i may not have watched any of the basketball tournament so far… but i love One Shining Moment.
🙂

 

Allison - I just made that sriracha lime chicken salad for dinner and it was awesome! I need to get caught up on Mad Men, I’m way behind the trends on that one

elisa - Please tell me you are keeping that puppy….

Jennibell - “My energy level hasn’t caught up to my dreaming level” – love it! I can certainly relate….love, love, love the lampshade 🙂

Lisa - Those puppy faces…I can’t stand all the cuteness at once! Love Stanley and puppy cuddling. 🙂

angela - One shining moment is my favorite….especially when my team wins!! Go Duke!

sharon / theprincipledtype.blogspot.com - puppy envy puppy envy puppy envy (and screen salad licking).

that is all.

Kathryn Goertzen - Ha! We must be sisters from some way back generation or something! I slept during the game (had been up super early for a yoga class AND don’t particularly like BB that much if nobody I know is playing) I set an alarm for about the time I thought the game would take. I woke up and 3 minutes were left. Perfect! Watched the ending, ONE SHINING MOMENT, and went back to bed!! Love that One Shining Moment.

Abby - YES!! One Shining Moment is my FAVORITE part of the entire tournament. I may or may not have DVR’d the game last night to watch it.

Wendy - We did go back and watch the whole thing again and it was wonderful! I love MadMen! My fav. I will probably do it again sometime. -Wendy

Megan - “but my energy level hasn’t caught up to my dreaming level quite yet….”

Um, are you in my brain? This describes my whole life right now. sigh. Stop dreaming and start doing stuff (I”m yelling at myself now…)

Michelle Deckert Richmond - I agree with you about The Walking Dead. I would never have thought I would enjoy a show about zombies….but I am hooked. Can’t get enough.

Jen - I am SOOO sad about Mad Men. I love it so much! If you want a fun read about the show, go to the blog “basket of kisses”. It’s fascinating. And if you need something else to watch, try Breaking Bad or House of Cards or The Walking Dead (don’t knock if til you’ve tried it! I learned the hard way on this one!:-)) If you enjoy English TV, try Doc Martin. All so good! And you know what they say about “all good things…….” 🙁

Happy puppy sitting!

melissa stover - i love mad men so much! I don’t know many other fans so it thrills me that you love it too. it is one of the only shows I’ve been able to watch over and over again without tiring of it (besides friends). it’s so layered and the dialogue is so rich. there will never be anything like it.
