love that dress!

did you used to watch that show?!
Latoya Jackson comes in at 4:45. then it loses sound after rocky. wasn't that a good way to start your saturday?! craaaazy. anyway….. it was $9.10 and it said FIRM. now our kitchen has a turquoise mirror for checking your hair before school.. it's magic. i can't resist.
sorry if your eyes are burning. Where did you find that cute red purse? I am looking for one just like that:) Your mirror is a shocking pop of color! I love it but I completely lack the creativity to come up with stuff like that. 🙁 It looks great. Solid Gold Dancers…ha! I love the mirror. Pretty. I have a hall mirror with book pages decoupaged on it. 🙂 thought I should come clean…the pics of your kitchen are in my “fantasy kitchen” folder on my computer…. luv luv the mirror! you look gorgeous in the ikea cupcake apron!! 🙂 love it. i cant believe my mom let me watch this! hahahahahahha! is it from the antique store just passed the train tracks?? if so, that’s cheap for that place! 🙂 the mirror looks great and really pops in the kitchen. nice find! Just wondering what kind of paint you used on the mirror? My favorite on Solid Gold was the muppet, Madame. Hehe. Love that mirror. I’m going to paint a chair that color today. The mirror is perfect! We were not allowed to watch Solid Gold..unless mom wasn’t around and then dad would turn it on:-) HAHAHAH……now I understand why. My sister and I would go out in the garage and make up our own Solid Gold moves…I am sure you want to see them right now!!!! i used to watch this show religiously but i totally must have blocked it all out of my memory. was every episode this bad? surely. but how could i not remember just how bad it was????!! I forgot about that show completely until you showed it today. I watched it every week, like one of the other posters I too was from a 4-channel no cable household. I remember the really thin dancer with the black hair down to her waist, she always got the solo dances, I guess she was their “best”. Funny, if it was on today, I think my girls would love it, and I’d be worried that the dancers didn’t have enough clothes on! i love the color!! I noticed your counter tops in the kitchen are always shiny and have alot of reflection.Could I ask you what you spray on them to keep them that way. Evidently I told my kindergarten teacher that all I needed in life was my parents and Solid Gold. My babysitter loved it. ahahha! love the mirror AND love the solid gold flashbacks! who didn’t watch that show? how the heck else were we supposed to know how to dance to The Reflex? LOL! That was too funny! Oh THAT show..we got it here too in Australia…words really fail me except to say, I love Latoyas glittery headband….. Ah, nevermind. I see now… Waffle treats. 😀 I love your kitchen and I adore the mirror! Ok, I have to ask… is that a huge jar full of gummy worms? Awesome. It’s amazing what your eyes can see!! No pun intended. 😉 I don’t have the gift of looking at something as it is, and seeing it as it could be. Meg, I love the turquoise color. Oh, and your leopard cane back chair. And that red purse. And the subway tile & black granite countertops with the white cabinets. Ok, it’s just weird how much we have in common. loved solid gold, sister and I would gather round and watch it weekly! the spandex body suits, the dance moves, it was fabulous! I would totally have passed over that frame and though ugh, who wants that? But then you painted it turquoise and its gorgeous! I love the color scheme in your kitchen, the pops of red and turquoise are perfect. I LOVED that show!!! My sister and I would LEAP off the footstools in our living room. I also love the mirror, by the way….you always have such good taste! Love the turquoise mirror with the red EAT…they are my wedding colors! I love, love, love your mirror. that mirror is not only magic it is perfect! Nice touch. Oh my goodness love your mirror. I’m really into decorating with grey and white right now, but I love how you use color in your home. Such a fun post! And I thought Beyonce was an original, turns out the leotard and booty, hip shake have been done before;-) Love the mirror – very fun! Now I am going to be looking for one I can paint orange and hang in our kitchen. HAHAHA!! I LOVED that show when I was 7, thats what I wanted to be was a SOlid Gold dancer…nice! And yep now it does seem really dirty, especially for the time. Off to copy some more…. 😉 love the mirror! fantastic!! love that mirror. what a great project! Great project! What color and type of paint did you use? I love that mirror!!! Ugh! At your antiques store, it says $9.10 FIRM. At mine, it would have said $29.10 FIRM. Antiques in CA are so $$$! My sis bought that same mirror at a flea market already painted turquoise and it was $40. Ah well, I guess it’s marked up to make up for the ocean view 🙂 That is SO awesome! The mirror… I haven’t watched the video yet. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the frame! Whoda thunk it?!!! Your Nice score, Meg! I’m off to do some garage sale-in’ myself! the mirror looks GREAT in your kitchen! Hmmm… the 80’s. Delicious. This is why I LOVE visiting your blog….a darling turquoise mirror re-do AND Solid Gold…all in one post! Thanks for a laugh this morning!! 🙂 We used to tell our daughter (who is now 28) that she could be anything she wanted when she grew up EXCEPT a Solid Gold dancer. whoa. there was a whole lotta shakin going on there. and I’m not sure it was good. 🙂 Oh my – yes! I wanted to be a Solid Gold Dancer, doncha know. And we were just trying to explain to the kids the other day about American Bandstand…..they didn’t get it. The mirror turned out great, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the videos! I watched that show every weekend and loved every minute of it…apparently I still do. 🙂 Your blog is awesome and I can’t wait for every new post. I have one question that maybe didn’t make your list, or maybe I missed it…is Talby a family name, or just something unique that you and hubby came up with? I’ve never heard it before (my son’s name is Guerin-sounds like Darren-so I hear that all the time), but I love it! LOVE your painting apron! I need one… Love you posts. You are an inspiration and you always put a smile on my face. The mirror is great and I LOVE your kitchen! oh meg! every time i see your kitchen, i literally swoon. and of course, i love the mirror! 1. do you think solid gold is a clash of american idol/so you think you can dance 80s style?! LOve the turquoise with the red letters and red purse! Yay! hahahahahaha! i used to want to be a solid gold dancer! ugh! they are dirty! love your mirror! I kind of hope the $9.10 seller happens upon this post and sees that you “ruined” her fancy gold mirror by PAINTING it TURQUOISE! Can’t you just imagine that she found the goldness and the glitziness to be the very best part? “This mirror is GOLD! I won’t take a dime less than $9.00. No, $9.10!” WOW! Love it!!!!! Awesome mirror, great color choice! Looks fantastic! I have the same apron! Love it! I have that same mirror, sadly it’s gold but it’s been by the front door for years now and it’s what we use for that last minute check your teeth/hair/whatever before you leave. I like your color better. The mirror looks great! I love your kitchen! The video…not so much! ;D LOL Love the videos, Solid Gold was a must watch back then…what were we thinking?? Clara saw some of the first song on the Solid Gold clip and said very seriously “That’s ridiculous! Look at their clothes!” I especially liked Latoya’s one black glove, but was bummed I couldn’t hear “Let’s Hear it for the Boys”. Great mirror! I love turquoise and red together. I still love all those songs on Solid Gold… is that bad!? Love the POP of the mirror! awesome! i love the mirror, and the EAT letters, and that chair…swoon! Cute mirror. Gorgeous bag!! Hi-Larry-Us! And love the mirror. It’s perfect right there. And it happens to be my favorite color. Very awesome tribute to you on Farmgirl Paints. She’s right ya know, you’re pretty awesome! I LOVE that color. I have several cans of a beautiful turqoise that I’m having t restrain myself from using….everywhere. Great look for that mirror. It just fits perfectly with your absolutely delightful kitchen. I love the colors in your house — very energizing. I loved the video… I was a newly-wed so I could watch if I wanted and I did!! I was a fresh college grad but secretly wanted to be one of those dancers… skanky dancing!haha Thanks for the re-live I loved it. Love the mirror too. One of my favorite colors, just below my fav PINK. You are too funny! I remember Solid Gold being so cool when I was a little kid! Your mirror turned out beautifully! It always amazes me what a can of paint can do. Have a great weekend! Ok, thanks for the morning laugh!!! 1981…I would have been 8 yrs old and when someone asked me what I wanted to be it was “a solid gold dancer!” Now I see why I had to fight with mom to watch that show-lol. They do seem a little risque’ now, eh? The risers they used to dance on look like the old planters from our mall we used to sit on before they remodeled in the 90’s-lollllll. That is so cute! I love, love, love the punches of aqua and red. It is such a fun retro color combo!!! Now I just have to hunt down a fun mirror to paint!! Oh man, those gals can move! The Adam Ant one cracked me up. I remember watching this all the time, we loved it! love the mirror! maybe new baby and i need to go thrifting today and leave the big kids home with dad. 🙂 ditto Tara!! Thanks for the laugh!! Awesome mirror!! What color paint is that? and this is why i come to your blog every.single.day. I loved the solid gold dancers when I was a kid! In fifth grade, when hair bows on a clip were popular in my school, I got a bright gold one just so I could pretend I was a solid gold dancer. Ahhhh good times. Love the mirror in your pretty and clean kitchen! Loved the video! Sometimes I like to blare reruns of Casey Kassum shows(Sp?) in my kitchen on Saturdays, (They play it on the 70’s channel on xm) I am totally dating myself!! I love to hear him say “Now here’s a new song from a young man, Mr. Bruce Springsteen” I close my eyes and I am young again too!! Until I hear Mommy, Mommy, Mom Mama Ma Mommy and I am Back! great redo! looks super duper cute in your already super duper cute kitchen Will check out the video’s later, as I do remember Solid Gold, lol. Your mirror is fab. But Solid Gold? Now THAT brought back some even more fabulous but embarrassing memories. What were we thinking back then?!?!?! What a gorgeous mirror! I LOVE how it looks in your kitchen (: Oh, my! Cute cute cute. Love the colour, love the idea. Just curious what kind of paint you are using. I have some gold gilt frames I want to paint but wasn’t sure if a regular can of leftover paint would do the job? Oh my eyes! The googles, they do nothing! I love it! My kitchen has recently been painted in a similar color scheme!
then i got married on her birthday! years later when i was visiting her with a bunch of my little kids….she served us dinner at her house. this is what you will need: mix all the ingredients except 1/2 c. milk, cornstarch and ham.
when it’s all combined in a saucepan….add the ham.
after 15 – 20 minutes add the cornstarch to the milk until it’s dissolved. serve it hot over spaghetti or egg noodles.
my kids love this. happy birthday lynette!
oh and it’s still my anniversary too. to celebrate we are going to light 24 candles that sparkle like stars. ha. we have the weekend all alone…..no kids.

I love photography too and hopefully someday it will be more than just a hobby. Is that a labradoodle you have? I have one. Love your house. Oh my, it is beautiful. So my question is how do you edit if you don’t use photoshop yet? I have PSE8 and it is a bit overwhelming. I can do a few things, but I have so far to go. Anyhow, just wanted to say hi. Happy Anniversary! We recently celebrated our 23rd ~ time flies when you’re having fun!!!! Happy Anniversary! Ah! Congratulations! Enjoy every second of your kid-free time. Xxx Happy Anniversary!! No kids?! Sounds like trouble 🙂
good times. —————————————————————————————————————————— 1. what kind of floor cleaner do you use on your hard wood? nothing else works for me.
i like maps and globes. most of the color in our house is the same colors as those on maps and globes. 3. where did you get that granny square afgan?
then two – three coats of Behr Ultimate White semi gloss paint.
from Katie at The Wheatfield.
should i go on?
YES.
i use it most of the time because i am most comfortable with it.
i don't even know.
it's a journey.
and….i don't like school. but if you are a school mom….GOOD FOR YOU!! :) YOU ARE AWESOME.
now i wait until they are in school and then i go. this much i know….
i have not perfected this and don't feel legit but i am doing it.
i stink at that. 22. how do you have such a strong faith? this deserves a whole post. 23. have you ever made a blog book through blurb? no….but i would like to.
HECK YEAH!!! when i feel it creepin' in….i usually whine to craig or my friends first. life is hard but it is so good. "whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy….think on these things" oh boy…..i am sorry for how long i talked your ear off. :) i have a recipe for you tomorrow. [url=”http://www.jerseys-wholesale-nfl.com/mlb-jerseys?zenid=1d8c57164289bb310ce67ba8982dc3a0″]nfl jerseys league[/url] i just bought “The Wild Air” picture from the wheatfield last week. giving it to lani for her birthday. hoping to find a cute, ornate used frame and paint it. thanks for introducing me to her etsy shop!! ha! i wanted to be a fly girl too! Hi, it’s me again! I’m not stalking you, just found your blog and reading through it! Love it! I love people like you that tell it like it is! Thanks for your honesty. Great running answer! I’m still trying to get to the running part, mostly walking, but I will get there. Thanks for sharing!! I LOVE YOU MEG ! Someone actually asked you how you bore people? Of all the blogs I read, yours is so amazing and interesting. I love your pictures and blogs!! Good stuff! Love your blog! I mss you…that’s all…why can’t I find a friend here like you? So lovely to discover you via Becky’s post! Love it when you answer questions. I love that you are afraid to load Photoshop on your computer! When I bought my MacBook I didn’t take it out of the box for a week…lol. I’ve bought two prints from Katie at the Wheatfield. Thanks so much for the tip. Oh bubble wrap! My kids split it up from packages and GO TO TOWN! Thanks for sharing and answering so many questions! You rock! #26 – really? That wasn’t a real question, was it? No way! Your “questions answered” and random thoughts posts are the best! whoever wrote question 26 is a poo poo head… Where do you find that floor cleaner? I searched and all I can find is information about ordering it online…but I want it TODAY! lol! That is seriously one of the funniest things I have ever read. Seriously. I don’t like school. Super fun. This is my first time by. Becky from Farmgirl Paints talked about you today. I will be back. You should totally load photoshop on your computer. Then go to the pioneer woman and download her free action sets. It’s like picnik.com on steriods. Then you’ll be obsessed with action sets and buy a zillion of them. You’ll go broke on them, but you’ll be happy. Everything I know about photoshop I have found using tutorials for free online. It’s hard to start but soo worth it. Thanks for being real – It is great to read about your life not just the good stuff but the real stuff that happens everyday – Your blog makes me smile! Thanks for sharing Megan 🙂 I just popped over and order that Be Kind to Others….she was out of the 8 x 10 the last time I looked and today…she has it!! YAY!!!! i heart your thoughts : ) I love your honesty and your blog! I read it every day (or whenever you post – I’m not a creeper who comes by and rereads everything 🙂 ). Thanks for sharing your heart and your thoughts with the rest of blogger world! I appreciate you!!! I love your honesty, cracks me up and makes me think. Thanks! I need to find the motivation to run. You make me smile and Starbuck’s pumpkin spice lattes are out :)! Love your blog. I needed that book reference today, I’m sad about my teen!! Hopefully this will help. Fun answers to all. That for all the answers you are not boring. I look forward to reading your post daily and when it has not changed yet, I get bummed. Also, I just started to learn to run on a FREE program called “Couch to 5k”. It is what you talked about doing a little at a time. I am going on week 1 day 3 tomorrow. So far so good. Thanks I just love this post – full of everything!!! Wonderful!!! Have a happy day!!! Today is my first visit to your blog. Becky at Farmgirl Paints blogged about you today so I’m visiting. Love it! You mentioned a book on parenting teens. I just dropped my daughter off for her freshman year at college (**small sniffle**), and there was a similar book that helped me through the really tough teen times. If you’re looking for another one with practical advice, check out: Yes, Your Teen is Crazy! by Michael J. Bradley. Didn’t bore me! And, I wanted to tell you that I might be printing off a picture of your to take to my hair stylist in a few weeks. I’m getting some color added (finally) and I love the funky style with chunky hi-lites. Hope you don’t mind… and if you do please let me know. Hi Meg…I came over to say hi from Becky’s (Farm Girl Paints)…love your blog, I can tell what a great mom you are to your beautiful family. I have 8 kids and we did lots of projects too. Love all your photography too…awesome blog! Come say hi 😀 Meg, you are a beautiful photographer. So creative. LOAD PHOTOSHOP! You will LOVE it once you understand the tools. Here is a website to help you get started: Authentically you. 🙂 Megan, Was #26 a REAL question???? I love your thoughts! We are bestest friends and you don’t even know me!!! Love reading your blog – your fun, and REAL, and NORMAL… not easy to find!!! Meg: Thanks for sharing your life with the world. Your blog makes me smile! Tricia Oh how I love your answer to #14. You took the words right out of my mouth. Have you tried the Nike+ for running? It is about $30, and it will sync with your ipod. It tracks how far you run, your pace, how many calories you burn…you download the info and can track it online. You can set different goals. I run (when it is convenient….and not too hot in Texas), and this is the only thing that helps keep me going. Enjoyed reading. thanks for sharing 🙂 If I lived in Kansas… I would want to be your friend 🙂 I guess after writing that we could be friends no matter the distance! You are NOT boring! I love your blog and your honesty as I can relate to so much of it! Keep being you Meg! Jody B. HELLooooo I’m not a school mom either. Sometimes I feel bad about it, no actually I don’t really ever feel bad about it. But I felt I should say that. Love the bubble wrap…my boys did that yesterday LOL! LOL, I should know better than to ask you your favorite U2 song! I have never been able to have just one either. It’s for sure a top 5 kind of question. Have you ever seen the movie High Fidelity? You and Craig might like it if you ever get a chance to see it. And, it takes place in Chicago. I love your answer to no.14. I only have 2 kids, but going up to school for more than the occasional holiday party is just not going to happen. My younger one is distracting and it makes the day shorter. I did not even want to help on the days she was in school because those 3 hours were precious time in which I was able to check email, clean without the mess following me, or grocery shop. I also hated school and feel strange at my children’s schools. I feel like such a fraud!! lol makes me smile! #24 so real! Whatever is NEVER boring! Thanks for sharing. Oh and I almost forgot. I blogged about you today;) We have bubble wrap on our floor right now and I’ve been too lazy to pick it up. Every now and then the girls will walk on it and scare the crap out of me. That last question, was that Lauren…?! Love these questions and answers Meg! Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I have a question for you. How is your progress going on your Birthday year list. I believe it was 35 things to do before 35. Just wondering because I have the same birthday as you. I think this year I may make one of those lists. favorite answers: #22- AMEN!!! ok this post brought me to tears. especially the jesus part. i want to be a mom just like you! so inspirational and motivating!! I can’t wait to try out another one of your recipes! 🙂 I love posts like this – thanks for allowing us a peek in your world and for being real about it. I love your transparency. i l O V E popping bubble wrap! love your humility and your honesty. it’s what keeps us all coming back. 🙂 it wasn’t boring. i loved all of this. so fun. 🙂 love it Meg! You are fab! darn…i must clarify always love it when waffle makes it into your posts! I love these answer posts! Hi Meg!! i love you and your love for the Lord and your sense of humor. hahahha love it! we could soooo have coffee or wine or cocktails… any chance of visiting Australia????? You make me feel normal! xx 🙂 You make me smile! Go Meg!

Not sure if the 3 year old would paint the rainbow, but she could sure try! I love it! its very pretty!! Very Cute idea! We made one similiar on the 4th of July. I like the rainbow one best though….might have to steal this idea 🙂 wishing my paints weren’t packed right about now! Love this! What is the name of the granite on your kitchen counter top?

Mandy Allbritton - I love your blog – can’t remember how I came about it?! But I have the same running shoes. I love the Brooks Ravenna! And your choice of other shoes are awesome!
The colors in you photos are amazing. I love reading your sweet blog-
Sara @ It's Good to be Queen - wow, you’re shoes are so orderly. mine are in a huge pile that i have to dig through on my closet floor. i’m beginning to not believe you when you say you are not clean. just sayin’. . .
j - you lock your make up? I don’t know if you watch Real Housewives of DC (or admit to it!). Um, I don’t, I was just flipping channels one night, anyway, a girl on there has a lock on her closet to keep her 20 yr old out. I couldn’t believe it but then mine isn’t old enough for that to be a problem.
jennifer - Too Funny!
Lorilee - I could only walk in one of those pairs of shoes!
Blessings,
Lorilee
heather - agreed…that’s a lot of heels! i have a closet of flip flops and then the oddball running shoes & heels! 🙂
in the hush of the moon - love the shoes… new here, visiting from farmgirl paints… i am an artist and love your work, your colors, your photos, your faith… i might stick around for awhile, friend.
Juli - Sesame Street song…were we all just that dumb back then because that is such a no-brainer, even for my 2 yr old. How could we have possibly found that entertaining?!
Tracy - ohhh I have shoe envy….love the shoes (from what I can see) they look so cute and fun! My fav kind.
kristine - *er, they hurt my feet just looking at THEM not ME! too late to be typing i guess…going to bed (unusual since it’s ONLY 10pm). hope you’re having a great holiday weekend!
kristine - cute shoes. you’re def rockin the heels! they hurt my feet just looking at me. but since i switched to wedges this season, i’m much more comfortable. you asked, right?! that was a long song for figuring out which one was not like the others…funny 🙂
Jen - You have some sassy shoes, girlfriend!
Love the retro video clips this week!
bobbie - that is the exact opposite of my closet. Twenty pairs of sneakers with one pair of heels.
Dineen - You are just too funny with your You Tube videos!! I remember this song! Thanks for making me laugh the past two days. I really, really needed it! : )
jeanne - What is wrong with that dress???:-)
Lisa - Are those all your heels??? 🙂 I’m impressed if they are cause my shoes would look the opposite. Lots of flats and tennis shoes with 1 pair of heels! I’m not very fun in that way!
Holly - lol…too funny
Julie - Yeah, not like the others, but you need the one to look great in the others! 🙂
chasity - cute.
anna. - I sing that all the time and crack myself up! Love it!
Gabi - Hi Meg,
I just found your blog, love it.
Great picture 🙂
Janie Fox - I wore a rust dress almost exactly like that when I worked at a local chicken restaurant during high school summers..It was our uniform.Yikes!! Hated that job and that dress!!
Kimberlee J. - Which one of these is doin’ it’s own thing????
GREAT pic!
linda@limein the coconut - Hmmmmm. Give me another minute…I’ll figure it out……
