After The Snow Melted Everyone Stared--

After it snowing for 3 days straight, I thought the snow would stick around for awhile! No, it rained and rained melting away all the snow. I guess I was  alittle excited to try my new winter boots and why do I care people were looking at me funny because there wasn't any snow on the ground and I'm ready for a blizzard? 

Instead I sloshed my way into the police station to pay a ticket! ugh...I guess my son comes by it honestly...lead foot and all.

I know that pictures with the background being my trash can isn't exactly glam photography but sometimes you just gotta work with what cha got!

DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAY, SCOLL DOWN!

Missonish ZigZag Bangle For You--Win It!

While out and about, taking my daughter and her BFF shopping we ran across a store called Roses. We had never been there before and decided to check it out. Well it's a discount store that is the size of nearly two football fields packed to the gills with overstock from Kohl's,Target,old navy etc...I was like a kid in a candy store considering I bought a grey ruffled neckline wool coat with a cute back bow holding the belt in place for 31.00 and 25% off that! The brand is Therapy which I believe is a Kohl's brand.

We found some really great deals and I was in a generous mood. So I snatched up a few bangles and then had the idea that I should give one away on my blog.

I'm not sure if it is Missoni for Target or not but it is a really pretty bangle. It fit over my man hands so I know it will fit everyone else that might enter to win it. The nice feature about it other than the colors,zigzag and sparkle is the fact that one side is narrower than the other so on and off is a breeze.

So if you'd like a chance to win and your odds are pretty good considering I have only 19followers. Then enter!

TO WIN: Just leave a comment on this post about how you would style it & be a follower of mine either bloglovin or google friend connect. Contest ends Monday 23,2012

Hope you enter!

Dress or be dressed--

I decided to change up my routine a little and STOP being so comfortable. I believe with change comes realization. To me it doesn't have to be major changes just small ones to get myself out of the ruts I tend to create for myself. So I took inspiration from Madam0wl.blogspot.com and tried something I've always wanted to do but never had. Well...I actually went covertly to check things out first, to scan the scene, to get a feel for things...see, I want to sell my veggies, eggs, and even chickens at the farmers market but I'm not comfortable meeting lots of new people or doing new things. So I hauled the 4 amigos (kids)  with me (with promises of the dreaded MALL later) and we check out the local farmers market that runs Friday,Saturday,Sunday. I bought two free range, organic,dressed chickens that are at this very moment in my smoker getting a nice Hickory smoke. This seems like whats the big deal? I just think the people selling at some of the Farmers markets get very competitive. Perhaps it's because this is their only income? to put food on their table? But then again I could use my little profits to put food on my table too.

The next thing I did to step out of my comfort zone is join two groups. One is about raising poultry and they meet up and have tours etc. The other group is "Babes in the Woods" a group of 300 local Ohio women who get together and horseback,zip line,cave tour, hike, kayak etc...all about adventure and discovering the outdoors. The first new member meet up is the 21st. I've already paid my dues so I hope I don't chicken (pardon the pun) out and not attend. I asked about bringing my daughter and you have to be 18. I do want to spend outdoor time and have alone time with her (which I do) but also I think I need to cut the strings somewhat and STOP being so comfortable. I need to reach out and meet other women, make new friends  and have some adventure in my life!
