Your Personality Cluster is Extraverted Thinking

You are: You are organized and logical - a master at puzzles. You're fiercely competitive in almost any arena of life. You're objective when necessary, but you're passionate about what you truly love. More than anything else, you're intolerant of excuses and incompetence.

What's" Your Personality Cluster?

can we turn back time???

So it's my birthday today and boy do I feel OLD!

I'm never in a good mood when it's my birthday, so I won't even try to pretend that I am. To make matters worse my little 'friend' is in town so am I moody? Ummmm, yeahhhh!

I WISH I was 15...no not 15, 25 would be good.

My restaurant of choice...

Mouthwatering Sangria.

Paella.

Cool window in Portsmouth.

A feast for the eyes.

Cool shot I thought.

Are you kidding, these are up already?

I want this for my front step.

The best birthday presents a girl could want.

Ruby, Stella and I are off to bake a cake!

cheers!

Got home from a busy day to find this sweet email from this lovely lady from Ireland. She sure made my day!

Hi there,

I just wanted to say how delighted I was to receive two beautiful little towels in the post today (yes! already... I could hardly believe it myself). I absolutely love them and everything else in your shop! Congratulations on creating such beautiful things! You are an inspiration.Oh, and happy birthday for tomorrow! Saw it on your Etsy profile. Have a lovely day.

Best wishes,

Judith O'Leary

I've also received a couple of really sweet birthday cards this week...thanks ladies, I'm truly touched!

Mel, Mom and I are off to an evening of Cuban cuisine and live Cuban music...oh, and don't forget the Sangria! Can't wait...I'm off to get beautified :)

Did you know we have a rooster living in our house now? I was making my morning coffee when I hear Stella call 'Mama!'. I head towards the stairs to go get her when as I'm starting to walk up I hear 'cock-a-doodle-dooooooo'. I round the corner and Miss Stella is sitting up in bed, head tilted skyward, singing 'cock-a-doodle-dooooooo'. It was hilarious!

We went on a great little hike this morning. Stella fell asleep in the backpack I was carrying and boy did my back and shoulders hurt when we were done! She ended up sleeping for a record three hours!!! Unbelievably she then took another nap this afternoon. I tried waking her three times...using bribery such as chocolate and TV. She wanted nothing to do with either so I let her sleep until 5 when I finally dragged her lazy butt out of bed! Yes, I'm paying the price for her afternoon siesta now (It's 9:15 and no sign of night night yet).

After the hike we ran to Starbucks and I got the BEST cafe mocha I swear I've ever had! It tasted so good and had just the right amount of chocolate added.

Zoe had a half day at school so we headed to the playground around noon. We didn't get home until almost 3! It was so nice out!

We've got a busy day tomorrow with orders to finish and Zoe's room to get together. She's finally getting her own room! Her furniture arrived on Tuesday beautifully painted...thank you Jeff! So I'm off to get some rest...I am one sleepy Mama :)

my muse of the day...

My muse. She (a-muses) me each and every day. She had such joy in her this afternoon. I think it was the unseasonal warm weather that gave her a bit more hip to her hop. She wanted me to chase her so I indulged...it was great!

Did you vote today? I did first thing this morning and would you believe I FORGOT to go to Starbucks for my free java???? How could I????

I'll be busy over the next couple of days getting a couple orders done and on their way to some special lovelies. Can you believe I had an order yesterday from someone all the way in Ireland??? It feels so cool knowing someone so far away actually wanted something I make! I'm truly touched by each and every sale I make...so THANK YOU!!!

I'm trying to re-photograph most of the things in my shop. I only did a couple of shots today and it was sooooo time consuming...yikes, any pros out there that want to do this for me???

Ok. I'm off to get the girlies to bed....night!

happiness is...

Dancing and puttin baby to bed...

Last night Stella really wanted to get her groove on with Mama...After FINALLY finishing the dishes I agreed. Ruby took pix (on her own accord) because she just couldn't stop laughing at my moves. I thought she did a good job and actually think she caught the spirit of the pure goofiness :)

Prior to the dancing escapade. Stella decided she needed to put her baby to bed on the floor, next to the dishwasher. Super cute!

New in the shop...

Check back later hopefully I will have more to add!
