A Conversation about Bret Mich*aels

(Picture from here)

So I have to set my relationship (well, I mean he doesn’t know I’m alive or anything) must have started back in high school. No, I wasn’t in high school in the 80’s. In fact, I didn’t start kindergarten until 1990. However, I used the ever popular Poison song “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” as part of a huge junior English project. I get that song stuck in my head any time I think about that project.

I digress. Anywho, I haven’t thought much about Bret until recently because my husband and I thoroughly enjoy The Celebrity Apprentice. (Side note: I totally disagree with Rod Blag*ojevich and don’t really love him, but he was super entertaining on this show!) I have actually grown to like Bret a lot on the show, and his recent illness has caught my attention.

It just seems so weird to watch him on Sunday and see him seem so full of life, and then just BOOM! His life is forever changed. It scares me to think how instantly life can be gone or greatly affected. It truly is a precious gift from God. I do hope he has a full recovery, if for nothing else than his two young daughters.

I have to admit, I never thought I would be doing a blog post on Bret, but ya never know I guess. Life is short whether you live ‘till the ripe old age of 104 or it is tragically cut short much sooner. I guess the moral of the story is: love the Lord with you whole being and love your neighbor – all else doesn’t really matter.

I totally agree!!! I have watched Bret on Rock of Love and though I didn't think I really was a BIG fan of his, but I too like him on Celebrity Apprentice. Any who, I was so shocked when I heard about his medical issues! Have a good rest of the week!

It is so sad what is happening to him...I take care of people like him almost every day and it is sad to see how quickly, and dramatically a persons life can change. It certainly makes you think about your own life.

Conversation #32: Kitchen Design Help!

Okay, I don’t really know that too many people read this blog since I moved to a new address, but I’m begging if you do, please help me. I am at a loss on what to do with part of my kitchen. Here is how I painted my kitchen 3 years ago: It was fun, bright, and I like it, but we decided it needed to be a bit more grown-up these days. I knew we would have to paint it before we moved so we decided to just go ahead and do it now for a change. We decided to go with a gray so that it would be neutral but not boring. However, the gray had a strong blue tone to it on the walls and now I need to phase out my turquoise decor I think. Here are some afters (still putting it back together): Some of these are the same shots but with/without flash to show the colors. I think I really like the new color, but the turquoise trim does not go anymore in my opinion. I’m trying to figure out what to do with it, and I need help!!! ...

Conversation #123: Open to Interpretation

First, I apologize for two posts today. The other one was supposed to post yesterday. I wrote it during lunch, but it didn't post properly. Oh well. So I started reading Kayla's blog during her last wardrobe challenge, and I loved it. I also loved when she and Amy and Erica started doing this series called Open to Interpretation. I have no idea why, but I never thought of taking an outfit I saw in a catalog or a magazine and then recreating it or something like it with what I already own. This has really helped me not only stretch my closet but also push me to try some new fashiony things (without going out to spend a ton of money). Here is the photo inspiration (I just copied it from Kayla's blog): And here is my interpretation: Outfit breakdown: Sweater - Old Navy, $8 Striped Shirt - LOFT (from the event last week), $20 Pink pants - JCPenney, Juniors section (don't tell Stacey and Clinton), $10 Leather Oxfords - J.Jill, $30 Mine is...

Conversation #22b: Fashion help!

So we talked about fall weddings a couple of days ago - can a brighter jewel tone work in fall? I bought this dress on clearance at Target for $13 a couple of days ago: So y'all made me feel pretty good about wearing a sleeveless option and using a pashmina or a cardigan. I actually have a pretty cute black dress cardigan so here is what I was thinking: Can I wear this dress in October with black tights and black suede pumps and pull it off? I think it could be cute, but I need your input. If not, I might return it (or for $13 I might just keep it because I'm thinking I can wear it to a wedding this Saturday also!) I realize that this wedding isn't until October, but my MIL was talking about a dress for her so it put it in my mind. Honestly, I'm afraid if I don't start looking now I may forget and then be in real panic mode! Anyway, thoughts???
