The best is yet to come!

I have thoroughly enjoyed each stage of my life, but I've got to say that these mid-life years are really, really nice. Thanks for stopping by to check on this Austin Nana. I like the real thing, though, so come on! Drop by for a coffee date with me sometime soon.

Getting the 'skinny'...


I'm determined to 'clean out' a bunch of stuff in our home this fall. We are really, really going to get new floors and Mr. Floor Store Guy told me that though the tile and carpet installers would move all my furniture, they are not going to move all my knick knacks and books and lamps and 'decorative' items (ha!).

I decided that the floors will have to wait until after January 1, because as I have been boxing up and giving away about 1/2 of my 'decorative' items, I realized that I have about 10 green crates up in the attic with MORE decorative items. Call it Christmas in a box....ah hem...boxes. Last year our skinny artificial tree from Garden Ridge just had to call it quits. So this year I actually considered NOT getting a tree for about 5 minutes.

I compromised and went for an even 'skinnier' tree! About 6.5 feet tall and no lights. and very, very skinny. It was on sale for $40 last night at Target. Snapped that boxed Christmas tree right up.  Gosh, it's so skinny and so cheap, I may go back and get another one.
