Tar-Zhay

Found some time yesterday to shop at Tar-Zhay! The trenchcoats to the left are really cute. They are $39.99. I didn't purchase them this time but have my eye on them.


I did buy a new purse. I thought it would be easier to carry on our upcoming vacation to San Antonio. You put it on over your head and carry across your body. Good distribution of weight.

The other purchase I made was some kitchen towels. They had a great sale on them. Always can use extra.

My granddaughter, Cora, visited this weekend (she also brought along her parents!). We had a great visit. She got to explore grandma and grandpa's new toy room. (Will show pictures of this room in an upcoming blog.) She did a lot of ooohs and aahhs.

Reading

I am currently reading "Angels and Demons" from Dan Brown. I am a quarter of the way in and am enjoying the book. I hope to get it read by the time the new movie comes out on May 15. That sounds like enough time but you never know ... just need to make it a priority. Turn off the TV, stop reading through magazines, etc. etc.

I read "The DaVinci Code" and went to see that movie. Enjoyed both. I didn't get wrapped up into the controversy of the movie and/or book. Well written and just fiction. My apologies to anyone that feels strongly regarding this book.

Pet Peeves

Pet Peeves:

• Taking the elevator one floor. Walk the stairs people!
• Talking with your mouth full (nuf said).
• Talking while a game is on ... ok, sometimes I've been guilty of this.
• Assuming the worst of people vs. the best.
• Double negatives.
• Shortening my name.
• Towels not folded my way!
• Inappropriate clothes at work.
• People who touch your stomach when you're pregnant ... it is still my stomach! Not that this will happen to me again .. but I feel sorry for other people.
  
• Not using turn signals.
• Wrinkled clothes.
  
• Hairy eyebrows.
  

I'm sure there are more if I thought longer ... sorry for being on a negative turn. I believe the elevator one got me started on this rampage!

Partay

Super Bowl is here again! I'm a big fan of Kurt Warner. Loved him when he was in St. Louis. Go Cardinals!

We are having a party at our house. Super Bowl is always a great time to get together with friends. Lots of food and funny commercials ... oh yeah - and football!

Let it Snow

Two posts in one evening -- unheard of!

Just letting you know that we've had about 4 inches of snow this evening. It has stopped now, but we'll see what we have by morning.

Sure is pretty.

The Bachelor

"The Bachelor" has pulled me in. Every week, I'm glued to the tube to watch the interactions between these beautiful women and Jason.

I was totally happy about who he sent home last night. I really like Stephanie but just don't see him with her in the future. Somehow they just don't seem suited.

Right now, I'm a real fan of Naomi.

Anyone else watching? Who do you want to see with Jason?

Board Game

We played "Sequence" over Christmas Break and really enjoyed the game. I bought it for our family last week. You can play as individuals or as teams. To win you need 5 tokens in a row - horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You also must play defense to keep you opponent from getting 5 in a row. A lot of staring at the board!

What board games do you like? I also like "Clue", "Monopoly", "Life", and "Trivial Pursuit".

When I was a little girl I played with "Mystery Date". Can you believe there was a game even called that! My girlfriends and I had great fun with this game. You won the game if you opened the door to the Stud and lost if you opened the door to the Dud! Who in the world thought of this game! Probably made a mint.
