A WANTED snow day...

This i is from my phone... my friend turned me on to this app.. appgratis... it sends you a free app a day.. this one is travelgram.. it takes the pic and then puts the banner on it.. theres also a part that puts the temp on it... but app gratis.. look into it....

An anti hoarder...

I don't know how many of you have parents like this.. but about 10 years ago, my parents starting getting rid of everything in their house piece by piece... its like they've held it for this long, now YOU take it... Now my dad is getting rid of everything in his basement... My mom passed away about a year ago and he is unloading everything..So far, of everything he's given me, this is my favorite... this is my stocking from when I was little.. it was the only stocking I had as a kid.. its really the only stocking I've ever had... its so little...

my mom used to put oranges and apples in it.. how did they fit??

The retro name tag...retro.. ghetto.. whatever..

when I was MUCH skinnier!!!!

Have any of you gotten something sentimental like this from your parents???.

A historical guest blogger...

Today is Casmir Pulaski day... now alot of you probably never heard of him.. I will admit.. I don't know anything about him.. other than the fact that I got today off because of him!!!! So a free day off means I don't have to shower!! Yay!!!! So Casmir is stepping in for me today...

And stepping in to do some blogging duties of her own is my sister Terry!!! She got her nails did and showed them off...

Hi.. my name is Suzanne and I am addicted to Goodwill.. but today my addiction paid off!!! See my problem is that I go so often I expect that there will be brand new Target items every day but today was the day it happened.. brand new stuff.... there was a chevron armless chair that I LOVED but it wouldn't fit in my living room...uuuuuggghhhh!!!!Now if you'll excuse me I have aversion therapy through watching "Hoarders" for 3 hours....

How do you wear a scarf?

I know y'all have seen this before, but it helped me so much I can't even tell you... I have to watch it and rewatch it to get the techniques down.. but this is the best scarf tying video I've ever seen

A RARE outing alone...

These pics are terrible and not blogworthy at all!!! But I did want to show that occasionally.. rarely..  I do leave the house... and go out on actual dates... this is proof...We went to Harry Carey's restaurant in Lombard... great hamburger...

New Uses: Joliet,IL

Ok y'all... I put out a cry for guest bloggers.. and guess what?? I actually got some! !

1. is my other sista... Terry.. what is funny about her pic is that her shoes say "from Italy".. like Italy the country...so the next time you're there, pick some up... but she qualifies as a guest blogger extraordinare!!! Why? Because she dragged her son, Cole to be in the blog as well.. bringing in that young audience for me!!!
and... she made a little joke.... very cute!!!
The next pics are a great jewelry box my sister Michelle got at New Uses... she really talks this place up so it gets a high mention in the blog!!!

no makeup Saturday

            Sweater: Salvation Army
                                                                  Necklace: Target
                                                                   Jeans: Dots
                                                                  Boots: Amazon.com

Doing a daily blog is so rewarding... but there are days like today (and everyday) when I swear I look soooo much better in the mirror than I do on camera... I looked at myself in the mirror w/o makeup and I'm like, "yeah, this is fine... "... uhhhhh.... not!!! I look like an extra in the walking dead!!! Cameras can be so unkind!!! But on the bright side.. these boots were from Amazon..they were half of what I have found them for in stores.. what is good about them is they fit over my calves.. cuz girrrrrrrrrrrrrllllllll.. I got some meaty calves!!!

I'm not trying to look sexy in te last pic.. I was trying to be cute, but when your hubsband is taking the pic and is trying to figure out the camera at the same time, its hard to look like surprised or like,"Hey.. isn't this cute?" face... so it ended up looking like I'm trying to show my boobs, which I am NOT..
Anyway..... tomorrow is Dr. Seuss's birthday which means today is "Cat in the Hat" day!!! So rhyme alot with your friends and remember: "the more that you read, the more things you will know, The more you read, the more places you'll go!!!"
