Have a GROOVY Weekend

Hey everyone hope your having a great week and getting ready for Easter weekend or Passover.  I am finally back in the swing of things and will be hosting a few people for dinner Sunday.  Can’t wait to show you the table setting once I get it done.  Using some beautiful dishes I found at the thrift store and whatever else I can find.  My energy levels are getting back to normal and I’ve been feeling great.  I’m down 6.8 lbs. and slowly increasing my exercise.  Last week our Weight Watchers meeting was all about being positive.  It was so much fun all week practicing my “Miss Positive” by taking negative situations and spinning them around.  It’s really infectious and so much more fun than being negative.  My friend was going through some stuff and I was giving her a little pep talk which, in the end, I sounded like a 70’s love child.  I ended my email to her by joking and said, “No I’m not smoking crack!”  She replied in her email, “you are smoking crack, in a little floral dress with a flower in your hair!  lol!”  We were chuckling the other day about my “positive email” and it got me thinking about how giddy I have been and I kind of /sort of  felt like one of those free spirit chicks from the 70’s this week.  I couldn’t help but giggle when I saw these images.  This would have been me driving my flowered VW bus.  LOL!                         No mom, I did not get a tattoo! 

It’s great to be feeling happy, hippy, peaceful, joyful, and positive and no, I’m not smoking crack!  Hope you all find the positive in something this week. Peace Out!

HAPPY FRIDAY

It’s quite brisk for us here at the beach this morning. The sun is shining and it’s a lovely day. I hope it warms up just a wee bit. 

Looking forward to relaxing this evening and dinner Saturday night at my neighbors restaurant (hope to share pictures of his adorable place and yummy food). My wish for all of you is that you have a wonderful weekend with family and friends. Enjoy the little moments.

Have a blissful weekend!

LOSING MY MIND

This is EXACTLY how I feel right now.  There is no other way to say it.  Nope, none!  I was working on my blog and lost my original archaic template.  I have wanted to switch over to the Simple Template  however, I haven’t had time to play around with it.  I like my blog very clean and white. Yes, just like my house for those that know me.  Anyone looking at my blog tonight would have seen various graphic patterns and colors that would make your head spin.  I texted my girlfriend about a lattice pattern I posted and this was her reply via text…. “The lattice is busy.  Needs to be smaller or something.” Next text, “Headache”.  Next text, “Feels like NYC rush hour”.

My boyfriend was ready to crucify me because I first asked him to center my logo (moved to the left on the new template and blogger doesn’t let you center it the easy way) and then I wanted to change the color on the sides to a pattern another nightmare.  Unfortunately, you can’t just upload it or center it so you need to know HTML.   I must have emailed Megan at Beach Bungalow 8 a million times asking her for help looking for short cuts while the boyfriend was cursing me out under his breath as I asked him 50 million questions.  He told me if I was a client he would have quit by now LOL!

Since I have to rescale everything for this new template,  I will be experimenting with colors, fonts, backgrounds, etc. so bare with me.  Definitely give me your input  – I tried this graphic in multiple sizes and colors (the side border).  We all agreed the blue and white looked best but now I’m not sure if I like the white on blue that is on here or if I like the white with blue you haven’t seen.  Don’t forget I can make it larger or smaller.   OMG!  I’m my own worst nightmare.  Stay tuned while I experiment.  In the interim, I’m going to loose my mind.  All the more reason why white is so clean and simple and always classy.  Now I have to go bug Laura about my logo – are you reading this Laura M. in CT????Hope your evening wasn’t as hair raising as mine!  I think all this stress calls for a glass of wine!
