Happy Weekend!

I'm sure everyone is geared up and ready to enjoy the weekend! It's supposed to be quite balmy here, getting up into the 40's. Yay! If you're working this weekend, I feel your pain. I worked every other weekend for the past ten years, so I know it's not fun.

A couple more thank yous are in order. Katie at Turning the Page included me in an award that is supposed to be for blogs that display great attitude and gratitude. I don't think this award has a name, but I would guess that the little lemonade stand signifies making the best of things, i.e., making lemonade out of lemons. Thank you, Katie! And Rose of Roses are Read has passed on two friendship awards to me. Wow, when it rains it pours! A big thanks to you, too, Rose. As with the award from a couple of days ago, if I read you, there's a reason, so feel free to snag these awards for yourself!

Hey, the President is going to be in Elkhart on Monday! (Elkhart is about 20 miles east of here, and where my sisters live.) Elkhart County has been hit very hard by the recession, because they are big in RV manufacturing. I believe their unemployment rate of about 15% is the worst in the nation, so it's one of the places the President has chosen to visit in order to highlight the need for a stimulus package. I believe he'll also be visiting Florida. I suppose at some point I'll write more about the whole stimulus thing, but not today.

This morning I headed over to take care of Shane's cats while he's in New York. Boris and Peanut are so cute, and really good girls. They're doing fine, but I'm sure they miss their Dad! I decided to stop at Kohl's before I went to the grocery store. I was looking through my closets and trying to decided what to wear to the concert next weekend. I seem to have gotten into the mode where I have fairly dressy things like sweaters or blouses, or really casual things like T-shirts and tank tops. I'm not wearing a dressy sweater to a Godfathers concert, and I wouldn't mind wearing a T-shirt or tank top, but it's Chicago and it's...you know...February. Kinda chilly! So I found a couple of things, and you guys can tell me what you think. I also found a pair of $50 black suede Keds for $10, so that was cool!






First up is a black rayon shirt, loose, casual. It looks kind of glittery in this picture, but it's not. Sheeba is playing game show model and assisting me in the display of the shirt. Thank you, Sheeba!













Next is a shirt and vest combo. A white shirt with black lace on the...what do you call that, where the buttons are? Placket? The vest has zippered pockets which would come in handy for keeping my driver's license safe. Sheeba is also helping show off this one. What a great kitty!




I will wear either one with jeans, and not tuck it in. What do you think?

  2. Looks like Sheria and I both went witht he white shirt and vest. It just seems more like something you would wear to a concert for the Godfathers. Congratulations on the awards hon. I've found it's much easier to beg out and honor getting them. I know I worry about offending people when they don't get chosen. (Hugs)Indigo

  4. I like the vest combo, but unless a miracle occurs, you'll need a coat. Sounds like fun. I'll have to ask my daughter in Chicago if they like the Godfathers and if they're going to the concert.
