The best seat in the house

The Sweet Summer Swingason Found at Pier 1, for $269

hanging in a tree, on a porch, or with the stand. So comfy and cute, I had to get one. Side pockets for books & magazines, and cup holders, I could swing all day, flippin thru a magazine with some ice cold strawberry lemonade... I bet it's even nicer in the fall with a blanket... oooh the fall, cool breezes, craftshows... ok I'm gettin ahead of myself... The summer's just started and its gonna be a long hottt few months. So I'll hydrate with these

during the 104 degree heatwaves and hope I at least get a golden bronze tan from it all :)

I went to a MAC makeup class, and learned about new products, and new ways to use staple products, they've got some good stuff this summer! I've been missin out on the wonderful Fix It Plus spray! Setting spray helps keep your makeup in place, and mac artists were saying keep it in your fridge! Spray as often thru the day as you like! Totally refreshing and seems to last for a while. To use primer first, and this after makeup application, your makeup is sweatproof!

My skin's a little toasty

Spent the day soakin up the sun at the "beach" :) and by beach, I mean the lake, and that *orange water is the Oklahoma red dirt :) I'd like to think I got a nice tan, but the water's not exactly crystal clear... so all I got were burnt shoulders and a toasted face with big sunglass tanlines :) sexy I know... but being out on my friend's boat was fun, and the water was cold!! So I was a happy girl. Cheers to the summer time!

I'm in love with this picnic basket at work. If it weren't a wopping $159, I would already have it. So cute, but really, that much for a picnic basket? I haven't succumbed yet... it has wheels like carry on luggage, and has everything you need. It even has a freezer compartment on the bottom half. Oy, I spend way too much money at pier 1... I'm holdin out for a clearance sale

Kindle me this

The long wait is finally over :)))))
My Kindle has arrived!

YAY!!!

And I guess I was a little overzealous... because I immediately added 26 books on the first night :) Most though were either free or sunshine deals costing .99-2.99 so I couldn't help myself.

Three books on my To-Read list

A light summer novel, a bookclub checkoff, and the *fictional read they say is very clearly written about Laura Bush.

Recap and lull music

Winding down after a long week of working & class, with a cup of chai tea (my sweet addiction)... Spent the weekend at the lake with friends, and Memorial Day weekend Texas style :) Found tons of goodies at world market and ikea :) Outdoor furniture is on a super sale at Crate, Pier 1 & World Market! A Kindle is making it's way to me as we speak (Yay! so excited!!) so i've been rifling thru piles & drawers trying to find all my little post-its and scribbles of my jotted book recommendations 

My days are filled with a never-ending soundtrack, of imaginary background music always goin in my head, maybe manifested from only child boredom, who knows. But I do love drives down Oklahoma roads with a convertible top down, it's not much for scenery but you'll have a  déjà vu bob dylan / the wonder years / Elvis and Annabelle scene if you get really lost after a while
