from Elle Decor

I adore a touch of metallic in a room.

Will you add any to your decor this year?

Without A Hitch

My 'unofficial' school reunion went as planned.

It was a small group of us, just about 35 or 40.

The Island gang.

Me - 2nd. from the left

This is only a small portion.

It was a lovely event

 held in the most appropriate place imaginable for this gifted group.

Most of the gang learned to sail right here at the above yacht club.

This is where the party was.

It was at night, and it was beautiful.

You could have actually thrown a baseball to the house I grew up in.

We could just glance across the water and see our childhood homes,

where we played as kids.

We all water skied, sailed, and spent out days on this bay.

Beautiful Biscayne Bay.

There is NOTHING like it.

It is what makes Miami & Miami Beach so amazing. 

More girls from The Islands.

starting on the left; Debbie, Missy, Janine

Debbie ....the doll.

In spite of the lovely night that went off 'without a hitch.....'

(thank you lisa and howie)

I woke this morning feeling sad 

and 'out of my stirrups'.

I was once again filled with all the old feelings

 that I would rather not feel.

You know the ones....

But they come 

and they go.

Just as my confidence and sense of security does the same.

It was extremely difficult for me to place names with faces.

I wasn't great at making friends with EVERYONE.

Mainly because I was only close with 2 or 3 girls all through 12yrs -17.

I felt 2 or 3 was plenty. I was a bit moody and private.

My 3  friends are 'mixers' and were comfortable 'mingling.'

I am still no 'mingling freak'

'One on One' is my comfort zone.

My one friend kept saying;

"how can you not remember 'so and so' ?"

"we all walked home from the bus..." or

"don't you remember when we all....?"

I started to think, 

am I senile already?

Or

 was I just in my own world?

....which is much more likely.

But.....

 

 I didn't really feel comfortable in my own skin back then.

My skin today suits me just fine.

I have a whole new set of issues....

hahahahah

I am so proud of the individuals that I grew up with.

They are all 'SOMEBODIES'

Do you like reunions?

Do they leave you feeling off your game??

I could stay in bed....

But I must suit up and show up at work....

This is exactly the kind of bed suits my mood today.

Bethany::She actually looks like this,

and dresses like this.

But she stands upright at all or meeting.....promise

My dear sweet client whom we shall call Bethany

is anxiously waiting the installation of her NEW home.

Which will take place part of this week and most of next.

We are all excited.

It is going to be 'HOT".

The colors are granny smith apple green, peacock, and a touch of fushia.

The carpets are wild.

At the end of my day 

I will be driving to Miami Beach to reunite

with the kids I went to elementary school with.

I will be exhausted, but it should give my heart a 'rush!!!'

XXXXX just me

Christmas Kid

I bought this card for my mom.

Because this is the kind of kid I was.

I was a tom boy until I wasn't.

When I found this card , 

it made me laugh out loud.

Laugh today.

Hug your brothers and sisters.

Make someone laugh out loud.

I will try and keep the xmas lights out of my nose this year.

*you know who you are....

PS I sent my mom a slightly different card.

...still funny though
