So Much To Do.....

and so little time.

I have recently developed this horrific back-ache in my lower back.

I have never had a back ache before-

It started 3 weeks ago and has not given up.

OUCH.

It wears on me...

and can distract me like so many other things.

Yesterday was Sunday {I take Sunday and Mondays off}

and I unplugged....

my phone, computer, and stayed in bed after I took a walk.

{thinking exercise might work it out}

It did not help.

Today is my 'day 2' of my time off from my work week.

I have to get with the party planners for the up-coming 

American Cancer Society of Boca Raton's Big Gala in April.

I have taken on the job of planning and the set design of it all.

I am very happy to do so.

You can certainly say that I am honored and excited about the theme; 

'A Nite in Paris'.

It is right up my alley!!!!

This is where the image comes in....

I just have to tell myself to slow down and

take it easy.

I don't want to get frazzled and drive off with my wallet or laptop

on the hood of my car.

Can you relate to a time 

when you were thinking of where you were going...

rather than where you were? 

I need to look down at mt feet occasionally

to focus on where I am!!!

I was thinking...after today's work day....

That this might make for a fun space to gather 

{us bloggers}

have our laughs 

and share our totally brilliant ideas.

And just truly unwind.

Would you come if you could?

And when we were done....I would be exausted.

I run across a short meadow and find this cabin.

I spy the porch and the baby bed 

so I fall fast asleep in it with the warm breezes rolling across me.

Just Divine.

I can't however get The American Cancer Society 

out of my head.

I am doing the design of the event.

It is a night in PARIS.

This is the once a year big gala.

For The  America Cancer Society Of Boca  Raton in April. 28. 2012

I may have Hoda, and Donny Deutsch coming.

This would be a real moulon rouge feather in my cap.

No?

Key West Home - Don't You Wish You Were There About Now?

Key Lime Chic!!!

The designers at 

Taylor and Taylor in Miami Occasionally knock my socks off.

I felt that I had to share this residence with you

Yellow is such a friendly color.

It seems to work with so many different colorways.

And always ELEGANT.

This is the front door.

Is this charm or what?

Don't you wish you here?

Since I completely shredded my ELLE mag...

this was on 2 pages and I photo-shopped it together for you.

I did not do a great job.

I did the same with this image as well.....

it is not as cleanly put together as it could be.

But,

I know you get the idea.

I like the floor.

I am always doing black and white....

this I think is more livable for most.

Don't you think?

Tailgate Polo Parties in Palm Beach

We are soooo lucky to have Polo in Palm Beach County.

{only for 3 months}

I went with a group of new friends.

I normally sleep all day on Sunday.

This is just what my soul needed.

These are the tailgate tents heading towards the clubhouse-

and go all the way to the other end of the clubhouse.

Florida people flip out when it is in the fifties.

He is.

This is the back of the tents. We just pull up right behind the tent and start setting up.

There was a contest going on.

You needed a theme.

Ours was USA and all armed forces.

This is the back of our tent.

This is the front.

Some came in costumes.

I think. 

They look awfully like Thurston Howell 

from Gilligan's Island.

They were fun.

This is the inside of the tent before everyone arrived

More quests from our tent.

Me and a friend.

At the half time

we took the flag out onto the Polo Field.

I was sure this is why we won.

It's Palm Beach,

everyone brings their doggies.

Palm Beach Polo Tail-gating

This image is of

  everyone walking the field to plug the holes in the field from the horses .

You stomp on the holes until they are smooth again.

They are announcing the winner of the match

and handing out the trophy and champagne. 

{yes that is me in the sweater with the handsome man}

And the winner of the 'TENT'S

{me in front in blue sweater}

My entire party from the tent!!!

What fun it was!!!

And all the newspapers were there. 

Taking pictures to put in Palm Beach Post's 'SHINY SHEET.'

{social page}

I hope you did something fun on Sunday.

This is a networking event of sorts

and HERE.....

I am in my element.

Does it look like fun to you?

I have a great time!!
