When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going

Sometimes I feel like I got caught in the middle of a sh-t storm!!

{and I know I am not alone in this}

This gives me the opportunity to 

get tough,

be tough,

and get going!!!

Do You Remember This Song?
It is so apropos for me right now!!!.

{Because this is a design blog....I feel I have not been posting enough design related items.

So this beautiful staircase and the hallway will work just fine in this post.}

I will be facing a some fierce stairs to climb in the near future.

Oh

but let them be beautiful

{and preferably in Paris-no such luck)

and not too steep.

But if they are....I can STILL TAKE THEM!!

The hardest place to be is IN  THE  HALLWAY

before the next door opens.

I am waiting,

and have no doubt 

 I have my best running shoes on.

Just for today....I am feeling strong.

love to -

you know who you are.

To Whine Or Not To Wine

I have never been to wine country.

Lately I have been living in 'whine' country with my miserable self.

But

I have always wanted to live and ride in the hills of a 'wine country' type area.

They just seem so .....

gorgeous?

I could see myself riding my beautiful  'Hershey'

through these hills.

Wow.

That would be a dream!!!

Is this not amazing?

Do you think they are 'whining' ?

I think not.

I have wanted to go to Portugal {for the tiles}

all my life.

Wouldn't you want to go?

No more whining for me.

I have an interview for a management position at a 

famous and fabulous fabric house

on May 21st.

New Beginnings - Starting Over

New Beginnings & Starting Over

I did however just take a part time job at the consignment store 

that is selling the pieces from my showroom's closing.

You may be sick of me by now.....

I am sick of me,

but 

I am....

Thinking out loud with you;

I am figuring things out....

I am thinking of going back to school for web-design and programming.

{Prez Obama would be proud}

As long as I have my eye sight....{please G-d!!!}

I could do it until I am too old to get around on my own.

I mean...that is about 25 - 30 years away,

but computer technology is not going anywhere!

I try not to project into the future.....{my down fall}

but

that is where a great deal of my fear come from.

Projecting.

If only I could PROJECT positive thoughts instead of negative ones-

 I would have it made in the shade.

BRIDESMAIDS - Clips That I LOVE

I can completely relate to her antics on this plane.



My daughter said; " Mom, don't be offended ...
but she reminds me of you"

More like things you threaten to do-and say under your breath
only Annie Walker does them

Hope you all have a killer weekend...
filled with love and hugs from the people that matter to you.
