*Be sure to go HERE to try & win a free book from my book blog... the drawing is this evening!!!
*We had 80's night at church last weekend for our 175th +1 anniversary of our church... there was a time capsule that was put up 25 years ago... in the 80's, hence the theme. It was so much fun pulling out the eye shadow & pulling the side pony tail fashion again!
Totally wish I would have pulled out my slouch socks!!! Remember those? I have a FEW pairs... that's embarassing to admit...& no! I didnt have that sweater laying around. I made a trip to Goodwill & found the perfect 80's sweater!
*SPAT OF THE WEEK: Candy wrappers!!!! Ricky has the biggest sweet tooth of anyone I know. Seriously - his blood has to be made up of at least 51% of sugar. So after Halloween & half off of bags of candy - Ricky is in his heaven. Reese's cups, Kit-Kat's, Almond Joys... candy is everywhere! He carries these bags around like a security blanket. So now, I'm left to pick up dozens... no, make that HUNDREDS, of candy wrappers... & pulling them out of dog's mouths. I mean, why just throw them in the trash can when its just fun to watch me chase dogs around, pulling a saliva piece of paper out of their mouths?

How cute are these girls (& Ryan back there)... I love it though because these girls werent even ALIVE in the 80's & yet, they love the fashion & music of the era... Rock on girls!
*I'm sorry I missed the recap of Dancing with the Stars... but speaking of the 80's ... did anyone catch how awesome my Donny Osmond looked channeling Adam Ant/ Michael Jackson/Corey Feldman...I'm rooting him on all the way to the finals!!!

*Anyone going to make this week officially TAYLOR SWIFT WEEK? First, the appearance on SNL (how funny was her Montage Song (la la la)....& then she kicks butt on the country music awards? WOW... that's one over-achieving 19 yr old... What were YOU doing at 19 years old?
*In case anyone wasn't aware (yeah... right....) NEW MOON... 1 WEEK AWAY!!!!! (aaahhhhhhh....screaming like a teenager girl!)
*Its Friday, the 13th... a guy at Ricky's work will actually not come into work today because of superstition. Truly! I never really think anything of it... do you? I've never seen the Friday, the 13th movies. Maybe if I saw those, I'd be a little more freaked out. I dont know - did people get superstitious about it before or after the movie? Did the date inspire the movie? ... I'm so confused & lost. I need to do my research on this topic.
*Best GLEE Moment: Sue Sylvester actually making me tear up? What the heck? A older sister with Down Syndrome that she reads stories to & holds hands with.... Who saw THAT coming??
*I'm still on a hunt for a camera! Trying to keep an eye out for those big sales that are supposed to be amazing PRE-Black Friday sales..... come on Best Buy - give me something that will make me happy.
Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!!!!!
Love the 80's theme! You look great!! And no superstitions over here for Friday the 13th! I am actually going to see Casting Crowns tonight ON Friday the 13th! Can't wait! I have been told that I should watch Glee, I may have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Blessings-

I love how you're channeling the 80's there! I had those slouch socks that you're talking about! I had pink ones!
ReplyDeleteDon't you remember when Sue told will that "you don't know the first thing about me?" That's what she was talking about!!
ReplyDeleteShe threw me for a loop too!
Okay, so totally thinking it much be camera season. I was just looking at them last night on the www.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is sooooo 80's. I had one very close, that sadly carried me into the 90's as well. I know.
Have a Blessed weekend,
Dawn
Sue Sylvester has a nice side...who knew. Did mom tell you I broke my camera too? Must be something about pink cameras. I know it has nothing to do with us!!
ReplyDeleteI have been very lax in my blog visiting this week! Dig on the 80's gear...big shirts and leggings were ALL the rage when I was in High School (long, long, long ago!)
ReplyDeleteYou ROCK the 80's look! I used to wear the over-sized sweaters with leggings and do a side-pony tail, too! ;) I think I still have a couple of pairs of slouch socks in my dresser...not that I would admit it...oh wait, I just did! ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE Taylor Swift! At 19 I was working full time to pay for evening college classes...nothing as fun as Taylor for sure! :)
Friday the 13th doesn't bug me - I did see a couple of the first movies...those bugged me. ;) Too funny one of Ricky's co-workers won't even come in to work because of his superstitions... I have a friend who got married on a Friday the 13th because she always was lucky on Friday the 13th! :)
Sue Sylvester with a soft side...gotta love it!
Happy FF! :)
Happy Friday...
ReplyDeleteI know I think our husband's forget what a trash can is for.
DWTS was a lot of fun this week.
Have a great weekend.
Well, I can tell you at 19 I was not winning Entertainer of the Year Awards, haha!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd how fun was that 80's party. You're rockin that outfit, girl!!! :)
What a fun idea at your church! I love it when churches do clever things.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for a small t.v. and waiting for those great sales, too...still waiting....waiting...
That pic of you is TOTALLY AWESOME DUDE! lol :D Love the side ponytail and pink sneakers.
ReplyDeleteOMW I totally didn't see that coming with Sue. I got choked up for sure and found myself smiling so big. I just KNEW she was up to something. Man I love this show.
Oh my gosh you totally rock the 80's! your church is so fun! And I couldn't believe Glee either with Sue's sister? Where'd that come from? And I LOVED that they sung wicked!! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteTaylor Swift is amazing! I am happy for her. Even like her better after hearing an interview with her.
ReplyDeleteI was all set to comment on your 80s outfit (which *rocked*, by the way), but I got distracted by Sue Sylvester...
ReplyDeleteI also teared up at the end of this week's episode, then berated myself for any feelings of fondness toward that cold-hearted snake (80s reference, score!). Ahhh Glee, how do I love thee???

I didn't have the pony tail but I did have BIG hair and BIG shoulder pads in my ever so professional business suits. LOL what a look that was.
ReplyDeleteYou don't want to know what I was doing when I was 19. Maybe sometime I will blog about it. It was a very bad year.
Well, at 19 years of age, I wasn't making millions or winning music awards. But I did get married, start a full-time job (with benefits), and get my new husband through his last two quarters of school. How's that for responsibility?
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is so awesomely 80s!
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Glee this week, it sounds like I better track it down and watch it.
I loved that moment on Glee!! Totally teared up when she grabbed her sister's hand and started reading to her. What a moment.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in your 80's outfit!! Regretting that I threw all my 80's stuff out...
ReplyDeleteAnd Donny Osmond as Adam Ant was awesome :D
To me, it feels like the 80's were just yesterday!
ReplyDeleteTaylor Swift is awesome.
I think nothing of Friday the 13th, but some people sure do.
I didn't see the draw of Glee when the kids started freaking out about it. I had to watch because they do. I'm almost hooked now, and I do like Sue a lot. Good stuff.
I misplaced my camera for a few weeks and thought I would die of withdrawal!
ReplyDeleteLove, love. love your 80's ensemble. Well done!
