Mini Light Tour

On the way home from dinner tonight, the man took me to see this incredible Christmas light display in our neighborhood.

This place is amazing! There are fantastic vintage pieces on display. The garage has been converted and there's a village display in the window. On the right side of the picture, you can see a lit tunnel that goes into their back yard for another walk-through display. They even have hot beverages out!

We will be going back to do the walk through tour.

I can't wait to see more holiday lights go up!

Margarita Time!

Oh yes! Yumness abounds!

We tried a new Mexican restaurant tonight. Well, new to us and I'm still on a quest for a Mexican restaurant that I love as much as La Hacienda Real.

We went to Ajuua!! and it was fabulous! It's Thirsty Thursday so margaritas were half price! Woot! I enjoyed a pomegranate margarita and he had some sort of large private label strong doozy. The food was awesome, chips and salsa amazing and good service.

Oh yes, we will go back!

Oooh Shiny!

The man and I went to see the new Thor movie today. Ooh wow is that good! I really recommend it!

After the movie, we went to check out Gordmans and that is quite the store! My massage therapist and customer Mackenzie recommended I go there for home dec stuff. Oh my yes! All sorts of good stuff.

Just check out these fabu shiny keys!

I think they would look wonderful hanging on a painted wall. Painted something other than white, of course.

I saw all sorts of cool artwork, holiday decor and yes, clothes. I have a feeling I'll be doing some holiday shopping there. Hopefully I'll find those keys still there when there's some extra money burning a hole in my pocket. ;-)

Storage is Sexy

Especially when a storage space can now storage more stuff, in an accessible way. And my shelves fit perfectly in the space!

Next, put away holiday decorations and other storage stuff. Yes, that means more stuff put away and not in the unloading zone in the basement. Progress!

New Hairdo!

Yes, I did it. It was time.

I found a new hairdresser and got my hair cut this afternoon.

I told her what I've been doing and liking and why, including keeping my bangs short.

"Why do you have bangs?"
"Because I was told when I was a kid that I have a high forehead and I should have bangs."
"You don't have a high forehead. Let's try growing out those bangs."

For a new stylist, she was direct, cool and had a point. So, my forehead is showing. Not all of it yet. And she showed me how to style my hair to get volume in it. Hey! Now if it stays all day, that's cool!

Now, can I style it like this in the morning? I hope so!

An Island Halloween

We celebrated Halloween on Saturday, Nov. 2 with a group of the man's friends. Well, I'm becoming part of the group too now. (yes!)

The theme: Gilligan's Island.

Oh what fun! We were the Skipper and Ginger. I'm liking being a redhead!

Mr & Mrs Howell were there, along with Mary Ann, Gilligan, the Professor, another Ginger and Skipper and a native! The other customers in the restaurant really had fun with us, too.
