About: Every Wednesday I will be blogging about five or less lovely things I am currently enamored with. I would like to extend my invitation to you all to play along and share your Lovely List.

Rules: There are really no rules. Your lovelies can be home decor related, favorite blogs, collectibles, food/recipes, people, fashion, TV shows or movies you love. Music you can't love without this moment in time :) Anything! Get listing people. As I mentioned, it will be a Wednesday feature but I will start today with an introduction and you may play along now if you wish. Just drop me a message and tell me you want to play!

Here is my first list:

GLEE! This little show represents the joy I feel when I sing. And I sing-alot. Everywhere. I am a Gleek. And proud of it. And yes, I have my own 'greatest hits' repertoire.



I love tea-and Earl Grey is one of my most beloved teas. But Lady Earl, you are my new tea-love. Soooo lovely.



What is that lovely smell? Oh that is my Scentsy warmer-and the smell? Beach baby.



Honestly, this is just a quick and easy list. This is just a sample of my lovely things...next week should prove to be even more Lovely, with your help!

What's a girl to do?

Mid-week already? This week is fkying by right infront of me and there isn't a darn thing I can do to stop it! Last night was really fun. Hats off to Tom Petty-he sings, well, like Tom Petty-but he doesn't sound old and broken. Mr C and I went to Fatburger prior to the show (a tradition for us before each concert). I can't believe I eat at a place called Fatburger-but it is so good!

Today's task list is quite lengthy and unfortunately I am still fighting this darn chest/head thing.
I have some runnig around to do-well just to the grocery store but when?! I need to clean the house for my little party this evening, bake strawberry muffins, get ready for Trifecta day (which is also TODAY at 1300) and my guests will start to arrive around 5pm. I really better get started!!

The weather has been terrible as far as allowing me to get any refinishing done. I have 2 pieces I would like to start NOW but alas, mother nature is not on my page. Can I put my order in for sunshine please? Starting today and going until September 30? That should do it. Ok, a couple days of light rain (no more than 5 days) is fine.



This picture is of Me & Rocketgirl getting ready for tonight. Can you tell who is who?

Have a wonderful Wednesday...and keep your eyes peeled laer tonight for a list perhaps...

huggs,

Busy little 'B'

Sorry I have been missing in action for a few days but I have been busy painting (surprised yet??) But I painted our upstairs main bathroom. If I never have to cut in again it will be too soon! But it looks sooo fresh and clean. The color I painted the walls in my house is Amiskwi by General Paint. The swatch online is not at all a good representation of the color. I love this color done with a nice crisp white trim :) So that task ate up 2 days of my set off. But its done! I just need to accessorize. Seems like a difficult task-I am being so indecisive!!

Now I am back to work-2 days down and 2 to go. It is so busy on the unit-i was in bed before the sun went down last night! And if you know me...I am a true night owl! My in-laws came over tonight and had coffee :) Very nice visit!

I am hosting a Scentsy party on Wednesday and absolutely cannot wait! The wickless candles smell so delish! Good friends and chit chat!

Tuesday is Tom Petty! Joe Cocker is opening for him-total bonus! (Wonder Years theme song Rocketgirl?) Cannot wait for that...Mr Cupcake and I really love Tom Petty-been waiting a good while to see him. We are totally concert people. We have seen so many artists. From country to rock to pop. Love them. Best ones we have seen are Coldplay, No Doubt, Blue Rodeo, oh gosh-really how can we narrow it down? Gwen Stefani is awesome live. Bryan Adams. I cant pick-Billy Joel. George Jones. Randy Travis. So many. Music is a big part of my life. Can't go a day without singing. I think I drive my co-workers nutso. Today, something triggered me to sing "Knights in White Satin" My word-I am a musical gal.

I will likely have pics soon. Rocketgirl and I have been wracking our brains trying to think of a Wednesday "list" feature on our blogs. I think we have a name at last. "the Lovely list" Basically we will post (and ask our friends to as well) a 'list' of things we are feeling lovely about (things, people, places-whatever! Pictures are worth a thousand words so we hope to have pictures posted of the listed items. Look forward to this on Wednesday and please! if you would like to list with us let us know! We have found so many inspiring features on blogs we frequent we had to do it too! So this is our little list. We hope it to be Lovely.

Talk soon,

I am feeling pretty flu-ey today. No wit in this brain. Where is my kitty?



I am going to make like Holly Golightly and sleep. Goodnight all,

Bon Appetite!

Just for the record. I am a baker. I bake. Quite well.

Exhibit (A)



What I do not claim to be is a cook. Mr. Cupcake is the chef of the house. He is quite good too. I am grateful for his skillz. Yo. So Mr. C and I were watching TV one night and we were captivated by old reruns of Julia Child's cooking show. We were instantly in love with her. One of the best episodes is where she is teaching all about all the different chicken sizes and their uses. Just great. I really wanted to get her book, you know the one. The one used in the adorable movie Julie and Julia. I love that movie! It really disillusioned me into thinking I could follow her recipes too! Well the adorable Rocketgirl herself gifted me the book! It is so cute! So, thank you RG for the wonderful treat! But it scares me beyond the cover.



Thank you so much for this RG! I will need some prayer...from a lot of folks for my cooking adventures to come...
