SPRING FEVER!!!!!!!!

Are you ready for some yardwork!

Hopefully the weather holds out so we can finish up some backyard projects that have been going on for way too long. Once the pond is redone, I will post some pics! My husband has this new idea to add a waterfall, so we will see how that goes. Then we need to finish his huge-mongus work shop that takes up 1/4 of the back yard. Then just the usual spring pruning, weed killing, and flower planting.

Man, I don't know why but spring fever makes me want to shop soooo bad! I have got to control myself! Maybe it has something to do with out with the old and in with the new. Man, I need some new!

No boss stories this week, she is in Dubai, I am sure to have lots to share next week with that. I am also traveling with her all next week in Colorado, that also makes for some great story telling.

Have a great weekend all!

Watch Out You Just Mught Get What You Wish For

I am soo trying to get this retail thing up and going. I find it hard to half ass do something though. I am an all or nothing kind of girl. I hate that I can't go at at 110%!!! I have had lots of intrest, but it seems once I get buying something I can't get that item anymore! It is very frustrating!! I did place 2 new orders yesterday, so we will see how these items go.
Here is one of the handbags:

Plus, the "shop" that I am going to put them in is still not ready to set up. So everything I have sold is by word of mouth. I am trying to stay on the positive side, but it just seems like it is taking too long to get up and going.

I am headed to Colorado next week to install the last hotel that we have financing for, so keep your fingers crossed that I still have a job when we get back! Or I will havae enough time to put 110% into my shop. I might just get what I have been wishing for!

Some things just are not for Barbie!

OK, I know I don't even have a little girl, but I cannot believe Barbie has come to this!

I heard this morning they have come out with Tatoo Barbie! WHAT! I mean I have nothing against tatoo's, (hell I have 5 of them!) but why the hell (excuse my language) are we saying to young girls that this is a "normal" thing.

Maybe I am over reacting, everyone has the temporary tatoo's for kids these days. I guess it is no different than that. But BARBIE really didn't have to go there did she? I guess once you have White Trash Barbie there is no going back :) HAPPY FRIDAY!

A Great Weekend Getaway

So last minute my husbands brother backed out of a weekend getaway for the company yearly awards banquet. We got the call Thursday morning to see if we could "fill in". After some scrambling to get the day off (not that we have anyting to do anyway), and get a baby sitter and pet sitter for the entire weekend we made it. It was at this great getaway about 30 mins west of Austin called Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort.

We arrived about 4pm on Friday afternoon, it was 90 degrees and beautiful. The banquet was that evening so we didn't get to check much out. Then when we awoke Sat morning it was about 50 degrees and too windy to do anything outside( which is pretty much what this whole place was about). I had tried to book a spa appt when we arrived , but they were already booked! Dang! I could have used that!

I can definatly see us bringing the entire family back here when the weather is nice. It sits in a nature reserve along the Colorado River. They have hiking, fishing, canoeing, rafting, horsback riding and a great water area with slide and lazy river. Then of course the golf and spa. They plan lots of kid activities and are pet friendly. (lots of people walking around with their dogs)

All in all it was a nice weekend, but if you know me and my husband, now we feel guilty for not "getting anything done" this weekend.
