i've been making these headbands lately, i've had a few people tell me i should sell them. didn't really think much of it until lately. the last couple times i've worn them i've ended up selling them to strangers (one transaction happened in the baking aisle of target). so i'm gonna give it a try.... if you want one email me at themayes5@yahoo.com here's a few......

dear mysterious nordstrom worker #2,

thank you for putting the wrong tag on the bottom of my shoes, the shoe's were marked $33.00 but should of been marked at $59.00! you rock! they gave them to me for the price shown! -me

dear me,

your patience paid off! you got a $ 109.00 shoe for $33.00. you also rock! now what the crap are you going to wear it with??? you have nothing that color! -me

fiRsts

so, i'm making my FiRst thanksgiving meal! we always go to in-laws for lunch but not this year. my sister mikell got invited to cheer in the maceys day parade so mom and sister are in n.y.c. having a blast (slightly jealous). so that leaves dad and katie home. so i invited them over... i feel like i've been living in my kitchen all day! i've never made turkey or stuffing or yams or homemade crusts... so i'm feeling a little nervous about this whole feast of ours. i'm confident about one thing though, my napkin rings....i had to find something to do while the pies were baking! here's hoping my turkey is moist, my rolls raise, my pies flaky, my yams... yammy??? not sure what yams should be, shoot...can i mess up a yam, not sure we will see.

loving these thought/quotes:


** god gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" ~william a.. war


**the pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. ~h.u. westermayer

** If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get. ~frank a. clark

** he is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has. ~epictetus

** not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~w.t. purkiser

** gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all. ~william faulkner

** we often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. ~cynthia ozick

** hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel. ~author unknown

sophie to-do list for after school.... i love #2 work on song with guitar, didn't know she wrote songs, must ask her about this! :)

Why I dOn't haVe tiMe to BloG.....

so i've often listened to my book-loving friends discuss these books and inside i'm thinking, gees my pals are true-blue nerds! :) until the book was chosen for book club, and thought i better give it a chance... immediately hooked! which is rare! i've got like 15 pages of the 2nd book left and i don't want to read them.... because i have a feeling it's gonna leave me guessing, and the third one doesn't come out till the middle of next year!

Go pEEta!

i'm pRetty sUre....

* someone was missing my blog posts

* i've never known my own strength
* i found the best pair of jeans ever
* i'm over the cupcake pic's on my side bar
* i'm addicted to almond steamers at the family fresh supermarket
