Wander over to The Preppy Princess. She's hosting a Lilly Pulitzer stationary give-a-way. She has the rules posted on her blog.

Today was a nice relaxing day. I caught up with blogs and washed seven loads of clothes. After lunch, I went to Target to get some purple KoolAid (sugar-free, of course). While at Target, I bought a pink and green door mat. They only had one left and it was on clearance. I have a small space just inside my front door and I wanted a cheerful mat. I can't get used to the burst of color.

I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight. I usually have a hard time getting to sleep on Sunday night, but tonight I'm sleepy.

Have a good Monday.

I had to work at a bingo fundraiser today. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. I got there 2 hours before it started to help put desserts on trays. Somehow, another lady and I ended up doing all the work. Not only did we have to help with desserts, we had to serve, hand out prizes and clean up afterwards. Some lady sliced a ham and left the bones and scraps laying on a table. She never made the effort to clean it up, even after someone asked her if she wanted the bone and what ham was on it. I won two games. I won a book and a gift box with jams, tea and jam pot. The jam gift set may be donated to next year's bingo fundraiser. There was also a silent auction during all this. I bought a cookbook and a ruby teadrop pendant. I stopped by Barnes and Noble on the way home. When I got home, I laid down on the sofa and slept for about 30 minutes.

I think I may watch TV for the remainder of the evening. I'm exhausted.

Today was a quiet day at work and tomorrow promises to be even quieter. I hate days like this. They seem to drag.

I went to a meeting of my women's club after work. We are having a bingo fundraiser at a Catholic church on Saturday (that's the only place where you can play bingo, apparently it's a sin at other churches). There was a new woman there that tried to suggest that we change something. She got knocked down real quick. I think she got her nose out of joint. Oh well, she'll get over it. You would not believe her outfit. She had on red pants and jacket, a red and white blouse, red high heel boots with pointy toes, big red earrings, rings on every finger and a red bucket hat. She never took off the hat. I never could figure out why she had it on. It wasn't raining outside, it was sunny. And it was 49 degrees outside. I guess she thought she was chic in it. I think she may be someone that has to show off how much money she has. She has donated a lot of stuff for the bingo, but I don't feel like it is out of the goodness of her heart. I think she wants us to see that she can afford to.

Today, at work, we heard sirens outside. Of course, we had our noses pressed up against the window. Across the street, there were 4-5 fire trucks, 2 ambulances, 3 police cars and representatives from 2 TV stations. I emailed a friend that worked across the street. She said that someone in the next building was drilling grommets and there was some smoke that set off alarms. Why so many fire trucks? The firemen got out of their trucks in full uniforms and got out all of their equipment and axes. One good thing, the fireman were nice to look at. At least we were entertained for about 30 minutes.

Queenie was out sick yesterday. I'm assuming it was a digestive ailment. She claims that she ate some mayo that was in the fridge at work that was bad. She said that she didn't see a date on it, but ate it anyway. If I can't find a date on something like mayo or salad dressing, I don't eat it. She was also bragging about finishing a blanket that she was crocheting. She was supposed to be real sick.

Has anyone ever bought Eastland penny loafers? I am thinking of ordering a pair. I have narrow feet and the Bass does not come in narrow widths, but the Eastlands do. They look almost like the Bass Weejuns that I wore in college. Also, spring will be here before you know it, especially here in the South. I need some shopping advice. I like straight skirts that are about 30". I have a few from LL Bean, but they don't carry them any more. Does any one know of a brand that does? Also, I like the straight shifts. Any besides Lilly Pulitzer?

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good. I went to Huntsville Saturday. I didn't make any interesting purchases.

Yesterday, I watched the Super Bowl. I'm glad that the Steelers won. I thought Jennifer Hudson did a great job on the Star Spangled Banner.

There is a floor in our building that was recently vacated. There's a table up there that I want. It has a cherry finish and Queen Anne style legs. The top is scratched and dirty, but the front and legs are in good shape. I want to bring it home to use as a TV table. I figure that I can clean it and then put a table runner over the top. I asked Queenie's boss and he referred me to a lady that handles the properties. I haven't heard back from her. I should have asked my boss. He might have told me to just go get it and take it home. I figured that I needed to go through the proper channels. If I have to buy it, I don't want to pay a lot for it. It's not worth that much. Wish me luck.

A friend of the family has started a website. It is called The American Gourmet. The recipe for hot wings is my brother in law's. Shelly would love for you to stop by and visit.
