Is it just me, or do y'all miss the old A&E network? I used to turn to A&E when there was nothing else on. I enjoyed Inspector Frost, Midsomer Mysteries, Biography and series like The House of Elliott. Now, they show Dog, the Bounty Hunter, Intervention and some Gene Simmons reality show. They used to show quality television. I really don't know how to describe it now. I keep hoping that one day they'll come to their senses and return it to the way it was and was probably meant to be.

I hope everyone has a good Thursday.

Yesterday was a beautiful day, and the temperature was just right..not too hot and not too cool. I took advantage of the nice weather and ran a few errands.

Today, it is cloudy and cool. I stopped by Barnes & Noble on the way home and picked up the two latest paperbacks by Laura Childs. If you like mysteries, you'll like Laura Childs. I read the Tea Shop mysteries and the Cackleberry Club mysteries.

I'm thinking about taking a short trip to Natchez soon. Has anyone been? I would love some suggestions for restaurants and shopping. While there, I plan on touring Monmouth, Stanton Hall, Longwood, and a couple of other historic homes. Any suggestions?
One more thing. Don't forget that Mother's Day is coming up. Check out A. Tierney and get 20% off.




I hope everyone has a good Tuesday.

I was up until after midnight last night waiting on the last bad storm to pass through. It weakened before it got here. I woke up to sunny skies. Everything is so nice and fresh and clean outside. I've always noticed that the air is fresh and clean the day after a bad storm. I guess it blows all of the pollution and pollen away.

I'm doing laundry right now. I found some more clothes that I can finally fit into. It made my day. I have a few more loads to go.

After lunch, I am going to go to Target, Belks, The Fresh Market and then ride by BFF MAB's new house. I didn't get out yesterday, so I'm going to make up for it today.

Since I broke my foot, I've been having to deal with things that I took for granted. I have to be really careful in most of the things that I do. I have trouble wiping my feet and moving doorstops. When bad weather is on the way, I can barely walk. This morning my foot is so much better.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday. Back to my laundry.

I had so much planned to do this weekend, but mother nature made sure that my plans didn't happen. BFF MAB bought a new house. I was going to drive by and look at the outside (the seller still lives there). After checking out the house, I was going to do several errands. First, the weatherman said that we were going to have rain. I thought that instead of errands, I would stay home and watch a few episodes of Season 2 of Mad Men. Now, the weatherman says that we could have a tornado...or two...or three. Now, I have to keep an eye on the weather. That is one of the disadvantages of living in Alabama. We have nice temperatures in the spring, if you don't get blown away by a storm.

Since I have to stay inside, I decided that I would do a few household chores. I got a lot done. After my chores, I decided to put on something fun and colorful. So I have on a turquoise polo by Lilly along with my light khaki capris. I also have on pearls, of course.

I hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. I hope the weather is better where you live.

Today after work, I stopped by Bed, Bath & Beyond. I bought a new SimpleHuman trash can. I have been intending on buying one for a while, but when I saw that you got a free mini trash can, I decided to go today. I also bought my mother one.

After I left BB&B, I headed to Belk's. I bought some Kiehl's face cleanser and then headed upstairs. I tried on some Lilly dresses, but did not buy one. I'm undecided about which one I like best. I'm going to think about it for a couple of weeks.

I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday. I don't think I can take another day in this week.

I hope everyone has a great Friday.

Today, I had my first headache since December. I used to average about 4 sinus headaches a week. Since the orthopedic surgeon prescribed an arthritis drug for my foot, I have not had a headache until today. With the drug, I cannot take aspirin or ibuprofen. All I can take is Tylenol. I had a hard time finding anyone at work who had some Tylenol that they could loan me. I finally found some about 2:15. In no time, my headache was gone. What was so great, was that my legs were not as stiff this afternoon.

I felt so great when I got home, that I worked around the house and got a lot of chores taken care of. Now all I have to do Saturday morning is dust and vacuum.

I tried on some more of my clothes this afternoon. They are fitting much better. That will give me more things to wear when the weather turns warmer. I can't wait for warmer weather so that I can wear my Lilly dresses that I bought last summer.

I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

I went to the dentist this morning and had a great check-up. I have a great dentist. She is always so positive and upbeat. I love having my teeth flossed at the dentist office. It is like having my hair washed at the beauty shop. I know, that's weird.

Queenie is out this week on vacation. I have it by myself. It was slow until after lunch and then it got busy. I hope the remainder of the week is busy. It will make the time go faster.

Does anyone else watch The Big Bang Theory? I think that is one of the funniest shows on TV right now. I never miss it. Everyone at work watches it, and we always discuss it on Tuesday mornings. I record Gossip Girl so that I can watch Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
