Sigh. Joy. Sigh again. I am presently shopping for a dress to wear to Em's graduation. I loooove movies. We just watched the remake of Red Dawn. Was one of hubs favorite movies as a teenager. He was NOT happy with the remake. Imagine that. The movies I have and will watch over and over are...lord of the Rings trilogy, Pretty Woman, Forrest Gump, Dodge Ball, Bourne movies (with Damon), Princess Bride. The weather is gorgeous. Hubs is mowing, I am about to go running with Em, and then she'll go to work, we'll go to Fresh Market for our dinner and I am hoping to finally watch War Horse...I hear it is good.Blue Boobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504819843930360278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-26415063204186938132013-04-06T13:17:41.185-03:002013-04-06T13:17:41.185-03:00Your chair is excellent!

There was music playing and I could almost hear Mickey whisper "finally". I have to check the jewellry at winners - I was in there today and snagged the best calvin klein double breasted navy blazer one size too big which will be perfect for a spring coat!

Who knew?<br /><br />I enjoyed reading about your JCrew picks in an earlier post. Want to thank you for pointing out the Beechwood Twill Minnie pants. They arrived today and will definitely be one the basis of many an outfit for me also this spring.<br /><br />Have you checked out the Beach Ball bracelet (item 01681). Comfortable to wear and the colors are cheerful. Best of all, the size is not obtrusive yet it makes a statement. Have already paired it with a white shirt and the Beechwood Minnie pants for a simple daytime at home outfit.<br /><br />Don't now if your Winners stores carry the same stock as TJMaxx, but there seems to be a number of jewelry pieces lately at TJMaxx which are dead ringers for some of the JCrew pieces. Currently, you can get a lookalike for the Enamel braid bracelet (item 01932)in mint, light blue or tan for US$29.99.<br /><br />Your blog is one of my daily must reads. Good luck in your future ventures!magistrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626170164921088432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-60186774583894014992013-04-06T11:27:58.550-03:002013-04-06T11:27:58.550-03:00Walked out of Anna Karenina in 7 mins.

Congratulations to your son. Dress is too young, I think. And your chair is truly beautiful and I'm sure comfortable. Looking forward to seeing the finished room. It is sad about Roger Ebert - I think everyone feels that way. They both (Siskel and Ebert) died way too young, and had long, horrible illnesses - really tragic. It's really touched a nerve in me.KSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251064646063353242noreply@blogger.com
