Ok, here's the scoop...I am redoing the bathroom. Tom and I went shopping, found a rug we liked and decided to buy it. Of course, it did not match the rest of the bathroom, so...I just have to redecorate it now. I am getting there, but have a way to go. I took before pics this time (I know, I don't believe it either), and once I'm done, I will show before and after pics (I'm so glad I remembered to do this for once). But I have a dilemma, I am having trouble picking new glass shades for my light fixture. So here are just a few that I like (I deleted some of them), so what do you think? (I have posted a copy of the rug too...and an FYI, I went with the chocolate brown and teal colors in the rug). My fixtures are silver, my walls, floors, cabinet, tub, etc. are all white. Excited to see what you pick. Thanks for you help in advance.

WHAT A KLUTZ!

Yup...that's me! What was supposed to be a walk around the park with my daughter and us taking my 2 puppies, Koty and Gizmo, well......it turned into a "really graceful FALL! for me!" We actually walked about 1 block, turned a corner, got to an alley and whoops...down I went. There was an alley with the exit in concrete, rocks all over the concrete, my foot hit the rocks, they acted like marbles and you guessed it! Down I went. Nothing broken, but a goose egg on the arm, a rock & bruise in the left hand and down on my knee right on a rock! Graceful, yikes, NOT! Sore, and aching all day...yyyyyeeeeessss! siree! So gimpy for a couple of days, and I think I keep my walking, for now, at Club Fitness on the treadmill (no rocks!)

ACHY BREAKY HEART!!!!

Is he good lookin or what?!






Wow! Friday morning I was at work, received a phone call from Joi, and found out that Billy Ray Cyrus may be coming to Park Grill in Granite City within an hour. Me being at work...I was trying to find a way to get someone to go see him and take pics for me! Well low and behold, I was working the early shift for Chuck (he works this weekend) and he was home! I called, he went, he seen, he took pictures and brought them to me! He even shook Billy Ray's hand, then shook mine (you know, to transfer the goodie feel!). Oh well, I know not everyone likes Billy Ray, but I do! I have now tried to see him, up close and personal, 6 different times, like at Fan Fair, Duquoin Fair, etc. Next year, I am joining his fan club and each year after, until I get to Fan Fair, go to his personal party where he holds his meet and greets. I never have been signed up the years I go, or I am signed up too late to get tickets! NOT ANYMORE! He was here in GC and I missed him!!!! But... for those who like him like I do! Enjoy the pics, my great friend CHUCK, brought back to me!

!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOI !!!

THIS IS A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISH FOR MY WONDERFUL DAUGHTER! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND HOPE YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE 26 YEARS OLD TODAY! "YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE!" AND YOU ARE MY HEART. I LOVE YOU! LOVE MOM AND TOM
