Fall trees

This is the road to my girlfriends country home. Isn't Minnesota gorgeous in the fall...It really is glorious! People come from all over the country come to see the fall leaves changing. Fall is my favorite season...by October I need a change...I love to bring my wool sweaters, tall boots, and leather. I love the smell in the air and I love the thought of getting ready to hibernate for the winter.

book club...

I read my first book for book club.

It's pretty amazing since I hadn't been motivated to read for a long time. It's not that I don't like to read but I love to blog surf, create, and watch t.v. I wish there was more time to read because I could really get sucked into books like I used to but other things seem to relax me more these days.

I got a Kindle and I can download any book I want any time I want. Andy and I are going to split it and take turns reading our books and newspapers...although what's going to happen when he travels?

Our meeting was a blast. It was 5 other women whom I never knew before which was really great spending time with people who I don't know and speaking on a different level. I made everyone a book mark but of course I didn't take pictures of them...seriously- I need to remember to DOCUMENT!

The book we read was fantastic! It's called Firefly Lane by Kristen Hannah. It's about a relationship between two unlikely girls in the 70's, who meet when one of the girls moves next door. We follow their relationship for decades and watch them learn, love, and leave this earth. All the women in the group loved the book and could relate to at least something in this book. It's a great book club read but it's super long, so make sure you start right away. Oh yeah, if you have enough time go to kristinhannah.com and ask Kristin to call you at your book club discussion...she never called us but I registered and asked her to...bummer!

Sukkah

Sukkot is a joyous occasion (the day of our rejoicing) Jewish holiday which symbolizes the time God provided for the Israelites in the wilderness they inhabited after they were freed from slavery in Egypt. A Sukkah is a temporary hut constructed for use during the week-long Jewish festival of Sukkot. It is topped with branches and often well decorated with autumnal, harvest themes...the sukkah itself symbolizes the frailty and transience of life and its dependence on God.

time will pass me by

Image found here

most of the time it feels like time is passing by in front of my eyes. that the time is passing by but that i dont know where it goes, or where to look for it. i judge the time by my children. i read the time by the stacks of chores that pile up. i know that soon i will be in a different cycle of life. if i don't get all of it done i will be passed by in a moments time.

NEVER FORGET

GO TO SLEEP

When will they all go to sleep?
It's only the 3rd day of waking up early for school and I got up earlier then I wanted to. I have to take a shower, get the kids lunches ready, get them up and dressed, fed, organized.
It's so much work!!!


It's late
I want to go to sleep...
why don't the kids?
I am not used to moving so quickly so early in the morning-
will I ever be?

♥Marilyn Monroe♥

Today is the day that that Marilyn died 47 years ago. I can't believe that it's been 47 years already-Marily was only 36! The photograph above was the from the last sitting she had with Bert Stern, so I think it's fitting to put it up on the anniversary of her death.

Marilyn was ranked 1999, as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute. She's gorgeous, sexy, and such a mystery.

My hair

I need a haircut/color so badly.

I thought I would see if I could find some pictures of hairstyle idea's, instead I found these retro pictures on this retro website.
A must for excellent retroness.

It's nice to see a salon that specializes in UP-DO's...was this the decade i was born in?

Love the slogan...
“Waging war on the front lines.”
For 10 bucks, you can get a pink camo print U-shaped disc that slips right into the cotton flap in the crotch of your panties, which prevents your lady bits from going toe up.
I read it works great with leggings and skinny jeans.
I haven't had any problems but my mother-in-law battles
this insane issue.

Fall colors

TFL has released its new 'Color Trends & Fashion Inspirations' catalog for the autumn / winter 2009/10 season.

Chic shades are inspired by digital prints and holograms. This trend is dominated by solid and cold tones. Midnight blues and earth tones as well as deep pink are opposing and in that way creating a world of playful patterns. The interaction of functional blues and structured browns open out onto turbulent explorations that burst forth in stormy alchemies.

The Classic world is characterized by diluted color effects. Clean and earthy colors play a big role in this section. In curious combinations they seem to be like an experiment. Brown and green tones mixed together create a hint of mystery in combination with gray and foggy shades.

Casual colors reflect the style of mixed technologies. Juicy orange tones, drunken scarlets and neutral nuances combine in a dangerous relation. The way how a dynamic brilliance and shining is created seems like a magic formula. Pavement grays brought together with dazzling lights are a contrast to passionate and theatrical tones.

My favs are...I love the browns and Bordeaux. I'm going to start showing you my wish list of clothing- I maybe in over my head with that huge idea but I may want to look back at it in a few year's and thank g-d that it was only on a wish list instead of hanging in my closet.
