Summertime is Definitely Here

Well, as I told you, we are having a heat wave. Yesterday, it was 95 degrees here in HB. So I got absolutely no exercise until about 8 PM, when I walked the dogs. Before that, I did some errands. I got Elli some Blue Buffalo dog food, because that's what Annie eats, and Elli kept stealing from Annie's bowl.

Now she has her own. Then I went to Hobby Lobby (that place is dangerous) and got only what I was looking for, except for this one item.

It's a crocodile textured small footlocker that I needed to keep some stuff in. The way I have those things stored is so inconvenient that I tend not to use the things, since it's too much trouble. We'll see if this solves that laziness issue.


The fold top desk that we moved to our house had a keyhole, but no key. So I got a replacement.

I super glued it in the hole. Doc didn't really understand why I wanted to do that, but I like how it looks.

Then I went to Home Depot. We are getting the master bathroom repainted, and I want to replace the vanity light. Here's what I saw.

I like this one, but I don't love it.

These two are the same, only in different finishes. I have the bottom one in the guest bath, but I would need nickel for the master. They had a lot of this type of design, but I don't want the same fixture in both bathrooms. Too boring.

This one (in the middle) is the one I like the best so far. I still need to go to Lowe's to look before I make my decision.

Yesterday at work, we celebrated a co-worker's birthday. We had a taco bar.

The left Crock Pot has pork, and the right one has chicken. I was in charge of the beans and the tortillas.

There were two desserts - on the left are toffee brownies, and on the right is a jello/pineapple dish. It was good - it was pink inside, but tasted like pineapple.

So it's considerably cooler today. This is what I wore:

This satin botanical print dress is by BB Dakota. I have the same style, but in a totally different print. I always wear a tank top under it, because the neckline is too low for work.

On my right arm, my creepy green ring from Nordstrom, and two gold bracelets, one with peridots.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set, and two more gold bracelets, one with amethysts, and one with multicolored gemstones.

I doubled up on necklaces, one of each predominant color in the dress.

And I finished the outfit off with my green witch shoes.

Have a great day !!! Tomorrow, I am off to go to the dentist. Big fun.
