A wonderful day so far. Took most of the kids to my mom's this morning (oldest son went on his own) and then took oldest daughter out on some fun errands. Home Depot to pick out a pink paint chip for the bathroom (and got sidetracked in the garden area and bought a Hoya plant which I didn't need, but wanted nonetheless---also called a Hindu Rope Plant and is supposed to purify the air, enhance my decor and calm my senses---we might be onto something here!), then to Michael's for some tea lights (vanilla), more of that cotton dishrag yarn called Sugar and Spice...I love that stuff (on sale at a buck), and then to Fresh Market (the decadent store of delicious indulgences) for some Mrs. Meyer's lavender cleaner, PG Tipps tea, and a Greek salad for my lunch. This salad is so good, it makes me want to cry. My taste buds just dance all over the place when I eat it---maybe once a month I buy myself one. Too delish.
I feel so content I could just melt on the spot. Having a bit of fun money is such a treat, and one that doesn't happen very often.
Will spend the rest of the afternoon puttering and tidying up a bit. The house needs a bit of love, and I want to read in-between spots of cleaning. That's my most favorite, and when everyone gets home, later on, I feel rested and the house look presentable. My gift to me and them.
As a treat to yourself, go visit Brocante Home's pinboard. So pretty. And after that, visit the blog Alison writes to go with it....she's the one who got me started on Mrs. Meyer's lavender. I'll forever be grateful. ;)
