Many more years than I care to mention I went on a trip up to Tennessee and I was so excited.  I thought we would get to stay in one of those Pigeon Forge cabin rentals and have just an awesome time.  Well I should have known better because my vacation up there consisted of us driving up the mountain then down again and passing by Dollywood.  It is really pretty from the ROAD!!!!  Now I am in a better place in my life with a partner that takes me places and we are planning a trip to Asia this summer.  No more drive bys through Pigeon Forge for me again.  It is a beautiful area up there so maybe we will try and plan a trip up there, and get out of the car this time.

Do you have some extra time on your hands and want to try something a little out of the ordinary?  How about making doll clothes for your collection or your little one?  When Lani was born she was smaller than a cabbage patch doll, these would have been perfect for her because even the preemie clothes were too small for her.  Have fun.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner people are not starting to look for out of the ordinary gifts to give their sweethearts. China Wholesale has put together a collection of gifts that are a little more fun than a box of chocolates. My favorite is the “I’m not a plastic bag” bag. If you are environmentally friendly check out this bag and help out the environment at the same time. If you want to go with something a little more romantic but still out of the ordinary check out the 24k gold plated rose. Now this is a flower that will not die and you can have it forever.

Finally all of the bras, small and large are the same price now according to Asda, the largest Britian food retailer.  Asda, is owned by Walmart and now you will not have those added extra dollars to pay when you get into the bigger sizes for bras.  We ALL pay the same price now.

We are going to pick up the Mazda for Michaela in a couple of months but while I was in

Matt’s company is going back to Vegas.  He is a little worried because with all of the other companies going he does not want to be stuck in some cheap hotel Las Vegas.  I don’t see how that is possible but hey.  His company is always getting the best of everything.  When he went to LA he was right next to Universal Studios I bet that was cool.  I am hoping one time when he goes I can go with him too because I have never been to

When we flew into Louisiana on Thursday I saw something I had never seen in all of the years I have been flying into Alexandria.  I don’t know if I just happened to be on the right side of the plane or if we just never came in on that side before but I was able to see the Outer Banks of the Red River.  It was so neat.  We came in over the new bridge, the train trussel, and the old bridge.  It really looks old from above.  It was really cool to see it.

Ok finally after my flight was cancelled and then delayed Lani and I finally made it home.  I thought I was doing so good catching an early flight so we would get home at 4:30 but instead with all of the crap that went on we did not make it back home until midnight last night.  I don’t even have to tell you the migraine I had when we walked through the door last night.  Thankfully Lani went right to sleep, I think because she was so happy to get back in her own bed.

New designs have been added to the Project Runway patterns at Simplicity.  Take a moment and check them out.  My favorite pattern is 3510.  I love the long dress.
