5 Things

The lovely Kathleen tagged me to answer these 5 questions. Please go & check out her site to see where she & hubby start their day. Lucky Duckies!!!

Speaking of lucky - yesterday was tax day (nope, nothing lucky about that). I was at the post office to send mucho deniro to the IRS & NY State & feeling pretty bummed. Well, not for long because 2 packages were waiting there for me. Kathleen & Leslie sent me B-Day treats. It was about 10 days ago & I didn't want to make a fuss about it, but my girls did! Boy, did they spoil me; pretty notecards, chocolate bars & a retro creative journal kit from the Paper Princess herself. Ms. Liquid Sky Arts sent handmade jewelry, stationary, pretty paper flowers & some baby chick-a-dees all wrapped up so gloriously. Thank you my California girls! You truly know how to make a girl feel special. And it could not have come at a better time!!

5 MINUTES TO YOURSELF - I'd grab a cup of green tea & spend it on the computer surfing the net or checking emails.

5 BUCKS TO SPEND RIGHT NOW, HOW WOULD YOU SPEND IT? I'd buy a craft or home improvement/decorating magazine.

5 ITEMS IN YOUR HOUSE YOU COULD PART WITH RIGHT NOW, THAT YOU HADN'T THOUGHT OF ALREADY? Hmmm. This is a tough one, since I'm an organizer, I tend to purge often. I had to walk through my place a few times to find some stuff. All of the wax, wicks, etc that my man bought me one Xmas for candle making. I took a class & it wasn't really for me (sorry hon). Some old videos that I do not watch anymore like - "What About Bob" & "Beauty & the Beast". Funky plastic margarita glasses that I've been saving in case we have another Margarita Sunday Party. The huge sombrero that I'm saving for the same purpose. Old home magazines.

5 ITEMS YOU ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT PART WITH IN YOUR HOUSE. I had a much easier time with this. My computer; cookbook binder that has all of the recipes from my family, notes, stories, etc; Portrait that Tom draw of me. There are several copies out there, but, I have the original; Photo albums; Asian cast iron teapot.

5 Words You Love
Amazing
Sure - I use it constantly when working in the restaurant, but not ever in my "real" life.
Poopy - I know it's bad, but Tom & I say it all the time; "Why are you poopy today? Do not be so poopy."
80's Style - Kyle(Tom's son) taught me this & I love it.
Sweetie - My nickname for Tom. It's pretty funny when we are arguing & I'm yelling & calling him sweetie.

Taxes drain the life out of me too. I don't think you should throw out those margartia glasses & sombrero just yet... it might just be a great way to celebrate surviving another tax year. ;)

Great answers to the meme, thanks so much for playing!

I had so much fun color coordinating while putting your package together, I had to throw in a few little chicks for good measure. :)

These are all so very interesting!

Thanks for stopping by today and for your comment. I hope that maybe by posting this even if just one person actually stops smoking it will have been a very good thing to do.

OMG!
I had been peeking at your site. . . at an old post. And then it "dawned" on me that, duh, hit "REFRESH." A bunch of posts I've missed! Gah!

Anyway, green tea always makes my day. And surfing the net too? Sounds divine!!!

I hope your b-day was grand!
