It looks awesome. I remember feeling totally liberated when I cut off the last straight strands of my hair

It's so cool to see how you've enjoyed your free time. I kind of want the kids to stay little forever, but am secretly looking forward to having "me" time once they go to school.

Thank you, Gina. We had the most interesting/weird/incredible childhood. I thank my parents for everything, the good and the bad.

Hi Holly! Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm always unsure of my outfits because I tend to lean more towards the quirky than the conservative (I think it's a result of growing up in Europe). But I do love clothes and all things girly.

Thank you. I have so much fun here and the people I've met are fabulous. Love all the hints, tips and words of encouragment that I receive.

What is it with these girls and guitars? LOL

Awwww, you bought your own bike. Bet you felt like a grown up with it. I bought a Nefertiti necklace. Need I say more? LOL

She's loving her guitar! And, actually, it's not so bad for us either (it could've been a drum kit). :-)

Your book purchases doesn't surprise me! I bought a gold Nefertiti necklace with my first paycheck. I still have the necklace but don't wear it. What was I thinking?

Short or long hair, it is adorable curly. Heck, you're adorable!! No matter what you wear, you wear it with so much 'elan' that you make it work. You have the knack for being completely natural, like you just threw it on, and it was no big deal because, of course, you have a closet stuffed with fabulous finds. ; ) I'm definitely loving the handbag, and really the whole darn outfit with the tan sweater. Your style is a lot like my own, and I hope I look even half as cute.

Nice. I have a 15 year old daughter too...and she recently got exposed to a bass guitar and came running home asking for one...lol...

My first purchase was a 10 speed bike...all the cool kids had one and my parents refused to buy me one...too much money...so I saved and saved and bought it myself...It was so cool.

Tonya, thanks for stopping by. Funny how in mirrors, things look one way and then in pictures it's like a whole nother deal. Or maybe that's just me. LOL

I'll see if I can edit the other two comments out...

I've found that craft stores have some of the best stuff. I've purchased jewelry and things from the Hobby Lobby as well.

About the colors, are you guys protesting something or it a team spirit sort of thing?

Gina, my only requirement when we moved and were looking for a new home was that it had a special place for my coffee and espresso makers. :-)

Hi Mila! Thank you, yep, that's me. That window is THE best place for taking pictures in my house except sometimes I forget about the flowers in the back and they end up looking like they're growing out of my head. LOL

Re: Coffee Love {This or That Thursday}

DaenelT — Fri, 11 May 2012 10:49:13 -0000

I know, right? I enjoy them both.

Gorgeous shots- I am always obsessed with my coffee. I can't live without it.

Well, I guess both comments made it through :- l Yes, when I see photos of myself, it makes me realize what I need to do as well. And adding color is one of my goals too. This won't let me change the name...

I found the cutest bangle at Michael's, of all places, and it's a rainbow of color. It has inspired me to grab for more color this week.

Tomorrow we've been asked to wear red--it's a union thing, and then Friday black. Hm...

Mine comes in waves. I can go for a long time just buzzing around and then all of a sudden I'm like OK, this body isn't moving. I don't want to go outside, I don't want to see people, I just need time to not even think.
