Ready For The Disco!

This weekend I get to go to a 70's Disco costume party,
and this is my make up. I was deciding how dark to go.
The left eye won!
My girlfriend did it now I have to recreate it!
Sigh...........
Here is us afterward it was fun playing with make up!
She is so sweet!!!

Yesterday at the office, I did my workout and then got a hydro massage at lunch.
Love. it.

My salad, to fit into my costume.......
Chicken, strawberries, peacans and some cheese.

I am not sure what these are but they smell amazing!



And will be trimmed back when I get ready to do the landscaping.

It starts here on the left by the varigated bush.
I am up for the challenge now that I sold my sportscar I have space for the brush.

 
Have  a happy and safe Labor Day weekend!

Getting Organized!

Saturday my girlfriend came over on the porch and we had a fabulous time!
It was a perfect night for wine and to light up my little green lights on the banister.
You have to look really close ;-)

She arrived in her new car!!!
Fabulous :-)

We opened the wine, and espresso beans and she brought me some homemade body scrub wrapped with a green ribbon.

Our eats were, sushi, cheese, crackers and olives complete yummo of the senses!!!
The wine was a sweet red so this paired perfect.
We finished the night with the espresso beans in:
Mixed, Amaretto, and Dark chocolate.

Gracie chilling she got a hair cut!

Her cute close up.............

The view from the porch of my flowers in bloom.

The next morning I got up and had coffee on the porch and decided to get productive. Organizing for the fall, cleaning the closet and getting rid of and organizing my jewelry too.

Here is how it started.......

I used snack packs for my stuff, its perfect!

Then you just pull out what you need and bam...
FASHIONISTA!

I took the day off, well not because I was hung over but because it was my day off lol.

My 1985 Mazda RX7 Moves to Florida!

I sold my sports car I had since I was 23, it was just so sad!
I took a few shots to say bye-bye.
I thought it would stay in the family with my nephew but he got a truck and since I wasn't driving her I thought it was time to go to someone that would love her like I did. (do)
She's so cute!!!

They came with a HUGE tractor trailer, at the end of my driveway.
I had to coast her down.

And then they loaded her up on the bottom row!

I had to sit in the car, it was super scary seeing those cars go up and down on the hydraulics toward me....OMG!

I was sweating bullets :-(

But he got her loaded up in about an hour.

And still looking cute..........

Off she heads to a new home.
Florida.

It was a stressful time, but I didn't really need to keep her and I got a great price for her.
The guy was from Miami that came for her, his truck had the Florida plates.
My car made it to the beach before me :-)

A casual outfit my new top I love by Ann Taylor of course!
