Car wash

Interesting mix of people in line at the wand wash on a Friday night. 

I'd say mostly moms escaping their families and guys in hot cars. 

Guess which one I am.

Chandelier Update

My beautiful chandelier is FILTHY.  It is taking forever to clean.  

Fun fact:  Allison was mentioning it and said "girl, you can find the beauty in anything".  At first I was honestly suprised when she said that.  I mean - who WOULDNT love that thing?  But then I looked at the pictures.  Yeah.  It's scuzzy. 

As inspiration - I'm going to post some pictures of what I hope it will look like once I scrub all the dirt off. 


So pretty.  


So many little details.  It seems to have all it's crystals.  I have no idea what are original.  From what I can find online it is a 1950/60's Spanish Style Chandelier.  Some places say French style.  I can't find out info on WHY it's called this. 

Ok, I am supposed to be washing dishes.  Better get on that.

Happy Birthday TREENA!

Treena sent me this today.  She has joined the ranks of Fabulous Women in our Forties. 



I totally love it and agree with all of it.  When I turned 30 I stopped caring so much if my house was a mess.  Now I'm 40 and I feel even more free.  Yet also more motivated to take care of myself. 

The most important thing (for me) is learning to "love the one your with".  AKA - be comfortable in this skin, in this body, now.  B/c lets' be real here - it's not going to look this fabulous in 20 years.  It's going to be a different kind of fabulous, sure.  So I'm appreciating this fabulous body now - and then I'll love the 60 year old body when it shows up.

It's so heavy. I'm sure it's solid brass. 

And soooo filthy.
