Can you believe it’s September already? I always feel like shopping for pencils and plaid skirts, even after all these years. I’ll have to content myself with new mascara and maybe a lipstick for now, tho……

I can still feel this Mercury retrograde; communications are a little slow, plans are a little haywire, but it’ll be over soon. The planets are strong.

HAPPY FREAKIN’ HUMPDAY GANG; anyone else tired because of a furry ball of love was biting their face off all night? My Hugo has got to realize he can’t go out at night because of the coyotes!

THEY ARE AWFULLY MEAN!!!

Don’t you love a new pedicure? I’m currently into green with sparkles; a bit young for me, but really at my age I figure my toes can be any color I want!!!

I feel from today till like Sept. 7th we should ALL just get to stay home, go on  vacation, chill out, whatever-just NOT work. We need a break! Well, everyone except the nice folks that make ice cream; that’s a most important function and I’m afraid they have to show up to work. Sorry.

Darlings; off to Vashon now – will think of you as I’m dancing on the beach and um….celebrating life! Update Monday – have a great weekend!!           lotsa xoxox          m

So I’ve been all “I’m not shopping” and “budgeting is my life”, right? Well, I had a slip and fall accident on Nordstrom.com yesterday….and new shoes are on the way. At least they were on sale. Ack!

Yup, spending the weekend with the girls…well, ok, the ‘women of a certain age’…. at a cool house on the beach over on Vashon. Talking, laughing, great food, and lotsa wine. All women know the vast importance of girl time and I for one can’t wait!! Testosterone can be so tiring, don’t you think?

All week on Fitz in the Morning we’ve been talking about what he’s doing for Bethany’s birthday. We had that wonderful audio from all her family and friends on the actual day, but there’s something else – and it’s big! Listen to Fitz’s Journal tomorrow around 9, cuz I’m gonna spill the proverbial beans. Don’t you just love surprises?

So I’m trying to NOT buy stuff and re-use the tons of clothes I have, but I still think I need a new bag for fall. Preferably a kicky zebra print……any ideas on good high quality yet bargain priced purse websites?? thanks!
