Hiya Blogland!!! I'm still alive and sort of kicking! ! It's been a while since I've posted. I have limited time I can sit at a computer comfortably. I've been using the time crafting or sewing. I've finally got the tablet picture and posting thing worked out so hopefully I'll be more active. I have been reading and keeping up with everyone's b logs even if I'm not commenting.<br />
<br />
Brief update on the back injury. I'm still out on disability workers comp (over 6 months-yuck). I have severe sciatica and back pain due to a bulging disc, discal cyst, discal protrusion and sprained, inflamed spinal ligament. They gave me a spinal steroid epidural about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help the pain. Unfortunately so far nothing. They may possibly try another next month pending the results of the nerve c induction test they did this week. I am becoming more resigned to having back surgery. Anyway...enough whining!!! Lol<br />
<br />
The BIG news that has me over the moon is we are going to be grandparents in early October. For Mother's Day Julie and Sean had Linda (Stan's mom) and I accompany them to their 20 week doctor's appointment. This visit would involve an ultrasound and the revealing of Baby Peanuts gender. Lauren the hustler also was able to join us as he had to drive me.<br />
<br />
It was AMAZING!! Seeing the heart beating and the baby moving. It was snoozing on it's tummy with its little legs drawn up under it and the little butt up in the air. When the tech would press the wand down, a little arm would come up and swat it away!!<br />
<br />
And it was pretty obvious to see that Baby Peanut is........<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
A BOY!!!!</h3>
<div>
We are thrilled!! I've already bought him a little camo onesie!! He's the size of a cola can and weighs 11 Oz. I call him Baby Cletus!!</div>
<div>

And a nice this is a style *snerk* blog this is what I was wearing:</div>

The sweater is thrifted and old. I ordered the maxi online from Kmart. It's Jaclyn Smith- I love her stuff. I wanted a couple more maxis as almost all of mine from last year were too big. Thank heaven's for online shopping as my thrifting days are very limited.</div>

Hiya Blogland!!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!! A happy Easter to all who celebrate, too!!<br />
<br />
Our daughter will be coming over for Easter dinner along with the hubster's parents. I'm anxious to see her little baby bump!!! She says she can feel the baby moving a bit. There will be baby bump pictures later this week....LOLOLOL<br />
<br />
I totally spaced taking pix of my holiday tree dressed for Valentine's and St. Paddy's days. I got the tree on clearance after Christmas and stuck it in a spray painted thrifted planter. I plan on adding some white mini-lights when I change it out for the patriotic season (Memorial day thru July 4th) The ornaments are from the Dollar Store and Christmas Tree Shoppe.<br />
<br />
For my not-so-exciting life I wore this to go to the Motor Vehicles office to get a new handicap tag. The sweater is Coldwater Creek/thrifted (I have worn this thing a lot this winter!!, Tshirt is Walmart, Jeans are Faded Glory/Walmart, Shoes-TomMcCann/Kmart (old). Walmart has these tshirts by Hanes every year. I got these online for $5 each. They have a nice design and some glitter to spice them up.<br />

This is what I wore to church today. I stopped in a consignment store near the physical therapy place I'd never been in. It was really nice--adult clothes only and reasonably priced. This dress still had it's $78 tags on it and was priced at $10.99. It's an airy chiffon fabric in my fav colors!! The shoes are my thrifted 9west flats that seems to have become my "church" shoes. <br />

Hiya Blogland!! I'm still having connection issues with the camera and new tablet. The port thingy they just sent STILL doesn't work. We are heading out this weekend to Best Buy to talk with a Samsung guy and get the right one. sometimes mail order isn't the best way!! Hubby has been using his laptop for final projects in school so I have to catch a moment when I can!<br />

This is how I put a bird on it--LOLOL. I saw this sweater online at Kmart and fell in love. It's a nice silky cotton knit. The skirt is lace and still had the $59 tags on it. This outfit reminds me of something sweet <a href="http://notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Patti </a>would wear!!<br />

I'm not able to do much thrifting these days. Thankfully I had put aside some Spring/Summer goodies last fall during my thrift-a-thons. A good bit of my wardrobe is still packed up and will remain so. Thank heavens for online shopping. The striped Apt.9 tops above were on sale and with some Kohl's cash I was given and coupons I was able to get them for around $8 each--which is thrift store prices in my area.<br />
<br />
I plan on commandeering the hubster's computer again for Visible Monday if I must. Everyone have a fantastic weekend!!<br />

Hiya Blogland!! How is everyone doing??? It looks like Spring has finally arrived in Western Maryland!! Last nite a bunch of ladies came to my house for a get together to celebrate Andrea's birthday. She asked that we all wear animal print. I pulled out the awesome leopard caftan that Misfit Sarah sent me. <br />
<br />
<br /><br />
Baby Peanut is 14 weeks and doing well. Mommy is tired a great deal and just starting to wear maternity pants.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
Life is the same old , same old here. The back is still crapola. The MRI showed a bulging disc, cyst on the disc caused by a tear that leaked on one side, a protrusion on the other side of the disc and the spinal ligament is inflamed and enlarged. Sigh..... All if this is causing the pain and sciatica. Still doing physical therapy and stuck at home. The orthopedic doctor had me take a massive dose of steroids this week to see if it will make the inflammation go down and ease the pain. If this doesn't work then it's an epidural shot. They want to prolong the inevitable of surgery. Ah well...........<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
I looked in the bins with the spring & summer stuff and pretty much left it all packed up. My lifestyle these days has no use for office attire. I had some stuff I thrift ed last year for this season that is workable now. I really am wearing more loose and unstructured stuff that is easy to do PT in.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
Here's some of what I've been sporting these days:<br />

Nothing very exciting here. I bought the slouchy cotton knit sweaters on deep clearance at Kohl's. They were cheaper than thrift prices. I got a lilac nubby, mint nubby and pale blue basket weave one. I have been wearing them almost non-stop with jeans and a scarf lately. The ballet flats in the top picture are from Target. I beat my old black pair to death last year and re-ordered online to replace them. since they were on sale I also got nude ones and cobalt blue. I'm wearing them in the top pix. It's more of a navy blue than a bright cobalt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The middle pix is what I wore to church. It's totally thrifted--top is SagHarbor, skirt Dressbarn and shoes Nine West. The sweater has a bit of lurex in it and itches me like crazy. It's going to Andrea as she loves it. The skirt is a nice light fabric--it was never worn as the pleats were still stitched down. A longer fuller skirt works for me now as I have to sit a bit awkward and unladylike and pencil skirts are too dangerous!!</div>

I'm working with my sweet new Galaxy Note 0.1 tablet!!! I'm not able to upload my camera photos yet as I'm waiting for a back ordered cord!! I'm still learning how to maneuver around the tablet--I love it but I get happy fingers! I got a bluetooth keyboard which will help me with commenting and such.<br />
<br />
Our daughter Julie finished grad school this month and received her MBA from the University of Maryland University College. I think she graduated Magna Cum Laude. She has worked hard these last few years in school and I'm proud that she's such smart and motivated young lady.<br />

I would like to introduce everyone to Baby Peanut!! Baby Peanut is our FIRST GRANDCHILD!!!!! Mimi (me) and Pap-Pap (Lauren) are over the moon, as is everyone else in the family. The first grand and great-grand child will be entering a large circle of love. She will find out May 12th whether is Mister Peanut or Princess Peanut.<br />
<br />
This was a HUGE SURPRISE!!! Sean and Julie invited us out to dinner for my birthday on Februay 23rd and we invited my mom along. Julie handed me a wrapped package and when I opened it there was a picture frame saying "sweet baby" on it and the message in pink & blue: Expected Due Date October 2014. I let out a shriek!!! BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!!!! I was so happy my mom could be there to hear about the news of her first great-grandchild.<br />
<br />
I plan on being the coolest and hippest grandmother around! Once we know if it's a boy or girl I can gear up making stuff for the nursery. I'm already working on an afghan!<br />

It's hard to believe that these little girls are both expecting babies today. Jackie is expecting baby #3 in August. It seems like yesterday they were plying with baby dolls!!<br />

I hope to have the camera stuff figured out so I can share some outfits later this week!!<br />

I'm here in the Craft Palace with the window open enjoying the wonderful Spring breezes. Before we get ANOTHER FREAKING SNOWSTORM tomorrow night. EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!<br />
<br />
I had it all planned to post on Wednesday but our modem/router had other plans. We had been having trouble keeping a stable internet connection for a couple of weeks and it just pfftted out on Tuesday. After many phone calls and much hair-pulling it was determined that the router/modem was bad. Hubster connected the new system up last nite so we are now good to go.<br />
<br />
In time for me to take another min-blogging break after just returning!! But this is for a good reason-we decided to use some of the tax return to replace my laptop and Kindle with a super sweet Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet!! Since my back injury I have limited time I can sit at the desk using the laptop. The Kindle can surf the web (from the recliner or bed) but can't really do much else. The new tablet will allow me to do all kinda cool stuff!!! It's supposed to arrive early next week. My laptop and Kindle will be finding a new home with friends. This is my last posting from the laptop but I'll be back next Sunday for Visible Monday with some SUPER EXCITING NEWS!!!<br />
<br />
Since the injury my style choices have had to adapt to the new reality of not being in an office environment. I basically am homebound except for PT, doctor's appointments and church with an occasional meal outting with the hubster. I've had to get some athletic pants and casual t's to wear-especially for PT. A pencil skirt and blouse just doesn't work-LOL!!! I've had to re-evaluate my Spring/Summer wardrobe in light of this. I'm just going to leave stuff that won't work packed up. <br />
<br />
I'm not really able to do much thrifting (and boy how I MISS it) so I've been ordering some stuff online to fill in the gaps. Thankfully I had thrifted some stuff at the end of the season last Fall for this year!<br />
<br />
Here's my oh-so-inspiring outfits for a week full of PT and Doctor Appointments!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since I needed casual pants to wear with flats I ordered a pair of "skinny" jeans from Walmart to try out. They are Faded Glory brand and I was very surprised on how well they fit. The shoes are my thrifted LizClaiborne pink loafer. The sweater is Sonoma from Kohls/gift. I got the scarf at ACMoore Craft store. They have a nice selection and they regularly go on sale for 2/$5. i loved the colors and the springy dogwood print. I've been wearing a lot of scarves like this lately. As you can see i got photo-bombed by cuteness!!<br />

I'm wearing a pair of jeans that I made into boyfriend skinnies. I had been wearing them tucked into taller boots all winter. The boots are my trusty thrifted Nine West ankle booties. The cardigan is Fashionbug/thrifted. The tshirt had no label but was thrifted last year. I have no idea why the picture quality is so blotchy but I will attribute it to my stellar photo editing skillz!!<br />

This is my "land" PT (in the rehab gym) uniform. Y'all ain't seeing the pool PT ensemble!! I'm wearing a thrifted green cardigan with grey Walmart athletic pants and a Walmart long sleeve glitter print tshirt I got for $5. Girl's gotta have some bling!! The shoes are some black slip-on sneakers I've had.<br />

Oh look it's the pants again!! Actually this picture and the one above were taken the same day. I went to get a much needed hair-cut (hadn't been able to get one since November) before therapy so they could work out any pain issues sitting in the salon caused. Hubby was taking me for our weekly "get Tamera out in the human race" meal excursion. It's good to be out but it involves some pain meds before and a heating pad afterwards and laying down!! I thifted the top last fall. It's a cotton knit and probably originally from the late 80's/early 90's. The style and color are right on trend now--proves what goes around comes around again!! The scarf is from ACMoore.<br />

Here's a close-up of the shirt--it's a textured kind of print. I had several compliments on it while out--even a teenage girl commented how cute it was.<br />
<br />
And now for gratuitous cute doggy pix. They have been my constant companions the last few months- one on each side as we sit in the recliner!!<br />

Hiya Blogland!!! I've finally returned to the land of the living or something such. I just fell down a rabbit hole in the last few weeks. Between the never-ending cold and snow, my back issues, a nasty flare-up of the Fibromyalgia, and the crapfest of dealing with the Workman's Comp folk I just lost my mojo to blog.<br />
<br />
To be quite honest I have been in a nice blue funk. I finally started some physical therapy last month which helped the Fibromyalgia pain some although did nothing back-wise. I finally got an MRI and it shows that I have a slipped/bulging/herniated disc that is causing the sciatica in my left leg. I see a neurosurgeon this week to discuss my options for treatment.<br />
<br />
Being housebound and somewhat immobile has made me slowly lose my mind I think. I only get out for doctor's appointments, PT and church. To say I have cabin fever is an understatement!! I have been getting lots of wonderful doggie loving. They are glued on my lap!<br />
<br />
I've been slogging along with the dollhouse. I can only work maybe 1/2 hour at a time so it's been a slow-go. I hope to have the grand reveal around April 1st. <br />
<br />
At the top I placed a picture of our Queen Misty. She was 17 years old on January 8th. She had been failing (kidneys, etc.) for some time and we had to help her over the rainbow bridge last month. She was undisputedly the QUEEN in this house. she also had a "thing" for fresh produce from the grocery store.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, getting back into the swing of things!!! I have a few not-so-exciting outfits to post. I need to take a picture of my PT outfit as it's the one I'm in the most!<br />

Hiya Blogland!!! I am still among the living! I'm going to be taking a brief blogging break until March 1st. I'm just slogging through the winter blues and have nothing to say. <br />
<br />
I've been having some computer problems with the craptop and it's nigh impossible to post, or for that matter comment , from my Kindle. I'm jacking the hubby's laptop for a bit tonite while he's not using it.<br />
<br />
We had about 28-30 inches of snow last week. Like it snowed EVERY OTHER FREAKING DAY!!!!<br />
I am so over winter. All of this snow has poor MrBill completely confused.<br />
<br />
I'm hanging in here. I had an MRI yesterday and started PT today (FINALLY) I go to PT three times a week-two days in the therapy pool and one in the rehab gym. I am completely wiped out from the pool session today. <br />

<br />
Today I'll be sharing Valentine's cards featuring that oh-so-romantic symbols of everlasting love-the Sausage, the Hotdog and butcher's cleavers/meat. I'm not even going to try to fathom the card-artists mind process when designing these cards. Because my mind just doesn't go Valentines=Meat. So let's all enjoy a nice weiner and peruse these tokens of affection!!<br />

Now that I've traumatized you-time for an outfit post!!! My big outing this week (was really housebound due to ice storm) was for the funeral of a dear friend yesterday. The car trip and sitting really did a number on the back even with happy pills. It was a terrible occasion to see many friends we hadn't seen in quite a time since we moved to Western Maryland. We've all decided to get together this summer.<br />
<br />
Anyhow--my outfit consists of a thrifted SagHarbor sweater, thrifted glenplaid skirt and old boots. The necklace is DIY from the craft store. I admit there is nothing exciting going on here but it's not yoga pants and a fleece so I'm styling!!!<br />

The skirt is going to go in the donate pile--it's a bit too big and spins around cockamamie when I wear it. i don't LOVE it so away it goes. I'm now thinking about SPRING and what I need. I am going to need tops. Everything I had last year is WAY too big. Skirts I can take in (my summer skirts are all elastic waist maxi skirts) but the tops are just too big to alter. If I can only get out to the thrifts!!<br />

On the dollhouse front-it's been slow-going. I now need to shingle the roof. After that it's fill in holes, sanding and then it's time to paint. WHEW!!!! This takes a lot of time but it is fun!!<br />
<br />
I've been nominated for a "Shine On" award by the lovely Seeker at Searching the Inner Me. I'll be blogging about it later this week!! Along with some more Valentines!<br />

I hope you enjoy these!! I have no outfits to share as I've been trapped in the house with the weather and such. I'll be back Sunday with some more of these heart-warming tokens of love.<br />

Hiya Blogland!!! How is everyone doing?? We are supposed to get more snow tonite into tomorrow. EEEKKK!!! We still have snow on the ground from last week!! I'm sure y'all know tonite is the Super Bowl. I really don't care who wins--I'll watch the halftime show (Bruno Mars-LOVE) but am totally uninterested in the rest. We are having a bunch of friends over. The guys will watch it whilst Andrea and I ( the only ladies) hang out in the Craft Palace and make a creative mess. I'm sure there will be glitter involved!!<br />
<br />
I'm glad everyone enjoyed seeing the photo's of the Thirties movie stars. Such glamour and the clothes were so gorgeous. Today I will be sharing old advertisements and photo's of regular ladies from the Thirties!!<br />

I got out of the house once this week so -TAH-DAH- an outfit to share!!! We went to a friends house for Homegroup Friday nite. I had to take a pain pill to manage it but it was nice to be out among the human race. I'm wearing a thrifted Avenue sweater dress, Aerosole boots, and WARM leggings. Gracie is rocking a purple paid sweater and natural chihuahua cuteness!!</div>

Hiya Blogland!!! Today we are going to explore some more of those fabulous Thirties Movie Stars!!! The ladies I'll be sharing today all played parts with a bit of a "tough" or "hard" edge. Girl gone wrong, gun moll, bad girl with the heart of gold were some of the roles these ladies portrayed.<br />
<br />
First up is Jean Harlow. She started out playing "trampy" roles but soon her comedic timing got her roles in many of the screwball comedies of the era. Her life was cut short at the young age of 26. During her hey-day millions of women dyed their hair to match her platinum blonde locks.<br />

Hiya Blogland!! Today we are going to take a trip back to the 1930's. I grew up watching old movies starring Ginger Rogers, Myrna Loy and Claudette Colbert. I have always loved the fashions of the era. They were so elegant, even if I could only see them in black & white. Let's revisit these 30's fashion icons!!<br />

We had a terrible tragedy locally yesterday. Those of you in the US may have seen this on the news. A shooter killed 2 people and himself at a mall in Columbia, Maryland (between Washington DC & Baltimore). I know that mall very well. We used to live 5 minutes away before we moved to Western Maryland in 2006. The Mall at Columbia is one of the first indoor malls in the US. I remember going with a neighbor to see the Christmas displays in the early 70's. I pushed my daughter in her stroller around it 100's of times. Brought her prom dress there, she danced the nutcracker at Christmas for years. It's just scary to think about. We aren't safe anywhere.<br />
<br />
I got out of the house yesterday (YAY) that didn't involve going to the doctor's. We were given gift certificates for Red Lobster and I felt like attempting to go out. It's the first time since the accident. I was totally wiped out and hurting but it was worth it psychologically. We stopped at the grocery store for laundry detergent on the way home. They had primroses on sale 3/$5 so Lauren brought me some. I put their cheery pots on top of the TV where I can see them from the recliner.<br />

I haven't been able to go to church since before Christmas. This morning I decided I wanted to go as I could ride with Lauren (he often has to be there early/stay late for usher stuff) so if I needed to we could leave early. I'm paying for it pain-wise now but my spirit needed it. I'm wearing a thrifted SagHarbor sweater, thrifted LaneBryant skirt, thrifted LifeStride booties and my fantabulous petrified rhinestoned vintage seahorse brooch and earrings. They caused quite a sensation!!<br />

Hiya Blogland!! Wednesday greetings from frigid and snow-covered Western Maryland!! We got about 7-8 inches of snow yesterday and today it's only 6 degrees F out. The skies are a gorgeous blue and with the snow it's absolutely beautiful outside.<br />
<br />
Not that I'm going out in it--too icy and slippery for me. MrBill and Gracie have been taking advantage of their "indoor pee pads" as it's too brutal for them to go out.<br />
<br />
How many of you are watching this season of Downton Abbey???? I LOVE this show!! The stories, the FASHION!!! The dresses are just to die for. The story started in 1912 and is now taking place in 1922-23. It's the start of the Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age.<br />

<i> The end of World War One, the growing economy, the rise of the middle
class, and the urbanization of America were signals that the world was
changing. People wanted to change with the times. . .</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Changing with the times is often first seen in what people wear.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Women wanted the ability to express themselves. The women's
suffrage movement and prohibition marked the political power of united
groups of people.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>With these social changes coming so quickly, the 1920s is seen as <b>"THE decade of change."</b></i><br />
<i>No longer were women willing to trade their mobility for the old stodgy
customs of the Victorian era. Old-fashioned torture devices like the
corset and the crinoline no longer served a purpose for young women who
wanted to dance, go to work, hop into cars, and walk around town.</i><br />

<i>Is there any other item of 1920s fashion that carries as much meaning as the cloche hat?</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>It's said that it was the invention of French milliner Caroline
Reboux who introduced it in or around 1923 on the streets of Paris.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>From there the cloche hat spread like wildfire.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Made of velvet, satin, horsehair, straw or felt, the cloche (means
"bell" in French) hid a woman hair and allowed her to tuck it up into
the hat.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Some variations of the standard cloche were the gigolo hat with it's
wider brim and crease at the top. One side dipped lower than the other,
giving women a "devil may care" nonchalance </i><br />

<i>It is a myth that the dresses of the 1920s were short the entire
decade, it wasn't until around 1925 that the hemlines of ladies dresses
reached anywhere near the knee.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Even so, in <a href="http://www.1920s-fashion-and-music.com/1920s-dress.html">1920 dresses</a>
were a sharp contrast to those of the Victorian Era. The waistline
began dropping in the late 1910s and kept going starting just below the
bustline in 1920, between the breasts and natural waist in 1921, and at
the hips in 1922.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>The hemline was mid-calf at the end of the 1910s and stayed there all
the way until 1922. And surprisingly, the hemline dropped in 1923 and
24. In 1925 it, famously, rose all the way to the knee.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Daytime dresses of the 1920s were shapeless affairs, they didn't hug a
woman's curves, instead they hung loosely, often even the sleeves were
worn loose as well.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Floral prints were the rage in womens <a href="http://www.1920s-fashion-and-music.com/1920s-clothing.html">1920s clothing</a>,
soft pastel colors in "Nile Green" "Sunset Orange" "French Blue" and
"Maze" were the most popular colors of 1920s fashion for women.</i><br />

Last summer's movie remake of The Great Gatsby also peaked interest in 20's fashion. Personally I prefer the 1974 version with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow but I won't deny that this was costumed and staged beautifully.</div>

Hiya Blogland!! Not much going on here.I did get out to the doctor's late last week so I wore something minimally interesting.<br />
<br />
I am sporting a new accessory these days. The doctor ordered a cane for stability walking. There were loads to choose from at the medical equipment place. I chose something subtle and classy.<br />

I figure if I have to have a cane why not get something AWESOME!!! Bonus Gracie cuteness!!<br />
<br />
Here's my picking up my geezer cane outfit. The pants are Gloria Vanderbilt and are actually glen plaid jeans. There's a bit of a blue stripe in it . Everything is thrifted except the deer necklace which was DIY. I'm wearing the marbled silk knit August Silk sweater I recently thrifted.<br />

Miraculously I have only gained 5 lbs being so inactive. I consider this a WIN. Here's a picture of my outerwear last week. I thrifted this Lord & Taylor cashmere car coat last year for $4. They retail fro $400+. It's a bit big this year but I'm still going to wear it. It's warm yet not "heavy".<br />

I've been slogging along with the dollhouse. Since I can only manage maybe 1 hour per day it's been slow-going. I've gotten the two sides clapboarded this week. It's a lot of measuring and making guidelines as preparation. Each piece is individually glued on.

Hiya Blogland!!! Greetings from Boredomland. This being laid up and housebound is really starting to harsh my mellow-LOL. I've only been out to the doctors since mid December and I am going stir-crazy. Although I can't really do anything but veg in the recliner most of the day. I can sit in the office chair for maybe 2 hours and stand for like 15 minute intervals before I have to go back to the recliner or lay on the bed to relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve.<br />
<br />
I was really low today after spending hours on the phone with different entities concerning my treatments and the never-ending merry-go-round the Dept. of Labor is putting me on. STILL no PT as of this date. Now I need an MRI (the muscle spasm knot isn't getting any better) and that's another hassle for authorization. I wound up in tears of frustration and despair for most of the day. <br />
<br />
Shuffled out with the dogs and checked the mail. There was a package for me from the always sparkly Val of<a href="http://latebloomingsparkle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Late Blooming Sparkle</a>. She had sent me the adorable Gypsy Caravan she had made!!!<br />

It brought such a ray of sunshine into my grey crappy day!! It's absolutely ADORABLE in person. So much detail. I need to find out where she got the little teapot and mugs because something like that would be perfect for the dollhouse!!<br />
<br />
Now that I'm feeling a bit more cheerful I'll share what I wore to the doctor's yesterday. I decided to "dress up" (heh) as who knows when I'll be out in public again. The skirt, scarf, & boots are thrifted, the top was brought with a gift card. The purse is a gift from my friend Andrea--I thought the colors went perfectly with the outfit. I would've rather worn my wedge booties but I needed the stability of the flat boots. I got a spiffy new cane that I'll share pix of on Sunday!!<br />

I decided to share a photo of my great-grandmother Annie Lewis Grimes in her wedding dress. She was married December 28, 1910. she made her outfit and hat. The dress was chocolate brown wool trimmed in rust colored velvet ( on the skirt and waistband)with tortoise shell buttons. Her blouse was cream colored lawn with cream crochet lace. The jacket had a shawlet of cream crocheted lace. Her gloves were brown kid. The hat was dark chocolate brown wool with a dark brown veil and cream silk flowers. The ribbon around her neck was rust colored velvet. I was blessed to have her tell me all about it so i could note it on the back of the picture for future.<br />
<br />
I'm also hooking up with our Tartan Rose Bella and <a href="http://www.thecitizenrosebud.com/2014/01/shoeshine-be-present.html" target="_blank">Citizen Rosebud: Shoeshine.</a> I picked these shoes up last month for $5. They are Clarks and appear to have never been worn. I'm anxious for warmer weather (and a better back) to wear them. They were super comfy trying on and walking around my house when I got them.<br />

Hiya Blogland!!! I survived the POLAR VORTEX OF DOOM!!!! I need to get a t-shirt now I guess!!! It got down to -4 degrees F here. not as bad as the poor folks in the Midwest but miserable enough.<br />
<br />
Not that I was going anywhere out in it. I'm still housebound and such. Ugh. Anyway--I have found a benefit of being stuck indoors. I've discovered that MeTv channel is showing reruns of my absolute favorite TV show when I was a teen. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="http://www.emergencyfans.com/images/page6-screenshots/ss-squadengine.jpg" class="decoded" height="300" src="http://www.emergencyfans.com/images/page6-screenshots/ss-squadengine.jpg" width="400" /></div>
Every Saturday night in the early 70's I had a regular babysitting gig with the little boys next door. The tv was tuned at 8pm to NBC for Emergency!('72-'79). Here's a little blurb about it:<br />
<br />
<i>The show focuses on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramedic" title="Paramedic">paramedics</a> John Gage and Roy DeSoto (played by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randolph_Mantooth" title="Randolph Mantooth">Randolph Mantooth</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Tighe" title="Kevin Tighe">Kevin Tighe</a> respectively) of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_County_Fire_Department" title="Los Angeles County Fire Department">Los Angeles County Fire Department</a>'s Squad 51 based out of Station 51 in Carson (Actually LACoFD Station 127), and Rampart General Hospital <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_room" title="Emergency room">emergency room</a>
headed by chief staff physician/surgeon Dr. Kelly Brackett and Head
Nurse Dixie McCall, worked with physician/surgeon Dr. Joe Early and
young intern Dr. Mike Morton (played by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fuller_%28actor%29" title="Robert Fuller (actor)">Robert Fuller</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_London" title="Julie London">Julie London</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Troup" title="Bobby Troup">Bobby Troup</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Pinkard" title="Ron Pinkard">Ron Pinkard</a>)
with whom the paramedics work to save lives. The Squad crew was
stationed with LACoFD Engine Company 51 who often responded with them.
The show, which portrayed dedicated civil servants who handled two or
three varied and unrelated incidents during a typical shift, often
showed real-life medical and firefighting procedures. It was also the
first show to show paramedics who help rescue people injured or in
peril.</i><br />
<i><i>Emergency!</i> was created and produced by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Webb" title="Jack Webb">Jack Webb</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Cinader" title="Robert A. Cinader">Robert A. Cinader</a>, both of whom were also responsible for the police dramas <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12" title="Adam-12">Adam-12</a></i> and <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragnet_%28series%29" title="Dragnet (series)">Dragnet</a></i>.
</i><br />

<i> </i><br />
While my friends were all a-gaga over the likes of Donny Osmond or David Cassidy<i>, </i>my heart belonged to Randolph Mantooth, who played paramedic John Gage. Sigh.... who needed a dippy teenybopper singer when there was this:<br />

Hello Blogland!! Greetings from freezing and icy Western Maryland!!!! All of that lovely sub-zero crap in the middle of the country is heading our way this week.<br />
<br />
I'm still stuck at home and I am s l o w l y losing my mind. I'm about ready to go all Jack Nicholson here from boredom.<br />

Sheila asked if cataloging my wardrobe helped with getting rid of stuff. I can say it definitely helped get rid of a few things that were duplicates like one of the two grey ponte pencil skirts I acquired. The biggest benefit I've found is that I can open a category folder and see everything side by side. I can see what styles I seem to gravitate to and what just sticks out like a sore thumb. Plus I can make up future outfits kind of like my own personal Polyvore. Now on to cataloging my bling!!<br />
<br />
On the dollhouse front it's all in pieces again after the dry fit being sanded. I changed a couple of window placements so I need to get the new holes cut out. I hope to get the shell glued together this week if I can have an hour or two without pain.<br />
<br />
Well I'm reaching my limits of sitting in the chair. Everyone have a fabulous beginning of the week.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
It's the start of another year!! I don't make any resolutions or such stuff for New Year's because, truth be told, I just forget about them by February anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Lauren and I stayed home for NYE. My back issues (UGH) just didn't allow any partying or such. I went to the doctor's yesterday and I'm STILL going to be off work until at least January 16th. This is so frustrating for me. The muscles are all in a knot about the size of a tennis ball and pressing on the sciatic nerve. I can't get comfortable or relief for more than an hour or two at a time. We are just waiting for authorization for physical therapy. The holidays have slowed the process down. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I get periods where the only way I can be a tad more comfortable is to stand. I've been taking advantage of just "standing around" to photograph my wardrobe to catalog it. Yes, I need a life-LOLOL. I've gotten all my clothing, shoes and scarves done. Next up is jewelry. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whilst I was photographing I cam upon some thrifted items I haven't worn or shared. I thought I share them in this post as my fashion choices are limited since I'm stuck at home.</div>

I've decided to paint the exterior pink with charcoal shutters and roof and white trim. I grew up in a pink circa 1961 rancher on Dogwood Drive. I've decided to call the house Dogwood Cottage.</div>

My dear friend Andrea is coming over tomorrow to undecorate the Christmas trees for me. Lauren has been bringing up the storage bins since Saturday so I can fill them as I am able. Being OCD and having everything organized by room has made it reasonably easy to undecorate the hoard. There is a method to my madness at times.<br />

Hiya Blogland!!! It's the last Sunday of 2013!! I hope everyone has had a fabulous holiday season full of joy and happiness.<br />

In dollhouse news I've labeled and punched all the parts out. Next up is sanding. I'm planning on painting the exterior pale pink with slate grey shutters and pale grey roof shingles. Here's what the house will look like finished:<br />

Since I'm not going anywhere these days and no one wants to see the latest reiteration of my fleece and jogging pants I decided to ply my minimal Photoshop skills and make my own cut and paste fashion show. I can do this with ease in real life with scissors and paste but my computer skillz in this area are pitiful. Something to work on in the new year!!<br />

Hiya Blogland!! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas if you celebrate!!! I am hanging in here. STILL waiting to start the physical therapy.<br />
<br />
Christmas Eve was spent with our dear friends Tom and Andrea and my boys. Lauren made some of his famous chili and it was just a quiet enjoyable evening.<br />
<br />
I had fun getting gifts for the boys. It's been a long time since we've had kids opening gifts so I forgot how exciting it it!! You see Miss Gracie was all into the fun!<br />

We had stockings for the cats and dogs. The cats got special Fancy Feast and treats. The dogs got Pupperoni chews, special dog food and Rachel Ray soup Bone treats. MrBill just hung back while Gracie went NUTS over the stocking. she pulled the bags of treats out and ran around with the packages and then ran around with the empty stocking.<br />

It's a bit of a drive to his house from mine so I wore something easy and comfortable.Thrifted tunic, thrifted black pants, old boots and old tree pin/earrings. Truthfully speaking the car ride about killed my back. I wound up pretty much horizontal all day yesterday recuperating.<br />

I gave myself a dollhouse kit for Christmas. I've always wanted to build one and decided 2014 will be the year. I'll be documenting my progress here so y'all can join the fun and/or insanity. I chose a simple Victorian style cottage. I plan to make most of the interior furnishing myself. Because obviously I NEED another obsessive hobby to entertain me!! LOLOLOL I've been spending a lot of my enforced down time researching dollhouse building and miniatures.<br />

I can't express how much I've enjoyed every one's holiday doings you've been sharing on your blogs. It brings a smile to my face as I've been stuck here at home. I'd seriously lose what little mind I have left without y'all!!<br />

Everyone have a fantastic weekend and I'll be back for Visible Monday!!<br />

Hiya Blogland!! Merry Christmas from Western Maryland--where it went from snow covered ground to 70 degrees to 30 degrees in the space of a weekend!!<br />
<br />
I've been hanging in there back-wise. The new medicine makes me sleep alot. HOPEFULLY all of the paperwork will be done and I can start some kind of physical therapy later this week. I'm tired of being a slug in the recliner-altho the doggies are loving all the lap time. I am trying to keep up with every one's blogs even if I'm not commenting!!<br />
<br />
How AWESOME is this?? The fabulous<a href="http://sopastcaring.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Curtise</a> made a festive picture of me!! Bet y'all didn't knolw I was rocking such a hot bikini bod did you?? This brought such a smile to my face!!<br />

I got out of the house late last week to go to the doctor's. YAY--an outfit that didn't involve yoga pants and an over-sized fleece. I still had to dress rather plainly so I could remove stuff for the doctor & xrays.<br />

I was able to get to church this past Sunday for the Christmas program. I'm glad I got the costumes sorted before I injured myself. I'm wearing a thrifted red sweater, thrifted Alfred Dunner plaid skirt, thrifted Nine West ballet flats, vintage Echo candy cane scarf & vintage tree earrings I converted to pierced.<br />

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. I'm going to leave you with the words of my favorite carol:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day<br />Their old familiar carols play,<br />And wild and sweet <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">the words</span> repeat<br />Of peace on earth, good will to men.<br /><br />I thought how, as the day had come,<br />The belfries of all Christendom<br />Had rolled along the unbroken song<br />Of peace on earth, good will to men.<br /><br />And in despair I bowed my head:<br />"There is no peace on earth," I said,<br />"For hate is strong and mocks the song<br />Of peace on earth, good will to men."<br /><br />Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:<br />"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;<br />The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,<br />With peace on earth, good will to men."<br /><br />Till, ringing <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">singing</span>, on its way,<br />The world revolved from night to day,<br />A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,<br />Of peace on earth, good will to men!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
May 2014 bring us all peace and goodwill to men.<br />

Hiya Blogland!!! How is everyone on this lovely hump day?? Seems hard to believe Christmas is a week away!!<br />
<br />
I got some relatively good news today. I went back to the doctor yesterday. I'm still in a lot of pain and the muscles keep spasming. He had a full set of xrays done and thankfully there is no structural damage like a herniated disk or damage to my hip joint. They are arranging for some aggressive physical therapy to help the muscles stop spasming and pinching nerves. If everything goes well I can go back to work January 2nd.<br />
<br />
I am totally BORED. I'm not used to inactivity like this. I've been doing lots of reading (when I'm awake-the meds knock me out) and putzing around the 'net on my Kindle. We have very limited TV channels (no cable stuff) and daytime TV is the last bastion of stupid. Really. I clicked onto the Maury show where he was doing lie detector tests on these losers. One guy had been running around with a set of triplets who found out and started fighting with each other over him. AWESOME. There was nothing appealing about this dude that would attract one female, much less THREE who are fighting over him. Let's pray they don't breed!!!! Quality TV to turn your mind to mush.<br />
<br />
Fashion-wise just imagine what I wore Sunday with a different color pullover and you've got my fashion stylings this week. Just imagine me covered in dog hair. They have been enjoying all of the mommy time!<br />
<br />
Here's some more of the Christmas decorations. I'm starting to dread taking this all down-LOL!! This is a look at the different wreaths we have hanging around the house.<br />

Hiya Blogland!! Greetings from snowy Western Maryland!!! We are living in a winter wonderland. MrBill is hating life right now-all of this snow confuses him. Gracie LOVES it!!<br />
<br />
I've been hanging in there in regards to my slip last week and my back/hip. I've got another doctor's appointment Tuesday morning. I've been spending loads of quality time in the recliner with my Kindle. I've been reading every one's posts even if I'm not commenting. Commenting from the Kindle is a pain in the butt. I can't sit in the chair too long to use the computer. The happy pills make me sleep alot. Gracie and MrBill have been enjoying lots of Mommy lap time.<br />
<br />
In the spirit of keeping it real I've been rocking a variation of this lovely and flattering outfit all week. Knit pants, fleecy pullover, Tshirt, warm socks and slippers. The pants and pullover are from Goodwill though!!<br />

Lauren and I got new phones as our Christmas gifts to each other. We've had Iphone 3's (HATE)the last few years and it was time to upgrade. Lauren decided on Galaxy Note 2's for us. They are really spiffy and so much easier to use than the Iphone. HOWEVER--it took me a bit to figure out how to answer the phone when someone called. Lauren is a total techno-weenie and loves all the features. I'm spending my time just figuring it out.<br />
<br />
I tried to do a Xmas photoshoot with Gracie and MrBill in their matching sweaters. Gracie is just too curious and busy and wouldn't sit still. I finally got pictures of them napping!!<br />

The Diva LOVED to have her picture taken. The problem with her was her hogging the camera--she'd jump in front of poor Bill. It WAS all about her.<br />
