Think Pink

ELOISE!!!!

The Azaleas are in Bloom!!!

Ooooohhh...Aaaahhhhh....

You know, I always say that I don't like Pink but when I decided to buy myself a New Dress for my Birthday I chose a Pink Dress!

dress ~ Garnet Hill
faux leather belt ~ from some long forgotten shop
 vintage sensible shoes ~ Hush Puppies

What??? Is it an Older Lady Thing??

I don't own any other pink clothing. Just this.

Hmmmm....what else do I have that's Pink???

Oh Yeah. My Fitness Ball.

What's that you say Ball? You want to Play???

OK. I still not bouncing around at 100% but I can do This.

And This.

Have you ever seen this film?

Oh You Really MUST. It's So Good!!!!

Watch HERE for a fun clip from the movie.

a bit o' trivia: the woman singing Think Pink in this clip is Kay Thompson who wrote the Eloise series.

I Love Love Love Eloise, Don't You?

I am moving in a few weeks. To a different house in a different town. I just like to make my life as complicated and difficult as possible. The whole family is THRILLED about the move. We've been wanting to leave this neighborhood for a long time. The timing, however, is a little off. We have moved many many times. And I am always the head packer and organizer and runner arounder but this time I'm a bit immobile. So I shall have to literally be the "bitch on wheels" ordering everybody around. My advance apologies to the moving crew.
This has been an okay house as far as houses go. Though I will NOT miss the funky carpet or the rusty fridge or the leaky faucets or water stained walls or the gun loving neighbor. Our new house is far superior. I can't wait. Still there will be a few things I will miss about this place. I always feel that way whenever I move. Don't you? Here's a little montage of some of the things about this old house that I liked:







The Bougainvillea by the front gate is so pretty. I hope I can get some going at the new place.

I Love this View of the Moon. Et Oui, the Eiffel Tower is coming with us.

These Azaleas LOVE the front porch. I hope I can find a good place for them in the new home.

The Sun comes in at the Wackiest angles. It makes me a little Crazy..in a Good Way.

This Chandelier was so boring. I had to dress it up with Junk Jewelry. The Jewelry is coming along with us only now I will be the one wearing it.

This is THE BEST Nap Spot. I ought to know!!

A Rustic View from my Bedroom Window.

 We're selling the piano. Boo Hoo. The kids aren't interested in it any more and my husband says I play like a church lady which I kind of don't think is a compliment. It is time for it to find a new loving home. If you live in San Diego and you want to buy my piano send me an email.

It was fun to have this mermaid themed bathroom. Haven't decided if it will be recreated in the new place....

And finally, I will have to find a new windowsill for Johnny Depp, my blackbird, because our new address is Blackbird Circle. How perfectly Addams Family.

I will probably be absent for some time while I try to pull this move together but I will be regularly updating my tumblr. which you can access by clicking the my humble tumblr. link up on the right hand side of my blog.

Wishing you All a Happy Spring!!!
