Need a handbag for an event??

Okay, I think this really neat and kind of thinking of joining. I was watching some show on TLC last night and they were talking about a website that you can go to and borrow designer handbags and jewelry by the week, month or year. This is basically Netflix for handbags...how cool is that? Here's the low down.

BORROWING:
--There is no time limit—keep your item for six months or keep it for a year! As long as your account is in good standing, borrowing frequency is completely up to you.
--Borrow any item, whether it's Trendsetter, Princess, Diva or Couture Collections. You'll be charged an additional fee either by-the-week or by-the-month for each item you borrow.
--For the first three months of membership, you can borrow up to three items at a time. Only one of those items can be from our Couture Collection. After three months, you can borrow as many as five items!

COLLECTIONS:
Couture—Runway worthy handbags and jewelry from top designers such as Gucci and Rosiblu starting at $175 a month.
Diva—Luxurious, dream bags and jewelry from designers such as Louis Vuitton and Charriol starting at $90 a month.

I think the person who came up with this is genius. So, if you ever need a handbag or jewelry for a big event or you want something nice to just carry around, go visit www.bagborroworsteal.com

A Lovely Visit...

My parents left yesterday from there weekend visit. They arrived Thursday afternoon and left out Monday morning. We had a wonderful time. It was great seeing my parents since I haven't seen them since April...4 months, wow. Brian and I showed them the wonderful sights of Wilmington...U.S.S. NC Battleship, historic downtown, Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach. This was my Dad's first time to see the Atlantic ocean. I had no clue. I have to say that it beats the Gulf. We actually had the opportunity to see dolphins swimming along the coast line...that was really neat. We also played putt-putt and Brian, yet again, won. You just can't beat that boy in anything. We ate a lot of food...I think I gained a little bit of weight. That's okay though. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. It has been too long.

Brian "Leo" and Me "Kate"

Productive Sunday

Today has been a very productive day compared to yesterday. This morning I started on some laundry that has built up all week long. I hate doing laundry...its never ending. I don't so much mind the washing and throwing the clothes into the dryer, but its the folding that I hate. I have a tendency to leaving clothes in the dryer or throw them in the laundry basket and let them sit there for a couple of days. Its just not fun to do. I did better today. As soon as the clothes were done, I folded them and put them in their appropriate place. Then I swept the kitchen and both bathroom floors. I still need to mop, but I'll get to that eventually. I did the dishes, went to the grocery store, baked some brownies and vacuumed and washed the car....woo. Exhausting, huh? Brian has been pretty productive today as well. He cut the grass, weed-eated and now he's finishing the paint job that he started a week or so on the garage. I didn't make lunch today, but went to KFC and bought a bucket of chicken with mac-n-cheese, mashed potatoes and cole slaw. I haven't had KFC in so long. I remember back in the day eating KFC after church. Me, Mom and Dad would go get a bucket with all the fixings and carrying back to my grandmamas house. Daddy would fuss on how much it cost....never failed. He hates spending money on food. I still have things to do. I'm suppose to paint the door in the utility room and I definitely need to give Brody a much needed bath. He's been outside the majority of the day. He tried to catch a rat that was in the backyard, but luckily he failed in getting that thing...nasty. Well, I guess I need to see the progress that Brian has made on the garage.

Long Time No See...

My apologizes for being MIA for a while. I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to sit down and type my thoughts. Nothing much new has happened since my last visit...just working. I've been traveling to towns that have been 2 hours away and by the time I get home, I just want to relax...not think. Not that I'm thinking much while typing. Anyway, work has been going good. I actually had a job interview at a doctors office, and was offered, but decided not to take it. I would like to get a position at the UNCW. Don't get me wrong, I like my current job, but would like to find something that doesn't so much traveling. I drive 250 mile a day! Exhausting? Yes. The pro's of this job is that I'm not stuck inside all day long. I get to get out and about and meet a lot of new people. I like to talk, so this is good for me. So, enough about work.

Brian got us a new car. It hasn't come in yet because the color that Brian wanted wasn't on the lot, but we are suppose to be getting it this Friday. It's a 2007 Honda Civic in galaxy gray.

I'll be driving it for a few months until October - November. That's when I'll get to pick out my own car and Brian will drive the new civic. I'm looking at getting a 2008 Honda Accord. I will be giving my car to my parents. Keep it all in the family.

Brian and I celebrated our one year anniversary a couple of weeks ago, July 22nd. We didn't do anything special. I bought him a watch that cost $150 and he got me a table for the entry way from Bombay.

We had dinner at Bone Fish Grill and it was sooooo good. I had 2 lobster tails with vegetables and Brian had the filet and crabcake. I HIGHLY recommend that restaurant. That was the highlight of our day. I can't believe its been a year. It feels like we've been together forever. I guess that's good though.

Time Warner Cable has a channel called ion and I love watching their night time lineup. 8:00-9:00pm its Mama's Family,

9:00-10:00pm its Who's the Boss and 10:00-11:00pm its the Wonder Years. You cannot beat these programs. There's nothing on the television anyway. I'm glad they are bringing back some classics.

Well, I hope everyone will have a wonderful evening, morning or day. Hopefully I won't be away for long. I'm working in Clinton, NC which is an hour away, so maybe I won't be a stranger. Tootles.
