My Saturn

I love my car.

 I could have easily done the "jumping in the air for joy" commercials they used to do. 

Now you may ask why would I be so crazy about my car. 

Here are my top requirements:

I do want a nice looking car, 

I want it to start. 

I want it to be warm in the winter 

and cool in the summer. 

I don't require all the bells and whistles tho heated seats are A HUGE plus. 

She just keeps chugging along so

I think I'll keep her for another 12 years.

Did I mention there is not one spot of rust on her either! 
Such a pretty girl.

Dear husband washed and detailed her for me today and she is a thing of beauty!

Saturday

It's Saturday. I slept until 8:30....can you believe it! It was pure heaven. I heard dear husband leave at 4:30 this morning to go to work...he really doesn't like working on Saturday and I sure don't blame him one little bit. It's 50 degrees, sunny & blue skies.

No one wants to work on such a glorious day I'm sure.

So here I sit with my feet up, my coffee and reading, actually rereading, "Somewhere Safe with Someone Good" by Jan Karon. 

I just love Fr. Tim and Cynthia and of course their pets Barnabas and Violet.

It's quiet, the coffee is delicious and the book is my escape for a little while. 

What a luxury instead of the 4:45 alarm I get up to for work.

It's time to get moving and accomplish what seems like a hundred things to do today tho.

Well.....maybe 1 more chapter and a little more coffee with an English Muffin on the side!

IKEA Love

So what to do on a day when you just need to get out of the house 

and the weather is not cooperating??

Hmmmm

Well of course I go to IKEA

The fact that dear husband likes to go as much as I do...

or almost as much, is quite a perk.

We love to look at everything whether it's something we would buy or not. I marvel at all the creative things they do to make products appealing and user friendly Dear husband is looking at how its constructed and how it works. It's a marketing masterpiece!
They tiny house was amazing! It was 742 sq ft of adorable. What a good use of space. Now don't get me wrong in reality it would take me about 10 seconds to know "tiny house" living isn't for me but I still loved seeing it and walking around in a mini home. It's incredible how they make such good use of space.
Despite my good intentions that I don't need anything and I'm only window shopping I have never walked out empty handed. 

~Kid size spray bottles for water fights in the heat of the summer....49 cents...how do you walk away from that in exchange for some Kodak moments!

~An orchid for Kindle DIL who has the knack for get her orchids to re-bloom

Cork trivets..I'm obsessed with them....I have no logical reason why 

fry pan, doormat, storage container, pillow form etc....

Yup....I didn't need a thing.
