friendships….

August 27, 2009

Good morning Thursday……it’s going to be another great day. I know you are all clamoring {is that a word?if so..i think it’s a midwestern thing }… for the children’s back to school pics…….and don’t worry…..because there are plenty of them.

I just wanted to be selfish for a bit and tell you all about my first day of ‘back to school’……..

i mean….this blog isn’t called “the Buick family ” blog……so i have all right to talk about my day right?!

good.

then let’s proceed.

I did sneak in just one photo for you…… I wanted to take some time out and tell you about a special group of girls…….

that get together one day every year.

I actually voted that this group get together every month…..so i’ll let you know how that goes….

but when this group of girls gets together…..

we all put on our lovely orange ribbons….

super fancy…i know……and if you want one….just convo me…..i’ll see what i can do for you.

Anyways….this group of girls…..

well…..

we’re not really girls anymore….we are ladies….we are mom’s…

dangit….we are girls.

… some of us show up at this meeting with bags under our eye’s….

some still with some toddlers in tow…..

i’m not going to mention any names….but some show up with toilet paper clinging to their shoe…..

and some show up an hour early…..waiting at the front door…..

..for the annual……

“Mimosa’s for mom’s ” ……


This group doesn’t just rely on mimosa’s…….there are plenty of fresh baked chocolate croissants from Trader Joe’s…{have i told you how fabulous these are….and so not fattening….i promise…..}

this society wears their orange ribbon with pride……

and we do a lot for our community…..

well…..some of us do a lot for our community….

actually…..i can only think of one…and that’s me……

and i’ll let you know what i do……soon….

This group of “mimosa’s for moms”….

we are about 18 in number….
and let me know if you want an application……we are a pretty lenient group….
but sorry….we are not taking “dad’s” at the moment…..
well……
actually…we need one “dad”……
to help with the clean up crew.

and we believe in a healthy….beautiful …….love filled ….life.. for all.

sweet mary….

August 25, 2009

Hello my name is kasey and i have a problem…….

my problem is my shop.

I know…..how can i have a shop and consider it a problem….right?!

My problem….at hand……is that i love everything i buy for my shop……but i obviously can’t keep everything…..

because like i said before……

i already have OCD .


There are many levels of obsessive collecting disorder….and mine seems to be at the very height of the scale….so much so that my doctor took away my credit card.

I demanded an explanation….but the only thing the doctor stated….was that i need to use my shop as a source of therapy.

Of course…..the problem there….is what do i keep and what do i sell?

I know for a fact that i am keeping ‘Sweet Mary’. I have been on the lookout for a vintage Virgin Mary for the entire summer…..and i found her this last weekend.

Sorry girls….she’s mine.

This locker basket full of vintage grain sacks is another collection…..so i weed thru……seperate…..keep……pile……move to shop…….reconsider…….takeback…..keep.

Shopkeeping is hard work……

at least for a girl like me…….

maybe i should have a shop that just sells weed killer.

But then no one uses weed killer anymore because of the greenhouse effect……and i wouldn’t have any money to support my OCD habit.
Or i could run a childcare……
yeah…exactly……then for sure CPS would be knocking on my door…..
so…..here we are…..

On a separate note……my online shop will re-open this Friday.

None of these things will be in the shop when it re-opens….well….maybe a thing or two…

but girls…..it will be just back to the basics……..because i have another open house on October 3rd…that i need to gear up for.

Oh….the trials and tribulations….

what i want to know…is do i keep that table or not……

i mean ….how often do you come across the perfect iron legged table with the perfect grey/cream top??

Reflections

August 24, 2009

I don’t have very many pictures of my mom with lola.

I know for a fact…i don’t have any with my mom…lola…and myself….all together.

the girls.

This picture was taken when i was in New Mexico last month…and of all things… i was actually getting a shot on the other side of the car …..of an old church.

The funny thing is.. one of my very good friends took almost the same picture of her daughter the same week…..a reflection in the car window.

As i was going thru photo’s yesterday…i came across this and fell in love with it once i cropped it.

Lola is looking at me……and my mom is smiling at lola….and i just happened to get the three of us girls in one shot….

with not one of us realizing what we were doing…….

{but i have a feeling lola was sure she was in the shot…….as a matter of fact….now that i’m really looking…i am pretty sure she is well aware she is in the shot}.
the girls.

As i wind down my last two days at home with the kids…..i promise not to get all emotional on you….because i will be the strong one when these children get on the bus Wednesday morning.

no….no tears from me……..

well ….maybe just a few tears…….

tears of joy.

Deep Breath.
anyways….remember last week how i mentioned meeting a blog friend…..you can read her post here. Wendy sure was a sweetheart….and her kids {if she would let me show you their picture} were adorable.

….one more little thing…i’m having problems {still} with my email address…so if you need to contact me…just email me at [email protected]
I hope everyone had a great weekend…i,myself…got in a little shopping at the flea market and dragged my hubby to Julie and Julia last night…
