'Virtual' Friday Date Night - Hmmmm...What Should I Wear?!

 (Vintage 1950s Photo of Couple Going Out for a Night on the Town from TwoDiggingDivas) 

     I loved seeing this old photo of a happy couple heading off on their own 'date night'! :-) It reminded me that hubby and I didn't corner the market on 'date nights'! ^_^ And it reminded me that the week is over!! Phew! I thought this week would never end!! O_O

     It's been a rough one...rain...a friend's death...finances low...allergies kicked up and out of control...and the weepy realization that the 'Parks' sausage company is no longer in business!! O_O No more delicious rope sausage!...and I could've used that comfort food this week too!! Boooo..hissssss!!

      Oh Well...my motto is...that is, if I have a motto! ^_^ ... that when you can't 'eat' comfort, you should 'wear' comfort! :-] So here's my choices of comfort for my 'virtual date night' tonight...

       And if we end up going somewhere fancy...because I'm not quite sure what hubby's plans are tonight...I'll wear a comfortable green dress...

     ...and pin one of my handmade flowers on it...

      ...or a handmade flower from VeraJayne!...for my hair...around my ponytail! :-) ...

        Flowers are always the perfect accessory, aren't they?! :-) ...

     ...Especially if you have a pretty purse clutch (above) to pin them to! :-)

       Yes, I could've spent this time telling you about how many tears I shed yesterday, or how much sadder the day was with rain shutting down the tennis in France, but no! I thought that focusing on the positive...'virtual date night' with hubby...and the fact that tennis is on right now!...was a better choice. :-] ...By the way, Nadal is in a battle with a player I never saw play before! O_O 'Baby Boy' (Rafael Nadal) better not lose!...or else tomorrow's post is gonna be another 'Poetesswug-is-in-a-bad-mood' post!! LOL

       No worries! With so many people playing well...Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic...I'm sure I'll find a smile for you! :-) ... Right now I have to find a smile for some breakfast! :-) Later on I'll try to find a smile for my hubby too! :-) ...

       Have a good weekend, Everybody! :-)

Yes, I am distracted

Yes, I'm gonna be a bit distracted.
Yes, I'm gonna seem a bit aloof.
Yes, I probably will annoy you,
sorta like rain through a leaky roof.

Yes, I'm gonna need your forgiveness.
Yes, your patience would be sublime.
Yes, I know it's asking a lot,
but, people, it's French Open Tennis time!!

My Annual French Distraction Has Begun!

(Art Print by rawartletterpress)

      "I'm sorry"...."Please forgive me"..."I know I should've been more attentive"...So begins my two weeks of apologizing! LOL...It's 2012, and it's the annual  French Open Tennis Time!!! :-)

      And thanks to my sleeping issues all this week, I almost missed the beginning of the tournament too!...which started at 5 a.m. this morning, our time. O_O In fact, I owe Lisa, of grimmandgrete, for getting me to think about it...On Twitter last night she asked me when the French Open was gonna start. I told her NEXT SATURDAY!!...*shaking my head*

        My husband said: "I thought it was this weekend."....I looked at the schedule around 4 a.m. this morning....Yes, I was up! O_0 ...and YIKES!!! It was due to come on in less than an hour....and I almost missed it!!

      Melony Oudin has already won her first match this morning, and Del Potro is at work trying to get a win under his belt too!...I'm watching!! :-)

      I have a meeting this morning, so I won't be in full "Watch" mode until later. Gotta keep the most important things in their place!...But rest assured, me and my annual French distraction will meet again later. :-) ...What about you?!...Are you a tennis watcher?!

     Don't worry though. I'm distracted these two weeks every year, but I still find time to show off things I like on Etsy, like this...

       ...and this...

       And I still find time to display all of my crocheted goodies too. Like these that I just did yesterday...

       ...a new tie dyed button necklace for the summer...

     ...and a new ring!...

        This is my first tie dyed ring.

       I'm gonna try to list these two new pieces right away. The bag with all of my new crocheted....but yet unlisted....items is getting too large. O_O I really need to put those things online...at least until I get them into that imaginary craft show I'm making them all for! ^_^

      Don't expect me to be too diligent about the listing over the next two weeks though...."I'm sorry"...in advance....Spiritual things, wifely things, tennis, crocheting, and THEN listing of the crocheted things.  That's gonna be the priority arrangement. ^_^ Oh Yeah...and blogging about it all! That'll be a little bit up the list too. You know I HAVE to talk!...even about the tennis! LOL

        Have a good rest of the weekend, Everybody! :-)
