Chit~Chat about your day, your family, your kids, the weather, shopping, just stopping by to say Hi, or anything of personal value to you (of course within reason, LOL).

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers and Chit Chatters

Hello, and Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe with LilacsNDreams!:) Glad to see you here, and happy you could stop by. Whew! Isn't that the truth! I would like mornings better if they would start later myself too. It has gotten cooler here over the weekend, 1 morning I turned the heat on for just a few hours to get the cool out of the house, and you know. When it gets like this out with the leaves following, cooler weather, football games, and all of that.....when it comes morning I would just like to stay in bed, and curl with my blanket. Or, sit in the chair with that good old hot cup in my hand, blanket thrown over my feet, and kicked up reclining. 

Not a whole lot going on this way right now. Just working on getting cars winterized....mechanics like me now:) And, getting the house prepared for it too. Days are shortening a bit, and seem to tire a bit more lately too. Gotta love it, right? Hope all are well with where you are. Thanks again for stopping by, and don't be afraid to share, leave a comment, or drop me a line if you feel like it. LOVE hearing from everyone!:) Have a super week everyone.

Welcome Back to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Good Morning, and Welcome back to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe everyone! Glad to see you here, and happy that you could stop by. 

I don't know about ya'll, but this picture above sure hit the spot for me the past few days, actually for the month! I am always slow to get started in the morning, and then by the time I do really get moving, and motivated....most of the day seems to have disappeared! Ever have that happen yourself? How frustrating sometimes, isn't it? 

Well, I am finally back to having a little bit of Me time now. This past 1-2 months has been soooo hectic! Daughter moves to TX, I helped her husband out a bit while he finished things here before she came back to get him....they both have jobs down there too (whew). Then, son signing up, and joining the army....some of the paper work, and records they need is amazing for this too. In between the contractor has been here to measure the windows, and then the landlord came with the second visit when they looked at the windows on the house here. Contractor back again to measure for the porch that they want to put on this house. Sister had a birthday to celebrate which I seem to babysit her and her husband, and played taxi service for everyone. Hubby had a birthday just last week which he was able to be home for so that we could go out for supper, and enjoy a beautiful day:)

Then.....hubby got me a new car for our anniversary. Nice, shiny black, only had 11 miles on it when I left the lot, and 3 weeks later a deer hit me on the side of it. Tore out the mirror after his head slammed it into the window, his body flew against the side of the car and dented in the back passenger door and handle, he dented the back panel slightly, and then his foot hit the wheel. He flew around the back of the car, went down in the ditch, and headed into the field. I have been wondering....would our insurance consider this a hit and run you think?:) I will be asking them this next week....LOL:) I am not joking, but this is the 1st time in all my years of driving I have ever been hit with a deer. Usually it is hubby that has a problem, our daughter, or someone else....not me. So, my first time, and with our new car. I had a rental for a couple of weeks, but was soooo happy to get the new car back, and try to get use to it again.

Having a cup of joe has been helpful, a cappacino has been great when I get that, and it sure has been tempting with other drinks too....after the way things have been lately.

But, I am back, trying really really hard to get things all caught up again, and into a schedule of things again. Been doing a little thrifting, painting, gluing, repurposing, and different things like that when I have found the time. 

Again, thanks everyone for visiting, and stopping in to see me. Make sure to check out my Thrift Store Junkies page to get caught up with some of the things I have found while thrifting, and then see my Second Time Treasures page that shows a few of those thrifting items that have been repurposed, painted, and etc. What fun!:) Take care everyone, and see you again soon.
