My Date w/ George

It's been forever since I've posted, so I thought I would share a picture from my date with George...okay so my date also included thousands of other people...but in my mind..he was singing to me! It was a great concert. He sang for 1 1/2 hours...WOW! It was the kickoff for his tour. It my first date with George and it was great! And if anyone reading this can't figure out who George is then....well...let's just say I'm ashamed at you!

My new boutique is open...

Okay...it's official. I'm open for business. Check out my new boutique at

http://www.therefinedcubbyhole.com/

Guess what?!

Okay...so...I have some big news. I've actually had them for a few weeks now and some of you already know...but....drumroll....I'm a business owner. I'm the official owner of The Refined Cubbyhole, LLC! Now...right now it's mostly a name ( a fabulous one if I don't say so myself!), but in the next 2-3 weeks it will be a reality. I'm launching an online boutique w/ FABULOUS stuff! It will have high quality & unique items that you can't find just in any store, as well as, handmade items from local people here with some great stuff! There will be tons of stuff for great baby gifts, pet gifts, housewarming gifts & all the holidays. And, of course, you can't forget yourself...plenty of stuff for your home! My website is almost ready and I should be launching in the next 2-3 weeks. Once I'm "live" I plan to email everyone I know....word of mouth is the best advertising! To those of you who inspire & encourage me, thank you.

Auntie Em & Wes

The joy that this little man brings me can not be put into words! I love you Wes!

I'm Thankful for...

Don't get weepy cause this isn't a sappy thankful list!

I'm thankful...

*That I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping!

*That Dexter hasn't been eaten by the coyote roaming the neighborhood. (I'm convinced it's a wolf...but the wildlife people seem to think it's impossible. It's grey & the size of a german shepherd)

*That Roaring Fork is right around the corner in walking distance. (YUMMY place to eat....the best salad known to man)

*That's it's finally gotten cool enough to enjoy a warm caramel apple cider in the morning from Starbucks. (I hate coffee.)

*That someone had the foresight to invent sharpie markers! (I love to write w/ them & all the colors.)

*That I passed by The Bachelor's twin today on 7th street & gave him my best hello! (I know he's married...but still cute & still fun to see him-FYI one of the bars they own is less then 1 blk from my office building)

*That the Amy's Ice Cream lady came up with Phil's IceHouse who has the BEST mini burgers & sweet potato fries! (FYI- I hate her ice cream though...I know, I'm weird. Who wants their ice cream played with for 5 mins until it's way soft?!)

*That I'll never get too old for mac & cheese!

*That my sweet Dexter will give kisses on command. (I've never found a man to do that!)

*And last but not least...that the Brach's nougat candy is finally out for Christmas...my favorite candy ever!

Auntie Em Time

I started a tradition with my sweet Wes this year that I hope to continue throughout the years. It was great Auntie Em time! I took him to Whole Foods
for a Gingerbread Decorating thing. It was lots of fun. Boys definately decorate different then girls do...it took ALL I had not to try to color coordinate & decorate it like I would! But he did a fabulous job!

THE KNIFE DRAWER?!

Here is a conversation between myself and my sweet nephew, Wes.

Me: Wes! I heard you cut your hair today...you aren't supposed to be cutting your own hair.

Wes: HeHe!HeHe!

Me: Where in the world did you get the scissors?

Wes: Auntie Em, I got them out of the knife drawer!

Does anyone see a problem with this response? Apparently he has the ability to go through all the child proof stuff now!
