So my phone currently is on it's last legs and it keeps shutting down on me today so that's no fun. It won't be let upload it to my computer BUT, it is a picture of a gorgeous bracelet I saw at Chapters (bookstore in Canada). Who the heck knew that they sold jewellery there? Here is a picture from the website.

Long sleeve top, skinny jeans, brown riding boots and a scarf. I like it keep things simple.

  2. CONGRATULATIONS on the award!

    I may have to tune into this season's DWTS. It's been awhile since I've watched, but you're right, Bill Nye is hard to resist!

    I love Coke... I'm really quite dependent. I must have one every day or I get a headache!

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  4. I loved reading your answers! And I had no idea that Bill Nye was going to be on Dancing with the Stars - the former science teacher in me may need to watch it now!
