Umm...Duh.  As you all can read in my profile on the right Vickie's is my absolute favorite store!!  Before hubs started limiting my shopping expenditures, I used be in this store a couple times a week!!  I would always get a little kick when I went to get the mail and there was a glorious new flyer in the mail or coupon for free undies!!  It's like Heaven walking in there and I feel like Rebecca Bloomwood in Shopoholic when the mannequins bekon her in to the store and start talking to her.  That's how I feel when I walk in here!!  And it is always flooded with beautiful, bubbly, sparkly associates (with great hair) at your wimb, aching to assist you in your every need.  

Our town recived an upgrade to our store a couple of years ago, and I almost died waiting for them to re-open.  It was a nightmare.  They temporarily opened this little take out Vickie shop down the way from the site whiel it was under reapir but it wasn't nearly the same.  They did away with our make-up section wit the remodel which made about made me cry, I literally nearly begged them in the store to not do away with it, but we have a store less than an hour away that carries the line. 

But the upgrade is AWESOME!! and they now carry swimsuits and a more lucrative product line.  It's by far my favorite store for many years now.  And any indulgence is a gift for everyone.  But, I must say when hubs brings home a pink box or a little pink bag, my little eyes light up like it's aTiffany's Blue Box (which by the way elicits almost, not quite, the same reaction as Vickie's for me!)

In our little po-dunk town here, we don't have nearly the retail that is readily available in larger, more metropolitan cities, so this is just about as good as it gets here...Really what I would love to see more of here are the little quaint independent ritzy shops that you find in other areas, but sadly, there's not really an audience for them here in our town, no longevity, but that is the kind of shop I would open here if I could. 

 So this, to me, is the best place we have to shop here in town for a kind of one-stop shop.  They have complimentary shipping and wrapping, and no interest on their store cards!  There's always good service as they receive commission on sales!  They tend to carry some brands that you don't find at our other retail stores available here.  And best of all, our Mimi works there, so we always like to visit her (and it's an excuse to window shop), and all the girls love when I bring Nik in, always all dolled up!

11 Months.

Nikolina's birthday is March 29, my little pumpkin is almost a YEAR OLD!!!   I can't believe it!  Time has gone by so fast!  I am excited and nostalgic at the same time.  I am way behind in party planning, I just can't seem to find the time, the energy, or the funds to put this together. 

But, our little angel's 11 Month Anniversary is not existent the month of February because there are only 28 DAYS in the month of February!!  So, I guess today is her 11 Month Anniversary.

I have to ge to work, but I just wanted to wish her a happy 11 Month, and say that I wish that I was with her right now...

Love you pumpkin!!  Miss you. I will write more about what you've been up to later...

Red Hearts.

Fav.

My Favorite Male-

Lee Dewyze.

Absolutely LOVE his voice and his style.  Love his music choices and LOVE that he can play the guitar.  Love how humble he is, LOVE LOVE LOVE that.

My fav Female is DIDI, Lee is my favorite male.  Amazing performance last night, and Simon said, it was the BEST performance of the night, WOO HOO!!  I hope he does well.  He's like my new Chris Daughtry.  Kind of obsessed right now with American Idol, going to be one of those seasons so far...

Wordless Wednesday.

Top Two Tuesday Favorite TV Shows.

Ok, so many of yo ualready know that the hubs and I do not pay for cable.  We've gone back and forth with it, and have ultimately decided at least for about a year now, that we wouldn't pay for it anymore...so we have rabbit ears in the attic, and we get about 5 channels that are on a good all in service.  Sooooo...my choices are somewhat limited, Ha Ha!! But, I definently have to say that this Season I am REALLY into....

1. American Idol

Everyone this Season is SOOOOOO Talented, and so UNIQUE!!  I LOVE EVERYONE!!

I REALLY LOVE DIDI!

But also LOVE this girl-Katelyn!!  Look at that HAIR!!  OMG AMAZING!!

Like her too-Janell!!

Really they are all so amazing and so talented.  I am LOVING IT!!

(I have a thing for Blondes I think-cause I'm trying to get back to my roots-Ha, Ha!)

2. House

I know, I know..He's crass, and rude, and probably is a walking legal medical lawsuit nightmare, but...I still LOVE it!!  It's the one program I have remained faithful to for a number of years which is more than I can say for a lot of things.  I like the original cast and episodes the best, but it never fails to amaze me everytime I watch which I think is why I have remained so loyal and faithful!  Each new episode never disappoints in one way or the other.  Never fails to shock and amaze me what comes out of his mouth, ha!  I love Hugh Laurie, I think he's brillant on the show as "House."  When I was preggars with the Pumpkin, I used to watch House re-runs for two-three hours every night while I laid in bed.

But, since we're cheating...I also really LOVE this show:

and this one

30 Rock

which both come on Thursday Nights (where my faithful "Friends" used to reside).  Woo hoo!

And, wow, this is HARD, seriously cheating here, Ha! 

I also (when I'm home during the day) "Live with Regis and Kelly" and "Oprah."

 When we had cable...I also LOVED "The Girls Next Door" and
"The Housewives of Orange County-OC!!!"
