Valentine’s Day!

February 15th, 2010 · No Comments

I had a great Valentine’s weekend! 
I spent a nice night out on Friday for my friend Chrissy’s birthday dinner with a bunch of friends.  It’s pretty hard for me to drag myself out on a Friday night but I’m glad I did since I really enjoyed myself.
Saturday I went to the library & shopped at Walmart & Goodwill, then came [...]

Simply Cupcakes of Naples

January 16th, 2010 · 1 Comment

One word: yum!
A friend of mine just hit her goal weight & she decided we would go to Simply Cupcakes of Naples to celebrate with one cupcake each.  We were very restrained, good girls too!  She had 1/2 of a Chunky Monkey & 1/2 of Key Lime Pie.

I tried the Neapolitan – soon to be the [...]

We attended the 2nd birthday party for our friends’ dear, dear daughter over the last weekend.
It was a fun day despite the cold temperatures here in Florida.  We got to catch up with friends we don’t see often.  Plus there were hot dogs & cake & loads of other goodies!
Plus these things always provide lots [...]

My Adorable Dogs

December 31st, 2009 · No Comments

Just a brag post.  My dogs are the cutest.  The photos don’t really convey their true cuteness though.

Dante – pug/boxer mix
Vi (Violet) – who the heck knows – I see a lot of terrier & greyhound in her but the Humane Society said she is part Mini-Pin.
I love my mutts!

Just an Update

November 8th, 2009 · No Comments

I’ve already quit selling Avon. That may have been my shortest hobby as of yet…
I will miss getting the demo items but at least I won’t be spending any money on it anymore.

The Lastest in MissAmy World

September 30th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I’ve been avoiding blogging like the plague LOL.  I’m trying to live a “real life”, whatever that is.
But, then, with all the extra time I start dreaming up things to do to fill it.  Nature hates a vacuum & so do I!
Mainly & most importantly I need to focus on learning more for my job/work/career.  I [...]

Playing Tourist in Naples

August 25th, 2009 · No Comments

I visited my friend Polly this past Saturday.  She’s the one that taught me how to make homemade tortillas, if you recall.  She lives downtown so we walked around the neighborhood & enjoyed the sites. 
I used to love walking around downtown & going into all the galleries when I first moved here in 1997.  I [...]

My Goodwill Store is Out of Its Freaking Mind

August 18th, 2009 · 8 Comments

I went to my favorite Goodwill store over the weekend to go through the goodies since it’s been a while since I’ve been.
Well, nearly every pair of Nine West shoes were priced at $20. $20!!!  And no, they were not brand new.
They just renovated & it is a nicer place to shop now but I [...]

Constantly Re-evaluating

July 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Just a warning, heads-up, thinking out loud, etc…
The posting will probably slow down a bit around here.  I’m burning myself out with how much time I put into posting & I don’t want to go for full burnout.  Soooo, a compromise: I will post any good DIY’s I do, I will only be posting outfits that [...]
