New People

Filed under: Gratitude,Home,World — gardener @ 9:17 am

I love meeting new people.  I have always been one who loves to surround themselves with people (although I do enjoy quiet time as well), so when I meet someone new, it excites me.

This morning at Bible Study I met a girl from France.  I wasn’t sure where she was from at first, simply because her English was great, even though I could hear she had an accent.  I never would have pegged it as French.  She was very nice and upon talking to her a little more, she told me that her husband was American and that he is from Mississippi.   That alone had me almost screeching with joy- but then she told me he was from Jackson (4 hours from the coast- the place that I call home) and his name is Matt- (which happens to be the same as my brothers).    Needless to say, it was a great start to my day and I’m hoping that in time the two of us can possibly become friends.   She’s from Paris, and has offered to give me tips on places to visit next time I go.    It would be amazing to have an insiders suggestions.

So tell me something good that has happened to you today?

Guilty Pleasures

Filed under: Shop til ya Drop — gardener @ 8:24 am

I recently ordered another (yes another) new handbag from one of my favorite sites and I can’t wait to start using it. I’ve been wanting a bright yellow bag all summer and the one I had my eye on went on sale for a price I couldn’t resist. In fact, there was sale on top of a sale and I caved. Between handbags and shoes womens, I could shop all day. I am better about ordering shoes online though since I know some brands fit differently than others. I’d say those two are my guilty pleasures. What’s yours?
