Sunday's Best

Hey Dolls,


My Thanksgiving holiday time off is coming to an end and I have to say I enjoyed every bit of it!  Here is what I was wearing at church on Sunday.

Do you ever find your self complaining about certain things in your life?  Maybe your job, your car, or maybe even your children.  I know I've been guilty of it but have you ever stopped to think that these things we complain about are blessings?  There are many people without cars, wishing they could find a job, and want but can't have children of their own.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that we should be grateful for the things that we have as well as our situation because someone out there is much worse off.

I have 14 more days of work until I'm off until after the new year!  I'm sure many of you would agree that teachers are sorely underpaid for what we do but I can't think of any other profession that gives you every weekend, holiday, and summer off with pay!!!  Thank you Lord!  I will try my hardest NOT to complain!

Have a great week dolls!

"Black Friday" and Mama's

Hey Dolls,

Did you all do a little After Thanksgiving Sale Shopping???  I did a little as I do every year!  This year, we didn't wake up at the crack of dawn because the only stores I really wanted to go to were having their sales until noon and one.  Here was my "Black Friday" shopping outfit.

The weather was perfect today in Louisiana!  Not too hot and not too cold!

I did a little shopping but nothing too crucial until after the holidays is what I promised myself!  So far, I've done pretty good.

Every time I come to Louisiana to visit my grandma and relatives, I always make it a point to visit Mama's Fried Chicken! 
The prices are more than reasonable and the food tastes just like "mama made it"!  LOL!

I ordered a good ole' 2piece with dirty rice....Can you say YUM???  As much as I love Popeyes, I have to admit that Mama's got them beat!

My brother ordered the fried catfish basket and seasoned fries (that I kept sneaking off of his plate when he wasn't looking LOL!)

 

Mama's is great so if you're ever in Opelousas, LA  and wants some good southern fried chicken, check them out!  You won't be disappointed! 

I enjoyed "Black Friday" with my family!  However, we watched  the news and saw that others in different parts of the country can't say the same.  I don't know why people go crazy over material items that will probably be marked down for the rest of the year. 

I hope all of you had a wondeful day!  I'll be heading back to Florida tomorrow :(  The holidays come and go so quickly but my fav time with family is yet to come!!!!  Talk to you all soon!

Quick OOTN!!!

Hi Ladies and Gents!


This is going to be a really quick post showing you an OOTN from the other weekend.

Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons because the weather is just right. By the time winter comes around I'm ready to whip out the jackets and boots for a couple of weeks.  After that I'm over the cold.  However, the weather has been very strange in FL. lately.  Cold one day, 90 degrees the next....O_o

Anywho, this particular evening was a bit chilly so I was able to whip out the leather jacket and boots!!!

Here is the look witout the jacket.  Pretty simple!

That's all folks!  Talk to ya all very soon! 

P.S.  I have a give-a-way coming up soon so stay tuned!!!
