The Friday Files

 


Hello, dear friends.  I hope that your day started off better than mine.  Our poor little Chili was sick in her crate last night, and it took the Mister and me over an hour to clean up the culprit as well as the damage.  I think I may go back to bed and pretend that this morning never happened.



In the meantime, I ordered a couple of these in case there is a next time. 



And as if I have not had enough fun this morning, rumor has it that North Texas is in for some snow on Sunday.  The meteorologists are practically giddy.  I guess they don't suffer from snow PTSD like me.

Are you a procrastinator?

I tend to be one when I have plenty of time on my hands.

This article explains the psychological origins of procrastination and how we can stop putting things off.

The first thing that I would put off is a snake massage.





Here are 50 of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses in history.






Do you enjoy a good spy story?
How about one that is true life?
After reading this article about this Dallas teacher, I pre-ordered her book.

Lastly, if you think know you have a cute dog, email me a picture with a short bio and I would be honored to include your little furbaby on my blog.




Until next time...

  1. What a fun idea to feature cute pets. I'll have to work on Albie's bio. We are even expected (as a small posibility) to get a winter mix down here. Have a wonderful weekend!

  4. This is a great post! I will definitely be sending in pics of my dog with his bio... We lived in Cincinnati and that house was on the Flying Pig half marathon route. I always wondered about the views and the inside. Thank you for sharing.

  17. I always enjoy home tours, these were just stunning! Great ideas for planning menus and such good recipes. Thanks for keeping the updates on your healthy eating plan for weight loss and keeping it off. Good for you!!!! I am slowly getting there too..........

  18. I too am doing WW! What are your go-to's without much planning?

  19. Love the home tours. Completely embarrassed (humiliated?) to admit I did not know CB remarried?! This highlights how far I've fallen off the ET/People magazine wagon ... but I digress. Congratulations for keeping those pesky 20lb in the rear view (no pun intended) ... I've followed your WW journey. You're a rockstar. Mountbatten is a fascinating character lurking in the background of the RF story. xo

  20. Thanks for posting the House in Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. I recognized the neighborhood. I went to high school with a friend that lived in that neighborhood. We had many good school parties at their place. The home is beautiful as all of the historical homes are in that area. Welcome back to Texas! Good luck in locating the perfect home!
