It's Time

By -

I splurged a little bit. I don't generally wear a watch. I can almost always intuitively know what the time is......I'm very good at this. When I saw this cute nurse scrub colored watch in my Avon catalog I decided it was time....to get that watch. It has a nice big face and second hand for counting baby breaths and heartbeats without my having to squint across the room at work.

Karen my knitting teacher/life coach and friend sells Avon now. I am falling in love with that little catalogue all over again. Dr. Oz had a dermatologist on his show who actually recommends Avon's Anew wrinkle peel as an inexpensive and effective alternative to high end cosmetic peels. I think I need to try that too.

I love a sample of eye make up remover that Karen threw in with my first order. It is so creamy.

I am using their lip stick and foundation too. The Easter bunny is bringing some Avon goodies to the family....Avon is so darn affordable.

If you want to support Karen: Go to Youravon.com/Karenr and place an order. Orders over 30 dollars ship free. DING DONG ......
I think her ring tone should be DING DONG.


It is time to start using my felted clutch. I made it over a year ago. Due to some imperfections I did not give it away. It was a huge hit as I lugged my shawl knitting to and from the hospital yesterday. It got many nice compliments.

It is time to think about what I will look for at the 3 Bags Full 10 year anniversary sale on 4/11.

It is time to start taking Radar's blood pressure..this ought to be fun.

It is time to start rooting for the lovable loser Cubbies again soon...

It is always time to leave you a comment or read one from you!

Do tell... how does one take a cat's BP?!

I used to use an Avon lip gloss, but it is too ... doesn't suit me anymore. It's all of theirs I've ever used in the make-up line. Love that watch.

I'll pull for the Braves one last year... as long as Chipper's there. When he retires, so does my era as a Braves fan.

I used to use Avon lipstick years ago but it dried my lips out something terrible. I'm a MAC girl now.

I can't believe you don't wear a watch. You're the first nurse I ever heard of not wearing one. I worked at a hospital many many years ago and everyone wore a watch.

that's a beautiful watch! And it will make counting baby breaths so much easier. I haven't looked at avon in years, might be time again. g

I, too, am curious how to take a cat's BP. Please share.

Avon "ladies" aren't too common around here anymore, but MaryKay saleswomen are everywhere!

I just bought a watch myself. Nothing as bling-y as yours, but I was tired of having to dig my cell phone out when I wondered what the time was.

I'm not too much into the cosmetics, lotions, or perfumes, but they have really nice gift items.

So how DO you take a cat's blood pressure? That can't be easy OR fun... even on a very docile cat, which none of my 4 are.

I sold avon many many years ago--twice in fact and have always loved their cosmetic skincare and hygiene lines and of course their fragrances (I wish I could still get their honeysuckle) but when they got so commercialized with all of the extras I lost interest. Maybe it is time to reinvestigate, I really need to makeup for the wedding!

I love the watch! I love Avon! I have to keep my hands off the little catalog because I want to order everything in it. I will check Karen's online site.

Your knitted clutch is beautiful!

Go Cubs!!

I think the world will end the day the Cubs clinch a World Series. We wouldn't want that! Right! Go Cubs! Helen (I remember my grandfather watching them on WGN)

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
