Working Title

My Weekly Goal...

Summed up in a construction ad....

Bonding With Martha Stewart

Last night, I did something that I have not done in awhile. I went shopping. I love to bargain shop, but I also realize that this can lead to buying a lot of crap that you don't need. If you are a Midwest child of the 80s', bargain shopping has one name.....KMART!

KMart was the place my went when she was looking for cheap, Made-in-the-USA goods.

I wound up at our local Kmart last night over one simple reason...parking. I was not in the mood to fight a large crowd at the other "discount chain".

Once I got inside I quickly found myself in the bedding section. I have been looking off and on for the perfect bedding to match this headboard from 1985. You remember, the decade where red, green and gold were popular! I personally have a strict hatred of all things floral sans flowers themselves. Take a look at the picture below and feel my frustration.

Here is a picture of the detail on the headboard.

Try matching that to anything....

But, alas...Martha Stewart can. And for just twelve dollars more you can get the matching shams.

So I bought the comforter with the matching shams.

When I walked out I found myself saying, "Thank you Lord for the designer at Martha Stewart who put this together. I know you meant it just for me."

And then it struck me.... was I honestly being thankful for Martha Stewart?

Fireworks

I love fireworks! The Fourth of July is my FAVORITE holiday...

I love it for a few simple reasons:

1. No gift giving.

2. It is about celebrating who we are as Americans. (A big yeah for variety!)

3. You get to stay up late for fireworks. 

Subject Matter

I think this is a perfect title for this weblog. One, I have a hard time narrowing it down to just one thing. And, two, life is about a random series of subjects with a working title that's never quite finished.

But, I have a crazy theory that if we write about life and our experiences, then we can learn from each other.

I am not certain what the exact subject matter of this next year will be. I am excited to find out where this path will lead.

Maybe somewhere in the midst of all the babbling and coffee...a complete sentence will emerge. I appreciate your patience.
