Horiscopes are usually full of crap BUT....

I read my horoscope sometimes just to amuse myself. But there are some days when it is dead on!

Today happens to be one of those days. Check it out:


"You'll be able to take excellent initiatives and find original solutions to certain complicated pecuniary problems. Beware of jealousy, which is the surest way to kill love. Some problems may arise because of the antagonism between you on one part and your parents, your children or your spouse on the other part. You'll enjoy numerous amusements but will not get lost in a whirl of futile and superficial pleasures."


The first is the jealousy thing. I just spoke to my mom about a friend of mine not seeming to excited about my relationship. It's almost as if she wants it to fail..or is upset because she doesn't have anyone...and I'm extremely happy. I was told to pull back from mentioning him to her or talking to much about it because I am destined to say something if she keeps showing how "green" she is.

I'm also going through something with my dad. He is in denial that I'm damn near 30 and wants to treat me like I'm 16. He also tries to tailor his advice to fit all of his children. Only, we are very, VERY different.

Anyway, I'm preparing myself for an in-depth conversation with him to basically tell him to chill out!

Maybe I should read my horoscope on a regular basis. .... maybe not.

And just in case you're wondering, mark your calendar, my birthday is JANUARY 4 ♥Elise

On the set w/Gossip Girl

This is the PERFECT single girl's living space. It defines my decor style to te core: modern-traditional.

From the throws, to the artwork, to the intricate detail of the chair....There is so much detail in this space, I could scream! Luv it!

Trend Alert: Tights and Open Toes

So..... Everyone knows how I hate trends! I think they are a waste of money and time...and one day you will look back and think, "why in the heck was I wearing that?"

But this trend is one that is easy to follow and will not break the bank. Only, I don't know if I am ready to give it a shot: Open toes and tights.... Hmmmm

The very first pic in this post looks "do-able" but I will save the one above for some high school girl who's ready to make a statement.

You know I love nothing more than a crisp, clean room. Check out this one. There's not any "matchy-matchy furniture or overwhelming rugs or pillows. I also love the wallpaper and how well it blends with the rest of the room. But I must admit that I hate the side lamps...looks like they are from an outdated motel.

The one on the dresser is really pretty though..

Can you believe it's December 1st!?!!! I woke up this morning thinking: "where has the time gone."

So, I pulled out my wreath and a few other Christmas decorations. And I've set my budget for Christmas shopping. So I guess I need to act quickly...Christmas is just three weeks away!!

This has to be my lucky number.I'm praying we can look forward to 30 more days...

30 more weeks...

30 more months...

30 more years...

Thank you for being you. ♥Elise

Happy Monday bloggers! It's back to work for most of us after a long Thanksgiving weekend.

Let's play catch up soon. Until then...

♥Elise

Whew....

I feel like a turkey! Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL. We had everything that you can imagine!!!

For the first time in a loooonggg time, I stayed the night with my grandparents to help with Thanksgiving prep the next morning. I now have a new found respect for my grandmother for all of the work that's put into making Thanksgiving extra special. She pulls out fall table cloths, fine china, carries the extra leaf to add to the table, she decorates the children's table, the beverage tables and so much more. And she still managed to get dressed and look fabulous! PLUS...she can cook her butt off!

She is officially making me step up my game. My grandfather is one lucky man. Maybe that's why he's stuck around for 30 years:)

She even gave me a boost. I came home with several cooking utensils, casserole dishes AND cookbooks.

Gotta luv it!

Happy Thanksgiving blogosphere!

I'm saying it now because I will most likely be out of commission for the next few days. I hope that you eat well and remember to tell someone why you are thankful for them!
