Love is in the Air

I bought a bag of mixed Hershey chocolates - rolos, kisses and bity reese cups. It wasn't a valentine's mix bag. It's an empty-candy-jar mixed bag. A bag filled with all-silver wrapped kisses - no red or pink or purple. As I was finishing the last of the kisses, I started noticing the kiss flags. (Be honest. When you need a piece of chocolate, do you read the fine print?)

I like you - The best place to start.

You love me - Sir, yes sir.

Kiss someone - Like who? It should say "Kiss me".

Ouch - Love hurts?

I guess Hershey had extra runs of flags that didn't make it into Valentine kisses. Or these were sayings that were rejected.

What do you want your Hershey kiss flag to say?

THE SAINTS HAVE MARCHED IN!

Was that an awesome game or what?!!!

Who dat??? NOBODY, BABY!!!!

My mama has been holding out on me. She just told me that she went to every single homegame of the Saints their first season in 1967. She said she has programs, doubloons and other goodies stashed away.

I think she lived pretty cool life back in the day.

GAME GEAR

We are going to a Super Bowl Party tomorrow. Big Daddy is from New Orleans so we gotta REPRESENT!

So what if I have the cell number of the manager at FanAttic so I can text her the size Championship t-shirts I want right after the Saints win the Super Bowl? Don't be a hater.

(Lois Lane II, you will be receiving a championship shirt. I know you've been waiting for it for a while.)

Home Improvement Shows

I wish I could say that I have been toiling away at improving my house. I read many other blogs that have great ideas for updating your house on the cheap, turning trash into decorative treasure, and giving tips and tricks for turning bedsheets into curtains and more. Blogs like Thrifty Decor Chic, My Spare Time and Just a Girl are some of the places I visit to get insipration from "real" people. People who spend "real" money...not "tv" money.

"TV" money allows shows to improve homes without labor costs. "TV" money doesn't include all the furniture that is used to stage the improved space. For example, one of my favorite home improvement shows is Income Property. (I think the host is cute and would be cuter if he had a new haircut, but that's a whole other post.) I was watching it last night and saw a dingy 800 sq ft apartment transformed into a super chic little pad. I was impressed with the outcome and took away a few great ideas, but I'm pretty sure the $20,000 reno cost didn't include all the furniture. They put in a kitchen (which included moving the plumbing)! and a bath! and reinsulated the whole place....for $20,000?!?

Have to throw the doubt it card on that one.

The next show that came on was House Hunters International. Another favorite of mine. The last two episodes I've seen were folks house-hunting in Bali and Figi. Oh, how I long to go to either one of those places. They are both on my "TO SEE BEFORE I DIE" long list, and my "TO SEE WHILE I CAN STILL WEAR A BATHING SUIT IN PUBLIC" short list. I can't even imagine owning a home there. Just think ....(insert dream sequence here)....getting off a plane and shuttling in a beaten up Jeep driven by "your man" who keeps the property while you are gone to your house, throwing your little bag full of bikinis, coverups and sparkly flip-flops on to the white cotton bedding, then heading out of the drawn-open glass walls of your tiki to recline by the pool.

Not that I've thought about it much.

Not that I've been looking at website selling Balinese property.

I think I need a vacation.
