if i had a million dollars

I went hunting again. Not for anything in particular. Just for relaxation. I take great pleasure in walking quietly thru a huge warehouse of eye candy with no one pulling on me, whining at me or asking if we can leave.<br /><br />This trip seemed to have a chinoiserie theme. I found a million and one things that I wouldn't mind adding to my pad. But again, just looking. Here are just a few.<br /><br />Let's walk, shall we?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi27ncNZJkf42MxvVIXgEKZV_nZNMrHFVqnl0zvU2nhE0prB_NEWIWSWs4gSkpA9LnxbTWmUUy6FapP14ES1lBE4_oHOjpTB0F0iHC2XUEgeIPFyyshqqL9yszYZ-LEyx1sdmkfD7Um4dMX/s1600/IMG_0346.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi27ncNZJkf42MxvVIXgEKZV_nZNMrHFVqnl0zvU2nhE0prB_NEWIWSWs4gSkpA9LnxbTWmUUy6FapP14ES1lBE4_oHOjpTB0F0iHC2XUEgeIPFyyshqqL9yszYZ-LEyx1sdmkfD7Um4dMX/s640/IMG_0346.JPG" width="472" /></a></div>This chair was in excellent condition.

They would go to a good home and would be petted and massaged daily. I would give these sconces anything they wanted. Except for the money they were asking. And if I want to be responsible about the whole thing, they were really big and I don't think I have anywhere that they could go. Except my dining room. Or the living room. Or my sconce room. It could happen.<br /><br />How I love my little antique mall down the street from my house.<br /><br />Done any window shopping lately? Ever had something you would throw yourself on the floor for? Wanna go in on the sconces? We can share them.

Mitt Romney Reflects on the Campaign

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />Hola y’all! Mitt here. Mittster. Mitterino. THE MITTENATOR! Matt and Jay have graciously agreed to let me use their blog to work things out after my shocking and devastating loss on Tuesday. I’m very thankful for this and yes, I agree that it’s very rare to see the words “Matt,” “Jay” and “gracious” in the same sentence. EL OH EL Guys! Just a little jokey-poo.<br /><br />You know, just a few days ago I couldn’t get away with saying “hola.” I would have caught crap from the media for trying to pander to the Hispanic vote. Man, am I glad this campaign is over. I think. Well, I’m not happy that I lost, but at least I don’t have to worry about getting in trouble for saying “hola” to Lupe in the mornings when I come downstairs for breakfast. Where is Lupe with my hot chocolate? She’s so slow.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid7Uzy_Dd7SqFkBry0N1IsNBRyW4mQZJrLyDR2YafYSk9N2PhYcF740wnrCIR8RohmwjycO_itrNdtVex-p8ZT0PDUfsgo_afbq7zwDV2wbDhAVLfPdRvgoGbzOhVBpFXu7WTYehox-L4/s1600/Romney+Crying.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid7Uzy_Dd7SqFkBry0N1IsNBRyW4mQZJrLyDR2YafYSk9N2PhYcF740wnrCIR8RohmwjycO_itrNdtVex-p8ZT0PDUfsgo_afbq7zwDV2wbDhAVLfPdRvgoGbzOhVBpFXu7WTYehox-L4/s320/Romney+Crying.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>I just can’t believe I lost. I really thought I had this one in the bag. I don’t know what bag, but I had it in there. I’m starting to wonder if some of the people I had working on my campaign really knew what they were doing.  I’m a CEO, not worker bee so I don’t really know what they were doing all the time when I was on the road. Instead of polling they could have been calling phone sex lines for all I know.<br /><br />I know it wasn’t my position on the issues because I made sure nobody had any idea where I stood on those. Man, I was so smooth when it came to being pinned down on anything. I made sure that before anyone knew what I had said, I had someone put out a statement “explaining” what I REALLY meant. Hehe … That confused the hell out of those morons in the lame stream media.<br /><br />Of course there was that Hurricane Sandy and the whole thing with Chris Christie. I don’t know what to think about that. At first I thought everything was cool, but lately I’ve been thinking that I’m not all that happy with him. Nope. Not happy. AT. ALL!<br /><br />Seriously can you believe that guy? I don’t want to use a bad word here but FUCK THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE CHRISTIE! THAT SORRY SON OF A BITCH! ONE LITTLE WIND STORM AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN HE’S HUGGING OBAMA AS IF THEY’RE LONG LOST FRIENDS OR SOME SHIT. THAT GUIDO MOTHERFUCKER TOTALLY SAT THERE PRAISING OBAMA AND HIS … LEADERSHIP?? OH FUCK ME. IS CHRIS CHRISTIE ITALIAN? I DON’T EVEN FUCKING CARE RIGHT NOW. FOR HIM TO PUT HIS STATE AND ALL THOSE “SUFFERING” PEOPLE AHEAD OF MY CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT IS AN ACT OF BETRAYAL! I KNOW THEIR HOMES WERE DESTORYED AND ALL THAT SHIT BUT WHAT ABOUT ME? I NEEDED HELP TOO! THAT BASTARD AND HIS STATE FULL OF KNUCKLE-DRAGGING, HAIRY-CHESTED MICHAEL CORELONE WANNABES CAN ALL GO STRAIGHT TO HELL!<br /><br />Sorry guys. I almost lost my cool for a minute there.<br /><br />I just don’t know what I’m going to do next. I guess when Tagg gets home, he and I can watch <i>Love, Actually </i>again. It’s our favorite movie and would allow me to cry without any questioning or having to talk about my feelings. Tagg has that “Mr. Sensitive” thing going and it really bugs me.<br /><br />Well Lupe finally brought my hot chocolate. I think I’ll just sit here in my den with the lights out for a while. I really feel like I might cry. This is the saddest I’ve ever been. Okay, that’s not really true. I was even sadder the day Esmeralda, the one I could never have, moved back to Chile. I begged her stay, but she said her family needed her. Yeah, well what about me? What about what I needed? Nobody cared, as usual. Story of my life y’all.<br /><br />Where did I put that bourbon?<br /><br />Also, don’t bother me with your fake sympathy. Tell Jayman all about it if you just have to say something.<br /><br /><a href="mailto:Jayman3768@gmail.com">Jayman3768@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/jayman_iws" target="_blank">@Jayman_IWS </a><br /><br /></div>

Fabulous eyes

I received a compact eye color from Influenster to test for being a Blogger. I love using eye shadow to add a little extra color to my fair skin complexion. I love how it came in a compact rather than in separate containers with many colors. I've always been a fan of this brand of makeup also! They have the most amazing colors and they last all day too! I love how you can control the amount of color you want on. I also love that it's cheap as well and that it comes in many shades of color for everyone's taste. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2PBlcAsciWg/UJwfr6h4DtI/AAAAAAAACuc/50DBN2_EZVw/s1600/nyc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2PBlcAsciWg/UJwfr6h4DtI/AAAAAAAACuc/50DBN2_EZVw/s320/nyc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <a href="http://newyorkcolor.com/">http://newyorkcolor.com/</a>

I have very dry irritated skin and I am always trying out different lotions. Love how the cleansing balm removes makeup to make your skin healthier looking and very soft instead of drying it out! Then I applied the night cream and it works very well! My skin has never been so soft in it's life and I love how I could feel it working right away.
