Legally Blonde's Proceedings

I decorate for most holidays, and Halloween is no different.   Time for the Kara's Halloween Decorations {2015 Edition}... The Front Entry... Just past the entry inside, there is an art niche, which has a couple of Halloween touches... The mantle and other living room decor... The breakfast room has lots of decor These placemats are new.  I loved the old ones I had, but when I saw these, they just spoke to me. The Halloween Tree I added a few new ornaments this year. These vintage looking ones.... Here you can see another of the vintage looking signs, and also the silver and also some of the new Shiny Brite mini's that were a new addition. I also added a box of bigger Shiny Brite balls that have black velvety scenes The haunted houses The tree and haunted houses at night... I found this adorable ceramic soap dispenser at Bath & Body Works and couldn't resist i...

I have completed the Weekend Express class!  Tomorrow will be the first day since Easter that I didn't have to work.  Well, I worked on Easter getting ready for my Express class, but tomorrow is the first day I don't have to actually be anywhere working.  I'm so darn tired I feel like this squirrel I caught chilling on my fence... I got through with court today at about 1:00.  I spent the afternoon working in the yard.  I have been collecting plants for over a month and I finally got around to planting them.  The weather was great.  Overcast, but not windy.  Warm enough, but not too warm.  Lola enjoyed some time in the great outdoors as well. Working in the yard is just one of the 50 things on my to-do list.  Cleaning my house needs to be somewhere high up on that list.  It's a bio hazard at this point.  But I don't know how much I will accomplish tomorrow.  I feel a serious case of lazy's coming on!...

Yesterday, I went to the Dallas Arboretum.  Lisa, Jennifer, and I went as my birthday outing.  We got a late start due to some court delays, so we stopped for lunch first.  I needed some make-up too, so we went to Neimans.  We ogled some purses, had lunch, I got some make-up and then we headed out to the arboretum (in the rain). It was raining pretty good on the way over, but luckily, we only needed umbrellas for a few minutes.  Thankfully the sun never came out, because it was so humid, I'm pretty sure we would have melted.  First, we made our way toward the Pumpkin Village... I love how they made garland out of the mini-pumpkins...   These rose bushes were just stunning!  The roses on each bush varied in color from a coral, to a blush, to a purple hue... It was Fall at the arboretum, and pumpkins, gourds, and mums are a large part of the visit.  However, they also have a...
