What I Did Wednesday #18


  1. Finally got my pony tail packaged up and in the mail to Locks of Love. I have to tell you that it is really weird to see your own pony tail laying on on your desk, unattached to your head. It was kind of creepy. ha.
  2. I needed a new winter coat so I shopped on Overstock.com for one. I didn't want something everyone else was wearing. I wanted something unique! I found a 1930's style short swing-coat in faux beaver fur. Ha. Perfect for those fancy business dinners The Mister is always dragging me to. But I'm crazy enough to wear it with jeans to the grocery, just like I did today. :)
  3. One of the younger kittens. Haven't been able to touch this one yet. Don't even know the sex. But it sure is beautiful. Especially those eyes!
  4. Barely got out of the village this morning when I drove past flair after flair along the road. Hmmm. Here's what I finally came upon. Had to turn around and take another route.
  5. Noticed this beautiful farm as I drove to the grocery.
  6. Noticed the snow on the neighbor's gazebo this afternoon.
  7. Saw the first icicles of the season!
  8. Watered the house plants.
  9. Chatted with Spencer.
  10. Enjoyed this barn with it's pretty decor.
  11. At the grocery, I perused the table of Christmas clearance items. Lots of tacky stuff. ha. But this box of pretty glass pine cone ornaments hopped in my cart and said, "Take me home!" so, I did. :)
  12. When I came home 3 hours later, that accident was still blocking the road! Oh my. That usually only means one thing...a fatality. And sure enough, I was right. So sad. And you know, I was running late this morning and left about 20 minutes later than I had planned. The accident happened 20 minutes before I arrived. Wow.
  13. Found a stack of Wolfgang Puck stainless mixing bowls with non-skid bottoms and fitted lids. 75% off because they were the display model. They jumped in my cart along side the pine cone ornaments. :)
  14. Really enjoyed this little Titmouse eating seed outside my kitchen window.


What did you do today? Hope it was wonderful!

  1. Did some grocery shopping, made supper for a SIL with a new baby that is sick, fed my always hungry crew here, took an invigorating walk, and played dice with the kids and my Hubby. Love your winter pics!

  5. Betsy nice coat I dont have one many years, I love jackets or blazers I use in autumn and winter but I know there is more cold.
    I water plants too, I cry a little time, I make dinner, (burgers), swim a little, take the ultimate apricots and Im seen recipes to make something with apricots, and now I have to iron (lol)

  7. Things jumping into carts just seem to happen all the time
    With no reason or not even a rhyme
    Wow on the twenty minutes late
    Someone was looking out for you at your gate
    But then good have went a whole other way
    Though does cause dismay
    And yeah the cat is very cute
    Maybe it will come if everything is on mute

  8. As usual, a hectic day.

    Glad your timing was so good in regards to the accident.

    The gazebo looks like an ideal setting for some sort of intimate event... but I always did have a soft spot for them.

    And is that coat as soft as it looks?

  9. Now you have to post a picture of yourself without the pony tail! 75% off Wolfgang Puck cookware. You did the right thing. I spent my day at hospital with Hubby, just got home, ate leftovers and now I'm off to the Land of Nod.

  16. that kitten is for sure beautiful! 1 thing i loved about the States is that if you buy something that was in exposition you get such a nice deal on it, here in Europe that won't happen (i cannot speak for the whole Europe but the place we live they don't do it (you pay the same price for everything ):-( .. happy day Betsy!

  17. My Blogging Year hasn't started properly until I get chance to call in on one of my very favourite bloggers of all time. I have now called. Let 2012 commence. Happy New Year to you and all your boys Betsy.

  18. When I read the part about you mailing your hair I started wondering if they send you a picture of the wig they make. That would be nice.

    It has been a while since I last saw flares on the road. I guess once you quit going to work everyday and drive somewhere only a few days a week that I rarely see any accidents. I used to see so many and just never thought much about how few I now see.

    Love the snow and sometimes wish we had some here, but I guess it would be strange, thanks for sharing yours with us.

    God bless.

  19. Well, Alan, that was the sweetest thing to say. You've started my day off with a smile. Thank you. :)

  20. Oh, Betsy, I'm so glad you had a twenty minute delay. I knew #4 didn't look good. So sad.

    My favorite coat is one I found at Canton Trades Day for $10. It is a great old A-line, 3/4 sleeves, black soft wool with a little mink collar and one BIG button. LOVE it! I know I would love yours, too! blessings ~ tanna

    ReplyDelete
  21. tanna ~ your coat sounds like the exact same style as mine...even down to the one big button! :)

  22. I love short, swing coats. You go!

    Those bowls... what a find.

    I had a similar experience a few days ago, coming up on a wreck that had just happened. I, too, was running late... God's protection.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ooh I like the bowls and the pine cones. What did I do? Apparently I caught the stomach flu. :(

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh, Rebecca ~ I'd rather catch anything but that. :( So sorry!

    ReplyDelete
  25. What I Did Wednesday: I made a dear friend 20 minutes late in starting her errands.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Silver~we are all so glad that you did!

    Betsy~yeah stomach flu doesn't rank very high on my list either.

    ReplyDelete
  27. See, Silver...I always said you were a superhero. You saved my life....and you just had to be long-winded...didn't even use your cape. lol... :)

    Thought of you today as I prepared a gift basket for a friend turning 75 that we've known since college. Driving to Santa Barbara this afternoon for the celebration.

  44. Seeing an accident that you might have been involved in, had things been a little different, is a very sobering experience. Glad your day had some cheerful things in it too. I would love that coat!
