</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm back from a nice vacation with the fam. The kids are off track, so we went to Las Vegas with Mr. D and enjoyed some amazingly warm weather, while Mr. D had some work to do. We went to a different park everyday and had frozen yogurt everyday... in fact, it was so warm that the kids were<b><i> complaining </i></b>it was too hot. Funny. Their little bodies just didn't have time to adjust! They went from snow & freezing cold, to hot & sunny 80-90 degree weather. We surprised the kids with a little 2 day trip to Cali too. Loved my time with the kids, however, I had a hard time being disconnected from the computer for a week. I usually put the kids to bed and hop on the computer... well, I guess the bonus to no internet is more sleep. :) I now have a lot to catch up with, but am always grateful for playtime with my kiddos. Will post more photos later. </div>Alisa: a pina coladahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05137810046673228304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946180907384941908.post-80685778240243192032011-03-28T23:28:00.000-06:002011-03-28T23:28:00.049-06:00Inspiring Color: Chartreuse & Gray<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGH_MkJjzxEMp0Sermv6QCcnHUd6gKxVMHSGPLU996vjCKRRFbWOTHkV4p_ozyI_5MZY3nPDazGZS0y1Y1rpfTipCp1Ay133NXkWRjgklHQ4VDQ8qPsofTGPwn9-LCBwLg7usQnKM7008/s1600/coastal.impressive-style-stripe-l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGH_MkJjzxEMp0Sermv6QCcnHUd6gKxVMHSGPLU996vjCKRRFbWOTHkV4p_ozyI_5MZY3nPDazGZS0y1Y1rpfTipCp1Ay133NXkWRjgklHQ4VDQ8qPsofTGPwn9-LCBwLg7usQnKM7008/s1600/coastal.impressive-style-stripe-l.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">New favorite color combo: Chartreuse and Gray. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">Also diggin' the thick stripes and Chartreuse tufted settee. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

Funny thing was, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">I was scheduled to go on toward the end of the show, but the person that was</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> scheduled to be in the first segment didn't make it there in time, so I had to rush on! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">They didn't even know she wasn't there until they went to commercial and then they realized she wasn't there... so they rushed my table on the set </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">and before I knew it I heard: "5,4,3,2,1 and you're on!" </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">I was so frazzled and hadn't quite finished setting up, and had No clue where to stand.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">I desperately did not want to go on TV. :) Now, I know more of what to expect </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">when I go back. Yes, I did say that I'd do it again... YIKES! :{/:}</span><br />

All I can say is I'm a HUGE fan of<a href="http://www.modernpalm.com/shop?page=shop.browse&category_id=20"> Kobo Soy Candles</a>. In fact, that is the reason I added them to <a href="http://www.modernpalm.com/shop?page=shop.browse&category_id=20">Modern Palm</a>... I fell in with the book and the cover. The packaging is unique and beautiful, you don't even need gift wrapping, and the scents are memorable, unique, and fresh. "Woooow!" Is usually the word that sneaks out after someone smells a <a href="http://www.modernpalm.com/shop?page=shop.browse&category_id=20">Kobo Candle</a> for the first time. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
