Are You with Me?

Are you in agreement with me that MAD MEN is the best show on television?

The story line is multifaceted and intriguing.

The acting is superb.

I can't think of better casting, costumes and set design.

Do you have favorite scenes or characters? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Tell the Truth

Remember, Don/Dick, Betty knows how to use it.

How I adore this show!

So, what do think will happen next?

What Were They Thinking?

Betty, Peggy, and Don. We need to talk.

What were you thinking?

How about embracing who you really are?

I am so sucked into this show--and I adore it!

Betty is always a vision. Duck and Peggy's hotel bedroom was a great and how does Don's hair still look good?

Any other fans out there?

Marble and Mad Men-a good combo

We are getting closer!

Just a sneak peak.

Wear and tear update too: I left coffee and catsup on the stone for a week. Not a problem.

I'm so impressed. Now, I wonder what red wine and blueberries would do?

More later...

Oh, and what did you think of Mad Men last night? Dick Whitman, when will you learn?!

Isn't Joan the best.

What I'm Thankful for Today

I was tagged by Blondie of 14kt Blonde.  I'm supposed to tell you five things that make me happy.  

#1:

My dear, sweet, most Don Draperishly handsome husband.  Today is our anniversary!  Am I a lucky girl or what?!   

(Yes, this is Mr. Donald Draper from Mad Men on AMC.  You see, Mr. Green's a bit too private for his actual photo to be posted here.)

#2:  Peppermint Ice Cream

#3:  Children's hands

#4. Happy phone call from a new friend

#5 The great gift of Baby Jesus

Be Don Draper

This is so funny!

Mad Men Season Finale

Now that the second season has ended for Mad Men, what am I going to do on Sunday nights? 

If you aren't watching this show, you ARE missing out.  It is the most compelling, well produced show (that I know of)  on television.   Rent/download the first season and watch it.  You will be hooked.  You may as well get the second season at the same time.  You can make it a Mad Men marathon!

   

The Latest Mad Men Episode

Any thoughts on the most recent episode?  

I've got an opinion and want to hear yours...

Tags aren't just for packages!

I've been tagged by  The Rauths 
I'm supposed to tell you 6 random things about me.  

Here are the "rules."

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post these six rules on your blog.
3. Write 6 random things about yourself.
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted.

Well, let's see:

1.  I can write backwards with my non-dominate hand.  Freaky, I know.  I must be borderline ambidextrous or something.  

2.  I canceled my cable.  I am now the biggest fan of APPLE TV.  If you haven't looked into it, DO.  You'll save money, have no commercials, and watch only what you want to watch.  For example, I saw the first episode of the new season of MAD MEN--and now have it on my Apple TV--and can watch Don and Betty Draper again and again!  

3.  I have a very old chocolate labrador.  Seeing my dog decline in his old age is much more depressing than I ever thought it would be.   Dogs are such a constant in our lives.  In this case 12 years and counting. 

4.  I'm addicted to coffee in the morning and sweet tea in the afternoon.  I just can't get through my day with out them--and believe it or not, the tea is always decaffeinated.  I'm a purist too--no artificial sweeteners will do.  I need sugar!

5.  Unlike Mrs. Rauth, I hate to do the dishes.  I can't stand the thoughts of touching dirty dishes.  I ALWAYS wear gloves when I HAVE to do them.  I sometimes go to the extreme of not cooking, just to avoid the clean up.  Plus, who wants to mess up that beautiful, clean kitchen

6.  I'm a bit obsessive about china (yet, I still don't like to wash it!).  I have numerous sets that I change out seasonally or with the theme of a party, etc.  I've gone a bit over the top and really need to edit.  

Now for the six that I am going to tag:

1.  Troy at Good Home, it's like we are old friends--and he's an amazing Southern writer!

2.  Copy Cat Chic, oh, so fun.  I wish I could shop and compare like this one can.

3.  Style Court, love it!  That's all there is to say.

4.  Monograms and Manicures, who doesn't just love this one?

5.  Southern Inspirations, a gal after my own Southern design heart!

6.  The Inspired Room, yes, I am SO inspired.
