Mrs. Magnolia would love to be Don Drapers Secretary

Mrs. Magnolia sat in a park on a bench reading her favorite cookbook and trying to figure out what to cook her Husband for dinner.

 The book (The Family Circle Fish & Poultry Cookbook  1955)

 "Oh what's this Mrs. Magnolia found?" A Lobster dish!

 She then headed back for home and stopped to take some pictures in the trees..

Thank heavens for her Mastercraft purse

and Petticoat

"Would you like a coffee Mr. Draper?"

I have had this dress for awhile now and was waiting for the perfect time to wear it.

Since Mad Men season 5 premiered this week I thought it would be perfect.

BUT HEY!! I haven't watched it yet... "Why??" Because it's been so long since it was last on the Hubs and I decided to Re-watch it from Season 1. Right now I am in the middle of season 2...

SO NO SPOILERS *lol*

 Mrs. Magnolia loves to make faces. But when her husband is taking the photo and sees the face made on the still image in the camera he looked up over the camera to see what his wife is doing.

 Which made Mrs. Magnolia laugh!

Later in the evening when Mrs. Magnolia switches back to Vintage Coconut this photo was taken.

In which I was making YET ANOTHER FACE...

 Did you know at one time in my life when I was little and asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I used to say a Ventriloquist. *LMAO*

I swear up and down left and right I am not joking. Whenever I think about that now it gives me a good laugh. (I was not your average child.) And I bet my parents are glad that dream did not come true. (No offense to the Ventriloquists)

P.s. Some of you were wondering what type of Cat Eyes I am looking to get in the future.

"When I said in my last post about Cat eyes with gold and rhinestone accents."

These glasses are for sale here:

These are along the lines of what I have in mind. I love the look of them, but I am all about finding a bargain and that is something that needs to be waited out.

Plus I don't know how my Man will take the news... that I am obsessed with vintage glasses.

(I have been trying to keep it a secret.)

Nothing in particular

This is my Mom's friends Genie's Coconut Monkey she got while in Mexico on holidays.

Isn't she pretty?! She has shells for ears. *lol*

Look at these boots I spotted in our Salvation Army *hehe* They were 1 size too small for my feet but I tried anyhow.... and NOPE no luck. I thought they were so cool though.

 Rice pudding in  our little department store Diner. I went there for dinner after a full day of thrift shopping. The diner woun't be around for much longer as they are going to be renovating the store which is a Zellers now into a Target. I am happy we will be getting a Target store but really wish they could keep the Diner.

I got the cat eye glasses I ordered from Etsy. Now I just have to call around and find the best price for getting my prescription put in them. They are my first vintage glasses.  I wanted to find a pair on a good deal to see how much I like cat eyes. If I end up REALLY liking them then I will splurge on a more flashy pair (You know with rhinestones and flair) in the future. I am always admiring those glamerous ones.. but I didn't want to spend a starting price of $80 for something if I wasn't sure I would LOVE THEM and wear them often.

In the past few months I have not been too thrilled with weight I have gained over uhmmm Fall & Winter lets say (Really it's been a little longer but really I just don't want to talk about it). *haha* So I decided I will try and get in the habit of exercising more. Yesterday I tried Zumba for beginners which pretty much just teaches you the dance moves to the dances you will be doing. *OHMG* I felt like this octopus below.

 I seriously felt like I had 4 arms and 4 legs I was so confused and un coordinated it was quite funny.

But that doesn't mean it wasn't fun. I really hope I get better at it. The Pros are you get to dance to Latin music and learn SWEET dance moves & burn calories at the same time. Cons (Right now I keep the curtains closed.) Nothing I am doing looks like what the people on the video are doing. I swear if I recorded myself I would look like a demented drunk jellyfish!

I plan to switch things up and do other kinds of exercises also. (To hopefully keep me from getting bored and quitting.) Once you get in the habit of exercising it is VERY EASY to keep doing it. It's just getting back in to it that's hard. And that's where I am at ... Trying to get into some sort of fitness routine. WHY?? Because my fave pairs of jeans aren't really fitting all that great atm. My weakness... Chips (Jalapeno, Mesquite, Ketchup, Malt Vinegar or Dill pickle) It really doesn't matter... but that is my guilty pleasure.

This made me smile
