I am a forty something, mod girl at heart, with the sense of humor of a fourteen year old boy, who likes to bake and wear aprons. While I am shopping for goceries (in my dress and kitten heels) I am thinking about taking you down. I will post all things I love or make my day.

“Without the ability to fully love or be fully loved, so many of us think that the acquisition of money can bring self-esteem and happiness. I’ve enjoyed friendship with some exceedingly wealthy people. If money brought happiness, then each of them should be ecstatically happy. But I doubt whether any of them is any happier than any of my less well-to-do friends. Money, it seems, attracts more envy than empathy. More lust than love.” -Cary Grant
