Mighty Life List

I was reading one of the blogs I follow today and found out about this great idea, Mighty Life List. You make a list of 100 or so  things you want to do before you go, some don't have to be so grand, just simple like bake a carrot cake.

So here is my Mighty Life List. Hopefully I will start to cross some of these off soon!

July Forth-Red, White and Blue

I can't believe 4th of July is a week away! AHHH! I don't want the summer to be going by so fast. Well these hot summer days have kept me busy by the pool, and I'm looking forward to the 4th for some more fun in the sun and bbq. I haven't been eating red meat, but I will make an exception come next Monday.

Million Dollar Decorators

Well, I don't have cable. And I sorta heard this show was going to start on Bravo, but then I forgot about it. One of the blogs a read reminded me that the first episode was on a few nights ago!! I will somehow find it on-line to watch. Today I researched all the designers on the show. The only one I'm familiar with is Mary McDonald(which is my fav!), but all the designers are great. Can't wait to watch and see how they work.


Mary McDonald is traditional and glam. Uses color to perfection.

Jeffery Alan Marks, traditional and comfortable elegance.

Kathryn Ireland, Relaxed Bohemiem

Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Eclectic and Fun.

Nathan Turner. Relaxed, California Feel. 

The designers.
