FINISH IT UP FRIDAY---FIVE FOTOS


Well, LUCKY LUCKY YOU!
I found a whole other file full
of pictures that 
don't really have a "story line"-
although I could probably 
CREATE A STORY
to go with them.

But-here you go!
I love the colors
of fall shown here.
This house is in NY state.
This is what it looked like this week
as a storm was coming in from the west.
Today it is raining----again---
Our trees are all bare now.
While MyHero was away a few weekends ago
my son(s) came over and put in a new
office floor for him
as a surprise.
We have hardwoods 
through the whole upstairs
but put carpet in this room 
on a lower level.
Hated it from day one.
New floor-old rug-
MyHero loves his nautical theme.
I saw this converted closet and thought it was a
GREAT IDEA!!!!
And another cute idea that would work
in a dorm room or an efficiency apartment.
Isn't that clever?
buy the plan here
Getting my  picture files cleared out feels
SO GOOD!

Speaking of feeling good...
Losing weight has FELT GOOD.
BUT............
It is not without its pitfalls.
What?
Losing weight has pitfalls, you ask.
Why, Yes!  Yes it does!

What most of you don't know is that I wear
SKIRTS or DRESSES
sometimes, most of the time, all of the time, often.
Pitfall there?
I also wear a half slip under my skirt or dress
because I don't like it "clinging to me".
Yep- I am old school that way.
Still no problem, right?

WRONG!
I was walking 
IN A STORE THE OTHER DAY
when I felt something "tripping me"..
ummm...
my SLIP had SLIPPED and was around 
MY FEET!
This is a re-creation at home.
I was NOT going to take a picture 
in WALMART!
YESSSSSSS!  WALMART!
I fit right in with the best of them.
What did I do?
I cleverly stepped out of it,
picked it up with the toe of one foot,
caught it with my hand,
stuffed it in my purse,
 and continued shopping.

I expect to see my picture on the internet
with my slip around my ankles 
ANY DAY NOW!

Hope YOU ALL have a good day!
If you are out and about 
LOOK FOR ME.
I will be the one with no clothes slip on!

Oh- Yeah!
BE CAREFUL!
It is 
FRIDAY THE 13TH!
You know what that means!
BAD LUCK!
Like YOU might LOSE 
your marbles something 
in Walmart yourself.

    I bet that was embarrassing! I can picture you going on, with slip in your purse, as if nothing had happen.
    Love your photo's.
    Have a nice day!

    Ha ha! Oh my gosh, Diana...only you! Of course, you handled the "slip-hap" with your usual style and grace! Is this karma for all the Wal-Mart pictures you post?! Anyway, congrats on the weightloss - that's awesome! Jane

    Oh dear... a wardrobe malfunction! Sounds like you dealt with it with as little fuss as possible. We've all had our moments. Too bad yours happened in Walmart! That book nook picture is great, by the way. -Jenn

    Diana, You know someone saw that slip...yikes. I hope your shoes went with your purse. LOL. You kill me girl. I love the new flooring with the rug. That nook is for me. I have no extra closet though. I think that's a beautiful fall picture. If I lived there, I take a picture like that and make cards from it. Blessings to you, you thin thing, xoxo,Susie

    Don't you hate a wardrobe malfunction? Great recovery! I love the new floor and the fact your sons put it in as a surprise--so sweet! The rug is great, also. Be careful with your skirts, Diana----I don't want to see you on the news again... Have a great day! xoxo ♥

    Lol.... that's a good thing, a great excuse to go shopping for new clothes! :-0 I love that book nook idea too, I have it pinned ;-) In my current den the previous owners built a recessed nook for books and I love it! Not quite as big, you can't sit in it, but still neat. Have a fabulous Friday the 13th!!!

    ROTFL~~ I can just see your slip around your ankles. Too funny. I think you'll be shopping for some new dresses. I like a half slip too when I wear a dress. Just wired that way!! Love your hero's new floor. Gorgeous wood shade too. That little nook made from a closet is a great idea. I would love to do that in a closet. Love your first fall photo. Have a great day! xo

    First of all, that is the most beautiful picture at the top of your post! Wow! I can't believe that your slip just slid off of you like that. That is too funny! Hmmmmm.........I haven't had any clothing just slide off of me in a long time. Guess I should go on this diet too! Ha Ha.

    Good think you weren't arrested for stealing the slip - just kidding. I love the new look for your husbands study- nice of the boys to do that. Like the dorm room too. Gosh I wonder whose house that was in New York - it was gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, no, I am headed to Walmart this morning.....I am so glad I am not wearing a skirt (too cold and windy....the wind could blow up my skirt making for another WM picture) today.
    I would say you are losing weight big time...congrats...this is good knowing you are getting more healthy every day! Thanks for the laugh today.

    I love all your pictures and especially the one of the bed that doubles as a dining table. That would be great in one of those tiny houses everyone is so crazy about.

    As for your slip... I was laughing so hard because the same thing happened to me! Only I was walking down the street in center city. I neatly stepped out of it and walked on, leaving it laying on the pavement. You don't think I was going to claim it, do you? Oh, Diana, we are kindred souls.

    Nice recovery... just flipping it up with your foot. But, losing your slip is much better than losing your underpants. That happened to an older lady my mother used to take to lunch.

    Well hey, it's better than coming out of the bathroom and walking around the store with toilet paper stuck to your shore! That's always been one of those weird things I check for.

    Love that book nook and YourHero's new floor! Does he have a picture of the Edmund Fitzgerald on his wall?

    Hahaha...oh my! Yes losing weight can be a pitfall to clothing not staying up. Maybe you need to get the sewing machine out and fix them? Then you're saving money and your clothes stay up! ;0)
    Loved the Fall photo. That is so pretty! Even though your trees are bare, it still a remarkable view. Love it!
    Love the wood floor! We have all wood minus the boys rooms, they have carpet....one day I'd love to do wood in them too.
    I hope you have a great weekend, Diana!

    Beautiful autumn picture! And your sons did an excellent job for their father! Diana, I did a post once called Your Slip Is Showing and man o' man, yours sure was! No one could have handled that situation with as much aplomb as you did though. We were married on a Friday the 13th so have always considered it our lucky day, well depending on what kind of day we were currently having, that is. Now, I've got go back in your posts because I think I missed out on hearing about you losing weight. Congratulations, my dear, because that is not an easy thing to do!

    Oh my, oh my! You have become one of the Walmart people.....well, from the knees down! Reminds me of the time as a middle schooler I was walking home and noticed a hole in my pantyhose. I started pulling at it and it ripped badly to the point of taking the whole leg off! My route was through a few residential neighborhoods and a busy intersection! Not sure who saw me! Love the new floor...so pretty! That closet book nook is fabulous too!

It's gotten cooler here and now is finally feeling like fall. The grand kids were still wearing shorts to school earlier this week! Good for you on your weight loss! I had another friend who lost her panty hose at church! LOL! I'll let you know when the new "people of Walmart" shows up! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Leena

    I love the closet turned book nook. As for the slip story, our late pastor used to share a story from his early days....a woman came forward at the end of the service and her skirt slipped to the floor! He said his wife and several other women stepped forward to surround her while she pulled her skirt back up! lol

    I like the new floor. Very pretty. You must be one of the few women to still wear a slip! I still have a few, but don't even know where to buy them anymore. Slips and pantyhose seem to have gone the way of the dodo.
