Rinestone's on Wednesday

Why not? I love to add a little glitter into the middle of the week. I especially like this pair of earrings because I got them at an estate sale for a bargain with a matching necklace. I love to hunt for treasure in unexpected places....garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales.They have been a staple. I've worn them to several special events including my brothers wedding, but why save them for big days when there are Wednesdays?

Today's Gilded quote

To LOVE a person is to learn the song
That is in their HEART
And to SING it to them
When they have FORGOTTEN
-Unknown

My dear husband does this for me. He reminds me to run when I feel like being lazy.He holds my hand when I need assurance. He gently nudges my shoulders when I've lost my posture. He sings sometimes quietly, sometimes with a shout and I remember the song that is me.

Mom's secret indulgence chicken salad

There is one moment of quiet that happens in my day...nap time! It is sacred. I've started to skip the mac n cheese with the kids and make myself a "grown-up" lunch now and then for a treat. This is true "Gilded Burlap"...healthy with a stroke of indulgence stirred in.

One can precooked chicken (Kirkland from Costco)
One big handful of Craisins
2 dollops of Mayo-Kraft with olive oil
One small apple cut into small chunks
One Great Big handful of chocolate chips!
Salt and pepper to taste

I like it on a slim bun for a chicken salad sandwich....or right out of the bowl....it doesn't matter I'm not sharing anyways!

Enjoy!
