Quarantine Week FIVE

May 3, 2020

The 5th week of our quarantine was uneventful and as LB described “I think we’re getting used to it”.  With the exception of missing my family gatherings, I could continue this way indefinitely.

From the beginning of this new way of life, I have NOT lived in sweat pants.

I start my day with a shower, then get dressed, make up the bed, grab a cup of GOOD coffee, and walk around the corner to my home office.

Which, by the way, is pretty cute.

Also, a bad hair day is not an issue and I can wear whatever I want.

My Office

used to be Amanda’s bedroom.

After she moved I converted it to look like the office I had while I was working for Liberty Furniture (2003-2010).

It is painted white and Exuberant Pink with black accents including a Thomasville partners desk and hutch.

This is the hutch.

Before last Tuesday it was an LB catch-all.  Much tidier now.

While I’m seated at my desk, this is

My View…

It may not be much, but it is much more personal than my office in Fleming Island.

I have a couple of aluminum ceiling tiles that are framed (a gift from Stephanie), a collage filled with reminders of a biking adventure with LB at Jekyll Island, An original piece of artwork featuring a quactopus (created by Stephanie).

A baby degree

(AA from Florida Community College at Jacksonville),

Which I will be replacing with a big girl degree very soon.

And a large black bulletin board filled with memorabilia.

The bulletin board came home with me when I left my Liberty Furniture life in 2010 (because it was mine anyway).

There are photos of my three “babies”

(Adorable)

and a WalMart clock that LB felt was necessary.

I have a drawing of “Aunt Kim” and a drawing of a giraffe by my niece Sydney Rigdon.

The statement “Unburdened by the rigors of coherent thought” goes along with my pretend blonde persona.

Included is a photo that was screenshot from TV when we visited the TODAY Show in February 2009.

Also an article that was published in the Times Union about My Daddy is posted.  I shared this article here.

Below the article is a painting by Lydia (which I displayed here)

and a pic of a tornado that was taken from the Liberty Furniture parking lot, which used to be on University Blvd.  And last but not least, there is the bumper sticker reminder to

JUST BE NICE

Because occasionally we all need to be reminded.

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
