Am I The Only One Who Didn't Know?

Do you know what a "doyenne" is?

I bet most of you do... but I didn't.

I had to look it up on an internet dictionary.

Then I had to find one that would pronounce it for me.

I read that homemaker "doyenne" Martha Stewart 

is going to develop some sort of mini-shops 

within the J.C.Penney stores.

BTW...

Check out my blog next week when I share my terrarium.

I might even share a photo of me making it.

After all I am a "doyenne" too!

Yes, I am the "old woman" in my group,

and we can both (sorta) wear yellow!

Btw... I am much younger!

Okay... back to Martha.

Wasn't she selling things for Macy's?

So now it appears that Macy's just may be 

suing "doyenne" Stewart.

If you have some time on your hands 

and want to read more about that, 

just click here.

But I bet you'd rather know a little more 

about saving money at J.C.Penney.

If you even shop there...

I am not really sure that lowering their prices 

is what people really want from that store.

I for one, would like more.

Anyway... back to the big news.

All merchandise will be marked down by 40% 

and they will have Every Day, Month-Long Values

and Best Prices after the initial 40% reduction.

Sounds kind of like WalMart to me.

But apparently they will go through all merchandise 

prices from last year and actually reduce it.

Not last years merchandise, but the prices they 

charged for those items last year, and then those 

reduced prices will be the Every Day prices.

Still sounds like a "sale" to me... 

"Month-Long Values" and then the 

"Best Prices" for all the clearance items.

Now, if you really have a lot of free time 

and just need to know more... 

go to this Yahoo article for more details.

But... 

I'd rather you just check out the following link!

What Made Me Think...?

Well it's more like, "What makes you think..." and it is something I frequently say to my husband. It is usually part of a conversation brought about by something he did, might do, or didn't do.

His response to this is just a quiet,

"Hmmm... what makes me think..."

~~~

The last time I said that... I tried to justify it by telling him that Martha Stewart says that too. In fact she said that to her television guest just the other day.

Martha Stewart

His only response to that was, "It's a good thing", and that was end of our conversation... Um, I just needed time to regroup.

~~~

Well anyway, crazy as it may be, I actually asked myself  that very question today... out loud no less!

Let me further explain this conversation... with myself. I just recently became a blogger. Knowing full well about my OCD tendencies... I should have known better! 

Not only am I up late into the night reading blogs, I am up even later into the night, trying to connect to others by writing my own blog.

 ~~~

But wait! It gets worse.... I stumbled on Susan's  Between Naps on the Porch, and you can guess the rest. Yes!  I have to confess! I am hooked on her Tablescape Thursdays. I'm sure she planned it that way... she may even be a dealer!?!

Soooo... not only am I reading blogs, writing blogs (you should see all my unpublished drafts), designing little vignettes (all over the house),  taking pictures (or as we call them at my house "photo shoots")... but now I am out marathon shopping!  After all... I really need that one (one?) more item to complete a tablescape.

NOTE: tablescapes are never completed, as there are an infinite number of possibilities.

~~~

When all this started, I justified it as my "new hobby".  After all, lots of people have hobbies...

Yes, I call it a hobby, but others may call it something else...

So I had to ask myself,

"What were you thinking?".
