Ornament Swap 2010

Ok ya'll, it's time for the Just Lovely Ornament Swap! If you would like to join in leave a comment on this post & make sure to leave your email address. You do NOT have to have a blog to participate (cough, cough Brittany), but please only sign up if you will definitely participate. I'd be super sad if someone got left out!

I think we should get this underway soon bc a lot of ppl put their trees up right after Thanksgiving. So, the deadline to enter will be Monday the 22nd. I'll pair ppl up and list the pairs on Tuesday the 23rd. Please send out your ornament to your partner by Wednesday, December 1st.

I'll set the spending limit at $12 and get creative! Last year my partner sent me a local ornament from NYC which was really cool! Hope ya'll play along!!

Lexington got Groupon!

Sign Up HERE

I was excited to find out that Lexington recently got groupon.

How it works:

1. Get It

2. Check your email, Facebook or Twitter feeds for daily deals on cool local businesses.
3. Share It - Groupons are more fun when used with friends. Pass along deals by email or broadcast them to your social networks. (you don't have to share it)
4. Enjoy It - Print the voucher or bring it up on your mobile device, then present it at the business to get your deal

Today I bought 3 visits to BounceU for $10. This would usually cost about $30. The deal is good for 4 months...so I can take Logan 3 times this winter since it will be too cold to play outside! Something fun for me to do with him and got a great deal!

 

A lot of cities have Groupon. Use the link above to go to their site and see if your city is one of them. You could also sign up for several cities if you travel a lot or plan on vacationing in the upcoming months.

prints

i've been searching for a set of botanical prints to hang in our living room but never found a complete set in which i liked all the print. but, i found a guy on ebay who made me a "special" collection. aren't they pretty?!

ben will be SO thrilled that i'm adding more pink to the condo :)

VOTE Wilkie!!

To all those voting in Lexington....

from a local attorney:

"I am asking for your support in tomorrow's Fayette County District Court judge's race. We need to elect KIM WILKIE as our next District Court judge. The Fayette County Bar Associationconducted a poll amongst it's  members who regularly practice against our current judge and practice with Kim Wilkie. The bar results were overwhelmingly in favor of Kim and against his opponent, Maria Ransdell. Kim has the knowledge, the experience, and the demeanor to run an efficient and civilized courtroom. The Herald-Leader conducted interviews with each candidate and also looked at the poll results and they also are putting their support behind Kim Wilkie. TheFraternal Order of Police have also put their support behind Kim. 

District Court judges are very important and touch each of our lives.  No one plans to go to court, but sometimes that's where you find yourself.  District judges make rulings  on traffic violations, emergency protective orders, evictions, probate matters, juvenile proceedings, misdemeanors, and whether a felony can proceed to the grand jury. This is an important election and I hope that you will consider this email when you cast your vote tomorrow and please pass it on to your Fayette Co. friends if you do not live in Fayette Co.  I am asking this of you both as a former prosecutor and an attorney that regularly practices in District Court."
