One More Note ...
If you are need of one of the BACK IN STOCK fragrance oils, please email me directly at info@daystarsupplies.com ~ my web designer won't be online updating for the rest of the week. With that in mind, please lift up Jo Ann of JP Designs in your prayers ~ she is going in for surgery and needs lots of prayer and love. ((Thank you))
Miscellaneous Afternoon Musings
It's Tuesday, right?
SALTY SAILOR & THAI COCO MARTINI are both BACK IN STOCK!
This week has already started off with a "BANG!" ... it all began when I dropped dear hubby off at rental car facility late Sunday afternoon ... as I began to drive off he yelled back to me that he forgot his work boots. :( He must wear his steel-toed work boots on this job - period. Did I mention that the rental car facility is a good 45 mins away from our house??? He first thought that he would just come back home and then drive back out to the job. I talked him out of that ... too much driving with too many weekenders headed home. So, to make it easiest on us both he went to Academy and bought an inexpensive pair of boots. Whew, that was easy enough, eh? Life with a man is NEVER dull!!
I survived Monday's ordeal of housework. Geesh, I really need a maid, LOL. No, I take that back - it's not so bad when Hubby is out on a job. He is the mess-maker so I am enjoying a clean house this week while he is at work. :-)
Really excited about Wednesday night!! Another concert in The Woodlands!! I am taking my son, sis-in-law, & nephew. It's DEF LEPPARD / POISON / CHEAP TRICK. It should be just loud enough without any lewdness for the two boys. My son is excited.
While all this is happening .. I am working orders ... don't fret ~ yours in on its way!!
Well, my blog is boring, but that is just me. I eat, sleep, breathe fragrance oils ... didn't think you'd want hear about all that tho?

Strange Sounds from the Computer
So, I am sitting at my desk late yesterday afternoon working on postage when my computer starts humming and singing it's own little song.... WHAT? I checked to make sure that I hadn't left a CD in the drive ... nope, that wasn't the problem.
Then the light went on! BING! BING! BING!
Hairballs! So, I dragged out the hard drive & the vaccuum cleaner & canned air ... yep, that was the problem! Why do I always forget to dust the computer??? Glad it fussed at me and told me to CLEAN ME NOW!
This morning as I am checking emails ... I glance down to my right and find Fiona sitting comfortable on top of the computer. Hmmmm.... wonder how those hairballs found their way down there???
Life in this household is a riot when these critters get to ripping & running! NEVER a dull moment ... not even at 3am when my little love, Lash-Baby, decides I need kisses all over the face ... and I mean WET, SLOPPY kisses from this kitten!

Tuesday ~ fast round trip to Louisiana ..ha, nothing fast about 4hrs one way, but we did it! Had a great time visiting with Steph & her family. I seriously tried to steal her beautiful flame-point himalayan kitty ...stuffed him under my tank top & everything, but alas .. his furry fluffy tail stuck out and I was busted. LOL
As you read in the blog yesterday ...we didn't come home empty-handed ...new dog along with the cat we went to rescue for a friend of mine. :)
Thursday ~ went to an Open House at Ciao Bella Medical Day Spa & Salon ~ that was fun to meet & greet the staff. All the ladies are wonderful & I cannot wait to have something ...not sure what... but something done to my face or lips or eyes, lol. Besides a FULL BODY MASSAGE! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.......'nuff said.
Friday ~ Motely Crue came to The Woodlands, Texas!! We stood in linve over 45 mins to get in ...it's so different than back in the 80s & 90s ... so high-tech with their metal detectors & junk! Takes more time to get thru the gates. We have a great time ~ my throat is a little sore this morning & my legs are achy, but other than I am good! Yes, I love Motley Crue even if they are a bunch of crude guys, once a Metal Lover always a Metal Lover!!!!!!
So, it's Saturday ~ besides working a bit in the shop ~ we aren't doing too much. Thinking about going to the lake later this afternoon and hunt arrowheads. CHEAP & FREE entertainment ~ you can't beat that!
I'll sign off for now ... have a great weekend!

Our Newest Furbaby Addition
For those of you that know me ... you know that I am a pet-crazed individual ... cats are the number one pet, but my Mini Schnauzer is like my child. :)
Ahhhhh..... big news! Drumroll please!!! We made a quick day trip to visit my bestest friend in Louisiana on Tuesday. She's been telling me about her backyard neighbor's little white schnauzer girl ... her neighbor's husband hates the dog Too yippy, too chewy, too much puppy is all --- we all KNOW that these babies need lots of stimulating activity!
We went next door to visit her pup, she was on a leash in the HEAT, rag-a-muffin, srsly did not look like a schnauzer. She looks like a malti-poo. Sweet girl, full of energy, but no one to take the time out to play. (Neighbor was just diagnosed with lupus so she isn't up to the task.)
Well, we get back to my friend's house & her neighbor calls ... if I want the dog, I can have her - FREE. So, I am now the proud owner of mini white schnauzer named PIXIE. Bless her heart, her eyes are so madded and gunky.
Her tail is docked, her ears are cropped, and her birthday is September 10th - she will be 1 yr old. She was perfect on the way home - long drive back - 4 hrs!
She went to the groomer's and got a professional clean-up ... I believe she has ear mites, but I am scheduling a vet appt for this morning so I can get her on heartworm meds and make sure she is A-Okay.
Sorry, this post is like a mini novel ... pics of the new girl are posted.
She looks completely different from when we brought her home! She looks like a schnauzer and NOT a sheep dog, lol
btw, Roxie & Jagger LOVE her --- those two babies are so good-natured! They accepted her right away.
Thanks for reading this ...

Where is Day-Star?
So, just where is Day-Star???
I thought that I would share a few photos of our "yards" if you want to call it that, lol. We are on 10 acres of land and it is very hard to "maintain" other than brush-hogging it with the tractor. But, anyhoo ... here are a few photos with descriptive captions to show you what I see everyday. I love it out here in the woods!!

Happy Monday!
Happy Monday!
So many plans already made for this week and it's only Monday! Today is MAJOR house-cleaning! My dear hubby has been home for the past month ... he is an absolute slob! I was just going to wait him out till he leaves next Monday for a job, but alas, I cannot. I cannot handle the mess ANY LONGER. So WE (yes, I said WE) are going to get this house is order TODAY! Wish US luck ... or rather wish HUBBY luck that I do not go "Drill Sergeant" on him. ;-)
Tuesday is a quick day trip over to Louisiana to visit my bestest friend. It's a 4 hr trip one-way, but we are getting out of here very early and will be back late Tuesday evening. Orders placed over the weekend and Monday will be out TODAY so don't fret --- I'm not abandoning ship. :)
Well, I must get on with my walk on the treadmill --- going to get 2 miles in this morning so I will be ready to clean house! :) Started a new book ... Laurell K. Hamilton's "Merry Gentry" series Book One so that will keep me occupied as I walk.
Have a great day!

Sitting here at my computer with a fat cat, Fiona, in my lap. This girl loves to "lick, lick, BITE" my arm as I try to type. Heck, here she goes again ..... Love bites stink, but I wuv this silly girl. Her photo is posted on the blog ... :)
Went to buy groceries today - what a terrible day & time to do that!! Mid-morning on a Saturday and the FIRST of the month! Everyone was out and in the store!
Whew, I managed to get what I needed, but still forgot the trash bags, LOL.
Our county is small and where I live we do not have local trash pick up. We have two dump locations that we take our trash to ... I betcha those men at the dump think that I am one "trashy" girl because I have so much trash to take out every few days. With as many cats that I have comes a lot of poo ... that mean a lot of poopie litter to clean out ... along with one caged rabbit.
I really wish we had a recyling facility close, but in the boon-docks that I am, no such luck. However I do believe the recycle paper & cardboard ... that's good to know, but I use old newspaper for packaging as long as I can get my hands on it!
I am working on our newsletter for August announcements. We have two NEW fragrances coming out plus our tried & true Fall & Holiday favorites from last year. We are not adding too many fall & holiday scents this year since so many of our day-to-day fragrances we carry year round will work just as great for the upcoming season.
I'm having a rather "lazy" Saturday afternoon ... thinking about starting a new book. So many books ... so little time!! Just read Patricia Briggs "Mercy Thompson" series ... cannot wait for another one to come out! I need to start her "Alpha & Omega" series now. I never really thought that I would like the paranormal genre, but I really do! It's fantasy ... nothing wrong with that ... I think that is what held me back for a bit, but I am happy to have crossed over into this new genre.
I guess I've rambled enough ... my son just walked outside so I will do the same ... think I'll go pester my mom, lol. It's hot as Hades here so I won't be outside too long!!
