Table in Green with the Retirement Blahs!

I need advise everyone! 
 How do I get out of the retirement 
"Blahs" 
I am calling it. 

Here is what is going on:

1. Sleeping doesn't come easy

2. No real energy

3. Task don't get completed

4. Getting dressed is now overrated

OOPS! this kind of sounds like Depression laziness.

OK got to get myself in gear
 I have two function here at 
my house in about two weeks. 

Meals to plan for 20 or more at each function. 

I have been keeping up on checking out all the wonderful blogs and tablescapes. 

Telling myself I am getting ideas 
for my tables and I have decided , 
that is a good thing.

Looking back on my past post 
found a table that I posted and 
remembering how

 I always worked a full day and 
then got my table ready to post.

Below is my table that  I threw  put together a while back when I had sold my dining table.

 Guess I better get myself on a 
schedule and stick to it.

This is one of my unfinished task. The Polka Dots make me smile.

Thanks for stopping by y'all.

WHITE WITH A LITTLE COLOR

I made it! 
 I have been gone for awhile but could not let this Challenge go by.
At Cuisine Kathleen's
 Let Dish Wednesday her Challenge

 was a table using only white dishes and one other color as an accent.

 She knows how to CHALLENGE us.

 I seemed to always want to use a lot of  color on my tables so this was a BIG challenge for me.

The big decision was what accent color would I use

????????????

orange-red--aqua--yellow

Can you guess which one won?

Well aqua won out. A few months ago I found aqua napkins at HG (love that store)

So now do I have anything else, so the hunt was on.

I decided to shop the house.

Complete Setting(oops the decanter really is the right color I thought)

Table for Two

Only new purchase beach chair

Had to light the candles

I hope I followed the rules that Kathleen set for us. I did have fun shopping the house and trying to only use White & Aqua. 

Where did it come from:

Charges: Pier 1

Plates: Oneida/Wicker--Goodwill

Fish Bowls: Hobby Lobby

Cake Stand, Clear centerpiece, Milk Glass glasses,Cup & saucer, flatware,--Thrifty Store finds (not all at one time)

Creamer & Sugar: Belong to my sweet MIL

Candle holders: Birthday gift from the daughter

Beach chair: Dollar General (on Monday)

Clear Crystal: Wedding 

So there you have it I only spent $3.50 and it think I did it.

Oh I have to add one more picture you find the change give me a 

YOU BE THE JUDGE!
