Miscellaneous

jacket – J. Crew, shirt – Crew Cuts, scarf – J. Crew, pants – Madewell, shoes – Steven by Steve Madden 



To do list:

fold two loads of laundry 
get to the grocery store
clean out my purse
walk Kramer
catch up on: The Bachelor
The bad and the good:
The bad,
My
lip bleeding in the the grocery store and having no idea until I get
back to the car and see red smeared all over my lips. Having to keep
telling my dog to stop licking his behind {cause I’m sure you all wanted
to know that}. Taking a shower then getting out 20 mins later only to
realize I have not done anything but stand there.
The good,
Although
my lips were covered with blood, the checkout lady at the grocery store
still managed to tell me “What pretty brown eyes you have”, made my
day!
Going out to dinner with Camden and having a mini date night.  
Coming home to a clean house with a pleasant scent in the air. 
Seeing the rain slowly turn in to snow and watching everything get dusted with white!
Hope you all have a marvelous Tuesday!

a weekend of discoveries

January 23, 2012

Miscellaneous

As far as lazy weekends go, this one took the cake {at least for Kramer’s and mine!} Saturday I sadly didn’t change out of my pj’s the entire day. However this did give me some time to do some much needed cleaning and a chance to find lost treasures. This included an un-opened Christmas package and much more importantly some old photographs of my Grandmothers. The lady on the left is my Great Great Grandmother {not living}, mother to my Great Grandmother who just turned 109 in December {and is still living}. The lovely lady on the right is my Grandma who just turned 80 this past week {also living}. This picture was taken when she was 17 years old. I think she looks so elegant for someone so young. I will be lucky if I one day have as many wonderful stories told about me as their adventurous lives have told about them. I love old photographs, they tell many stories and have so much history behind them. One can’t help to treasure them, along with the people they hold locked in time. So although I can’t say I got much accomplished, I can say not all was lost. You never know what you will find stuffed away in the back of a dusty closet. {especially if you are as forgetful as me}

Kramer spent his weekend curled up by the fire. He has found much joy from its warmth since his hair cut. Camden spent his working on Saturday and lazy with us on Sunday {although he did drag us out from our cave for a much needed walk in the sunshine.}
-How were your weekends?

lipstick & glasses

January 20, 2012

Miscellaneous

I remember being young and my parents would wear huge round glasses, except for back then they were “so out of style”. When I got my first pair of glasses they were tiny little rectangles {I didn’t want to be dated and feel nerdy in big round ones}. Well, I guess the jokes on me with my oversized glasses and of course bright pink lipstick. It’s like a retro flashback, and I love it! I am obsessed with oversized glasses {I have bought 3 in the last six months} and of course lipstick. I have always been obsessed with shiny lips. When I was really young I would fall asleep with mounds of Chapstick in my hands with flavors like kiwi and Dr. Pepper. Not too much has changed from my yonder years but instead of kiwi, I am in love with Nars Heat Wave and Maybelline Pink Me Up. One day I’m sure my kids will make fun of me for my bright lips and big specs, and so the cycle continues.
