today was my first day back to work since getting over the little bug i had. camden is back from his camping trip that i totally spaced to mention he was on. things are slowly getting back to normal, thank goodness!

one of my favorite things i have seen this year for fall arrived in the mail today. it’s an army jacket with a sweater back, yes . . the one i’m wearing above. i was so excited when it came. it was one of those, you order it, it doesn’t come when you expect it to, then when you check the order status . .  it’s unexpectedly backordered? don’t you just hate that?

since going through my clothes for the garage sale and seeing how many things i have purchased that i’m so willing to get rid of, i have decided to try and be more careful about the items i decide to buy, making sure i will want to have them for a long time. like longer than a year or two long time. i feel i have so many clothes but i still go back to the same handful of outfits which just feels so wasteful to me, camden too. – and we all know camden in all his glory is the absolute anti-waster. you should see him twisting off lightbulbs around the house, ones he thinks we don’t need to use. he likes to live in the dark he does . . .

what i wore ~ jacket: anthropologie // shirt: husbands t-shirt // jeans: thrifted // shoes: paisley pomegranate  

sick with the flu

i spent the entire weekend sick with the flu, which by the way, couldn’t have come at a worse time considering the overwhelming amount of things which need to get done around here. our house, and lives for that matter, are in utter chaos, nothing seems to be where it goes. with no future home locked in place and half our current home packed in boxes, it often times seems hard to stay positive and focused on the end result. you could say we are in a bit of a funk. on the positive side of things, kramer has been such good dog the past few days while i have been, for a lack of a better term, a bump on a log. he will lay quietly on the bed or couch for hours without complaining or crying for play time, which let me tell you, has been extraordinarily nice. we are hoping to figure this house thing out very soon and it may work out that we are able to stay in our current place for an extra month. for now all i can think about is sleep, ahh sleep . .  so please excuse my short update as i hit the sack and head off to soak up some sweet slumber. i hope all your weekends were at least slightly better than mine. let’s hope for a happy and healthy monday. xo
