Fashion Friday: Edition the pollen might be killing me

Diary, Fashion

I do not mean to be overly dramatic (Yes I do) but the oak pollen might be killing me. Everything outside is yellow. And I normally don't have bad allergies but this seems to be a banner year. If you need me, I'll be here taking my Zyrtec. Also, I have to give a special thank you to Dr. Brandt no more baggage eye de-puffing gel that I got in my spring Fab Fit Fun box. It is the sole reason I'm Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition so I ended up in a few dressing rooms

Diary, Fashion

Well. After last week's Fashion Friday, I really had no plan to feature any more pictures of me wearing clothes I feature even though you were so sweet about my lack of fashion blogger skills and poses. But then I went to lunch with a friend on Wednesday and needed to kill about an hour before I picked Caroline up early from school for a doctor's appointment. And I didn't want to go home Read More

Thursday Things: Edition 6

Another day, Diary

I missed Thursday things last week because of Spring Break, but look what's back. Here are a few things you might want to know about: 1. John Mayer singing How Great Thou Art If you listen to the Big Boo Cast, you might remember that we had Erin Moon as our guest and discussed John Mayer at length. Specifically, that we all feel he is in search of the meaning of life. So I was Read More

We painted a wall and it leaved me tired (pun intended)

Another day

Well, we had a nice Spring Break. I'm only sad that it didn't last about a week or six longer. Caroline and I went to Austin to spend the night and shop on Sunday and Monday and then we had big plans to paint her room the rest of the week. (Side note just because many of you have asked: The MRI on her foot showed that it's not a stress fracture, but she did manage to bruise every single bone Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition the end of Spring Break

Fashion

Well, I'm not sure how this week went so fast, but I think some of it had to do with the fact that we spent three days painting Caroline's bedroom. I put up a picture of it last night on Instagram, but I'll write a post about it next week after I've recovered. And now we're leaving today to spend the weekend in College Station with Gulley and Jackson at Honey and Big's house and to watch a Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s Spring Break

Diary, Fashion

That's right. As of the end of school today we are officially kicking off Spring Break 2019. I'm going to start it off by heating up heavily processed nacho cheese in the high school stadium concession stand as I work my shift before the soccer game. It's really all I dreamed Spring Break would be once I was an adult. Robert Earl Keen was right, "The road goes on forever and the party and the Read More

Thursday Things, Edition 5

Another day

Spring Break officially starts for us on Friday and we are limping to the finish line. I supposed it's because January and February were each about 164 days long and that just begins to wear on a person. Then I had to take Caroline to the doctor yesterday because we think she may have a stress fracture in her foot and now we're going to get an MRI later today to try to figure out what's going on.
