HIIIIIIII!!!!!! |
Hey, look what I can do! I can BLOG! Or something.
You guys are so awesome. Thank you SO much for all of the very, very sweet comments on my last post, the Facebook messages, the Tweets, the emails...it means a lot to know you've missed me {almost} as much as I've missed you!
So let's get caught up again, shall we? Hm...I'm still working. Still a single mom. Still not independently wealthy (stupid lotto...). Still like to play dress up. That about sums it up. My daughter and I have started looking to buy a house, there's some fun news. Let's see if it takes us half a decade or not. I'm hoping not.
My girl has been doing FABULOUSLY in VPK this year. I can't believe it's already time to get her registered for Kindergarten. We want to get her into a charter school nearby, so this morning was spent getting everything done to apply there. Now we just have to wait a couple of MONTHS (seriously?!) to hear if she's in or not. That seems too long.
Oh wait, this is supposed to be a style blog, right? Well...I did wear this outfit today. I know it's winter and all, but guys, I live in Florida. It's almost 80 degrees today. This sweater is perfect because it's cool and breezy and short-sleeved, but it's seasonally appropriate too. In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit that the heels came off for flip flops later only because I got my toenails painted.
Now my girl is napping (i.e. lying in her bed, talking and singing to herself and claiming she isn't sleepy), I'm having a beer and blogging, and tonight will be dance class then going to Perkins to visit her favorite server because they share the same name.
So there you have it, my life in a nutshell. Exciting, no?
My hope is to be able to post a couple times a week. I'm not going to stress if I can't though. Real life has to come first. I opened a WordPress account too, but I think importing will be way too much for me so I might just start blogging from there and ask you all to subscribe to that feed instead. Be on the lookout for that.
Hope you're having a fabulous Friday and that you have an exciting weekend planned! Mine includes shopping for Valentines for my daughter to hand out. I live on the edge, y'all.
Today's outfit:
Purple Sweater: Kohl's
Black Tank: Target
Jeans: Salvation Army
Leopard Belt: Wal-Mart
Heels: Rack Room
Wow, this makes me look pregnant. I assure you, I most definitely am NOT. I need to lay off the chocolate, maybe. Geez. |
Oh, FINE. Forget to mention that you've met Betsy the Chicken and that I'm here. That's fine. ;) Kidding. Love you.
ReplyDeleteShoulda had sparklier boobs
I did meet Betsy the Chicken. She's quite the diva in all her ruffled feather glory.
DeleteAnd my boobs are just fine, thankyouverymuch. Take me out for sushi and I'll have sparkly boobs. Heh.

Delete80 degrees!! It's sunny in Oregon, but boy oh boy, it's cold. You look great, Mel! Life comes first, indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks love! It's been rainy here today. But I think I'd prefer that over cold. I'm such a wimp. :)
DeleteHeeeey, girl! Happy to "see" you. Love your leopard print belt. Also the jeans are very different from what I remember from you! This weather has been really warm.
ReplyDeleteHi Megan! I've missed you! Yeah the jeans are a little different. I'm not sure about them yet but they were priced right, so there ya go. :)
DeleteWelcome back!! You look amazing as usual. It's great to see you posting again.
ReplyDeleteAh, it's been so warm here in GA that I haven't needed to do ANY winter clothes shopping. It's nice for my wallet, but now that spring has arrived in stores I am dying to go shopping!
