You guys, I spent more on this dress that I normally would (50 bucks!), but it just makes me so happy! Also, I’ve worn it 4 times in a week. Is that wrong? Ha ha! I got it while I was attending the Texas Style Council back in March, but it’s just been warm enough now to finally wear it and now I don’t want to take it off. Do you have any items like this?

Please excuse my lack of make-up. I just feel like when you get a tan, you don’t need any! Do you feel like this? I am feeling like I’m going to wear less (possibly no) make-up for a little here. My face could use the break and I just like a very natural look during the summer. It makes me feel more like a hippy. 🙂

Hello Sunshine! I’m back. I got a tiny bit burned and now I’m peeling. But I don’t care. I’m tan and happy and I have two Coach bags. 🙂 I also have some photos to show you from last week, since I didn’t do much last week. But this is what I wore on our drive home. It was so comfortable and the perfect thing. I always wear jeans, but then my legs get so hot in the sun so I tried the dress approach and it totally worked. So we came home and took pictures in front of our garden where we have some serious strawberries growing and turning red! Yippee! Can’t wait to eat them!

So I’ve been thinking about going back to work and I decided that I’m just not ready to yet. I mean, I didn’t realize how much I needed that break! So, I’m still going to be posting (cause I can’t leave you hanging! We’re too good of friends for me to do that!), but I am going to disconnect from Twitter, Facebook, and stuff. I feel bad, I’ve hardly commented on anybody’s blogs (sorry!), but I’ve really needed the mental break from the computer and all. And I’m at a place in my life where I can actually do it. So, I’m gonna take advantage of it. Once I have babies, this will no longer be an option, ha ha!
