Day 18 Swings!

by //

Today was pretty much a good day for me. I got to swing (which I’ve decided is one of my all time favorite things to do), I had a fresh tomato on my sandwich at lunch, we ate the first cucumber from our garden, I got the plaid phone cover I ordered for my new phone AND the InStyle Makeover magazine in the mail, and I had some Breyers ice cream on top of a brownie! Doesn’t that sound like an amazing day? Well, it was. Oh, I forgot to say that I got in a good nap and re-watched The Bachelorette, Men Tell All with my mom. And my mother-in-law bought us dinner. Wow! Busy day!

So, what have you been up to? Hope you’ve had a good day too.

And, did you know it’s Jill’s (from The Good Life For Less) birthday? I think she’s pretty much amazing. Her blog is adorable, she’s adorable, and she manages all this with 2 kids and a husband! I want to be her when I grow up!

Did I mention that since my middle name is Rose that I love Roses? I have a friend whose middle name is also Rose and we always show each other our rose things. She just got a pair of Docs with roses all over them!

Day 17

It’s REALLY hot outside, but I must admit that I put a sweatshirt on over this outfit while working this morning! Eek! Bob yelled at me and told me that it is too expensive for me to be wearing long pants and a sweatshirt in the summer. Then I realized he was telling me that we have the air up too high and we should just turn the air up (down?) if I’m too cold. That was a ridiculous way of saying it.

Day 16 Working From Home

by //

Most days we just lay around the castle . . .

Ok, it’s not a castle. Just our first home. But sometimes I go nowhere all day! Today I was going stir crazy and wanted to go somewhere, so I picked up my mom and we drove to the humane society. I want a dog so bad! But I’m kind of picky about what I want, so I’m not sure when I’ll get it. Ah well.

This belt I bought for Bob, but it was too small on him, so I kept it for myself. I like the rugged look. My friend Tracy gets a lot of her accessories from the men’s side of H&M! Have you looked at their accessories? They’re very feminine actually. Takes a special guy to pull off some of those looks!
