So the challenge this month is pattern mixing. …

When Boats Attack

Sorry this is so late poodles.  We had a boat emergency. See the water here in Alexandria is so super de duper high that the boat lifts can’t even lift the boats out of the water.  So, since the boat lift we have was kinda still in the water, and the waves were large enough…

Super Awesome Thrifting

I don’t know what it is about the Midwest but thrifting here is awesome pawsome. I used pawsome instead of possum because possum makes me thing of possums and those things are gross and not awesome at all. Here is my latest haul. Super colorful scarf, 2 sets of non pierced earrings, and a super…

Art in the Park

Sorry for the lack of posting.  My computer died a harsh death and Husband’s computer and my camera can’t play nice.  So we had to perform some technology CPR.  Like I’ve stated before, this lil town has some serious culture.  Including a yearly art show hosted by the city park.  Husband and I went this…

I'm on a boat!

All we did this weekend was boat around the lakes. We are incredibly spoiled. The only thing going through my head was this song: **Disclaimer: this is a swear heavy song… like F bombs all over the place.  Watch at your own risk** The Lonely Island may be the best thing ever.  Its my boating…

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Calling this 30 for 30

Its ovah. I made it half way.  And now I’m quitting.  Everyone else is done. Also, I did not pick my 30 items wisely.  6 shirts and like 4 dresses?  How dumb was that?!  I put 2 sweaters in there too.  Cuz the super sauna weather in Houston calls for a cardigan.  Idiot.  So I’m…

Day 15 of 30: Rainy Pool Day

I’d like to point out that most everyone doing this challenge is done. Not me.  I”m a total underachiever. Half way baby.  Good enough for me. So we had a super de duper busy weekend.  One of our friends had a baby and said baby was being baptized.  Which, of course, calls for a weekend…

Day 14 of 30: Minnesota Bound 2.0

I wore this outfit to pick Husband up from the airport. I always dress nice in hopes he’ll want to go out to eat or go see a movie.  What he usually wants to do is grab some Jimmy Johns and go home.  Lame. But I did talk him into getting pizza for dinner. Small…
