what I wore wednesday

I’m totally posting this late, and I was afraid that I was not going to be able to link up, and then I wasn’t going to even bother to do the post, and then I’d have all these pictures of me wearing cute clothes. (I actually thought about saving them and plugging them in on days when I sit in jammies all day and fib!) but, fortunately, the link up is still open and I’m posting! besides, I had to follow up last week’s cliff-hanger post about my haircut!

wiww

wednesday:011

  • top: thrifted
  • jeans: gap via thrift store
  • jewelry: handmedown from my mother.
  • haircut: heck yeah!

this is a great outfit for showing off one’s new hair style! 012

it’s also great for going out to dinner with your family and just generally looking really good in your new hair style! ;)

thursday:   013

  • top: old navy via handmedown
  • capris: same old gap via thrift store via personal alteration
  • jewelry: no idea!065

this outfit works for taking your son to the junior high so he can stand next to you in the picture line and asb card buying line, and the other line, and that other line, all while acting very aloof… you can also attend meet the teacher night at your daughter’s school. and lest I forget, this outfit works great for painstakingly (and awkwardly) attempting to style ones new haircut for the first time…

friday:       009 - Copy

  • top: target via thrift store
  • embellished capris: gap via thrift store
  • jade necklace: family heirloom
  • brown mary janes: born (love these shoes. LOVE.)

I’m sure this outfit is good for something, I just can’t remember what. so, I’ve always had a love affair with these capris. unfortunately, that means they’re really old. there were times (after babies) that they didn’t fit me, which was depressing. I still really like them, but I’ve had them for at least 10 years and I didn’t purchase them new, and if you know anything at all about the way pants fit now vs. the way they used to fit you know that the cut of the whole butt/rise/waist/hip area is quite a bit different. I’m trying to decide if I still like them enough to keep them. after wearing them on friday, I think I had decided that it was time for them to go. but now I’m looking at the picture and I’m thinking it’s not so bad… opinions? advice? leave a comment.

saturday:   060

okay, clearly this is not a high fashion day, but my clothes were functional! oldest jeans and a ratty t-shirt I’ve had forever are PERFECT for transforming your youngest son’s room from brown to blue!

sunday:      021

this is what I wore to church.

  • top: thrifted
  • skirt: ross
  • necklace: can’t remember
  • shoes: payless

these are my super cheap shoes that I wore when I got married! I love this skirt, and I love even more that it fits me! there was awhile where I couldn’t wear it. please excuse the over-stuffed laundry basket, the random desk chair, and the dog head!

monday:    IMG_20120903_200326

another painting day… here, I’m sporting a freebie shirt from a mariners game giveaway and a pair of dave’s old boxers. you can’t argue with that kind of fashion! (do you like the subliminal messages I’m painting into my daughter’s wall? we did that in the other room, too!)

tuesday:    023

  • top: forever 21 via thrift store
  • jeans: handmedown
  • flip flops: kohls

so… I have always LOVEd this top. It’s seriously SO cute. but I’m not so much loving the way it looks on me here… it looks kinda… well… maternity. and that’s not really the look I’m going for, given that I’m not pregnant! and the last thing someone who isn’t pregnant wants is someone to think they look like they are! opinions? it might be time for this one to go.

    Lots of great looks! You have been busy! I love your subliminal messages. You will have to let us know how they worked.

    Great outfits! I do agree with you on the last look. It is so cute and it does also look maternity-ish. Do you sew or know someone who does? They could rework it for you. Cut some length (also where the width is) and hem it shorter. Use the scraps to make a super cute headband to go with it. In a word - "upcycle!"

vomit phobia

most people who know me relatively well are aware of my ridiculous fear of vomit. so essentially, the last year or so has been the embodiment of my worst nightmare. we have now embarked on stomach flu episode 4 of the last 13 months. is that not ridiculous? is that not excessive? what's the deal? should i be concerned? or maybe i'm just paying my dues. shane never had the stomach flu until he was 6, but now we've got it all the time. since may last year, he's now had it 3 times. between january and november of last year, layla had it 3 times, and now we're just waiting to see when she's going to come down with this latest strain. WHAT THE HECK! i never had it this often as a kid. maybe i was just lucky. i don't know. is this normal? how many times can you get this stuff in a certain amount of time before you should think that something is wrong? and how can you prevent it, if at all? i don't really think we have weak immune systems. th

hello again

my mom actually complained the other day about my lack of posts lately. REALLY. i told her that i’d had nothing to write about. at any rate, here’s my update for now, in relation to recent things. we did decide to trick or treat. it was fun. shane’s mario costume actually came together pretty well, thanks to a little help from my friends. layla’s flower costume also happened, barely, also with a little help from my friends. (are you detecting a theme here?) micah’s monkey costume was borrowed from a friend. (for some reason, i have a beatles song wandering through my head right now, do you?) here they are:   as i’m writing this, it’s reminding me of just how blessed i am to be a part of this community, family, neighborhood, etc. let me expound that part about a little help from my friends: we’ll start with shane. he got the idea to dress up as mario after his friend, sean, mentioned that he was going to be luigi. so i chatted w/ trudy about what she’d gathered so far. she mentioned a g

how to make a bad situation worse:

around 7:30 on thursday evening, we had a situation like this: not a good scenario. about 2 hours later, we were in this situation: awesome, right? so how do we get from point A to point B? like this: see the awesome metal ‘edge of death’ on that bowl? yeah. that’s the weapon. in my effort to speedily get the bowl under layla’s face, I actually HIT her in the face with it, and the edge SLICED her upper lip open. yup. right open. it was NOT awesome. I freaked out, of course. she’s still in the middle of feeling terrible. dave was not home yet from a meeting. yeah. mom is majorly freaking out. fortunately, dave walked in the door just as I was sending the “GET HOME NOW!” text. it wasn’t really bleeding a ton, but it was obvious that this was not a band-aid situation. so I called my dad to come and stay with the boys while we took her in to the ER. it’s very nice to have an older kid, so we didn’t have to wait for him to get there before we could leave. but not knowing how long it

homemaking 101... ponderings, ramblings... the usual.

so i've been analyzing lately (because that's what i do) why i get so frustrated with myself, my shortcomings in the areas of housekeeping and organization, creativity, cooking, etc. it would seem that i'm trying to live up to the expectations of june cleaver, or my grandmother, or something equally unrealistic. no, i don't expect to push the vacuum and baste a turkey in heels and pearls, (besides, i have the roomba , remember?), but i do expect more of myself than i have been giving currently. why? i've been doing what i usually do when i have an issue i want to know more about; i check out every book the library has on the subject (organization problems anyone?). there are a LOT of books out there written by homemakers, for homemakers with a lot of different slants on the whole subject. interestingly enough, the view that disturbs me the most is not the one that suggests that God has decreed it so that women have no other calling than to be wives and mothers (alt

what to eat?

warning: this may turn into a rant. I’m confused. I don’t know what to eat! I know, that sounds really stupid. but honestly, I’m so confused right now about the whole what to eat thing. I’m not an idiot, and I’m certainly not ignorant as to nutrition concepts and the science of how the body uses food. and yet, I am so confused. there is so much conflicting information out there as to what is actually good for you . some say no carbs, some say no sugar, some say no red meat, some say no dairy, some say no eggs, some say no grains, some say no alcohol, some say no caffeine, etc. etc. etc. so obviously, you can’t ascribe to all of that or you would eat NOTHING. I also know that cutting out carbs is the most idiotic thing you can do. your body needs carbs to function. wonder bread, however, is not a good source of the carbs your body would prefer.  as far as red meat goes. hello, protein and iron! but hard to digest. a lot of red meat puts a lot of wear and tear on your digestive sy
