Conversation #74: It's Friday = Jeans Day

Generally, my office is business casual all the time (even Fridays), but for the next few weeks we get to wear jeans if we donated to United Way.  I like United Way so it is a win/win.  I actually took Wednesday off and yesterday because I was just too sick to get out of bed.  These allergies are really getting me down.  My face hurt so bad from the sinus pressure that I couldn't fall alseep.  It is also making my teeth ache (my new dentist explained that the root of your teeth go up into your sinuses so that is why they ache sometimes when you have sinus pressure). 

Therefore, I am VERY casual today, but I still feel good.  Here is the outfit (straight from the awesome bathroom at work - this is the room for nursing mothers per the new healthcare law).  However,  I am not a nursing mother before you get any ideas - haha!

Shirt: Lands' End Canvas - $8.99 on sale
Jeans: Gap Outlet - $10 (a long time ago)
Shoes: DSW - $32 (on sale and shipped )
Necklace: Forever21 - $?, cheap
Watch: Anne Klein, ebay, $34

I love these clogs, but they are sort of dangerous.  These are the shoes I was wearing when I rendered my foot useless during the great plumbing leak of 2011.  They were the first time I was wearing them so hopefully it was just a breaking in thing.  They are super comfortable as long as I don't twist my foot in them.

I also just noticed how dark my clothes are today.  I usually like more of a contrast, but I do think it is sort of slimming (plus the lighting in there with my phone isn't the best).  No worries - I won't be wearing all black from now on.  That is for my sister - love you sis!  (I don't even think she reads my blog anymore, but it's cool because we talk on the phone all the time) 

Okay, well I better go get some water before I cough up a lung.  Have a lovely weekend, BF's!

Conversation #204: My Jesus...

Oh Facebook and social media of all kinds...we have a love hate/relationship.  Lately, these days, I feel it is more hate only because I allow myself to be depressed by things I see.  I recently told someone the other day that I had lost faith in humanity, and then it hit me, that is exactly where I should be.  We are a fallen people in a fallen world, and I should have NO faith in humanity.  Why did that take me 30 years to figure out? So there has been a lot of political/social stuff swirling around, and division among Christians, and I hate it.  Like I said, I have no faith in humanity and realizing that was a good reminder it should ALL be in the Lord.  Even though there are definitely things going on in this world that reject the truth of the Gospel, Jesus, the thing that scares me the most these days is the phrase I alluded to in the title: "my Jesus wouldn't believe this" or "I can't follow a God that would say that" or "I just don't believ...

A Conversation about Absenteeism

Wow!  It has been too long.  I have still kept up on reading everyone’s blogs, but commenting and writing have been out the window for me.  I have thought often about blog topics, and I’ll try to get back on regular posts tomorrow. Basically, the last few weeks have been full of preparing for this past Saturday.  What was this past Saturday, you may ask?  My incredibly intelligent and amazing husband graduated from law school!!!!!!!!!  I can hardly contain my excitement.  I am proud beyond words, and now we just have one last hurdle: the bar exam.  I know the next two and half months will still be full of study, but it still doesn’t squash my excitement of no more late night classes, missed parties, or tension filled finals weeks.  We are done!  I only say “we” because it is definitely a path that affects both the student and family, but trust me, the hubby did ALL the work!  Needless to say though, we had lots of family in town...

Conversation #205: About Me

Hello! I have no idea how often I will escape to this place, but since I recently added this ol' blog address to my Instagram Profile, I thought maybe I should dust her off and welcome any new readers. I have so many thoughts rolling around in my head CONSTANTLY that maybe this would be a good spot again to release them, and keep me from online shopping too much during my lunch break ;)  I hear a faint AMEN from my husband. Anyway, the title of my blog may lead people to make snap judgments about me or my beliefs, which is unfortunate, but also the society we live in at the moment.  First, it created a sort of catchy blog name, and I liked it.  And, yes, I am a conservative, but that label has sooooo many different meanings depending on what media outlet you last listened to so I thought maybe I would use this post to re-introduce myself to old friends and share a bit about how I have grown in the last few years. I am Christian, Jesus Follower, Believer, Daughte...
