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 #201: Fit for an "it"

I always knew that I would want to find out the gender of my babies before they were born - that is just my jam.  Mostly I wanted to find out because I know my weird self and if I bonded with said baby for nine months thinking "it" was a boy and then instead "it" was a she, I knew it would mess with my mind.  Now having actually been pregnant, maybe that wouldn't be the case because I clearly didn't know Dean was a boy until 20 weeks, but I also loved being able to talk to him the rest of the pregnancy and call him by his name. All of that to say, I always thought I would want to create and elaborate, gender specific nursery, until we renovated two houses and I painted more walls than I care to remember.  So one night before we knew Dean was a Dean, I was laying in bed and made the declaration that our nursery would be fairly gender neutral.  We knew we would always want to use that room for the nursery because it is across the hall from our room and the s...
