Conversation #133: You say it's your birthday

Yep, today is the day.  I turned 27 at 6:15 this morning (at least I think that was what time I was born). I realized this morning when I woke up on the couch because yes, I have a cold AGAIN, that this is the second birthday in a row I am sick.  Last year it was a migraine, and that was the start of my migraine treatment.  The good news: I only get migraines one week a month now versus everyday.  Want to guess what time of the month it is?  Yep, during Aunt Flo's visit, and I get to enjoy that right now as well!  I'm such a lucky girl.

Actually, I am.  I have a husband who loves me (although he could be a little more sympathetic to sickness, he just thinks everyone should suck it up and deal with it).  I love my family so much (all of them, I am blessed with awesome in-laws too).  I have a great job, and I'm making more and more friendships as the days go by.  I guess this pesky cold is just the least of my problems, but I still wouldn't mind it leaving so I could breathe freely again.  I feel bad for my coworkers who have to listen to my nose-blowing all day.

Due to the whole not feeling well thing, I got off a day on the fashion challenges.  Yesterday was try a trend, but really we are just all lucky I got up and put clothes on before going to work.  Today was "channel someone..." and I had a great outfit planned, especially for my bday, but since it is that time of the month I decided the idea of wearing tights was just too horrible.  Therefore, today I look sort of sloppy (still didn't get a ton of sleep last night) but I did the trend of buttons down the back.  I was afraid my coworkers would all give me a hard time and tell me my clothes were on backwards, but so far so good!  (Also, sorry the pics are little blurry and my face looks weird - I blame it on the stuff filling up my sinuses)


Outfit breakdown:
Sweater, Ann Taylor LOFT, $20
Brown Trousers, NY and Co., $20 ?
Heeled oxfords, Alfani via ebay, $17
Necklace, Coldwater Creek, $Free (had a gift card from doing market research, not sure I have mentioned that before)

A Conversation about Babies

(Picture from here .) I think everyone I know has just had a baby, is going to have a baby, or wants to have a baby! Is there something wrong with me? I want children, with my whole heart. I really look forward to being a mom someday and more and more I hope to be able to stay home with my children. The thing is, I can wait right now. I don’t have baby fever. I feel too young. I’m only 25 – how could I possibly know how to care for a child yet; I can barely take care of my husband, dog, and me. I guess what I’m wondering is should that itch be there? Should I be craving to be a mother? Does this mean my maternal instincts are off? I just feel like an older (and hopefully more mature and less selfish) version of me would make a better mother. Plus, the husband isn’t even out of law school yet! I think about my future children: their looks, personality. In my dreams I love being pregnant (I hope that is true, but the labor part still terrifies me). I know I’ll love sewing l...

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 #19: A blast from the past – Monday Movie Review

Ever since the hubby and I ended our blockbuster subscription, we have really not watched too many movies.  Honestly, he has been so busy that we just haven’t had the time.  However, my amazing in-laws have been entertaining me during this bar exam review time, and we went to see the Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Saturday.  (Picture from here .) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.  It was exciting and thrilling, and in my opinion, I’m not sure I would take a really young child to it (maybe 10 and older…)  It kept my attention, and I don’t think that it drug on too long either.  Sometimes I think these epic type movies go on and on and on, but this ended at a nice time, and it had the most adorable bulldog in the cast, too! I definitely recommend it! (Picture from here .) We also recently watched The Paper Chase .  I guess this movie itself is kind of blast from the past – 1973 to be exact.  Our neighbor actually dropped it in our mailbox as ...
