Conversation #150: Oh the backlog...

So as I got closer to taking the PE exam, I cared less and less about clothing.  However, I did take a handful of pictures over the last few weeks I haven't shared (at least I don't think I have!)  I'm going to share those for the next couple of days, and then I'll jump into some fun home improvement projects we have been doing.  I really think the husband just finds things to do so he can buy more tools, but we expanded the patio, planted our yearly garden, updated the front flower beds, bought an old dresser to fix up, and are currently resurfacing our old broken driveway.  I probably did too much while trying to study, but it kept me sane!  Plus, my house is a mess so no one is allowed to come over for probably another week...gotta give myself some time to get back in the swing of domestic life.

Anywho, here are a few outfits below (nothing super special, but always a good deal - you know me!)
*some of these are back from when it was still chilly out!


Outfit breakdown:
Cardi, J.Crew, $20
Denim shirt, Gap (literally years ago, probably 10), $?
Cords, Lands End, $10 (I think)
Boots, Talbots, $15 (it was an amazing deal) 


Outfit breakdown:
Sweater dress, Coldwater Creek, $40
Leather boots, Enzo Angiolini, $50 via 6pm.com (love this website)
Necklace, seen many times before

Outfit breakdown (I liked this one):
White blouse, J. Jill, $10
Pants, Talbots, $12
Leather oxfords, J.Jill, $30

This was my St.Patrick's Day outfit:
Cardi, Coldwater Creek, $15
Top, NY & Company, bday gift from my mom :)
Jeans, Talbots, $20
Green leather driving Mocs, J.Crew via ebay, $17 (awesome find)


So there are a few for your viewing pleasure - nothing too taxing to read on the weekend!

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 #32: Kitchen Design Help!

Okay, I don’t really know that too many people read this blog since I moved to a new address, but I’m begging if you do, please help me.  I am at a loss on what to do with part of my kitchen. Here is how I painted my kitchen 3 years ago: It was fun, bright, and I like it, but we decided it needed to be a bit more grown-up these days.  I knew we would have to paint it before we moved so we decided to just go ahead and do it now for a change.  We decided to go with a gray so that it would be neutral but not boring.  However, the gray had a strong blue tone to it on the walls and now I need to phase out my turquoise decor I think. Here are some afters (still putting it back together): Some of these are the same shots but with/without flash to show the colors.  I think I really like the new color, but the turquoise trim does not go anymore in my opinion.  I’m trying to figure out what to do with it, and I need help!!! ...

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...
