I love this top my mom picked up for me at TJMaxx! I’ve had it since late fall and very patiently waited until warmer weather to wear it. In the last photo, I’m looking over towards the house, where my dog managed to find the only open window in the house and was watching us. Annie hates getting left out.

Hello again! Sorry it’s been a little while since I’ve updated - had to work this big carnival at school on Saturday, and then I’ve been enjoying having the house to myself since then. My parents took a vacation on the way to go pick up my sister from college, so I’ve been taking advantage of having a very nice, well-stocked kitchen to myself! I’m excited to know that I can concoct tasty, and surprisingly healthily I might add, things to eat when circumstances will no longer allow me to take advantage of my mama’s cooking :)

Here’s last Friday’s outfit - which seems like a long time ago now! I had a busy weekend between house/dog sitting, day trips, Mother’s Day, my brother returning home from college for the summer, and a mini family reunion with uncles, aunt, cousins, and grandparents. This dress reminds me of my mom, who loves denim in any form, and always has at least one denim dress and skirt in her closet.

I’m so confused about the weather now that when we finally have a warm and sunny day, I still wear an outfit that could literally be worn on any day of the calendar year. I’m reading a book right now about Flannery O’Connor, which is set in Milledgeville, Georgia and on her farm, Andalusia. It’s pretty special because I visited there with a class my senior year of college. You know what else is special? Tomorrow being Friday - I’m looking forward to a chill weekend and celebrating Mother’s day with my mom and grandmothers.

The rain finally went away! And it so kindly left in its place humidity-free skies and pretty green pastures full of buttercups, which I took full advantage of during today’s photo session. I love all the colors of spring… fall is pretty with its fiery leaves, but spring uses every possible shade of green to its advantage, not to mention all those pretty pinks and yellows! Slash I wasn’t aware buttercups came in tie-dyed versions… maybe they’re the hippies of the flower world? Ha.

Well, hello! I accidentally haven’t blogged in six days. Oops. My grandmother was in a serious accident last week, so our household has been out of sorts. She’s still in the hospital, and needs another surgery, but she’s going to be ok. In other news, it’s been raining. A lot. And my mother had a birthday yesterday! We had an unexpectedly long evening out of town for her birthday dinner, courtesy of my brother’s car running out of fuel on the way to meet us. Ohhhh well. Thus is life. Tomorrow, I hear the sun will be shining. Things are looking up.

My outfit matches the weather… but the scarf is me hoping that the sun will decide to come back asap! All this rain is definitely putting a damper [heh look at me making puns] on taking outfit pictures. At least today has downgraded to a light rain vs the downpour/intermittent hail that was happening when I got home from work yesterday. Ain’t nobody got time for being out in that mess.

Going with a pretty heavy nautical theme seemed appropriate for today’s monsoon-y at times weather. Today would have been a good day to drink tea and read all day long… so after I finish this, I’ll probably do that for a couple of hours to make up for lost time :D

It’s finally Friday! Today actually went pretty quickly, I had lots to keep me busy and I got to go in late since I was at that trade show last night. Yearbooks are halfway passed out and we’ve made some good progress on ideas and organization for next year, which is exciting! Now I have one last email to send out and I’ll be home free for the weekend… sounds good to me :D

Cait & I met up for lunch today, and let me tell you, nothing brightens up the middle of a cloudy, stressful work day like one of your best friends + Mexican food. And can we talk about how every night I ambitiously lay out a sleeveless or short sleeve top for the next day, only to realize in the morning that that’s crazy and have to add a cardigan for warmth? Finally, happy birthday to my little brother! It’s seems like not long ago when we were throwing you a Barney themed party for your second birthday - and let’s be real, I was thrilled too. I stinking loved Barney.
