What I Wore: Plaid & Rusty Reds

4.23.2015


Hello! Ahh it's been so long since I last posted and while I'm silently cursing myself for breaking my goal of blogging more this year, it simply couldn't be helped. It has truly been one of those when it rains it pours sort of times around here. I laugh now because when disaster strikes I anxiously wait for the other shoe to drop, or in our case shoes! But life has been good to me so I can't complain. This past month I've had to put our wood flooring on hold in preparation for my mothers visit from Oklahoma. Whenever company comes I love to clean my house from top to bottom, EVERY square inch. Of course if you've ever been to my house it's never really dirty minus my always piling mountain of laundry (I really dislike laundry). So with family coming I decided it was probably a good idea to take a few days off from the ever distracting social media. I will avoid going into details online but my visit with my mom was regrettably terrible and left an awful scar that I'm still hurt over.


It left me mentally spent and in no mood to interact with anyone so I spent a week being a hermit watching anime and Korean dramas. I know I'm such a nerd! I'll probably be an 80 year old woman still watching cartoons and cheesy shows. As the weather got warmer we started using our sprinklers. My husband proudly cheered that this year everything seemed to be working well and that he was happy not to have to work on them again for the third year in a row. No sooner did he say that did a leak spring causing a pipe burst in our basement guestroom! Thankfully we caught it right away with little water damage. Unfortunately we had to tear out a wall. Then due to a complication we had to go two days without water. It was only two days but when you have a family of four who all use the restroom... well it can get stinky. :-/ We went through a lot of bottled water and I will say I'm extremely thankful to live in a house with 4 toilets!


Is it weird that I'm talking about this instead of my outfit? I usually bring my outfit somewhere into the conversation but since it's been so long since I last posted I wanted to catch up those who have emailed me with concern. In between that time our microwave and slow cooker both kicked the bucket. Now financially spent I'm praying our dryer hangs in there just a while longer. So, as many of you have asked, how am I doing? I am doing great! A part of me wants to grumble about NEVER getting ahead but I have waaaay to much to be thankful for, so forward I go. Next up, Chloie's 15th Birthday (Insert ghostly faced emoji)!


Things to come: Accutane updates; due to a corrupt memory card I lost all my capture 365 that I had been saving along with Accutane updates, I will just continue from this point on. The plus side, I'm on my 2nd to last month. Woohoo!

  3. Glad you're back! I hope things get better with your mom, it can suck sometimes, things haven't been going too well with mine either since I became a mother myself. (insert sad face here) If you want to talk you can email me, we can share sad stories. xD As for being nerdy, I don't think you can beat me, ahaha, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, World of Warcraft, bring it on baby! Love your outfit as always. You're so inspirational!

    1. I think I'll always be chased by trials and disasters. LOL! But as long as I can catch a longer breath in between I will remain content and grateful.

  5. Darn...I just realized I never technically responded to your email...! Sorry, my mind has been like sand through fingers lately. Glad you're OK (as I think I've said in Instagram) and sorry that that trip left some emotional scaring. But, you also look wonderful! The photos, outfit, and your skin all look amazing here! Glad you're blogging again!! XO
