What we've been up to

So I've been "resting" lately.  And so far that's included couch time plus:

  Goodwilling it up with Carlos and trying on matching denim jumpsuits. It was really special.
Synchronized head tilting is in our blood. PS: do people laugh/point at you when you're thrifting? 

While we were there I BOUGHT MYSELF shoes. And I was gonna just be sneaky and never mention it for shame but they're  
Croft & Barrow oxfords that I've been wearing non-stop since I made them mine, so you'll be seeing them lots. 
 The.most.comfortable.shoes.I've.ever.owned. No hiding that.  
(Tally: I've spent $28.00 bucks this year, the oxfords were $7.99. Honest.)

I also attended the Relief Society broadcast for our church and was blown away by this talk
Seriously. Blown away. Check it out ladies. 
What's your golden ticket? I have lots but I'm working on them. Sigh.
I wore my thrifted oxfords, a freepiled sweater, plus this sweet swapped skirt:

I also gave up cooking. Cold turkey.
Last week's menu?
Vito's (pizza). Habit (burgers). Chipotle (duh. burritos). Frozen pizza.  
Chipotle again. IHOP. Habit again. Trader Joe's mandarin chicken. Pinkberry
But don't worry, to counterbalance all of that, I also quick working out. 
Yeah, next week's gonna suck.

I also hit the library BY MYSELF!! Miracle.

I got four books but in all the, "I can look at anything I want without a kicking/screaming 2 year old!" excitement,
I forgot the one I really wanted: BOSSYPANTS. Dang it.

The most exciting thing that happened this week was definitely the dip in temperature.
We've been having 90+ degree days but all of the sudden it feels like fall! 

B and I also made it to the park everyday, dumpster dived a new project 
(a cute little vintage side table that need some paint. asap.) and watched way too much t.v. Resting week was good. 
My cough still lives and the Kleenex usage is beyond but we're getting there.

I just want to be able to laugh again without sounding like I've had a pack a day habit for the last 20 years, you  know? 
I'm pretty worried about it, truthfully ... hahahaha! This is my fave picture of me ever.
(Sorry everybody who knows me on FB/twitter but I just love it. So much. Glamor shots were obviously my true calling in life.)
