Truly Madly Deeply


this would be alot easier if my dog learned to take my picture!

with 13 days of work left i'm panicking trying to get in all my outfits! in the summer i am way more relaxed and not sure they will be all that blog worthy but maybe i'll continue to step it up a bit... since i started reading more blogs and then blogging myself i have raised the bar a bit... more structured clothing... if i'm going to put it out there for anonymous comment i feel like i have to try harder. and quite frankly when it was just me going to work everyday i had more off days. i don't consider outfit planning to be base because it is how i am able to be creative everyday. is a painter base or a writer? i think not so this is just a working girl getting the opportunity to create a little something everyday that genuinely makes me happy and i hope brightens someone else's day. or not. or creates a conversation. who knows? anywho... i laid out a few outfit choices for Saturdays LOL Live: Savings Summit 10 that Kasmira from What I Wore Today will be holding a breakout session. i'm excited to meet her and to see other possible bloggers and fashionistas. i read Londyn's blog also and since she is friends with Kasmira i'm assuming she might also be there. so yesterday i'm pulling things out of the closet and going over what i've learned blogwise...
1- these chicks rarely wear pants
2- no crop pants with flats- ouch that one hurts
3- layer, layer, layer - good since this cincy weather has been unpredictable
4- shoes are very, very important to bring the outfit together
5- more is more
so we'll see what i come with...
today's outfit seems a bit boring but i had an early meeting with some parents i've never met before so i wanted to be conservative. 
i love this charm necklace. i bought the Paula Best charms and added some beads on a string.  the bracelet is a nice conversation piece with people about banned books. each tile is a title like To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Ask Alice, Alice in Wonderland... what's your favorite banned book?

i found some matching popcorn bowls at goodwill. i had some small bowls but then found the large bowl, canister and more small bowls... hubs said if i brought these home i had to actually buy some popcorn. i did. both. these little glass salt and pepper shakers i picked up at a garage sale a few weeks ago. so simple and cute.
and i forgot to share pics of my winnings from Nostalgia! Happy days pink grapefruit and wild lemongrass soap, Sweet orang wild orange cinnamon soap, Plum Tired Aromatherapy balm, Twirl Aromatherapy blam. gorgeous. smellalicious. Don't you just love getting gifts in the mail? and not fishing lures from Bass Pro mind you.

it smells like wet gravel, wet forest floor and wet hay on our walk this evening. and it's warmer outside than inside right now. 

Goals 2010 Progress:

Plan+ 

Exercise+ stretching, r. bike 30 min, 25 pushups, 50 crunches

Meals+ green smoothie, egg salad on rye w spinach, yogurt, chips/salsa, 32 oz. water, coke zero, koolaid splenda, coney, chips/cheese- these leftovers are getting my goat!

Spending+ the truck is going to cost $300 to fix the something or other, grrr. 

38 days until the reunion and i've lost 7 lbs so far this year. 22 to go :) i'll be happy with 2 lb. loss a week to just get me 12 more lbs. then take off the rest through the summer
