Blur

Yesterday was all a blur. I had several meetings at work, it was the first day of Daddy Daycare (We pulled our kids out of daycare to be with my husband this summer. We work opposite schedules, so it's a perfect way for us to save some money!) and it was also Pilates night. I rushed around all day long! So much so that I forgot to take my picture. I got a little creative and just put everything back together on my bed, after the gym I had no energy to put it back on, get the tripod out, etc.

Yawner In More Ways Than One

Today's outfit was a yawner but I was really comfy and lately that's all that matters! I've been exhausted for the past few weeks. I've been trying to get into bed earlier but somehow I can think of fifty million other things to do besides sleep. I think I'll just have to force myself in bed by 10 p.m.

Estimated Cost: $59

Don't leave yet! There's more.

Earlier this week my husband broke to me that he would be traveling to cover a D3 football game on Saturday. Bummer. Well today he kindly let me know that one of his co-workers got him tickets to the Eagles game on Sunday (if you read my post on our family portraits, you know my husband is a HUGE Eagles fan) and because he's off Saturday he has to work tomorrow which is usually his day off.

Last year our deal was when he traveled and I was home alone all weekend, I got a new pair of shoes. Since I've traveled with him a lot this year, I never had the need to bring up our previous agreement. Well, well, well today was the day!...For this special occasion, I negotiated my way into TWO pair of new shoes with an $80 budget. Not bad. The perfect opportunity to find the brown pumps I've been wanting forever.


Nine West had their Buy One Get One 50% OFF sale and I also had a 20% OFF coupon. As long as I stayed within my budget getting an extra pair is fine, right? My total was $83. Woot, woot!

When I got home my husband said, "That's ridiculous that you bought three pairs of shoes in the same color!" Men just don't get it!

It's All A Blur

Has this week been a blur or is it just me? It's already Thursday! I've been so busy this week the days have just run together. I didn't even get a chance to take a pic yesterday, I had a breakfast meeting and had to be at the venue at 7:15 and then I worked until 6:30. Luckily, I'm off tomorrow (OK after my 9 a.m. meeting I'm off) and will be able to spend the day with my husband and sis-in-law who's visiting from Seattle. Shopping is definitely on the agenda :0) I have City Cash to use and I am still in search of the perfect pair of brown pumps!

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Today is my hubby's birthday and he's now considered...OLD! I won't say how old he is, he's just old! Poor thing, arthritis and memory loss are going to start setting in soon :0) We just got home from a lovely dinner at our local Japanese steakhouse. It was really yummy!

Since I didn't take my pic until about 9 p.m., no full body (I look a horrible mess). I'm sleepy and I definitely look it. Eeeek! Anywho, here's what I wore today:

I've never been a fan of stripes but after wearing this sweater, it changed my mind a little. I didn't look like a cow like I thought I would. So, I'm going at it again today and I feel like I look thinner than I really am. In this case I may be wearing this cardigan every day!
