I logged on to Instagram this morning and it was being weird. The feed kept refreshing and then going to a white screen so I closed the app and reopened it.

Immediately upon reopening, a message popped up on the screen saying that I had a copyright infringement on a specific photo (it is the bottom photo in last weeks’ what I wore post).

It is our 17th wedding anniversary today. Sometimes it seems so far away and then other times I can still remember the frustration and disappointment that people kept bringing me water.

Don’t get me wrong, I was appreciative that they even thought to bring me over something because it was a pretty good party and there was a lot of drinking involved, but I really, really hate water.

It makes me gag.

How to Build a Summer Weekend Cottage Packing List

Cottage Packing List

Tank | Band Tee | White T-shirt | Cropped Sweatshirt | Pyjamas | Jumpsuit | Cardigan | Shorts | Joggers | Swimsuit Cover | Bra | Underwear | Socks | Swimsuit | Hat | Sunglasses | Scrunchies | Sneakers | Sandals | Tote | Weekender Tote |

I will preface this by admitting that I am absolutely not a cottage or camping type of person. I don’t think that is shocking to anyone that knows or is familiar with me.

Although I probably wouldn’t pass up a luxury cottage that has good wifi, tv, and great bathroom facilities.

That being said, my mother-in-law has a cabin way up north. She has had it for many, many years, and Tom loves to go down there for a least one long weekend every summer.

I am not going to lie, I spent the greater part of today thinking that it was Saturday. A mid-week holiday always throws me off. I didn’t realize it until I was trying to order dinner and noticed a lot of the places were closing at 6:30 instead of much later.

That clued me in.

It was an order from three different places because no one can agree on one place, sort of night. Greek for Roo, Harvey’s for Merle and I, and Tom ordered Red Lobster, making me want to throw up.

I got to experience something today that I haven’t since I was a teenager. I was out running errands on foot, and I knew that it was going to rain before I even left the house. I wore my sneakers so I could move fast, and I brought an umbrella.

I wore these.
