I took the girls down to the pool today where the water was warmer than a bathtub and they floundered around for 2 hours, then I had to run some errands which racked up 10,000 steps. If Merle isn’t tired and doesn’t sleep tonight then I am going to be pissed.

I bought myself a Mother’s Day present after ogling it for a while. It’s in stock on the Canadian site, but I think it’s still listed as “coming soon” on the U.S. site. (Mango is also having a 30% off sale for Mother’s Day which I missed by like 5 hours :/ )  . I now have one big summerish bag and one small, so I think I am set for bags for spring and summer. I still haven’t bought sandals yet though. I keep hoping the Madewell Boardwalks will show up on Ebay but so far no luck. There was a Zara pair that were really close in style and half the price early this season but they sold out before I had the money to get them and they unfortunately weren’t restocked. I’m keeping my eyes open so let me know if you come across a pair even if they are used. Continue Reading

This is a big packing list, and by big an extra travel outfit options list to cover the 45 days.

Forty-five days is long, and in June/July the weather in Spain, Portugal, and Greece will be hot. If you don’t have easy access to laundry on your vacation you are going to want to pack an extra top or two just in case you sweat through your supply.

It’s so insanely windy right now. My power keeps shutting off so it’s making typing this difficult. I feel like I should shut down the computer until the storm passes so I don’t ruin my it. When I was in high school I neglected to turn off and unplug my tv during a thunderstorm and it got fried which sucked because it was our big, old tv that we had previously had in the living room and it was super awesome to have in my room.

I was returning a couple of things to Zara yesterday and I saw this on my quick perusal of the store. I liked it and bought it without trying on, but when I got home I tried it on I saw that I had mistaken the back for the front. The way they had them displayed on the rack you can tell the salespeople made the same mistake. I assumed the opening was in the front and in all honesty I think it looks better (you can see the back in the link above). The question is, do you think it will be really obvious if I wear it backwards, or should I return it?

Today was sort of an epic write off, I admit. I pretty much spent a huge part of the day googling and reading articles on medieval facial reconstruction. One article would lead to another, then Youtube videos, and Wikipedia. It kind of just took over my day. I did manage to submit my taxes early this morning (to my accountant person to look over), change the sheets, and do some laundry so I guess it wasn’t all a waste. We were going to go thrifting but I saw an email from Value Village this morning saying it was a 50% off day pre-sale for card members which means that it would be epically busy, and picked over so we skipped it.
