Back in time...

LDs, picture yourselves as a young person (age 18-20) in the Southern states, in approximately the 1850s (just before the War). You are courting/being courted by someone who makes your stomach flutter.

Girls - give me some good date ideas (what would make your heart skip a beat).

Guys - where would you take a girl who's father's favour you're hoping for?

I can modify them to fit the time frame.

Thoughts?

*happy dance*

I had a great day today, LDs. The husband and I headed for Edwardsville around 11am. Browsed:

Books A Million (picked up two)

Ashley Furniture (bought my new kitchen table and two chairs--I LOVE IT!!)

Old Navy (nothing...)

Shoe Carnival (new shoes for the hubs and got some really good information about shoes from the guy who helped us)

Office Depot (nothing...)

Target (looking for a new bedroom fan, but struck out)

Sears (just browsing).

Then we hit up Wasabi for dinner (love love love the sushi), and home. There was a bit of a tiff earlier, but we're good now.

Other than that, we haven't done much this weekend. How was yours?

Outfit of the Day...

OotD 4 January 2012 - Wednesday. Work=blah.
Scarf: belt from a thrifted dress in the exact material.

Shirt: sweatshirt tunic, Lane Bryant. sz 18/20.

Jeans: Apt 9 bootcut. sz 20

Boots: Justin. men’s sz 7 (to fit my calves…)
It’s one of my most comfy outfits, and fits well. And quite possibly the one I’m wearing out to Wild Country next Friday for a bestie’s little brother’s 18th birthday.

I shall do more later. I'm kind of getting into this :)

The Freakin' Plague!!

Dear LDs, has anyone else spent the last month sick? Not the flu, but I've had a freaking cold since the beginning of December! Finally went to the doctor on Friday, and she scripted me a z-pack and cough syrup with codeine (yay narcotics).... Poor husband finally caught it from me. It was kind of nice spending the entire day yesterday snuggling on the couch and watching Netflix and movies.

Today, I'm in my faborite green sweater & turquoise undershirt, and the necklace my sister got me for Christmas - it goes with everything since it has red, yellow, green, blue, and purple beads and stones in it. I love it and was lusting after it, but didn't have the funds. She's sneaky like that. (pic unavailable...was tired and changed directly into pj's when I got home)

Oh! I did get a couple of things on Pinterest done! One of them is a scarf hanger--take some plastic shower curtain rings, put them on a hanger, hang your scarves on the rings, and Voila! You can hang your scarves in your closet with the rest of your fabulous clothes!

So, what's your damage today, LDs?

New Year's Day

We celebrated Christmas with my family today. It was nice...ish. I dressed up a bit (new top, bottoms, and necklace), and was surprisingly comfortable - meaning no one commented on my weight! This was my outfit (I had already taken off the necklace, and yes, I am incredibly washed out in this pic) - cowl neck jersey sweater tunic, black leggings (first time ever wearing them like this!), black knee-high hooker boots that I've had for ages. Husband said it was a smokin' hot outfit!

Did get a nice bunch of presents - money, a portable USB charger (for my phone), some more perfume, fabric scissors, an adapter so I can iPod through my car radio...um...a frame ornament, and some hella good cookies (Oma makes enough for a small army).

I did finish the 2011 Book Challenge by Kristin of Dragondreamer's Lair...by one. freaking. book. I almost didn't get it done. I think I'll drop back to 75 for 2012...ouch.

So, how was your New Years' Eve/Day, LDs?

Lovesies!
