rest your worries with truth
{must be why the bible exists, huh?}
So, I’ve created my own little Truth List.
You just have to remember what it is.
So, I thought I’d share my own list that I’ve been compiling over the last three and half years…
the list that brings me rest and peace.
The list that will never be complete, I’m sure.
My Truth List
{i also have quotes which are on the lower right hand side of my blog, those are huge for me as well}
~~~~~~~
What are your truths?
I encourage you to share them in the comments…
as I would LOVE to have a place to come where I can sit and read through mine and yours and just simply breathe and find peace.
it’s what i wore out: granny style
granny sweater: tag says UTY, thrifted
skirt: tag says worthington, thrifted
tights: the ones they sell at Costco, best tights ever!!!
shoes: jeffery campbell, platos closet
necklace: jennifer zeuner
ring: f21
kid: mine…my sweet almost 6 year old Taylor who wants to be a part of anything and everything if he’s around.
and the last picture is to show my fave lipstick, CoverGirl Lip Perfection in Smitten.
occasion: church!
This is the kind of outfit I envision wearing when I’m an old granny.
Long skirts, thick tights, granny sweaters, and chunky shoes.
Although, not sure I’ll be rockin’ the heels at that point, but ya just never know.
So, this week, eh…not feeling the bloggy love.
It comes and it goes, I guess…
Yup.
Um.
So.
Ya….
I’ve got nothing.
so that’s what the macro setting is for
what you’re seeing is what i discovered with the simplicity of a point and shoot and the macro setting.
Who could know the lessons buried deep within the macro setting?
it’s what i wore out: vintage dvf, i die
jacket: i meannnnn…i. die. can you even believe it right now? vintage dvf? she is. so. iconic, you don’t even know.
{best rachel zoe impression ever, if only you could hear me say it, you would totally think i was her!}
So this was sent to me (awhile ago!!!) by one of my most favorite bloggers and gals EVER….sweet Angela, who discovered it at a Goodwill!!! Could you DIE? And what’s crazier is that she found TWO!!! Who is that lucky???
There is so much I can do with this, and I’m thinking of having it hemmed a bit shorter (above the knee), but oh, how I love it so…
{thank you ANGELA!!!}
dress: tag says tiana b, thrifted
leggings: f21
boots: f21
necklaces: f21 & jennifer zeuner
ring: found at a toy store for $2 when shopping with a friend…we got matching ones, ya know, circa 1985 style. {if you’re my age}
sunnies: f21
occasion: birthday lunch for Taylor at John Incredible Pizza.
So, this is what I call an outfit to wear to a pizza buffet restaurant.
Because that’s exactly where I went in this getup.
I needed something cute and comfy, but most especially something that would hide the large amounts of pizza that would soon be in ma belly.
And that dog?
{funny thing, i keep typing god when I mean to type dog, hmmm, what does it mean?}
So…
Taylor has been begging and begging for a dog, even promising he will ABSOLUTELY pick up the poop if we were to get one.
Then Jimmy said that IF we ever got a dog (again, third time’s a charm?), it would need to look like a mans dog.
SO.
I called one of my besties and requested her dog for a long weekend, so that we could test things out.
I wanted to see how it would be with a bigger dog in a small house, how we handled the responsibility, and of course…
to see if Taylor would actually pick up the massive poops.
I kid you not, not even 24 hours into Tia’s (the dog) stay, Taylor happened upon a pile o’ poo.
And when Jimmy told him to go ahead and pick it up, this is what Taylor had to say:
“I’m not picking that up! It wasn’t MY idea to get a dog!”
Um, excuse me?!?
Of course, 48 hours later, we are all madly in love, fighting over who gets to pick up the poo (okay, not really), and talking baby talk to a dog that may never see her owners again….if we have anything to say about it.
But then she’ll fart, and we begin to reconsider the whole dog thing after all.
I mean, I have two boys in this house.
Do you have ANY idea the smells they come with???
Guess I must forget easily, because I just got on petfinder a second ago to look up Vizslas (Tia’s breed).
I didn’t think I was a dog person, but maybe I just needed the right dog….
We’ll see….
a bra for lunch…exactly!

~~~~~~~
So, today begins the end of my cadbury egg and pizza binges, and now’s the time to get back to a life of balance.
I know this because getting dressed for church yesterday created way more sweat than really was necessary. You know the kind…the whole mad chaos sweat that’s created from trying one thing on after another in a desperate attempt to get SOMETHING, just ANYTHING, to fit.
And look cute at the same time.
Oh dear me.
And while I don’t think I can go back to the whole diet thing, I think by simply finding some balance and sticking to my workouts, hopefully things will be able to work themselves out in time.
I debate getting on the scale to see what’s REALLY going on…but I know deep down that the scale life just isn’t for me.
{i’ve been scale clean and sober for almost 7 months now!!!}
I just refuse to ever be ruled by numbers again.
In fact, I don’t even have a size I aspire to be anymore either.
I just want to feel…
healthy.
Maybe I’ll weigh again, maybe I won’t.
But, if and when I do…
It will be when I know I won’t allow it to dictate my happiness.
Could be tomorrow.
Could be 10 years from now…
Woah.
Ummm….wasn’t this supposed to be a fashion post?
Anyway, just had to put that out there in case any of you happen to see me at the store eyeing the eggs…
I just. gotta. back away from the eggs…
