So, I think I found a way to love skinny jeans.
They have to feel and kinda even look like leggings.
And these are definitely a lot closer to being a love of mine.
My neighbor was wearing a pair awhile ago and I couldn’t stop oohing and ahhing over them…
A week later, she brought them by for me…
A pair of my own in just my size.
And she just got them too,
so if you want them,
run to ROSS like, now.
The rest of my outfit is all from either Ross or TJ Maxx,
and it’s all old news as far as my closet is concerned.
Shoes are Madden Girl…
Oh, and of course my beloved La Mer watch…
matched with bangles from Walmart.
Walmart & Le Mer, that’s how I roll.
~~~~~~~
Okay, so this week was probably one of my toughest so far…
{this year, anyway}
being that I lost my best friend of 18 years.
We broke up.
Over Facebook.
So 2010, right?
It was time though…
we were both such different people as adults,
that it just wasn’t healthy for either of us anymore.
It didn’t end as well as I hoped,
so ya,
that kinda sucked.
But now that the first half of March is over,
I’m happy to leave all the sucky behind…
and move on to the next happy happy joy joy half!
Because……

I have GREAT news!
As of Monday, we will become a family of five!
{for awhile, anyway}
Social services came through, and I seriously couldn’t be any happier!
And while, for safety reasons,
I won’t be posting too much about it….
just continue to keep the whole situation always in your prayers.
{In fact, don’t be surprised if one day I delete all reference to this. We just want to keep everyone safe.}

So now this weekend I will REALLY be ordering the bunk beds.
And I will be eating chocolate cake.
And pizza.
And maybe even breadsticks.
Oh, and yes….
Soda too.
{and then I’ll do some Tracy Anderson Method to make up for it!}
I’ve got some celebrating to do!

    1.5 I’ve been there with having to break up with a best friend. It is one of the hardest things to do, but sometimes so much healthier in the long run. It’s not an easy thing though, I know.
