Hello there! I had quite the bad day today, and it's hard for me to write a blog post when that happens. It's also hard to stay positive when these days happen; it's just a downward spiral of negative thinking. I am by nature a very positive, cheerful, optimistic person. I have one thorn in my side though, that keeps me from feeling fully happy. I am trying my best to get this thorn gone from my side, but it's not so easy. Unfortunately, I can't talk about the details here, in case someone who shouldn't see, would see. I can say it has nothing to do with my marriage or friends though! So, that's a good thing, since they are both extremly important to me. But, it is a drain on me mentally, and hard for me to kick that feeling. Anyway, enough venting here! Let's talk about more fun, colourful things.
Friday night Bob and I will be going to my parent's house, along with some other family, toc elebrate my dad's birthday. Sunday we are actually going to Bethlehem! We have been planning to for weeks, but kept putting it off. It's supposed to be 60 degrees all weekend, too, so that'll be perfect.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Retrolicious Little Red Riding Hood dress that I got in New Orleans in September. It's a little bit short for me, but the print is so darn cute, that I had to get it anyway. In the first picture I'm getting ready for my work Christmas party, which was this past Saturday. (I didn't actually wear this dress to it!)

Hello there! Today I'm meeting my friend for lunch at Panera, and tomorrow I'm going to Adamstown with Bob, which I'm very excited about! I know we won't have enough time there to see all the antique places, or even most, but it'll still be good to get to go to some.
I got to see my parents Thursday night when we went to visit my great uncle. Last night Bob and I attempted to watch the first episode of "Wentworth", an Australian prison drama. I unfortunately fell asleep for most of it, ha. Not because it was boring though! He saw the whole thing, and liked it. He had heard from some cousins that they liked it better than "Orange is the New Black", which is hard to believe! But, I definitely want to watch that episode in full.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my adorable unicorns and rainbows dress I got at Wicked in New Orleans. It's Retrolicious brand. Retrolicious chooses the best fabrics to make dresses out of! I have a quite a few of their dresses and skirts now. I wish they'd come out with more longer length dresses. They don't make many that are longer than this, but I do have one that is.

Hello there! Today Bob & I are just staying home. I'm going to work out, read, and just watch TV/relax. He's going to be doing some cooking and baking, like he always does on Sundays. Yesterday I cleaned, did laundry, worked out, read, watched TV, and met my friend for a couple of hours. We went to Marshall's & Kohl's. I didn't buy anything at either store; I didn't see anything I really liked. But, that's pretty typical for those stores. I used to buy a lot of things from both of those stores, but my style has changed considerably since then. I still do like to check out the housewares section though at both places. It's been a pretty quiet weekend, but this coming weeked Bob & I will be in Massachusetts for the New England Shake-Up.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Retrolicious unicorns & rainbows dress I bought in New Orleans. It's such a colourful, fun dress! It really looks like a Lisa Frank print. When I saw it in the store window, I knew I had to try it on. There was one left in my size, thankfully! The shop owner said they just got it in, but it really already almost sold out. It's really tight in the bust, and has a little room in the waist. Retrolicious uses the best fabrics. I'm always excited to see what they come out with next.
