That nagging feeling

Don't you hate it when you wake up with that nagging feeling that you've forgotten to do something, but you can't remember what it might be? I sure do. It's been bugging me all morning.

Whatever it is, it will probably have to wait. We were at my parents' house most of the weekend, celebrating my little sister's birthday and going to a fundraiser for my old high school's marching band. It was a lot of fun, but Matt and I were exhausted when we got home yesterday. And when we finally got around to unpacking and cleaning up the house, we discovered that the dishwasher is broken. As in, smoke coming from the burned-out motor broken. And did I mention it was full of dirty dishes? And both the sinks were full of dirty dishes too? Ugh. Guess I know what I'll be doing all week while we wait for the landlord to install the new dishwasher...

I have the hardest time getting dressed for work in the winter. Because my office is usually always so cold, I really have to layer up if I want to retain feeling in my arms and fingers. And with my limited, highly remixed wardrobe, there's only so much you can do with sweaters and blazers. I find myself repeating outfits more and more in the colder weeks we've had lately.

Luckily, it's supposed to be in the mid-40s and even lower 50s this week, so maybe I'll be able to bust out some short sleeves...including the two shirts that Joanna sent me that I haven't been able to wear yet!

Catching up

Well, I'm definitely starting to pay the toll for taking an entire weekend (and Monday, and part of Tuesday) to do fun things. I'm so behind on my freelance stuff, it would be laughable if I didn't really need the money. Good thing I get Monday off next week. Something tells me I'll have to be ultra-productive. Especially because my friend Emily is coming to town tonight! Very excited to see her, but it also means I won't be getting much work done. Ah, well. Tis the season ;)

I was going to post all four of my holiday outfits (worn to six different gatherings), but I haven't had the time to even edit photos yet! Not to mention I still have to reshoot a few of the outfits first. Somehow, getting home from a one- or two-hour drive at 10 or 11 pm, after running around all dang day, isn't really conducive to good outfit shots. Go figure.

I have a love-hate relationship with this sweater. It's pretty soft, and comfy, and easy to style. But it attracts Spazzy's white hair like the dang cat is going bald. I practically have to carry a lint roller with me when I'm wearing the sweater. And as you may or may not know, I'm generally kinda lazy sometimes, so that doesn't always happen.

Oh, and do you like my new glasses? I bought them a while back when Eye Buy Direct was having their annual buy one, get one half off sale. They were SUPER affordable (I paid $40 for two pairs), but shipping took forever. When I called and asked how much longer it would take to ship them, they refunded my shipping cost and got them in the mail practically the next day. Not bad, when you think about it. Highly recommend :)
