I want to be trendy. Most of you will laugh because I spend my days in ripped jeans and stained solid colored shirts. I don't really do my make up all that fancy and my hair can be disastrous (I like when people at work ask "did you oversleep today?")
Anyway, getting highlights was a big deal for me. And I decided I should continue the trendiness with a couple of dresses that were unmelike but beautiful nonetheless. One of them is fuschia. And I say to myself, I WANT TRENDY HEELS. What does that even mean? It means that I want something that isnt matchy matchy. In my mind, I want yellow or green shoes. Maybe gold or even navy shoes. But I'm deathly afraid of getting all dressed up with my trendy self and someone says "what's up punky brewster". This is totally illogical right?
this is the obligatory "where in the hell did the summer go" post.
The truth is, I've had a long, productive summer. I've actually just been too busy to notice.
May brought birthday celebrations all around: First Doug's godson, Brant turned TWO. Then we celebrated my birthday with pizza and home movies.
June got to see a trip home to Albuquerque, two Counting Crows concerts, a Fathers Day celebration and Doug's birthday.
July was a trip to California, a trip to Minneapolis, and concerts for Matt Nathanson, Counting Crows, Josh Ritter, Brett Dennen and a taste of America's best burger -as voted by Good Morning America.
August has come in with quite the bang. We learned that Doug's sister, Jamie, is expecting a baby early in March. I had a bachelorette party, a bridal shower, we have two weddings here in Illinois and cousin Stacey's wedding in Albuquerque, all within the same week. Not to mention the air and water show, a Cubs game, Craig's first visit to Chicago and possibly a class at Paper Source (yeah that ones exciting)
I think I need a drink...
