Week in Review

The weather this week has been bi-polar. One day it is like Spring and the next day it is like Winter again. I think the Sun has finally been out long enough for me to get some Vitamin D. I actually caught myself smiling and feeling happy. I didn't realize it until I looked at my pictures. I am trying out my $1 finds from Community Aid.

Winter day outfit

Maxi skirt $1

Suede fringe belt $1

Sweater retail clearance $6

Spring day outfit

Frock $1

Sweater $1.25

I used the same wood necklace with both outfits. A relic left from the 70's during my Bohemian period.

Here are some of the highlights of this week...

I found my button box.

The crocuses started blooming

I found a whole bag of earrings for $3 at the Charity Shop

(I rinsed them in alcohol to sterilize since some were pierced)

My husband and Number 3 son got fitted for their tuxes for my Number 1 son's June wedding.



Looking forward to more of this...

Contemplating my Future

Hi all! It's been ages since I've posted. I am trying to get used to being home all day. I've been plenty busy trying to get my unemployment in place. I've put in dozens of resumes, but no response yet. I am really trying to figure out what I want to do. Winter in Central Pennsylvania can be pretty gloomy. With everything so brown and leafless, you can almost see the cold. Today the sun was shining so I thought this is a good day to get back into the blogosphere.

This is the view from my back deck. I think we have the best piece of property in the whole town.

I've been keeping busy, baking and attempting to finish the baby blanket I've been working on for a year. My crocheting skills are lacking but I am determined to finish it!

I don't have a lot of pictures of myself because I'm still trying to work out that schedule. I do make sure I dress everyday and not get lazy and fall into the sweat suit trap. That is way too easy to do when you are not going out every day.

I am doing well with my spirits although not so well with my weight. Despite exercising and walking, being home is packing on the pounds. I am going to a Wii party with K tonight. We try to do this at least once a week to have some "fun" exercise.

I did indulge in a "job hunting" haircut.

Andrew gave up his "Flock of Seagulls" haircut for a job hunting cut too...

Of course, I still think he is lovely with his haircut...but I am his mother.

All in all, things have been pretty boring. Which is why I really did not post anything for a while.
