More Outfit Fails

I'm starting to wonder if I could turn this into a theme.

You know, like the throw back Thursdays, what I wore Wednesdays, and my personal favorite, the Sunday Song.

But instead of all those amazing bloggers who are gorgeous no matter what they're wearing, always have the most amazing clothes, and can make crappy light look "the hour," I would just focus on how bad my pictures are.

I think I'm coming up with something here. 

Go with me, here.  

I can't figure out if I'm just non photogenic, or if I actually just can't pull off the outfits.  I even did a fairly simple one in just a white sweater and jeans, and somehow I still look ridiculous.

But I am here to share my ridiculousness, and my possibly new idea.  Failure Fridays, because why would you want to feel good on a Friday?!

Sexiest car on the street goes to that little green thing coming up on the background...

Maybe one day, I'll learn the over the shoulder model thing?

I'm gonna just admit that I totally loved my hair this day, and am scared to admit that I'll probably never get it to look like this again.

Just oh Lord.

I hope everyone has a happy Valentine's Day and that your outfits don't come out as miserable failures!

Snow Day! Again...

While snow days equal fun for children, they don't so much equal the same amount of fun for adults.  When you're adult, your place of employment makes sure that you are 100% prepared for having to work from home.

All those damn responsible adults.  How did they all get put into one place?  

Last night, they were calling for just a little bit of snow.  But lo and behold, I look out the window and there is three inches (that's a lot down here folks!) of snow sitting on the ground!   No way!  Cut to the grabbing the jacket, scarf, boots and dog and I'm out playing in the white stuff!  It was good snow; the kind where you can make a bad ass snowball and throw it at the dog. 

Not animal abuse, people, she loved it.  This dog goes bananas in the snow!

But then the fun ends, and you come to the realization that you indeed are going to be holed up in the house for a whole day trying to work!  Oh, the distractions!!  But I made it through the day (barely), and even managed to take some pretty pictures this morning!  

I'm sure that having sweet pictures of a dog in snow is way better than children.

I'm also sure that I need a chiropractor after sitting the way I did all day.

Splashing the Back

This house has always deserved a back splash.

It's an older house that was built in 1957.  The people who lived here before us did an awesome job of updating the kitchen.  They bought all new stainless steel appliances, including an awesome microwave that I still haven't figured out even though I've lived here for almost five years.  The kitchen is probably the most awesome room in the whole house, so much so, that even when we were approached at a Home Depot and asked what would we change about our kitchen, we couldn't come up with a single thing.  

Except for the back splash which we were there buying tile for.

So a couple weekends ago, the back splash went in.  Here are a few pics of the loveliness that I get to look at in the kitchen every day now.

I so love this kitchen.  And doesn't the back splash look beautiful!  I love getting these home improvement knocked out!  I'm ready to put in the second bathroom.

That one is probably not going to happen for awhile.
