Hepburn and Houndstooth

There are times when I want to blog because I have so many random thoughts floating through my head.  However, a lot of those times, I can’t find a direction for a post.  Inspired by the “Ten on Tuesday” feature of The Bastows, I’m introducing Tuesday Ten.  Here I will just do a sort of brain dump of things on my mind or things happening in my world.

1. Anxiety is enveloping me today!  I am determined to go to cosmetology school in the fall and am on edge trying to figure out how to make that a reality.  Between that and looking for a job, I’m a damn mess!

2. Nick decided today that he wanted to go outside and start a leaf collection.  I went out to help him, only to find that he was taping a pile of dead, crumbly leaves onto his paper.  We took a walk around our property collecting different leaves and flowers and it was probably the highlight of my entire day.  That little boy is so smart and I love to have a conversation with him!

3. My two best friends are amazing women who stand by me no matter what.  They really get me and that is hard to come by.  Unfortunately, they also live in different states.  And… I’ve never met them.  That has to change really soon!  One of them lives in Alabama, so there is no excuse to not meet soon!

4. One of the best things I’ve done with my life is get married to my love of 3+ years, 18 days ago.  I feel so complete and I know that I am better for being his wife.

5. I am trying so hard to grow my hair out and it is absolutely killing me.  If I see someone with cute and sassy short hair, I think mine needs to be short.  Then I’ll see someone with long, flowing tresses and I know I’m doing the right thing by growing mine.  Any time I get the itch to chop, I pull up old pictures of me with longer hair.  It looks so much better that way!

6. Every day, I wake up and think, “This is the day I will start taking pictures of my outfits.”  And (almost) every day, I spend all day in my PJs.

7. I need to start spring cleaning.  Like, yesterday.  So I will start it tomorrow (right after I take a picture of my outfit. riiiight.).

8. One good thing about being unemployed (other than being able to stay in my PJs all day) is getting to spend more time with Harper.  Before, he was 100% a daddy’s boy.  They spent all their time together while I worked.  Now, I get in on the action and I’d say he’s 12% mine now!

9. I tend to take on too many projects and right now, I am finally going to admit it.  I am in over my head.  I can’t succeed at a billion things.  I need to pick a couple and do them really, REALLY well.

10. There is one thing I’d like more than just about anything right now and that’s a box of wine.  Yes, a box.  I need an entire box because I live in a dry county and I don’t know when I’ll make it to the store again! Also, Wine Cube chardonnay from Target is pretty good!
