Ton of bricks

Today is one of those days where life is hitting me like a ton of bricks. How is it that I can go several days with absolutely nothing scheduled and then I end up with 3 things in one day that all kind of conflict...plus a little no fun news.

It's a beautiful day, life is good, and none of the things are really that big of a deal except I had completely forgotten about two of them until I came home to reminder emails...and they happen tomorrow! One is a LINKS presentation for Marines. Something I would have liked a little more prep time for because Marines are by far our hardest audience and I'm scared they'll have questions I can't answer. The other is our predeployment brief...or as I like to call it, the thing that happens that means my husband and love fo my life is leaving me for a long time and it's coming soon. Something I just don't want to think about.

The third thing that is happening is that my beautiful sister in law is coming to visit! I am so excited for her visit but am really bummed that her first day is going to be so crazy hectic. I guess it'll be a bit of a peak into our day to day.

Do you hear that racing sound? It's my heart. I'm starting to get that anxiety panicy thing that happens when I feel like I'm no longer controlling what is going on, so I think I will go take care of something I can control...the mess that is my house and the mountain of laundry. Maybe I can work on a little bit of my presentation to an audience of underwear. They always have the best critiques. :)

Oh, and I owe a bloggy friend some Shred time with Jillian...that sounds like the perfect way to forget about everything else!

Is it a ton of bricks, or a ton of feathers?

I hope you have a good day...busy is good...it keeps your mind off of things!

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
