What I Wore: Moody Blues

Monday, February 4, 2013

I consider myself to be one of those annoying people who's generally in a pretty good mood most of the time. It helps that I literally don't take anything seriously, ever, so not a lot really bugs me and I'm usually able to just slap on a happy face. In fact, I was voted "Most Likely to Brighten Your Day" in high school. Oh yeah, that's some high praise that I'll be clinging to way longer than is socially acceptable. I have a plaque somewhere.

But ugh, I always end up a huge grump come February. Suddenly, the snow that makes my teeny town charming and adorable becomes gross and slushy and my slate floors are covered in salt and I had to shovel the walk for the sole purpose of having pizza delivered on Friday. BOO to that, I say! So when LuLaRoe.com offered to sent me a bad mood-busting maxi skirt, I immediately picked out the brightest of the bunch.

Skirt: c/o LuLaRoe.com
Top: Local boutique (Bella Ella)
Jacket: Therapy -- yes, the brand is actually called Therapy and that makes me laugh.
Boots: Fryyyyyyes
Ring: Downeast
Earrings, which you can't even see: My nanny, which I should point out means my English grandmother, not anyone who takes care of my children. Or me.

I heart me some bright colors in February to boost my spirits and help me ignore the salt on my floor. Happy days! I also heart this skirt tooooo much. It's uber stretchy which means I could look like a lady but didn't have to sit like one WIN.Psst... check out the LulaRoe Facebook page for a coupon code.

And I'm sorry the pictures are overexposed. My dang 6 year old took them and left the flash on. Ugh, amateur.



Oh wait! I can see an earring in this one booyah! Also I feel like maxi skirts and leather jackets should always be together like Heidi and Spencer from The Hills. They just deserve each other.

I'm in a better mood today, thanks in part to bright skirts, sunshine and also to the fact that my hubby is having surgery today. Like, I'm not happy he's having surgery, that's sad. But seeing my straight-laced seriousperson husband on drugs should be pretty funny. The doc gave him anti-anxiety medicine to take a few hours before so we're going to be partying around here.

Now, name something that puts you in a good mood! If your answer is "my husband on anti-anxiety medication" we are probably soul mates.

Anything that offers drive through so I don't have to wrangle my three-year-old out of the car.

Myself on anti anxiety medication! Which is admittedly not unheard of. Sitting in a doctors office right now wishing I had that skirt! Waiting for the audiologist then the otolaryngologist again to please fix this blasted migraine/ear infection thing that had been eating my brain since Christmas! I think that earns me a new maxi skirt...right? Except it will have to wait until after the doctors bills have settled. I hate the beginning of the year.

Totally does, Janelle!
I'm mad because my husband's health problems have straddled a year. They started in November and will finally be fixed today so I get to pay the deductible twice yaaaaaay. That happened the last time we had something major too, boo! Stupid beginning of the year.

Nora YES. I used to think Drive Thru people were lazy but now I understand they're probably just moms. I love me a drive thru.

This is the second of 5 years where we managed to get past Feb 2 before hitting our $3k deductible. And to top it off? Turns out I've had two ER visits, two doctor's visits, two injections, two rounds of antibiotics, a round of (hallucination inducing) steroids, ALL for perhaps some ear infections, but what has ended up being diagnosed as TMJ. Freaking TMJ. Severe enough that the doc wants me to see a specialist physical therapist (which he never recommends because nobody will cover the cost and it's $$$). Plus 2 weeks of a no-chew diet (holy crap. Thank heavens for Dr Pepper!!!) plus ibuprofen, heat, self-face-massage (which just looks demented), etc.
I totally earned a new maxi skirt. And more anti-anxiety meds.

I'm a huge grump today!

One of the best days of my life was the day my husband had his wisdom teeth removed. He was higher than a kite. I took video footage, it was amazing.
I had to lock him in the car while I picked up his prescriptions, he couldn't figure out how to remove his seatbelt or open the door. So he tried getting out of the car through the hole in the dashboard where the stereo was supposed to be.
All the while I was watching and laughing at him from inside the pharmacy.

Telling you this just made my day a bit better!! Thanks!

Bahaha that story was alllll kinds of awesome. Wisdom teeth removal is the best for everyone who isn't the person having them removed.
