Melissa Button Frye Boots Look alike

It has been a really really long time since I posted any potty pics.   If you all know me, you know I love a good deal so I thought I'd share.  

I really really like the Melissa Button Frye Boots, but $330 isn't in the budget for boots :)  So I started searching for the next best thing.  No one seemed to have just the simple boots that I wanted.  I don't like a lot of heal or frills or anything.  So I almost gave up.  One day I just searched for some look alikes and I found them!!  And guess who came through with them?  TARGET!!!!  They are $70 and I'd say that's a steal compared to $330.  

Pardon my outfit...Boots and shorts aren't my thing.  I was just excited that they had finally come in the mail!  (If boots and shorts are your thing, I'm impressed.  I'm just not that cool.)

I like them even more than I thought I would.  They are the perfect color and they fit great!  I hate to say it, but now I can't wait for fall!!  I've been trying to stay away from wishing the summer weather away, but oh well!

I usually wear a 7-7.5.  I ordered a 7 and they are perfect.  

So there you go...a perfect look alike :)

I thought I'd give a few little updates as well.  This chair is going in the Market as soon as I'm done with the new upholstery.

Here's it's current status :)

Stripes make me happy!  

And here is a little something MR.P made for our 5 year anniversary!

I cannot even begin to express how much it meant to me that he MADE this for ME!  Seriously sweet husband :)  I love it!  

It's at the foot of our bed and it's perfect.  Be on the lookout for a special blog post from MR.P.  If you missed his first one it was a hoot.  

Here's the other side of the room, just for perspective :)

This is a special chair.  It's my grandparent's old chair and I absolutely love it. I had plans to recover it, but once I put it in our room I realized how much I liked the fabric.  It goes with our room soo well without being too matchy matchy (my biggest fear, yet what I accidentally do all the time).  

So there you have it.  All in a days work around here!

Oh and don't forget to enter the giveaway here!

Pinterest Saved Me Money

Everyone loves Pinterest. I myself was a bit skeptical at first because everyone said they were addicted. So I refrained for a while.  I joined when my friend Maggie sent me an invitation.  Thankfully I have not become addicted, but it has been really fun and enjoyable!  

Anyway, to my point.  Pinterest has saved me money!  I have not bought clothes in a good long while.  I've even cleaned out my closet and gotten rid of a few bag fulls.  I had a lot of things that I didn't love...thought I would like if I lost a few pounds...or if I had the right accessories.  You get the gist!  So I got rid of everything that didn't fit well or I didn't absolutely love.  Now my closet is easier to sort through and decide what to wear.  

I, like everyone else, still have a hard time becoming creative and assume I need more clothes.  So I went to Pinterest and searched "Fashion" & "J.Crew" (my favorite style).  I found a variety of different options with clothes that I already own!  Searching through Pinterest really helped me to the find ideas though.  In the past I have dog eared magazine pages or ripped them out, etc.  Using Pinterest helped me to organize them all into one spot!  So now, if I can't finding anything to wear, I just pull up my Pinterest App on my iphone and go to my "Fashion" Board and it helps me use what I already have!  

Using Pinterest not only helps me to figure out more options for everyday wear, but it also made me thankful for what I have, which is something I definitely struggle with.  I love clothes and it's hard not to worship them and think they will make me happy.  I have been reminded, as of late, that my significance is in Christ alone and NOTHING else.  Not my family, not my home, and definitely not what I wear.  God is Enough for me!!!!  

But, here are a few options I found that are helping me use what I have to create something different!

I already own some very wide leg jeans, a cute purple floral shirt, and a fun jacket.  I know, this is so simple, but I just never thought to wear the shirt and jacket together!  I think I'd add my cowgirl boots for a little something :)

I have a gray pair of pants that tie in the front.  I can wear a cute coral striped shirt tucked in. Again, I never thought of it! I just need to get my pants hemmed so I will wear them more often :)

I have a great black turtle neck and a flowy skirt that I've never thought to pair like this.  A brown thick belt could add a little dimension.  Either heals for a date night or ballet flats for everyday wear :)  Not sure I really need all the ribbon though!

This is similar on top to the first outfit that I posted. But the skinny cropped pants give it a cleaner/preppier look.  I bought some navy cropped pants a few years ago for $20 at J.Crew.  I wear them with a lot, but never thought of this.  I also have a jacket similar to this I got for $8.  Total score that was worth every penny!  I wear it all the time :)

So anyway, Pinterest made me thankful for what I have and saved me money!  Hope it can help you get inspired to use what you have in your closet :)

What I Wore...

No, It's not Wednesday, but I thought I'd share anyway.  I hadn't shared any "What I Wore" posts in a while :) Plus, I bet y'all miss the potty pics :)

One day, I will buy a mirror for my bedroom, but for now, I use the guest bathroom and stand on the potty. I'll take what I've got!

The breakdown:  I wore this to church on Sunday. Our church is pretty casual.

Shirt: Old Navy this past season.  It's one of my favorites right now!  It's on sale, so buy it fast!!

Silver belt: I got this from Ann Taylor Loft a few years ago on clearance for $10.  It's similar to this one.

Flower: this is a Stella & Dot flower that I wear all the time.  I use it in my hair, on my belts, and on my shirts. It really adds a fun little pop to most of my outfits!  They don't have this flower anymore, but here are some similar ones.  

Jeans:  I got these jeans from Gap for $17. I had a gift card, so it was guilt free shopping!  Similar to these.

Shoes:  Target suede wedges in gray.  This style, but I don't see this color online.  I've seen them in the stores though :)

The weather here in the South has stayed in the 60s for the past few weeks, which has been nice. But it does require me to be a little creative with my outfits. I hate thinking too long for what I have to wear. Oh well...I'll make the sacrifice for the spring like weather!  Oh! I almost forgot. Today is my birthday :) I am now 27!  Anyway, happy Monday to y'all. I am going to lunch with my mom to celebrate then the MR. is making me dinner tonight. I wonder what Smith will do to celebrate his momma??  ;)

Guest Post: Sarah from "For the Love"

Happy Monday morning friends.  I found a new friend and am soo excited to introduce you!  Sarah has a blog called For the Love. This is where she shares her talent for finding great fashion for unbelievable prices!  So I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have her do a little guest post.  I think she and I will be great friends since our passions are so similar.  Welcome Sarah!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I'm Sarah. It's so nice to meet you! I'm excited and honored to be guest blogging for Beth here at Design A Peele. I recently found her blog, and I was instantly drawn to her "thrift A Peele." My blog is called For the Love, because I have love for a lot for a lot of things. I frequently blog about frugal fashion finds in a series I call "Really Frugal Fashion." I'm nearly addicted to putting together trendy and fashionable outfits on a Really Frugal budget. I'd love to show you some of my recent outfit details, and share a few tips.

In August I had a big wedding to attend. I wanted to find a unique and classy dress, and I didn't want to spend very much cash. My husband gave me a budget, so I searched in some of my favorite retail stores and didn't have much luck. The DAY BEFORE the wedding I decided to browse the dress section at the D.I. which is our local donation center. I found this vintage dress for $6 and couldn't pass it up! The shoes are Target and were also purchased for around $6 at the D.I. I got so many compliments on my dress, and couldn't help but beam over the fabulous deal! If there's something I've learned about thrift shopping for clothing, it's that there are so many more unique options available.

This was an outfit I put together for church. The top is from the Gap outlet, the belt from Target, the skirt is handmade. I picked it up from the D.I. for around $5, the shoes are from a local auction retailer. They usually retail at $90 but I scored them on sale for $15. The necklace is vintage and cost me all of 50 cents. My tip would be to invest in some well made classic pieces that you can add to thrifted outfits to make them look all the more put together. The Target belt cost me a little more than the thrifted belts I generally buy for a couple dollars, but I wear it all the time. It goes with everything.

Another tip I can offer is to check magazines and online for trends before heading out to the thrift store. That way you can keep your eyes peeled for items that are a current big trend. I recently read this article on cowgirl ankle boots, and then found these ankle boots for $4 at the D.I.

And just for fun, don't forget to check for good deals for the kiddos! I recently found these:

for $4. You can read more about these, and all of my Frugal Fashion finds on my blog. Please stop by and say hello! Feel free to email me with any questions too. I'd love to hear from you! Thanks again for having me Beth!

Moccasins

Ok, I started a love for moccasins about 5 years ago.  I had a pair in college, but my mom thought they were so ugly that she bought me a pair of Sperrys instead.  Which I still have and still love :)

But it never really got rid of my love for moccasins.  I bought a pair at Target 2 years ago, but the stitching started to come out.  Which makes me really sad.  Now that I am writing this, I'll probably just take a needle and thread and fix it...anyway, not sure why I didn't think of that before.  It's amazing what writing will help you think through!  Back to my point.  Moccasins go with everything in the fall.  That and a pair of loafers ;)

Here's what I wear all during the fall...with my moccasins or loafers! (When I'm not wearing this...I wear it all the dang time!)

When shopping for moccasins I prefer to find a very talored pair that can be casual, but doesn't make me feel frumpy.  But, that's just me :)  No matter what I am wearing, I do NOT like to feel frumpy.  I love layering in the fall.  When I go into work I wear all of this, but by the end of the day it's hot again so it's nice to have options.  Then once I get home I can throw on a pair of jeans and I'm ready to go!  Or I could even put a pair of boots on to dress things up a bit instead of jeans.  I guess it just depends on the occasion. 

I love putting outfits together like this because it helps me look at my closet with a different eye.  Instead of feeling like I need more clothes, it helps me see what I already have :)  Shop your own closet more often.  Keep it cleaned out so you can see your options and don't feel overwhelmed and feel like you have no clothes :)



What I Wore Wednesday

I am linking up to The Pleated poppy!

This week I've got 2 outfits for ya.  I haven't gotten the hang out taking pictures every single day.  So I guess you'll take what you can get ;)  Still need that full length mirror in my bathroom.  Then you'll be able to see my cute black and white tile.  Makes me smile when I see it every morning.

Tuesday - I wore this to work.  I was meeting a friend for coffee after work and thought I would still be comfortable.  Turns out I wasn't.  I had MR.P bring me some clothes ;)

Shirt - my friend Jenn gave this shirt to me.  It's really cute.  I could take the sweater off and be ready for a date night with MR.P! 

Sweater - Ann Taylor Loft a few years ago.  It's held up well.  I have been impressed!

Jeans - Seven A pocket jeans.  My friend Jenn also gave me these.  Love them.  I probably wear them a little too often.

Shoes - Nine West outlet last year.  They are the perfect black shoe.  They are actually a round ballet shoe with a great wedge.  I wear them all the time in the fall and winter.

Wednesday - I wore this to work aslo! 

Shirt - Target t-shirt.  looks and feels just like the j.crew ones. 

Skirt - Target.  I got this last year.  I love the ruffles! They make any t-shirt look cute! 

Belt - borrowed from my mom.  She wasn't using it so she let me have it for a while. 

Shoes - Tori Burch - given to me by a friend

Alright. So I promised that I wouldn't buy any clothes or anything for our house this month. BUT, I was hoping y'all could help me out with this bathroom.  You've seen a few pics of it and it really needs some help.  If this was your bathroom, what would you do?  It needs to be on the cheap side of things.  I am definitely open to keeping the same color (sage green) and even doing a stencil.  But I need advice! HELP!

What I Wore Wednesday

Linking up to The Pleated Poppy!
Ok, so again I forgot to take pics of what I wore this week, so I thought I'd post what I wore today!  It's tough to remember to take pics.  I don't have a full length mirror in our master bath so I have to go upstairs and take my pics on the potty.  Lovely isn't it?

I wore this to work.  All my clothes are for work unless its the weekend.

Gray tank - I got this at the Gap outlet on our vacation.  Love it.  It's light weight and not fitted.  $5

Pink Cardigan - I also got this on our vacation this summer.  It's from the kids dept at Target. $5

White pants - Gap last season.  They are actually a white denim.  I love them!  They don't get wrinkled as badly as a white kakhi pants. 

Shoes - J.Cew outlet. You can't see them.  They are just a plain silver strap sandal.  I have worn them to death this summer.  They were a gift from my mom for my bday. 

I usually try to wear things like this to work so I am comfortable and can wear the clothes all day if needed...like if the Mr. surprises me and takes me on a date...hint, hint ;)

Update to the office coming!

What I wore!

I decided I really like the what I wore Wednesdays over @ The Pleated Poppy.  But I forgot to take pics every day.  I managed 2 days so that's what I'm going to post.

Wednesday:

and with the jacket tied in front.

Ruffle Jacket - J.Crew outlet - 60% off ( I never pay full price for any clothes)

Navy t-shirt - J.Crew outlet - $5

Skirt - Target

Watch - Target (love it!)

Shoes - Tori Burch...my friend Savannah pretty much just gave them to me because they didn't fit her ;)  Lucky me!

I really like each of these items because I can mix and match with other things.  Everything can carry into the fall as well.  I like for my clothes to work for me and not limit me to seasons!

Friday:

(You look tired Beth.  Get some sleep!!)

Jacket - Gap outlet for $8.  (had been eyeing this since last season and finally found one at the right price!)

Green tank top - Gap outlet - $5 (it's not fitted and has a little pocket on the left hand side.  LOVE non fitted things!)

Jeans - Seven A-pocket Jeans - my friend Jenn gave them to me!  They just happen to fit perfectly :)

Watch - Target

Shoes - Target.  They are a little wedge so perfect for work!

Nail polish - just in case you are wondering, this is the nail polish I won from this giveaway!  I really like it.  It will be perfect for fall!  I don't normally wear nail polish on my fingers, but this one I liked too much not to try!

So remember when I posted about hairstyles that help me not to go chop it off??  Yeah, they didn't help.  I chopped it off if you can't tell ;)

Anway, I am happy for the weekend to be here!  I am hanging out with one of my absolutely precious friends, Joy! 

We've been friends since 7th grade.  Although, we met in 2nd ;)  We are having lunch, then heading to Ikea for the day.  I can't wait! 

If I were going to buy a new outfit this is what it'd be!

If I were going shopping today, this is what I would buy.  I love wearing jeans with cute flats and a t-shirt.  It's one of my favorite looks!  Even during the summer.

Seven for All Mankind Dojo Jeans - these jeans are flattering on most body types.  I like to have a long pair to wear with wedges and a short pair to wear with flats.  I currently only have a short pair to wear with flats, and they are from Gap ;)  They are actually a great fit and I wear them often.  You can also find them at special T.J. Maxx stores and Off 5th Avenue.

Pale Yellow Flats from J.Crew - I don't usually buy expensive shoes, but I do love to find a good deal on quality shoes.  If these were on sale for $20 I probably wouldn't blink an eye ;)

AWESOME earrings - These are currently sold out, but they are amazing!!  I'd probably use these from Stella & Dot that I already have! They pretty much go with everything!

Striped t-shirt - I found this one in crew cuts onsale for $23.  But I found one at Target a few weeks ago for $8.99!  So I guess I wouldn't have to buy the whole outfit ;)

This outfit looks happy and fun to me!  You could dress it up with some cute wedges too!

The Romper

Ok, so I finally convinced myself to tell a story about a romper I was had.  When I first saw the romper was coming back into style, memories of my past came flashing back to me.  It was not a pretty sight. 

When you see these rombers you think, "Oh so cute!" or "oh so flattering!"

But what you don't think is, "what if this suit thing has a ton of buttons and is really difficult to get off quickly?"

When I was about 8 years old (quite embarrassing to tell this story) I was wearing this cute light denim romper.  It had a pink and white striped shirt underneith and the romper attached to the top of the shirt with 2 buttons on each side.  To make matters worse, it also had 4 buttons as a fly.  This was one TOUGH outfit to wear.  But oh SOO CUTE!  I couldn't help but wear it quite often.  One sad day I was wearing it and had to go to the bathroom SOOOOO bad.  This story did not end well.  I ended up wetting my pants.  To make matters worse my sister Laura was there and so was my friend Bonnie.  I'm pretty sure they were NOT sweet about it.  To this day I have been a little afraid to buy a romper.  Ok, so that's my most embarrassing moment.  What about your's??

What I Wore All Week - Friday

As you all know, I headed to Hilton Head with my friend Anna on Thursday night!  We had a bit of a rough road trip.  First the GPS decided not to work.  The battery was dying.  Then her iphone was running out of battery.  But, not to fear...we still had my iphone.  10 minutes later mine decided it would die too!!  So thankfully we found a safe gas station and plugged the phones in.  By the time we got there we were quite ready to see our men!  It was so nice to see our husbands! 

On Friday I wore this:

* Old Navy bathing suit while on the beach - I have been searching for a cute tankini for about 2 years now.  This is the first one I actually like!!  I bought a few pair of printed bottoms to go with it!

Then because I can't wear a bathing suit out to eat I changed for dinner :)

*J.Crew cardigan - bday present while shopping with my mom.

*Gap green tank top - bday present a few years ago while shopping with my mom.

* J.Crew navy shorts - bought those a few years ago on sale for $20.  Good deal for J.Crew shorts.  They are my fav bc they are like a burmuda short, but shorter!

* Jasmine Filigree Earrings - from my Stella & Dot Collection.  I wear these earrings ALL the time!

MR.P and I had a great time in Hilton Head.  I am so blessed to be able to go visit him while he is on a work trip.  Thankful for a company that promotes family time!! 

After Anna and I got there we all went straight to bed.  We got there around 12:30 so the boys were definitely tired.  The guys had to work on Friday, so Anna and I enjoyed some beach and pool time.  I felt so spoiled to be at the beach on a work day!  I live such a plush life ;) 

On Saturday we just enjoyed the beach and the pool again.  Then we headed to the outlets and then we cooked out.  It was a nice relaxing night.  We also threw in an episode of Lost that we all missed and 2 episodes of Friends.  We're all big fans. 

Sunday, Matt and I ventured out to the golf tournament, The Heritage.  It was so fun to enjoy things that MR.P loves.  To be honest, we usually do my fav things and not a ton of what he loves.  I challenged myself to be a little more selfless and think about what he needs.  And we had a GREAT time!  We even had a date afterwards to The Salty Dog Cafe!!

Then, sadly, once we got back, Anna and I had to be on our way home.  The drive home was great though.  Fast, easy, and painless.  We even got ourselves a Jamocha milkshake from Arbys...nice way to end the trip! 

What I Wore All Week - Thursday

Today has been super busy and STILL IS!!  I didn't have time this morning or afternoon to take a pic.  So I ran into the bathroom at work and took this one :)

* Jacket is from J.Crew outlet at 40% off. 

*t-shirt is also J.Crew outlet for $5.

* Necklace - Stella & Dot

* Jeans

Tooo much to do today!  I am heading to Hilton Head to see MR.P who is there for work.  Hope everyone has a great weekend! 

What I Wore All Week - Wednesday!

I know you've all been biting your nails waiting for me to post ;)  I tried taking a picture this morning, but my lighting in the bathroom on the potty just wasn't working for me.  I guess that's what I get for just using my iphone all the time...oh and standing on the toilet.

So instead of trying again at home I went to try on a pair of jeans and realized I could use their mirror!!  I have wanted a new pair of sevens.  So I ran to Off Fifth where they sell them for really discounted prices.  I found the perfect pair.  Then I used this discussion to talk myself out of it. 

Me:  Do you really need these?

Me:  Nope, not one bit.  Just want them.

Me:  Ok, so decide.  Do you want a baby or jeans? 

Me:  You're right.  I want a baby way more. (referring to saving money for the adoption fees)

So I proudly walked out without them.  It was TOUGH though.  I LOVE me some jeans.  Especially sevens!

So here's the outfit for today. 

* The necklace is from my Stella & Dot Collection.  Wear this sucker all the time.

* The t-shirt is from the gap outlet about 3 years ago.  I got it for $5. 

* The jacket is also from the gap outlet.  I ended up getting a whole searsucker suit for $30.  I guess I just REALLY like searsucker. 

* The jeans are from gap 3 years ago. 

* The shoes...well, we just won't go there again ;)

What I Wore All Week - Tuesday!

So this is todays outfit.  Confession - this is definitely a go to outfit for me (I wore it on Sunday too!)

I mean its so easy to grab.  Navy t-shirt from J.Crew outlet for $5 and my navy searsucker pants (yep, searsucker 2 days in a row!  Gasp!)  My shoes are from The loft about 3 years ago.  I think I got them on sale for $20.  That's a steal for a pair of wedges with an ankle strap.  Yeah, I usually need ankle straps on my wedges so that I don't break my ankes.  I am not so good with heals ;)

What I Wore All Week - MONDAY

So Lindsey Cheney of The Pleated Poppy did a post on what she wore all week long.   I loved how real she was!  I decided to join in.  Now she is a stay at home mom and has the freedom to dress casual.  I do not have that same freedom sadly.  But, it's ok!  I make sure to wear really comfortable clothes in order to feel casual!

I'm being real with you by doing 2 things:

1.)  I am standing on a toilet...how much more real do you want me to be??

2.) I took this AFTER work.  That means the make up has faded away and the hair has totally gone flat.  

The skirt is about 5 years old.  It's red searsucker, which I am a major sucker for!  Definitely got this on sale.  Can't remember deals from 5 years ago though.

The shirt was a b-day present from my mom.  It goes with everything.  Navy turtleneck with short sleeves is a definite wardrobe essential for me.  FREE :)

The belt I got for $15 last year.  Worth every penny.  I have started wearing it with everything!

Shoes were practically free from my friend Savannah!  

Stay tuned for tomorrow.

My small sense of fashion

I don't claim to be a great fashionista.  I have other friends for that.  But, I do appreciate and love nice, clean fashion.  Nothing too trendy for me please.  In saying that, there are a few things I bought over the last year that have made me feel that I have WAY more clothes than I actually do.

Thick brown braided belt - I got mine from T.J. Maxx for $15 - total steal in my book!

(lands end)

I know sometimes its easier to just buy something you see in the store for full price.  But in the case of accessories I think its totally worth it to wait and find exactly what you want at the price you are willing to pay. 

My brown belt has really changed up a TON of my clothes. 

 High wasted skirt  - I got a navy high wasted skirt from the J.Crew outlet for $30.

(J.Crew)

I have been so surprised that I could wear almost everything I own with it!  I can throw on my jean jacket with it and some cute flats.  I can use my brown belt to add a little style to it.  I just LOVE the high wasted skirt these days.  It can be dressy and even casual.  It's a nice little addition to my wardrobe. 

Alright, so lastly I think that jewelry is a HUGE addition to my wardrobe.  I have never had fun jewelry that would spice up anything I was wearing.  It really makes your clothes go farther.  Jewelry even makes me feel like I have MORE clothes than I really do.

These are my favs that I have worn non stop lately!

(Byblos Chandelier Necklace)

This really takes on any color you are wearing!

(Sofia Pearl Bib Necklace)

And this one can go with anything as well.  I wore it with a t-shirt the other day.  It just really makes me feel put together!  Then to church I wore it with a dress.  I also think that it would look beautiful with a simple wedding dress or rehearsal dinner dress.  My friend Bonnie is going to possibly get it for her wedding this coming summer!

So, when it comes down to it, I like for my clothes and accessories to work with me.  I don't go for all the trends.  But, I do like simple little things that make my wardrobe stretch a little farther!  Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Bday shopping with my mom!

Every year my mom takes me shopping for my birthday.  Soo sweet of her!  She has done this since I was little and I love it.  It's really one of the only times I get with just my mom...that's huge in a BIG family!  I love where my birthday lands because I am able to get some good spring items to help out my wardrobe.  I chose to go shopping at the outlets this time.  I feel like the prices are so much better.  So we hit up J.Crew first.  My absolute fav :)

I made a list of everything I had been wanting so that I didn't vere when I saw pretty things (quite easy to do).

I wanted a high wasted skirt. J.Crew outlet had a great simple navy one that can be dressy or casual.  It looks somewhat similar to this one, but its navy and doesn't have the pleat down the front.  It also is not this short.  It's the perfect length for work and play!  I like my clothes to work in all the situations in my life :)

I got a navy and white thick striped cardigan to go with it.  I am learning to buy clothes in "outfits" instead of just pieces.  I think its similar to one from last season.  So sorry, no picture :(

I also found my fav pair of shoes on sale for $25 at J.Crew outlet.  In the store they are $89ish.  Score!!

These are similar, but not exactly the same.  Mine are flatter and silver!

I got a few other things, but that's not what the post is about.  I really wanted to talk about making a list before you go shopping.  It really helps to keep you focused on what you need for your wardrobe.  It's easy to get side tracked.  I like to add pieces that make clothes I already have go farther/look different.

 So that's what I focused on for this shopping trip.  I was glad I didn't let myself just buy things I liked.  We bought what I needed for Spring!  Let's not even mention that I usually spend more than I planned if I don't make a list :(  

Speaking of spring.   I am struggling.  I am so ready for Spring to be here and feel myself complaining about it a lot.  I don't want to be in a bad mood every day until then.  So I am trying, but its tough.  Especially when the winds in Atlanta have been aweful!!!  Makes no sense to even fix your hair in the morning!  The wind would probably dry it right up once I walk out the door.  Oh well.  I guess that's why I am rocking the bun look today ;)

So glad it's the weekend.  MR.P and I are babysitting tonight for some sweet girls.  Then tomorrow I am having birthday lunch with my mom and sisters.  Then we are headed to Athens for a fun birthday weekend!  We are pretty excited about that.  We LOVE Athens.  Have a happy weekend!
