100 a little update from the delicious one

I'm not trying to brag or anything, but yes it's true ... I'm still bald. Since we spoke last, I've continued to use my double chins and debonaire eyebrow demonstrations to my advantage. And let me tell you, it's going well. These days, I've been doing my best to supervise mom's cooking in the kitchen from my Bumbo chair. So let it go on record that I tried people. I tried. I've also been chewing on Sophie and most of my other stuffed friends, occasionally shooting myself right in the eye with ... er ... we'll call it water, befriending myself {sometimes you just need to hold your own hands}, singing the big hits like You Are My Sunshine, and generally being awesome. Also, I've got mom convinced that I'm going to laugh any day now ... but between you and me, I'm gonna hold out for just a little longer. If you saw the stuff she does to get it out of me ... man, you'd wait too. Where's a video camera when you need one, am I right?
Anyway. I'm off to go curl up in a blanket and eat. I feel a new leg roll coming on.

164 tick tock tick tock

Shoes: Nine West, Jeans: F21, Top: Thrifted, Jacket: c/o Hatch Collection, Lipstick: NARS Heatwave, Glasses: c/o Windsor, Hair: this tutorial

To get the full effect of the bunch of baloney I'm about to tell you {full disclosure: your grandma and I are teaming up to bring "That's Baloney!" back as an expression} you must go back to the title and read it with ... I don't know ... about a 1 second pause in between each word.
Now you're ready.
So here's something weird. Apparently I only care about knowing the time in the mornings and the evenings. It seems I've recently developed an extraordinary knack for looking at the clock at exactly 9:11 every. single. day. Every day man! So I tell Tyson about it and he's all ... hm. weird. where's Everett? But inside I'm all !!!!!!!! What does it mean universe??
It's got to mean something terrible doesn't it? Like a parking ticket omen ...

141 a few snapshots from sunday

Some days can be kind of crappy. Maxed out, patience lost, sleep deprived, crying crappy. But then comes along a day like Sunday. And it's sunny out. And I have these two boys to myself all day. And it's sunny out. {The sun gets big points with me} And it's a really really really good day.
Love it when that happens.

the mama and the boy with the iron grip

160 just the two of us

Boots: Vince Camuto, Leather leggings:c/o Windsor, Top: c/o Windsor, camera bag: c/o THEIT

This is what I wore out on a date with my man on Saturday night. A date! Which I'm trying to be cool about and not make a big deal of. But in my head it's like a BIG DEAL in bright neon lights that flash and stuff. It was the first time we've been out on our own in three months. And it was like boom boom pow you know what I mean? There was movie candy and big laughs and four free arms and pants that don't have fleece linings. Followed by a very happy pink lipstick kiss reunion with our baby boy who couldn't take his eyes off daddy. Those two melt me, man. (Thanks Tyler and Laura for giving us a night to ourselves!)

We're talking about weekend wardrobes over here if you'd like to see!

22 happy birthday caytlyn!

From the years of the matching outfits to the years of the matching braces to even more years of supreme awkwardness, I'm so glad I've had you as my sister along the way. You have (and have always had) so many qualities and talents that I admire and respect and wish that I could call my own. You're the best! I'm so excited to watch our own little families grow together. Love you so much and happy birthday!!

I've probably been way out of the loop here, but I just discovered 90-year-old Iris Apfel through this lovely article and I am in love with her. Look how fabulous she is! At ninety! Beauty and personal style truly have no age limit. Dear Iris, I think you are my dream date. Please let me take you to lunch?
