There’s nothing new to report. My weight is holding steady at 155.6 lbs and has been for the last week and a half. I’m OK with that. As long as the number isn’t going up, I can deal. I’m still working on eating more vegetables. I don’t know why that’s such a difficult thing for…

Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. Did you watch the debate the other night? I did but that’s not what I want to talk about… What I want to talk about is the people who seem to have a hard time understanding that they cannot use their corporate Twitter accounts to say stupid stuff, it will cost them their jobs.…
Annie Laurie’s Antiques {Getting to Know Missouri}
Recently, I attended a presentation called “The Psychology of Now… In Retail and Fashion” by Lynn R. Moore. During the presentation, Lynn talked about current trends in retail and how people have shifted their thought from “I must have new” to “How can I reuse and/or recycle?” She talked about how people are thrifting more,…
Banned Books Week Review and Giveaway: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee {CLOSED}
I firmly believe in the right to free access to information. There are many books that I simply will not read for religious and/or personal reasons but I do not believe I have the right to ban those books from being read. If I censor your speech and your ideas, it’s just a matter of…
Things I’m Looking Forward to This Fall {About Me}
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but it never hurts to say it again, “I love sweater weather!” Fall is by far my favorite season of the year. I love snuggling up with cozy sweaters, eating comfort foods and watching my favorite TV shows. “Hell on Wheels“, anyone? But there are a few other things…
New Family Member {This or That Thursday}
A few weeks ago, our beloved dog, Squeekerz, ran away from home. To say the kids and I were devastated would be an understatement. For days, the kids and I would go outside calling his name, every time I drove to work, I’d look out my window to see if I saw him roaming the…
Autumn Flowers {Photography}
For the past two days I’ve been working evenings, so I’ve been at a loss as to what to do with myself during the day. Sleep is so not an option. I’m used to being up and moving. So I grabbed my camera and started snapping pictures of things around the house, but nothing inspired…
A New Line and a Deal from Shabby Apple {#nomorefrump}
This week, my friend Keisa, leanlibrarian on Instagram, has challenged me to ditch my sweats and flip flops in favor of actual clothing, makeup and combed hair. Even on days when I’m not leaving the house. You may think, oh that’s not so difficult but it is… But I’m one of those girls who only…

This is a repost and a link up with Passion for Fashion which is hosted by Lena B. from Lena B, Actually and Beth from Through the Eyes of the Mrs. Have I told you guys how much I heart boots? I mean I have a serious boot obsession. And not just when it comes…
