Wednesday chatter

[amaranth]

I hope everyone and their husbands have better days today than yesterday!

Last night I did the first coat of color on our front door (after sealer and primer). I don't like it at all. I mean, it's better than the grossness of before, but still kind of ugly what a disappointment. I'm trying to post a pic to get feedback but having phone issues.

Also our new laundry detergent smells so amazingly clean I keep smelling my shirt like a lunatic.

amaranth - That's such a bummer that you don't like the color! Maybe it will look better after a second coat?

amaranth Post when you can. I want to see it.

[anyastroud]

bummer about your door. I haven't even talked to dh yet today.

[melsamoony]

I need to do laundry. I finally changed back to scented detergent but I can't decide if I like it.

I am having a super lazy day and loving every second of it.

Sorry you don't like your door colour amaranth

The Facebook news thing today says "Rowan Atkinson: Actor and wife of 24 years divorce on grounds of his 'unreasonable behaviour'", which is very sad. Divorce is never funny. But I still can't help cracking up at the thought of what his unreasonable behaviour is. Turkey on the head? Carrying a teddy bear around? The possibilities are endless!

Also, I need fashion help! Can I wear booties with a dress? I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and I don't know what shoes to wear. I have 800 pairs of sandal heels, but only one pair of wintery heels, and they're more church appropriate than wedding appropriate. But I have two pairs of booties that are more formal, but I don't know if people wear them with dresses?

amaranth- Hoping the color looks a lot better after a second coat! I know when I stained our bathroom cabinets they didn't really look great until we were 3 coats in (which is what was recommended for staining). ((hugs)) that is really frustrating

melsamoony- Enjoy your lazy day!!

DH has caught our cold I was finally trying to sleep in our bed (at least til dream feed time) two nights ago and that ended last night when he was keeping me up with his coughing, clearing throat, etc. C was up a ton again last night too so I'm exhausted. Good news is that he couldn't nurse because he was so congested (I saline/suctioned and still couldn't get him to so I finally gave up)...so here's the good news- he slept like normal! I think it's time to drop that feed so I can finally start getting some good sleep and feeling normal again!

Not much planned for today...need to go to the grocery store, might treat myself to a Starbucks, and DH asked me to rake the leaves in our front yard. And a walk sometime this afternoon when it's cooler outside! Oh, and making flatbread pizzas for dinner!

amaranth Sorry you don't like the door - but I bet it is nicer than you think!
katiek You can definitely wear booties with a dress. I like the style best with tights and a wedge-heeled bootie. There are tons of cute inspiration photos in google image search.

I woke up extremely grumpy today, but now I'm feeling much more cheerful. That's all my news for the day lol.

[amaranth]

katiek I'm not a bootie person in general, but lots of people mix them and I think that so long as the specific bootie style compliments the dress, you're okay. Maybe post pics of them and we can ascertain? I'm sure katespade could lend an honest opinion since she wears booties a lot.

Please see my OOTD post from yesterday for my opinion on booties with dresses.

I'm so bored. I have a trainee again today at work so I'm pretty much just here and he is doing at the work. I'm almost looking forward to tomorrow so I can actually do patient care instead of just standing in the background.

I went back to bed after getting E ready this morning but since I got distracted by my phone I didn't get out of bed until like 11:30, haha. But the good thing is I was super productive! So far I put 2 loads of laundry in, picked up the living room, vacuumed the living room, did some dishes, and put a bunch of clothes away. I've been taking a break for a bit but the dryer just buzzed. This is way more than I normally do on my day off so I'm feeling pretty good!

I cleaned all morning. I'm relaxing now. My back went out of alignment again. I stretched a bunch and got it better but trying to take it easy. I have a chiropractor appointment beginning of next week so trying to last until then.

MIL came by earlier. She stayed through lunch. It was okay but i.always get thrown when someone is here during lunch. It's such a nice time for DH and me to catch up while G is playing.

[katiek]

Thanks for the fashion advice, guys! I might make a new thread tomorrow with my options. They are very limited, but you are all more stylish than me, haha.

I had today off, which was lovely.  I was pretty lazy but got a few chores done.  I just spent an hour deleting stuff from my phone because I'm almost out of storage, which made me so annoyed.  Why do music and photos take up so much space?! Grr.

Ya'll I just thought I would share.. my BFF is the jam. seriously, the cat's pajamas.  She was just here in Ohio 3 weeks ago. She went home  we've spent an obscene amounts of time together on the phone. I love her to death!!!
