What’s In My Purse!

I’ve always been fascinated by what people carry in their purse.  I don’t know why; most of it probably isn’t that exciting.  But there always seems to be that one random thing in there that you can’t explain or if you can there’s a really weird story behind it and it’s just amusing to me.

What can I say?  Weird things entertain me.

So, I was actually cleaning out my purse over the weekend (something I don’t do NEARLY enough) and I decided to reveal my oddness including that one random thing that I can’t figure out how the hell or why the hell it’s in my purse.  (You’ll probably figure out which item I’m talking about in about 2 seconds.)

*So, I am aware that my site keeps crashing/not loading.  I’m working with my site host, but they think it’s more on WordPress’s side….soooo…I’m frustrated, too.  I apologize for any issues you may be having accessing anything right now.

*Most of our wedding invitations went out this week!  That’s super exciting; I can’t believe we’re at 70 days.  A little anxiety is starting to kick in; hopefully we don’t have any huge hiccups anywhere.

*Mother Nature is annoying me.  Apparently we’re just skipping spring and going back and forth between winter and summer.  It’s been 80 degrees for the past two days and today it’s 45 and rainy.  I don’t understand or like this weather.  I typically like Maryland because we actually have all four seasons when they are supposed to happen.  If I wanted to live somewhere with two seasons I’d move either far north or far south.

*I have a dentist appointment this week and I hate the dentist so much.  Part of me is like, I should reschedule…but….ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat.  So, I’ll go…and be annoyed by it.

*I got our house obscenely clean over spring break, so now I’m kind of obsessed with keeping it that way.  Luckily, Devon is good at helping with that (it’s probably more just so I don’t yell at him for being messy).  I’ve noticed he has a tendency to take his cues from me when it comes to maintaining the house.  When I’m being lazy about it; he does the same.  When I’m being obsessive over it; he’s usually a lot better, too.  It’s not exactly helpful most of the time, but currently I’m appreciative of it.

*I’m out in the living room working on this and some work and Devon is in the office working and he just came out, randomly gave me a kiss, and went back in the office.  I asked him what that was for; he’s like “meh, just felt like it”.  It was cute.  He’s not that cute that often….I wonder what horrible thing he did……(I’m only semi-joking).

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! 

Spring 2018 FabFitFun Unboxing

It’s FabFitFun time!  My Spring box is here and, as always, I’m super excited to share with you!

If you are unfamiliar with the FabFitFun seasonal beauty/health/wellness subscription boxes, you can search “FabFitFun” here on my blog and I have older posts that go into a lot more of the backstory of the box.

So, let’s go ahead and get into the contents of my spring box.

*This weekend has been so insanely busy AND I have to go back to work tomorrow.  The real kicker? It’s actually supposed to feel like spring the next few days.  Unlike my actual spring break that felt like winters cousin.  It does this every year in Maryland, so I’m not surprised, but it’d be nice if the weather cooperated for once one year.

*Our wedding invitations are just about ready to go out!  I just need a few more addresses from…ya know…Devon…which isn’t likely to happen anytime soon.  I’ll wind up kicking him (not literally) until he gets it done.

*Amazon and I are currently fighting because they claimed a delivery was attempted today and…..we were home when they claimed this.  When I talked to customer service, they claimed they just couldn’t find our address.  So, basically, I’m like….tf, tho? Not okay. So, we’re fighting until they manage to find my address and handle this.

*We had our cat-sitter over yesterday.  She’s a former student of mine who adores cats and volunteered to watch Maya while Devon and I are away on our honeymoon.  Maya adored her; she wouldn’t stop sitting on her lap.  Maya will still hate every minute of the drive to her house and getting to her house, but at least she will like Nina (the girl watching her), so I won’t have to worry about her while we are gone.

*I’m kinda not ready for this whole back to work thing tomorrow.  I mean, I kinda am, but there’s this whole waking up early and having to be productive all day part that I’m not really all about yet.  But we only have about 6-7 weeks of school left at this point, which is making it a bit easier on me to think about.  Of course it also means that there’s not a lot of time until the wedding either, which then makes me freak out again…so…..yeah….

Okay, back to my to-do list.  Hope everyone’s had a great weekend!

My Goofiest Wedding Purchase So Far + Shoes

First of all, before I get to wedding stuff, I want to point out that it’s supposed to be sunny in Baltimore today.  After the insane winds and random rainy and doom and gloom of the past day or so, that’s pretty nice.

Back to my regularly scheduled programming….I was out yesterday, because spring break is nice and real, trying to get some shopping done.  Some of it is wedding related, some of it is just stuff that we need for the house, etc.

I stopped in Sears while I was out by White Marsh yesterday, which is not a store I frequently shop in, but since I’m on the hunt for some of the most random things ever, I figured the one store I don’t stop in would wind up being the store that had what I needed.

I forgot that Sears actually carries more than appliances and home stuff.  The Sears near me in Columbia used to carry all sorts of stuff, but it was downsized to one floor a year or so ago and mostly just sells appliances, Lands End clothing and assorted housewares.  So, when I saw a whole floor of just clothing and shoes and whatnot yesterday, I stopped in to check it out.

Me being me; when I saw a rack that had 70% off scarves on it; I happily stopped and explored (because even in a coma I would stop for 70% off scarves).  In my exploration; I found these two scarves:
