Scarf of the Day

I think like Mangonett posts an image of the day I should post a scarf of the day for all the ones I seem to find that I LOVE....So here's one for today!

Isn't it so perfect and summery? Just looking at it makes me long for a beach somewhere! The best part only $14.50 at Alloy and it comes in green and yellow. If you see a scarf you like feel free to e-mail it to me...I can never get enough!

What's in your Lunch Box?

I try to be a good little wifey and pack lunch for the husband...but lately it's getting a little difficult.

a) I'm a vegetarian and the husband isn't.
b) He never warms up his lunch, if he has to warm it up most of the time he just won't have it.
c) Now he is tired of bread because I've been feeding him a creative assortment of sandwiches.
d) He likes salad but not as his entire meal.

Knowing that any fun and easy recipes for lunch? Last night I boiled some spinach & cheese ravioli's and then mixed them with olive oil, fresh tomato, black olives, crushed red pepper, salt, pepper, and some parmesan cheese...Quick and easy if any of you are in the same dilemma as me!

Sorry for the bad pic it's taken from my cell phone!

This is NOT what your basement should look like

Exhibit A: What happens when your subpump fails



Exhibit B: What happens when your french drains overflow and stepping on the carpet in the finished half of your basement is like stepping on a wet sponge....

Needless to say last night was fun? Do any of you have any tips???

It's raining it's pouring....

I've always loved rainy days...they are perfection for snuggling into bed with a good book or staying in your sweats and working on a project. I sleep better when it's raining at night ans something about the rain has always seemed romantic to me.

My rainy day look for being out and about not so romantic....See I'm not an umbrella girl. Despite talking myself into buying a pretty purple one with an "A" on it I still hardly use it.

Umbrellas always look so pretty in pictures but I never know what to do with the drenched umbrella when I get to where I need to be. Do I leave it sopping wet and dripping in the corner of my cubicle or stow it away under my desk? Plus I can be so clumsy sometimes I might just manage to take my eye out with one of those pokey things!

So normally I resort to the following:

Either a hooded sweatshirt under a normal jacket or my jacket with a hood...Kind of makes me look like I might rob a bank.

But lately rainy days mean a cute top, a sweet jacket, and a pretty scarf ala Jackie-O to keep my straightened cannot touch water or will get frizzy hair perfect.

Doesn't she look so elegant? Yeah I don't think I look like that but it's better then robbing a bank right???

Here's a modern twist...Gotta love Blair Waldorf!

P.S. Happy Friday to everyone...Photos from here, here, here, and here. Sorry for the silly post...

April Fool's

Today is actually a very special day....

Two years ago today was a Sunday, a little chilly, and slightly drizzeling. I spent the morning getting ready for a date with my then boyfriend. I remember changing outfits a few times as I often do because it was one of those days where nothing looked right. I also had a funny feeling about that day like something big was going to happen. My boyfriend who is always late didn't fail to keep his reputation and actually showed up two hours late! We headed out and by that time I was a little annoyed at him because he was so late and because I was starving! In the car we're talking about where we want to eat and he asked me if we could make a quick pit stop...I agreed and he pulled into the local park. The park where we first actually met and spoke to one another. He had planned out a picnic with all my favorite foods and some gorgeous tulips. It was a little chilly and he had packed sweatshirts just in case. The air smelled like it was about to rain and we casually talked about the weekend while we ate. Right as it started to rain he pulled out a heart shape box, which held another heart shaped box, and ultimately can you guess???













The funny thing was nobody besides our immediate family believed us and one of my uncles actually hung up on my mom 3 times...The above photo was taken later in the evening at a small surprise ceremony with all my family! Happy April Fools Day!!!

Updates

Thanks for all your advice on the facebook topic. As of yesterday the girl who uploaded my pictures was no longer there but there was a new profile with my name, picture, and birthdate. I went ahead and reported it because I had no idea who it was and after sending a few messages to my friends/family telling them this was my new profile and the other one got screwed up that person is no longer there. Hopefully that is the very end of it. Please keep your fingers crossed!!
