Today is just one of those days.  I’m wearing pants that are begging to be returned to the 1960’s.  They are green corduroys that I’ve had since high school and I finally looked at myself in the mirror and said WTF?  I need a serious wardrobe makeover.  As I’m finally realizing that this is a serious issue, I look in my lunch bag to see what I packed for a morning snack and this is what I pull out.

I can’t even get my picture to rotate… but seriously?  Am I an active participant in my life?  I must have a four year old pack my lunch and buy my groceries and a fifteen year old dress me.  I’m giving myself an intervention.  Good thing I have the following things that I’m grateful for… and it’s a damn good thing that I have found a husband, because there’s no way I’m attracting anything of the opposite sex with my current lifestyle.  Must think classy…
Here are the things I was grateful for last week:

Day 50:  The excitement of Kelsey when I brought her the Hogwarts keychain from Harry Potter world.

 Also, I must say how excited I am that she created her own 30 Before 30 list and started a blog in the last week.  I had a blast drinking lots of wine helping her create and set up her new blog this week.  Check her out at Witty Wanderlust.

Day 51:  Lola’s birthday!!!!  Also, Valentine’s Day, but the birthday of my only daughter is higher on my priority list.  She is seven years old now and I’m still as obsessed with her as I was the day we adopted her.

Day 52:  Spending time with all three nieces.  This is Kennedy’s new “smile” – I feel very confident that I am not responsible for teaching her duck lips, but I do find lots of enjoyment out of doing it with her and taking photos.
Day 53:  My husband and his friend – both exhausted from a hardcore game night (this photo was before midnight) and seriously, maybe Justin needs  wardrobe intervention too… that is a Star Wars sweatshirt with goggles… maybe that’s why our marriage works.
Day 54:  I know, I’m obsessed with my dogs.  But even though they have completely different personalities, I like to think they swap comfort secrets.
Day 55:  An accountability partner – yes, she’s my running partner sometimes, but more than anything, she holds me accountable.  If I make a plan with her, I feel extra pressure to actually follow through.  This led to me running 3 miles Monday with a below zero windchill.  Don’t worry, I’ve already sent her this message:

Day 56:  This little gem was floating around Facebook the last few days.  It is a picture of one of my best friends, Katie, participating in track and field day??  The socks/sandals combo + fanny pack + matching shirt/headband + multi-colored shorts = My favorite picture of her EVER.  
Hope you have a fantastic second half of your week.  I will be working diligently on becoming more classy…
