CONFESSIONS...

- I totally get why June viewership numbers go down because I have been the same way lately. Either on vacation and not reading as many blogs as normal or just not posting as normal as I usually do.

- I can't seem to get my friend's death out of my mind. Each day I am reading new posts on Facebook and Instagram and it just breaks my heart more and more. It also makes me realize that nothing is forever or protected. So go home and hug your loved ones because you never know when it is the last time.

- Even though I have been single parenting it all week, I secretly love when my husband goes on trips because I can watch all the shows that I want to and not have to worry about being judged for how much tv I watched that week or the kind of show I am watching. Ha. But I also hate that I am behind on Better Call Saul and Fargo because I watch those shows with Rory.

- I hate when a wedding is casual and not semi-formal to formal because I want to get all dressed up and dance the night away. And it is so much harder to find a more casual summer dress. Yes I need a new dress because I either wear them to work, they are too dressy or they are way too casual as in beach casual.

The last couple weddings I went to, I wore these outfits.





THOUGHTS...

- They better reveal who A.D. is quickly and tie up the hundreds of lose ends on PLL. I am getting annoyed by these promises that each episode shows many Easter eggs as to who A.D. is and we are supposed to be getting answers each episode. Nope. Just more questions and wtf-ery.

- Speaking of tv (yep, I watched a lot with Rory being gone and been on vacation last week), I am loving the new season of House of Cards. I love how it is mimicking a lot of what is going on in our world politically.

- The last couple of days the girls are obsessed with wearing their way too small ballet flats they wore for Christmas photos. They are a size 6 and the girls wear a size 7 or 7 1/2. And since they insist on wearing them (yes I should just get rid of them), I have been searching online for two pairs that don't break the bank (because they want to wear them all the time) and offer free shipping. Suggestions?

  3. I feel the same way when Drew is out of town. I miss having him home and the help, but it's nice to be able to do what I want. Ha ha!! Emmy always wants to put on shoes that are too small for her.

I agree about June numbers, I'm struggling to even get a post out and for some reason reading all the blogs is just not happening either! hopefully once summer ends our numbers will rise again!

  5. House of Cards is on my must watch list!! I also secretly love when my hubby is gone for the night for the same reasons! Sometimes I just don't want to talk to anyone after the kids go to bed LOL. And yes to slow blogging, I already decided to post 3 x''s a week and I'm happy I did that because summer is just too crazy!

  9. Sending you all the hugs about your sweet friend, so sorry to hear. But I feel the same way about dressing up for weddings and when my husband is out of town. No side eye for all the crappy tv I watch, and I need an excuse to get dressed up and dance the night away. If not at a wedding, when? Formal night on a cruise is really the only other time.

  11. You look so cute in all of your dresses! I always love formal weddings so that I can get all dressed up too! People will be in jeans and there I am in a lovely dress! Who wants to dress down at a wedding?!
