Day 43

I hear the cicadas outside and it reminds me of summers as a kiddo and being all hot and sticky all the time. I feel bad that I can't give that to my teenagers, but at the same time, they had it when they were really little. It's weird how sounds and scents can bring back memories, both good and bad ones. 

I don't think Chloe and I are doing anything this weekend. I have to order Mr. Snoot some more reptile supplies for his bigger cage, as he really needs a bigger water dish and a bigger hide. I'm going to order through chewy.com because I have heard they are the bomb. So we'll see. 

I honestly just threw on some clothes today. I didn't even think about this outfit other than, "Am I presentable?" I say yes. I'm a little matchy-matchy, but that's ok. Yellow Luluroe Nikki dress, multi-color earrings from Amrita Singh and mustard Tieks. Oh and the hair tie came in a multi-color pack from Amazon. 

Lularoe Nikki's are generally shorter than skirts I usually wear, and are about the shortest I'll go on a skirt for a couple of reasons. 1) I'm not the most lady like, and have a tendency to bend over in dresses as though I were wearing pants. 2) You can see the scars on my knees. Not much in these pictures, but you can close up. In these, you can only see the 1 scar that you can generally see in all my dress pictures as it's pretty big. (The one halfway below my knee/up my calf if you don't know what I'm talking about.) When I take pictures of my shoes, you can see the ones on my ankles and the one on my shin as well. (Those have healed enough, they kind of look like bruises unless you are looking really close up.) We're not perfect and our scars and imperfections are what makes us unique and tell our story. We have to learn to love who we are and not try to be perfect. That being said, I am comfortable with ALL of them now, so I am ok to show off a little more leg. Woo-Woo. lol. 

One thing I would correct if I could? My allergies. They are on overdrive. I can't stop sneezing so my nose and cheeks are super red and my eyes are all watery. lol. From now until November is the WORST time of year for me and I feel like I'm going to die about every year. I really have to schedule that allergist appointment. 

POCKETS! Yus.....pockets are precious!

Pineapple earrings! I love these. :D

I never thought I'd like Mustards as much as I do. Nor did I think I had a ton to go with them. (I'm laughing because I bought a TON of yellow to go with them and I am SO GLAD I did because I am in love with yellow on me. :D <3

And Oh!! 

Look who was on my screen door when I went to go back inside! A real ladybug! A red one! I haven't seen a real red one in such a long time. Usually we get the orange ones, or the orangey-red ones that have mated with the real lady bugs and have the crossbreeding thing going on, but this one was red red. I was so happy. :D

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!
