Just ripped this off my FB share in the tieks group, because it's basically how I feel today and I have to go curl Chloe's hair right freaking now, or she might DIE. lol.

Hope you are all well! (And yes, the drop me a note still applies here too!)

And it's Tuesday. Yesterday I got a bunch of new LLR. I splurged. I felt like shopping, and I was like, new tieks or new clothes....ehhh, I need clothes more. (Sorry to disappoint, but there were some wardrobe gaps that needed filling and while it seems like I have endless clothing, I really don't. A lot of things I wear are mix and match and I wear out pants ridiculously fast.) Also, I needed Halloween clothing because in a bought of INSANITY last year I Marie Kondo'd all my Halloween clothes. Like, HELLO Beka, they ALL brought you joy, what were you DOING? Oh, being rational, (<insert my mother's voice here> You only wear them once a year Beka!) that's right. Eff that. Being rational has lead to some of the worst decisions I've ever made. Seriously. Go with your heart, not your head.
So anyway, today's OOTD is all new! I got this gorgeous mustard/wheat colored Emily (with snack holes!). I wasn't sure how the Emily would fit and I'm really glad I took a chance on it! I was waiting for one to call my name loudly and this one did, so I bought it. I paired it with these adorable halloween vintage print leggings and Mustard Tieks. And yes, cat ears. Because they came with the Emily cuz my girl that hooked me up and I got to talking about kitties, and she's bomb and gave me the ears. It's like she knew I'd wear them or something?!?! (I got them and was like, "These. On my head. RIGHT MEOW." hahaha.
Anyway, I will say, I would wear this dress without leggings for sure, but it's kinda chilly today (yes!) so I did leggings. And as I can never pull off the knotted up on the side look without it looking really dumb, it is what it is. This would also look really cute with little shoe booties, and if my daughter and I were the same size shoes, I'd steal hers. haha. /insert sarcasm here: Oh well...Gee darn, gotta wear my tieks. Oh no, whatever shall I do? /end sarcasm
How are you doing today? I want to know! Drop me a note and tell me how you are. I hope you're doing good, but if you aren't, here's some ****hugs****. 

Um...oops.

I forgot I had a blog.

Oops.
(No, I'm not kidding. I forgot.) 

Sorry!

Here are some outfits I wore over the last few months. I took a break for health reasons and then totally forgot about the blog when I came back to doing OOTD. So, yeah. Sorry bout that to anyone who follows me here. haha

Here's what you missed of my life in the last few months. 

Summer

More summer. Me feeling crappy.

KITTEN!!! (My mom's new kitten. We rescued him from death. Literally)

Feeling a bit better!

Feeling lots better!

OMG she's old enough for HOMECOMING????

Freshman year HOCO 2019. *sniffle*

Summer holding out on us, not ever leaving even though it's FALL.

Hi cuteness!!! You're so stinking adorable and I love you!

I don't feel like death today!

Still feeling good.

Top is a little long, but I like this outfit.

Love this outfit. Panda Pants!!!

Wore this to Girl Scout Camporee. :) Wheee

Just a casual day and your'e all caught up. :)

Being Sick Sucks.

Ok, so not only am I sick, but I'm having the period from hell. 

UGH. (Seriously. I'm on day 14, and now it's so heavy I'm changing the cup every 1/2 hour to an hour for the last two days. My OBGYN has been notified, but hasn't gotten back to me yet.)

No fashion. Ever again. Because I'll just bleed onto it. I swear, I have run out of underwear. There is no help for me. #SendAbsorbantCouchCushionsTheresThatMuchBloodImDYING #NeverLeavingTheToiletForFearMyUterusMightFallOut

Seriously though, I feel like I might bleed to death. I'm so tired. I hate when my period gets all out of hand and my entire uterus decides to aim for disembarking. I'll probably need blood after all of this. Whole blood, not just iron. Ugh. 

THIS IS WHY I WANT A HYSTERECTOMY. But will they give me one? Noooooo. "You're only in your 30's." I'm told. *glares* 

I might kill the next person who denies me my god given right of removing my lady parts. Honestly, I might. 

On top of bleeding, I'm still sick. I'm getting better slowly, but I'm exhausted all the damn time. 

I'm on bed/couch rest but I refuse to die. I'm too damn stubborn to die. 

OOTD: 

Minky Blanket and Unmellow Yellow Tieks. 

Live Long and Don't Die From Blood Loss

My baby boy, my firstborn child, my sweet chubby toddler is turning 16 today. 

I can't believe I'm at this point. I remember holding him in my arms in the hospital, a day after giving birth to him and doing all the math about how old his older sister and I would be on his "milestone" birthdays. 16 being one of them. It felt like so far away at the time, and *snap* here it is. 

I miss my boy. He lives in Seattle with his dad. I saw him this past November, but I rarely get the opportunity to fly out there to see him (airfare is expensive, and so is car rentals/hotel/meals/etc.) We're hoping to send Chloe out to see him this Christmas, so at least they can spend it together. We would fly him here, but he has A LOT of health conditions. He's Autistic, a Type-1 Diabetic and those two alone prevent him from flying alone. He has a bunch of other things as well, so him flying solo is out of the question. And if we go there, we have to pay for all the travel stuff as his father and I are not on the greatest terms. (Let's just say, it's a really good thing we're 2500 miles apart.)

But yeah. I miss my kiddo today. I had plans to wear a bright outfit today to make me happy, but I'm still sitting here with a cold, being all sick. #Ugh

So I'll just leave it at this:

Happy Birthday Toby! I love you and miss you fiercely! You've become an amazing young man, and I could not be more proud of you. You are compassionate and kind, smart and funny, and have the brightest soul out of anyone I know. You are my handsome man, and will always be my baby boy. I love you with all my heart.

Pictures of the man-child Toby, newest pictures first, to his first newborn picture, under the cut.

Days 49, 50 and possibly 51

Hey guys. I have the gunk. The ick. The sickness. 

Sorry, couldn't help it. 

But yeah, I'm ill. I've been laying on my couch playing sims 4 and napping for the last 48 hours. (And it will probably be another 24 hours or so until I feel like wearing clothing that isn't just a t-shirt and underwear. And y'all don't need to be seeing that. There's no fashion there. It's just death warmed over. 

My husband gave me his cold. But he's also feeling better enough to take care of me now, so that's good. He just made me eggs and toast and cream of wheat, so I'm gonna go eat and give him a kiss. 

Love y'all. I'll be back when I'm feeling better.

Day 48

My pictures this morning aren't great because my silly husband was making faces and kisses at me, telling me I was pretty and going "woo woo". LOL. Anyway, today's OOTD:

Lularoe Irma and TC2 leggings. Bright and cheery! Hair up because it's wet (I am freshly showered) and teal and sapphire necklace from Amrita Singh to pull the color up top. I'd like something with more dark blue in it, but I don't have anything. Oh well. Sapphire Blue Tieks to adorn my toes today. 

Husband is still sick, so I'll probably just be inside today. Woke up late (was up until 3am with him coughing and stuff), so OOTD is posted late. Sorry!

Mr. Soba Noodle has some new cage stuff arriving today, so I'll probably have him out for a bit while I remodel his cage. He did just eat, so he might be in a tub if he's not feeling being held. Sometimes he's ok with it and sometimes he's not. Depends on his mood and how his meal is sitting, but his cage needs cleaned and with him being shed-eat-growth spurting on me, I haven't been able to get to him recently. At any rate, if I get him out and he's cooperative, I'll take some pictures of him and possibly his new cage set up. If not today, it'll be sometimes in the coming weekend/week.

Going to go make Nathan some tea now. Poor guy. I hope he feels better soon. He just sounds miserable.

Love y'all!!

Day 47

Day 47 OOTD is a casual one. My husband came home from Defcon with a cold, but he brought be back this cool t-shirt! I'm pretty sure the bright yellow parts glow in the dark. Of course, I don't have lilacs (sigh) because I didn't think I had enough purple to warrant getting them. Well, that's changing. lol. So I paired these with my comfy leggings and unmellow yellows. :D 

Today is going to be a chill day. Chloe is with my sister for the next week-ish (she likes to hang out there for long periods of time) and with my honey sick, I assume I'll be helping him out with everything today. lol. (He gets man-cold sick. It's hilarious.) 

So yeah. Not much happening here today. Shirt from Defcon, leggings from Torrid, Unmellow Yellow Tieks from Tieks! 

Close up

Close up of my gorgeous UY's. :D They're probably my favorite pair honestly. (Though I'm sure I say that about a lot of my tieks. haha)
