Oops - but oh well!

My friend Sue has joined me in the ‘30 Day Photo Fun’ and when I was reading her post she mentioned you couldn’t use old photos! Oops! I didn’t know this, so I guess I was cheating! It’s hard taking a picture every day. I’ll try to from now on, but if there’s some days I just don’t manage it, well, I might just have to cheat again!.

Jason has gone to Denver for a week to work, so I’m going to try and get all caught up with housework, laundry etc this week and try to keep on top of things throughout the Summer. Most years I just get so lazy during the Summer months and do the bare minimum to keep the house tidy! I want to do better than that this year, because I hate a messy house.

I went to the mall with Cheryl yesterday, we had the BEST time. Honestly as best friends as we are I don’t think we’ve ever had a mall shopping day together! Oh we’ve been to Hobby Lobby and the likes, but not a real shopping trip together. She was helping me pick a new swim suit that actually ‘fit me well’! I thought I wasn’t going to find one, I was nervous about buying a bikini, I didn’t like the idea of showing too much skin. I was aiming more for a tankini, but eventually I plucked up the courage to try some on and I bought one! I hate to say though that over the past two weekends I’ve over-indulged in cocktails and food and already gained a few pound back. SO, you’ll have to wait a few weeks to see me in the bikini ;-) 

You can see me in the new dress I bought though . . . .

This is a first for me to0 . . .  a strapless dress! I’m always put off by this style because I feel like I’d just be lifting it up all the time, but it fits quite well so I felt more comfortable in it than I thought I would.

I had no intention of buying new shoes, but I tried these lovely gold strappy sandals on in Dillards and they were so comfortable they were my first purchase of the day :-) I just couldn’t resist. It’s not often I can find a pair of shoes that are comfortable, so I when I do, I don’t care about the price ( well, within reason) These were less than $100, so well worth the money. I’m not one to buy shoes just because they look good if they kill my feet and I can’t walk in them! I took the above picture, then got Cheryl to take another one (below).

 

 

DAY 4 ~ Clouds

Day 4 was yesterday and this picture was taken yesterday – so that’s not cheating is it? You can see the lovely white clouds we had yesterday with a gorgeous blue sky. What you can’t see is how HOT it actually was! We took these photos then went straight back in side and didn’t come back out til the sun had gone down. It has been high 90’s all week, yesterday was probably 100!  I think it’s gonna be a long hot summer.
