black leggings are the jam

Exhausted and tired and in major need of a nap!  After what felt like a long week and start to a weekend Sunday rolled around and I was just ready to crash.  Got up for an a.m. workout at PB then sprinted in the drizzling rain to grab a coffee off 3rd Street and then back out in the rain to race inside the sanctuary.  In my ubber casual look again I felt fine.  I mean the weather wasn't exactly screaming "sundresses, cute wedges and curls" so I had that going for me BUT I felt icky...not cute and actually kind of homey looking.  I even had 2 friends after the service tell me they didn't recognize me!  Uhhh ohhhh! ................................................And he's breaking me again!!!

                                 Day 8: these shoes are hurting!

These shoes are really starting to irritate me too....it's pretty evident now that I didn't buy these shoes because they're comfortable and can be worn a lot....I bought them for that coniving little gold emblem on the front.  oh yeah....you roped me saks.com. That little guy with horns comes in all forms.....trust me.....even on a small little label and in the form of plastic he is tugging away at you to lose sight and focus on what you really desire after.  Learning to know the difference between impulse and practical and meaningful purchases is an area that I'm hoping the Lord will help me to see more clearly between.  I no longer have the desire to add clutter to our home because "we can" or because "oh we need it".  I only want things in our home that we are using along our walk to honor God and that we are getting our return on times 3!! 

                                                                

So the fam came over to cookout with us for Clay's birthday.  I made my first cake from scratch and I wasn't about to eat it in my sweaty clothes from earlier so I threw my leggings in the dryer with a dryer sheet to "fluff" them up and refresh them and after a shower and a glass of lemon water I was finally able to sit back and enjoy company with my family and good friends.  I survived week 1!  A little 2 hour bathing suit flub and a shoe switch for an hour and a half due to blisters......all in all......not bad.
