iPhone pictures, vacation chat, and an outfit

- Melody


shirt: Gap thrifted, jeans: Target (similar), earrings: JCrew, sandals: Old Navy (similar)

These were taken before a spontaneous trip for lunch on Friday with J. We then shopped till we dropped. It was so nice to get out of the house!

Sorry for all the iPhone pictures. The lens I bought that was broken still hasn’t been fixed and returned so until then it’s either lackluster point and shoot pictures or lackluster iPhone pictures run through instagram. 🙂 Instagram it is.

Right now we’re getting ready to leave for vacation in Tennessee for a week with family. Can’t wait to hit up the big flea market up there and visit the Atlanta aquarium! Don’t worry, I’ll be blogging all week while I’m there. Hopefully I’ll get some outfit posts but I have a feeling we’ll just be eating, drinking, and chatting 24/7. And that is A-OK with me. 🙂

It Is WAY Too Hot.

You guys. It’s way too hot to do ANYTHING now. How in the world am I supposed to motivate myself to run outside in 100 degree weather?! Thankfully the school gym’s air conditioning should be finished soon. Because GOOD LORD it’s hot. We finally had to turn on our window unit in our bedroom last night. Well, I had to turn it on. I haven’t been sleeping well at all the past few weeks. Normally I fall asleep pretty quickly but it’s been taking me twenty or thirty minutes to fall asleep. I hate it. Jason on the other hand could fall asleep in a closed cardboard box and sleep through the night. So he wasn’t too happy when I woke him up to help me move our bed, it’s in front of the unit, so we could turn the unit on. Blarrrgh. I’m having deja vu from the torture of last summer. Good thing I have all those summer projects to distract me! And lots of pool time. Working on that summer glow! Slowly but surely.

How are you staying cool? I’m indoors all day and still hate the thought of the heat!

Awkward and Awesome!

Awkward:

-When a guy looks totally normal from the front. Then he turns to the side and his ponytail comes in full view…
-Seriously, is it healthy to not wear a bra this much?
-How many crickets/dogs/birds/noises live in our trees behind our bedroom window. SERIOUSLY. QUIET. DOWN.
-I play Draw Something with both of my sisters and now my mom. About a week ago my youngest sister sent me a drawing. She wrote ‘Money!’ and then drew a coin with 50 cents written on it. The answer was ‘quarter.’ … Love you, Ru. 🙂

Awesome:

-We leave for vacation in a week! Yay family time!
-Our church’s ice cream social is next Sunday night. Tons of homemade ice cream and treats accompanied by a giant waterslide and endless conversation. Yes. Please.
-All of the amazing shops and flea markets we’re going to visit on vacation. Be still my heart.
-Spending a couple of days last week poolside which resulted in some lovely color on my white, white skin.
-Hanging out by the pool today.
-The surprise I’m hiding from all of you for just a few more weeks! (Not a baby.)

I Still Smell Like Chlorine and Sunscreen

And I love it. I’ve smelled like it all weekend and I don’t want to give it up! How was your weekend? Nothings better than smelling like the pool and watching Nacho Libre. Nothing.

‘Cept chocolate. Duh.

How to Fail at Dinner and Still Be a Hot Wife

- Melody

shirt, skirt: F21, sandals: Old Navy

Sometimes wives fail at dinner. If you’re like me, you probably fail at dinner a lot. Burn rice, overcook chicken, sauce is too sweet… My husband is just thankful for a meal and for me letting him use my foot spa because he bruised his heels.

Sometimes that’s what marriage is about. Eating burnt food and soaking your feet in a foot spa. Sacrifices, people. Sacrifices.

Pleats and Comfy Jeans

We had a rather unexciting weekend. We stayed in and started season seven of Grey’s Anatomy (eeeek!) and spent the rest of it with my family for Father’s Day. 🙂 Grilling out and eating homemade ice cream. Yum. 🙂

How was yours?
