a day in the life














































earlier today, this top was a dress. it was long, came to about mid-calf on me which is the worst length on the planet for us gals with large calves. it had a full skirt that was lined with this lovely flesh colored polyester mess. it was a great dress and i thought i'd just shorten it to above my knee and have a pretty boho dress to wear. well, i just wasn't feeling it. i wasn't feeling any outfit i put on today (what happened to the magnum of yesterday?). so on a whim i decided to rip out the lining and chop this poor thing into a tunic. i really love it like this.
i'm feeling rambly today so bear with me.
while running this morning i almost got attacked by a goose. he made this horrible noise, put his head down, and started after me. it's a good thing i do speedwork, because i left that dude in the dust.
you know how i told you in my 10 things post that i like to take baths every night? well, more specifically i like to read while soaking. anyhoo, i was all done and i put my book on the metal shelf thingy that goes across the tub. i'm usually very careful with my books around water. i apparently didn't reach far enough and my book went splash. so sad. now it's all puffed up and wrinkley. at least i can still read it.
and yesterday while i was taking etsy photos (take two) my sweet little boy had a monster nose bleed on the living room rug. he thought that if you lean over and let it all drip out that would be the best. sigh.
sorry about all that. i'm sure it was all a bit too much. please don't unfollow me. i had my first unfollow yesterday and it kinda bummed me out. i'm sure they'll be more (like this afternoon). details:
