I'm Back!

Really??? 3 years since I blogged. Well I have been busy and I don't think anyone was reading my blog anyway. So here I am - turning 42 tomorrow. I literally woke up this morning and thought, "I am going to start blogging again." What have I been up to? A little of everything. I got a new job - YAY! I am officially a government mule now. Guess what? I love it!! My hair is gone (I got it cut off), I started running, and I wore shorts this summer for the first time in about 12 years. This means that either I am getting older and have stopped caring about what other people think, or that I am really starting to like the way I look, or a little of both. So, here I am. I have changed a bit. Funny how you don't realize you are aging until you have really AGED. :-)

People tell me they like the way I put together all sorts of colors that one wouldn't normally put together. You might not be able to tell from the picture, but this jacket has red stripes in it - hence my red shoes. Let me tell you a secret, I have no clue what I am doing. I mix my clothing out of necessity. 5 years ago, I wouldn't dare to mix some of the colors and patterns I wear now. However, spending all of my money on a my kids and a house remodel, and starting to really think about the future (retirement), has really changed how I spend on myself. So, I just take the same old pieces and wear them with something different. Every now and then I buy a new piece and add it into the mix. OK, in the interest of full disclosure I will say that I just went on a SUPER internet shopping spree. I NEVER do that. My treat to myself (trying hard not to think of the total damage). Plus, I shopped during Maryland's tax-free week. Everything I purchased online was TAX FREE and of course I took advantage of free shipping deals and all kinds of online coupons. I will post a pic of all the clearance and sale priced goodies I found as soon as all my packages arrive. I will be back, and it won't be 3 years from now.

Ta ta for now!
