I've been on hiatus! Doesn't that sound better than saying "I've neglected my blog" :) I actually had kept up with the pics for WWSWW, but just didn't get around to posting them. So tomorrow I begin again! I may write a mobile post to get the pic to my blog faster, but I like to edit/crop first and a negative about my Palm Pre is that it doesn't have any kind of editing feature for photos. So a quick hello to let you know my hiatus is over and expect a weekly WWSWW starting tomorrow!
Here's a photo of how I spent some of my hiatus:

I’m beginning to understand why celebrities travel with their own hairstylists! I was finally able to get my hair colored the other day and I asked my hairstylists, Jodie, why I was having such a hard time keeping a curl in my hair. She told me I needed to add layers so I told her to go for it! So of course after layering my hair she styled it and this is how my hair looked after she styled it:

 

              Nice, right.

So after I shampooed my hair, because you gotta wash it sooner or later! I tried curling it with my curling iron…FAIL! I was very close to looking like I had some kind of bowl afro! So the next day I tried my flat iron since that’s what Jodie had used anyway…FAIL again! So last night I came home and asked You Tube for a little help. Wow! I wasn’t expecting that much help! I finally found this video:

Armed with my new found knowledge I was ready for the next morning! Here is what I ended up with after I messed with my hair all day, since this picture I took sometime in the late afternoon.

                                        

            Still blah! IMO

If there’s any hairdressers out there with some advice please comment! Or if you are an expert flat iron user comments are welcome! Because if I can’t figure this curl out then to quote my husband ‘if we ever when the lottery’ I am hiring Jodie as my personal hairstylist!

This morning I was feeling quite lazy and I’m bad and don’t get my clothes ready the night before. I know! I really should. I think I’m going to attempt to start doing that from now on….we’ll see. So back to my laziness. I just threw on my Lee Rider jeans and my Ralph Lauren blouse, which I usually only wear during the winter time months. The shoes are one of my favorite pairs by Steve Madden. The weather was actually quite nice today and I could have worn my outfit from last week today but if i hadn’t-guaranteed it would’ve rained! So here you go my outfit for Wednesday:

Yay for side sliming!                              Not so slimming.

It’s amazing how changing the way you dress even just a little can change the way people look at you. I knew today would probably be the only day I could finally wear my new outfit before the weather got too cold and wet for me to wear it. So even though it was already windy and a bit chilly I wore my new outfit (top half anyway).

My  somewhat cap sleeve top is an eggplant color (the ‘it’ color for the season) courtesy of Gi Gi V Boutique and was made by aryn K. my slacks I bought a couple of years ago at Old Navy (a frugalista even back then) my shoes I bought at Shoe Carnival and our made by Delicious.

Since it was cold out and I’ve been dying to wear it I also wore my other new purchase.

Another Gi Gi V. find was this jacket made by Nilika. it kept me quite warm when I was outside for a bit. I was surprised to find it would keep me as warm as it did.

So there you have my new outfit, finally!

We had a great foggy day about a week ago and there’s an area in our park that reminds me of what the meadow could possible look like in the Twilight Saga. I went out there and took some quick shots before it got really foggy. Here’s a few.

Well thanks to Tropical Storm Rick my original outfit for today remains in the closet. I had to go with something warmer, that would keep me dry for my walk to and from the courthouse, so here you have it: A slate grey, long sleeve blouse with attached vest by Austin Clothing Co. for Academy, my Lee Rider jeans and my trusty Ariat boots my hubby bought for me at Cavenders. Pretty basic today…thanks Rick!

Here's the basics:
Ragu pizza sauce 1 jar
Hormel pepperoni
Pizza cheese at least an 8 oz bag
Pizza crusts we use Mama Marys from Walmart
We spread the sauce on Lil Seal's crust, but other wise he puts as much cheese as he wants and I just use the cheese and pepperoni. When we have family pizza night my hubby will add different vegetables and meats to his.
We put the oven at about 400 for 3 pizzas and pull them out when the cheese has melted and is a bit bubbly. We use a pizza pan (that's the pan with the holes in it) to help the crust become nice and crunchy. And there you have it! Enjoy!

So here is what I wear when my 6 year old has a 102 degree fever and vomits…in my hand! :P We woke up Wednesday morning got dressed and headed to the clinic. It took an hour before we were put in a room to see a doctor. The nurse swabbed his nose (to test for flu) and swabbed his throat (to test for strep) and the result was: flu! Thankfully it’s just the regular flu and not H1N1.

Now back to what I wore. Starting at the bottom my Uggs-which I changed out of because when I opened the door it was raining so I put my rain boots on, my baby blue Adidas sweats which are quite comfortable, blue striped Sonoma shirt from Kohl’s-which you can’t really see, my John Deere Dri Duck for Her jacket (courtesy of my hubby), and white & brown striped scarf from Aeropostale. I took a quick pic before we headed out and there you have it. Once again my new outfit must wait until next week! I know you’re waiting patiently Suzi! :)
