I’m writing this post surrounded by the hubbub of three small children and a dog whilst Eric heats up leftovers for dinner… so apologies in advance if it’s not the most coherent thing. This week has been a lot with moving preparations as well as normal life, following an unusually social and out-of-the-house weekend.
Anyways, packing is going well and I’m excited to do something that ISN’T packing for a few minutes. So let’s chat about life lately!
Weather lately: Can get outta here already. I have Google photos of early March from past years and we’re outside, it’s in the 50s with only the remnants of snow left… Meanwhile, it’s snowed like 4/7 days in the past week -_- I am the ready-est for spring but unfortunately it isn’t just around the corner this year.
Reading lately: I’m re-reading a bunch of Fiona Ferris books because I find them soothing and inspiring. The perfect antidote to moving stress.
Confused lately: By the fact that jeans are so short these days. I bought a new pair of jeans from GAP which, while a good fit, are basically crop/mid-calf length (marketed as regular full-length jeans). I wanted a pair of cropped jeans for spring so it’s fine… but where can a tall girl get full-length jeans these days?
Also, in general, why are female styles so masculine lately? I’m not trying to buy frilly, lacy, bright pink things either–just clothes designed to flatter a woman’s body. Sigh. I’ll keep looking!
Socializing lately: Last weekend we hung out at my dad’s house while dropping off a gift for my brother, attended a potluck with some of Eric’s friends and I got pancakes with my best friend N (and my favorite third wheel, Baby K, of course!). This weekend my parents are helping us move. And I’m really looking forward to a combined family birthday brunch for three family members at the end of this month!
Home improvement lately: Last week the house was professionally cleaned. Over the weekend we unrolled rugs at the house and started assembling the crib. And this week we had a minor HVAC repair made. Ready for move-in this weekend!
What’s new in your life lately? I’m excited to get back to regular blogging time soon–but in the meantime I’m enjoying these chattier posts too. Let’s catch up!
