We came into work today to find our team fish "Suishi" dead. It was very sad. He lived about 6 months, and fought the good fight, but I think our office might have been just a little too cold for him. Because he was a Beta fish, I composed a Haiku in his honor. 

farewell dear fish, thy

last bubbles leave air pockets

in my lonely heart.

 

In happy news, I participated in Gentri Lee's package pall party! My package pall was Brooke from Australia! I've always wanted to visit Australia but have never had the chance. Though I hear it can get a little warm. Justin and my romance actually all began during a video about Australia watched in geography class. 

Best class I ever took.

For more package pall fun:

More Mango...

tech savvy.

it too hard to write captions on me pad, so you'll just have to wait for tomorrow.
I know, how will you sleep?!

Justin is going to be so excited to know that I am writing this post while sitting in bed, propped up against my pillows and all tucked in, using my touchpad! something called screen share or what not.

Truth be told though, it would probably be about ten bazillion times easier for me to just walk the 15 feet from  here into the other room and do this on our regular old computer.

But that wouldn't make my husband as happy. 

And it would require me to get out of my warm, lovely bed, which we all know is not going to happen.

So, just be amazed at my wondrous tech skillz.

Or my extraordinary laziness.

Hey, if the shoe fits...

ps. did you know I can also turn the computer off using this app? Without getting out of bed? Oh technology. Look what you've done to me. Now all I need are some of those clapper lights and I'll be set.

a real Paige turner.

So I was talking on the phone earlier this week to one of my little sisters, when I had the idea to create a series of outfits attempting to personify each of my family members. Its still cold and raining,  but I was actually really happy about how this outfit turned out, even though it’s waaaay outside of my comfort zone, and makes me look slightly milliaryish (new word. Ha).

Striped Shirt: $2 thrifted

Olive Cargos: Anthropologie online sale $20

Military Boos: Aldo $25 via eBay

Belt: Kohls

Purse: Vintage $3 via eBay

This outfit is for my second to youngest sister Paige. When she gets dressed, she likes to be comfortable, and have clothes she can move in. That is why I chose the cargo pants and the oversized shirt. They are unbelievably comfortable.  Paige is by no means a girly girl! She is tough, and smart, and extremely witty, but an extremely loyal person. That’s why I went with monochromatic colors, and tough boots.

This is me marching because my outfit is so military-ish! Don't you know all soldiers march with their lips like this?

Above all though, Paige is fun, and funny, and will always surprise you! 

That is why, wait for it….

I wore this fun, 

 FISH PURSE!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAY! Even though it is absolutely ridiculous, and a 24 year old girl really has no excuse to be wearing it, this purse makes me so happy! I’ve named him Steve!

Justin seriously laughed out loud when he saw my getup today (mainly at Steve I think). I suppose just like Paige, I too am full of surprises!
