fashion forward or fashion flawed

little cheeks has the odds stacked against her in regard to fashion awareness. i have always been a little fashion challenged or maybe the better term is fashion careless. i like it if it's comfy, makes me look thinner than i really am, or has a lands end tag in the back. really those are the qualifications for fashion in my book. so when i saw this beauty today i asked myself...has she broken the trend of fashion-less-ista's of the family? OR is she blindly following in the footsteps of a domestically aware woman who needs a stylist? either way she is the cutest thing i have ever seen in a pink polka dot crinoline puffed skirt and snow boots.

real face

ok...i know i am late on this and that the rest of the blog world has posted their real face for the world to see two weeks ago. i had full intentions of getting to this post at the time but the five letter word P-R-I-D-E got in the way. so here goes...

this is the sequence of events that lead to the decision of waiting on the post

took this picture with my cell phone. thought that i looked ridiculous smiling at the camera with a towel on my head. so i didn't even look at the camera. period. end of story!

then the silliness of not facing the reality that this is what i stare at each day in the mirror hit me(plus the fact that this is how God made me and He makes no mistakes. much to my dismay in my areas of insecurity.)

so i pulled out the daily regime

again really couldn't make myself look good with the cell phone (even after the regime) so i asked mr. dc to take a picture of me for the blog

exhibit a...obviously not the picture i was looking for.

exhibit b...do you like the rhinestone belt that was from about 6 seasons ago? again not what i was after.

exhibit c...all taken by mr. dc in his order of infatuation. settled on this one as the final shot. the blurriness fades out some of the pore imperfections. just a day in the life of the amazingly blessed domestic chick and a slightly incapable photographer husband:)

what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man

"words have not been invented to describe what i feel about the cold" (said after coming in from outside)

laughter then silence (from me)
i hear a rustling around upstairs
so i ask "what are you doing?"

"putting on two pairs of socks"

"then i am going to rescue a damsel in distress" (a friend whose back blew out this morning and can't shovel her driveway)

laughter again (from me) and then thankfulness and gratefulness for a man that cares so deeply about others.

love this man that i call mine...
even though he looses his keys every time he comes home:)

ever feel like this? got this in an email today...this cracks me up!

hubby didn't think this was so funny. he says he worries about this everytime he puts up lights or cleans the gutters.

petunia

it has always been a dream of mine to write a children's book revolving around the main character petunia the pot bellied pig. i met petunia yesterday. here she is. i will tell you that she is not very lady-like. and this is her partner in crime, mr. grumples...

what is a dream of yours?

funny breakfast

we (my love and I) were sitting at the table with g (who is 3) this morning. my love "cut the cheese" while we were at the table and g looked him and said "you burped" then laughter from g "out of you panths(pants). " my love and I looked at each other and cracked up. maybe the funniness gets lost in translation but it was hilarious!
