Daily Wears: Watch

Daily Wears: Watch

Yup, a non-substance post here! :) Haha!

I’m wearing something new, so I had to post about it. Those are the rules, right?!

(I realize my outfit is similar to this one, but its’ not the same!)

My awesome watch finally arrived after the Beyond the Rack debacle (although, they still haven’t credited my credit card or account after sending the item back on May 16 BUT I freaking threw out my receipt with the tracking number, so I guess I’m now out a watch and $200. *sigh*) and The Cowboy and my FIL sized it for me yesterday! HOORAY!

Top – Express (similar to two I tried to exchange, but then they ran out of my size, so I probably should have kept them and dealt with the small holes instead of paying $30 to try and exchange the dang things)

Pants – Express

Shoes – Dolche Vita

Headband – Lululemon because I was lazy this morning

Necklace – Express

Watch – Michael Kors

Jumbled

Lately I’ve been feeling like I have so much floating around in my brain I just don’t know where to start, hence all of my posts have been about clothes.

I’m still not entirely sure where my brain is regarding some things, but really wanted to put them down on paper because my body aches and an aching body is a sure sign of a stressed Cowgirl.

The Condo / Acreage

I’m not sure if it’s because it’s taking so.friggin.long to sell but I’ve really been questioning whether we’re doing the right thing. Depending on the day I can convince myself either way, so, in the end, I just end up way more confused.

Sometimes I feel like we’re being greedy by building a fancy house, but when I look at it financially it actually kinda makes sense.

In the end, I’m still confused.

Job

I feel so blessed to have a job that gives me flexibility. Most days I totally love my job, but sometimes I’m “blah” about it.

That’s normal, right?!

Also, for my reward, my boss said he’d pick it up on Friday. Well, it’s Monday and I don’t see anything in his office (maybe it’s in his car and doesn’t want my co-workers to see?) but, again, he hasn’t said anything to me about it.

I sure hope he picked it up because I don’t want to call the store to have items reserved again. I think I’ll look like a jerk.

Babies

Since my Grandma got sick it’s become really, really important for me to have a baby. Like really important. It’s kinda all I can think about.

For weeks I had been trying to talk to The Cowboy about it, to gauge where he is, if/when we can talk about it, etc. Finally we talked about it last night and he feels like we should wait until we’re a tad more settled. I get that, we’ve moved every 2 years for a while now.

So, dear condo, please sell so I can get pregnant. Thank you!

The Cowboy

I’ve been in a funk lately (see above) and so has The Cowboy. Two parties in a funk does not bode well for a marriage. It hasn’t been fun for the past while. There have been more tears shed (by me) than I care to admit.

I think, maybe, we’ve finally got things a bit sorted out.

This is good and I’m feeling relieved. Unfortunately, the BIL is still a bit of an issue (he always will be) but hopefully he’ll become less and less of an issue instead of more and more of an issue.

Fingers crossed.

…Sometimes I feel like I should have more sorted out at 28 than I do…

Now that I’m done whining, let’s talk about this weekend!

On Friday the IL’s came over for hamburgers and we watched the hockey game. We won (!) and I remembered to keep my language in-check. (Win for me!)

Saturday the IL’s spent the day with my SIL and nephews while The Cowboy played video games and I marked assignments. Boring.Day.

Sunday I woke up relatively early so that I could meet my MIL and SIL for a morning at the spa. It was blissful. We all fully enjoyed our massages and then chatted and relaxed in the whirlpool until it was time for SIL to pick up the nephews and get on with  her day.

The IL’s came back to our place for the rest of the day where we ate a yummy lunch, chatted and then went out for sushi.

All in all, a pretty good weekend. It would be even better if the Canucks won tonight :)
