I wasn't planning to do a blogpost today but I woke up with a case of the blahs. There's no getting around it - the kids have been back at school for over a week, summer is over and autumn is well and truly on its way. Rain, rain and more rain. Autumn is my least favourite season (yes, yes, I know Emma and Candace will disagree). For me it's a case of just gritting my teeth and getting through it, until - hooray - the Christmas preparations can begin in earnest. In October! :)
So in order to keep my head up, I've made a list of five things which have made me happy/smile today. I've been thinking for a while that I ought to do this 'positive vibes' thing on a daily basis. Well, as the Flylady says, you're never behind, just jump in where you are... Here are my five for today:
Hope you have a terrific Tuesday!
So in order to keep my head up, I've made a list of five things which have made me happy/smile today. I've been thinking for a while that I ought to do this 'positive vibes' thing on a daily basis. Well, as the Flylady says, you're never behind, just jump in where you are... Here are my five for today:
- I met several SDDs at the schoolgates at 8am this morning. SDD stands for Sexy Domesticated Dad... ;D
- All this rain and dark grey skies means that it's perfectly acceptable to light lots of candles at 9.30 in the morning.
- I made some mini meatballs/tomato sauce and put it in the crockpot for our dinner tonight. Smells yum. We'll have it with tagliatelle and lashings of grated cheese. Comfort Food Rools! :)
- The builders who are remodelling our bathroom told me I can use the skip outside for general rubbish. I've been doing a major Flylady declutter/furniture move in my office...DH took a carload to the dump on Sunday but now I can fling, fling, fling!
- I bought a pair of black suede ankle boots on Friday. A teeny bit scared - not worn ankle boots since the 1980s - but am taking them out for a test drive right now for the school pickup :D
Hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

Have a great day Diane!
LOVE those sassy boots...you won't be sorry! Wear them w/ skinnies, tights and skirts/dresses.
I wanted to tell you....YOU inspired this week's Style Mission! It's a scaredy cat challenge to wear something you are afraid to wear. Perhaps your fashion forward new boots fill the bill!
Thank you for your inspiration & happy you are back w/ your cute blog!
Leslie - I'm honoured that I've inspired your Missus Smarty Pants Scaredy Cat Challenge! xo
My Scaredy Cat Challenges will always be here on the blog - because there are *always* things I want to try... :) This week I will make sure to try out my boots with black tights and a pencil skirt - eek! LOL
Excellent news about the skip, i would definately make the most of that too...ooh, is it bad that i think that sounds like fun?
Those boots are totally gorgeous, you will look fab in them.
Hope you are having a lovely day today!
