So y'all..how have all y'all been?
Between the flooding, the loss of another friend-young woman to cancer ( 44 years old), college, kiddo and dealing with my hubby's almost killed him but didn't work injury, life just seems to be stuck in the mud right now, but I am up to the challenge!!!
I've missed y'all. Trying to catch up. I don't have much of a break, as I start summer semester on Monday, but I thought I would check in and see what everyone is up too.
Decluttering and zen-ifying has continued at a huge pace. I have now released over 50% of the stuff we had left after our break in in our home and I am enjoying the space. I have redone my son's room. He wanted something cooler, more grown up :( for his life of almost 11 years. We are on the hunt for a new couch and chairs for the living room. The good thing is people have been so kind to give us stuff and I passed it along to some people affected by the flooding here.
Clothing- I have purged down to or returned some lemons of pieces of clothing that didn't work, to mostly black, white, some denim/blue, and a little pink. Just picked up an AWESOME perfect pink leather jacket that I am drooling over everyday. I did buy some new shoes- leather pumps and another pair of pink Birkenstocks. I love them!!! I also purchased 3 dresses to wear when I substitute.
Neighbors update- only had 1 weird incident and I was so direct with her, as in get out, that she was floored. I had a party with some people my hubby works with. We rented a water slide/jumpy house for my son and the other kiddos. Within 2 hours, the nosey neighbor mom came over and was like "Are you having a party?" Um..nope...seriously? Who has the balloons to do that? My guests were all looking at her like WTF? If we were being loud, blocking driveways or otherwise, I can understand. She only came over to be nosey. It was the weirdest behavior ever. I told her I had to attend to my invited guests and kinda closed the door on her. I have never had anyone do that in my almost 42 years on this planet.
So how are y'all? :cool:
