Skippy Says: New Friends (OOTD)

Last week was a big one for me-- I had my first ever blog friend meet up. Does it make me a dork to admit that was the highlight of my week? Oh well-- you probably knew that already.

When Megan was in town for the holidays, I made good on my threats and kidnapped her to go thrifting with me. Quite honestly, I was sort of surprised she was willing to meet up, especially after I admitted that I bite. Yes, you read that right. I emailed her telling her I was  a bit nervous, and she sweetly replied that she was too, but that I shouldn't worry because she doesn't bite. And then something possessed me to admit to her that I do. You see, I have this problem with being a little too honest sometimes. And sometimes, no, often, I show my affection by little nibbles. In fact, one of my friend's families refers to me as "the biter." And for some unknown reason, I felt the need to share this with her. Thankfully, Megan was a total trooper and was willing to meet up anyway. We had such a wonderful afternoon together, and I can't wait for her to come back so we can do it again.

Yes, I'm a midget

We're being lions. Isn't it obvious? 

In case you can't see, that sign says mini skirts rock. True story.

Skippy Says: Colorific (OOTD)

I'm not sure how these pre-haircut pictures got away from me, but here's the last shots of me with my long hair. Oh wait, I do know how they got away-- I wasn't sure if I wanted to post them. You see, Ryan wasn't the biggest fan of this outfit. I believe phrases like "color overload" and "box of crayola crayons" came out of his mouth. It's possible that I may have responded by calling him a turd, because, you know, I''m mature like that.

Skippy Says: Time Travel (OOTD)

Yesterday, my husband's family and I went to the Renaissance Faire to celebrate my brother-in-law's and his girlfriend's birthdays. Yes, the Renaissance faire. I know, I'm the epitome of cool. But you know what? There was a petting zoo. And if there's a petting zoo, I'm there. It was a particularly good petting zoo too. So good, in fact, that I didn't even feel bad pushing the little kiddies out of my way so I could get some good pets in. Oh yes I did. Judge away, but you'd do the same if you saw the donkey, baby goats, lamas, and potbelly pig. He oinked his way right into my heart.

Shop:

- Ambiance dress (really old- bought on sale circa 2004 maybe? No longer available. Buy similar here, here, or here)
