Skippy Says: Honey, I'm Home (OOTD)

Well, our little mini vacation is over and, as of yesterday, I'm back to the daily grind. Of course when my daily grind is being a nanny which involves playing with a cute little baby all day, it's much more fun and pleasant than grind-y.

Thank you all for your understanding about my little brain fart. Many of you left very sweet comments, saying that you couldn't wait to see my outfits when I got back. Only one little problem with that. Since we spent our days hiking, reading, and watching T.V., my outfits pretty much consisted of sweatpants and pajamas. And as enticing as I know that sounds, I didn't snap too many photos. I did put on some respectable looking clothes a few times though, since even our pup started looking embarrassed to be seen with me.

Skippy Says: Greaseball (OOTD)

You guys like my new beautiful 100% silk mustard colored top? Me too. Or at least I did. I managed to wear it for promptly one hour before getting a grease stain on it. Which is probably a sign from the universe telling me I should lay off the greasy food. A sign I’m going to ignore, but a sign nonetheless. As much as I love silk tops, they don’t hold a candle to Burma Superstar’s samosa soup.

Skippy Says: Throwing Him A Bone (OOTD)

Since Ryan has been so nice lately, and since I've been wearing so many outfits he hates, I decided to throw him a bone and tone it down a bit today. Because apparently I've gone of the colorful deep end. What can I say? Color makes me happy. And I've never been very good at the whole moderation thing. I'm an all-or-nothing kinda gal, as evidenced by the 16+ hours of studying I did every day in law school and the embarrassingly large number of hot dogs I could consume in a single sitting before I went vegetarian. For realz. My BFF's boyfriend and I were planning on having a hot dog eating contest. It never did happen, but I assure you I would have won.

Skippy Says: At The Risk Of Sounding Annoying (OOTD)

Is it obnoxious to gush about how amazing my hubby is? It is? I'm sorry, I'm going to go ahead and do it anyway. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Yesterday was a particularly gray and rainy day. I woke up with the usual planned: some blogging, some gym time, and some work. But just as I was about to get up, Ryan came in suggesting that I stay home in bed and spend the day relaxing and watching crappy TV. And when I started protesting, he shushed me and assured me we could pretend it was my idea, because he knows that by nature I have to fight any idea that is his and not mine. Thata boy.

I took his my suggestion and had a pretty perfect pajama filled day. I ventured out only briefly to go to the grocery store to buy ingredients to make him his favorite lasagna. Because, you know, I figured he deserved it.
