3 numbers

1: Number of births attended yesterday. A quick, intense birth- a few scary moments...but thankfully a very happy ending. Do you like my official footwear for Birth Assistants?

7: Number of exact years that my oldest daughter has been alive.  Today is her birthday. CANNOT believe that she is that old.  I sure love her. 

18: Number of cupcakes made for the 1st grade class today. Okay, so after having been up all night- making cupcakes was not something that I was thrilled to be doing this morning.  I used this box mix, piped on the frosting, and tossed on some sprinkles.

A few other odd n' ends:

What do you think of this haircut?  I am pretty sure that it wedges up in the back. Seriously considering it.

Have you heard this song?  I have.  At least 10,000 times today.  LOVE IT. Not so sure that it is a good thing that my kids keep walking around singing "...keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding..." wonder what their teachers will think about that.

I know I have been very lame in the crafting department.  Lots of inspiration coming in...not much going out.  Dining room curtains are in the works (ordered my fabric in a slightly different color.)  Pics to come.

Check out Morgan's recipe for lemon curd.  I made some and it is super yummy.

All I have to share today is that this is me post workout sans make-up...

and this is what I am doing today:

(I only took 2 days off! I'm sure it breeds in there)

Warning: this post is vain, frivolous, and totally useless--but I don't have much else to write about today.

(forgive my "third position ballet stance", old habits die hard)

I have been trying so hard not to buy black, brown, gray or white.  Color, my wardrobe needs color.  I am finding it very hard to dress myself these days.  It is such an "in between" time in the seasons right now.  Do I wear short sleeves?  Are ankle pants allowed right now?  Is it too early for flats without socks?  Clearly I think way too much about this.  I love fashion- always have, however, I am not so sure that it loves me back.  I know what I like and what I think looks good in the magazine...but putting it together for myself is tough.  So, I took a little risk with my funky green shoes and chartreuse scarf today.  Also, I was able to muster up the courage to wear my thrifted vintage coat for the first time.

Spring weather, cute shoes, what else can a girl ask for?  Well, maybe this bag to pull it all together!
