BT & An Overshare.

So apparently, dogs get periods. Who knew, right?
(can we detect my self-directed sarcasm?)

My procrastination bites me in the ass again. For those of you with female puppies - don't wait too long after they turn 6 months. Now poor coco will be in her uncomfortable (yet hilarious!) diaper for a few days and I'll have to wait 3 months to get her spayed. *siiigh* Maybe this will finally teach me to stop putting things off.

am I an awful mother for posting this? haha, she just looks so confused at the whole situation.

Oh right... the whole fashion blog thing...

shirt - Suzy Shier (2009); vest - H&M (2011); skinnies - Smart Set (2010);
flats - Steve Madden (2009)

nugget wrap bracelet - Stella & Dot (2011); watch - Guess (2010);
La Coco Chain - Stella & Dot (2011)

Sadly, I didn't have enough pictures of either the vest or button down to do a "Ways I've worn"... its a good thing they're finally getting some camera time!

I'm addicted to the way I feel when I think of you... too much green to feel blue.

Getting back in the dating game after being in a long term relationship is both exciting and scary.

Do I look okay? Does he think I’m laughing too much? Can he tell I’m nervous? Will I have unexplainable bouts of verbal diarrhea?

We take for granted the ease of conversation in an established relationship, but that like anything else will become easier once the initial “getting to know you” phase has passed. My evening was both awkward and awesome as Sydney would say. Awkward: the amount of gutterballs I rolled during the first game. Awesome: The way he smiled and laughed with me every time it happened. Awkward: Not knowing whether to high five or hug after an amazing strike. Awesome: Getting both. Awkward: Sitting with the elderly in the bowling alley lounge for lack of a better place to go. Awesome: Getting so lost in conversation you fail to notice the staff starting to close up around you. Awkward: First goodbyes. Awesome: An all too sweet goodbye kiss.

Here’s to many more awkward/awesome dates in my future. It's good to be back in the game. Whether this one works, or I get to have a few more firsts with someone new, I'm sure it will be quite the experience.
