Because that's how I seem to roll lately. It's amazing I have clean laundry.
I seem to have taken a confused left turn this past 30 days and I'm either working, caring for dogs who have just had surgery, dealing with a puppy who has broke free of his leash AND collar (broke one day, found him down the road running after the Fed Ex man!!) or "other things"...
Linking up to some HILARIOUS ladies today! Go and check out Bliss Ranch blog- she is talented, funny and quite creative. She made a paperdoll OF HERSELF for the Tongue In Cheek Tuesday post! Too hilarious. The point is how you look when you blog- the real deal.

WHAT I WEAR:
I myself have been wearing my Target off white robe for the past 6 months of "Forever January" here in Minnesota. I think my neighbor across the street thinks I'm a lazy freak. I wear it with it abandon. It can be 9AM and I'm letting the dogs out, it can be 3PM and I'm working on Etsy orders for my shop. If I don't have to go anywhere, this winter has told me "Comfort is key. Bed down. It's going to be long. Put that comfy cotton robe BACK on! As a matter of fact, don't take it off. Bra? Sheesh. Why bother? How about a nice pair of black leggings and some comfy socks? You got it, girl. Lookin good!"
For all of us, I declined taking a photo IN my robe. Part of the reason: Mystery.
Kidding. You need to be able to see the chunk that is missing at the top of the neck. Curtis tried chewing the tag out of it about 9 months ago. He's normally so good with just getting the tag out of things- absolute perfection. Not this time. Ate right through the robe! Do I have other robes? Yes. I thought I'd retire this one. But in true Tina-Spirit..the most beat up and broken down item is always the most comfy, soft and fabulous. So I continue to wear the hell out of it.
CHEW DETAIL: Not bad, Curtis. Not bad. He's generally past the point of doing this kind of stuff, but he surprises us once in awhile. Brad left some expensive snowmobiling gloves out this winter and Curtis chewed the fingertips off of them. Then he got mad AT ME. Guess what? I then became irritated WITH HIM. Put the damned gloves away! You can't trust a (then) 1 1/2 year old dog that needs to be neutered!
HOW I LOOK USUALLY:
Like this, apparently. Brad sleeps during the day when he works nights, so I had no one to take the photo but me. Do you wonder "Why didn't she get that anti-glare stuff for her glasses?" And I say because these are my cheap readers! I have a prescription and then I need readers to read things such as: my iPhone, ibuprofen bottles, any kind of smallish type, the facial expressions of others...etc. Okay, the last one was kind of a joke, but I must say that my dwindling eyesight is really quite disturbing. No! At this point I have no desire to get lasik surgery. The thought of my eyeballs being probed by lasers while being held open with those metal things completely freaks me out!
Also..why is that lampshade THAT askew? I don't know. I chose to let it ride.
Why do I have inches of dark roots? 7 months of snow and cold has made me not care so much. Seriously.
If I don't have the glasses on for small type, I can be seen looking at my laptop like this:
Glasses must always be atop head or NEAR in case of an emergency!! (Sidebar: Why do my eyes look robotic and black when they are, in fact, green?) Hair WAS actually brushed earlier in the day. It is always messy looking. I've just decided to stop fighting it. On certain days, I can ALMOST create dreadlocks in certain parts of very snarled hair. Yes, it gets tiring. I have baby fine hair and am just used to it. I don't bother with makeup anymore as Brad likes me for me and I just don't care as much as I used to. It's a relief. That's what a blessing my 40's have become. I can't see as well as I did six years ago, I don't sleep as well as I did two years ago, but I care so much less about things that just do not matter. And THAT is wonderful!
Recent purchase that makes me smile! I have yet to use it as I "forget" that I have it! How sad is that?!
I'm off to order a cheese pizza or something similar. I don't want to freak anyone out but I think it's sleeting here AGAIN.
Holla to the Weather Gods = NO MORE!
Dreaming of a Real Spring~
