Psalm 34:3

Happy Birthday, Momma!

Today is Momma's birthday, as I'm sure you can tell by the blog title. In honor of her birthday, here are some limericks about mom.....

There once was a lady named Verna
Her name only rhymes with Merna
Which isn't a real word
She likes to call me Bird
There's still nothing that rhymes with Verna

I have this lady who's my Momma
She didn't vote for Obama
Her middle name is Dean
On Fridays she wears Jeans
Her life doesn't have much drama

Today is my mom's day of birth
She's the best momma on earth
She raised two boys
And a girl with poise
Never underestimate her worth

My momma can be kind of crazy
She taught me never to be lazy
She has all kinds of advice
She raised me to be nice
I'm not sure how she feels about daisies

She seriously is a great mom
I'm glad she didn't name anyone Tom
I'm thankful to have her
A rhyming word is fur
She has never visited Guam

Okay, the last one was a bit weak, so I'm calling it quits. Happy Birthday, Momma! I love you.

What I Wore Wednesday

Do any of you have trouble switching seasons in regards to your wardrobe? What I mean is, do you struggle remembering what to wear in the summer after a long winter of tights, boots, and scarfs? I tend to forget what I wore last year, so I have to make up all new outfits. It takes about 3 weeks of warm (or cool) weather before I start getting into the swing of things. Before I realize that I can wear those shoes with that dress or that I can make that a "summer sweater" by wearing it with shorts. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? There is a good chance that it is just me.

Luckily, I'm starting to get into the swing of summer. That means my legs are shaved regularly enough that I don't have to cover them with a maxi dress, and my toenails are perfectly polished, so I don't have to cover them with ballet flats. Here's what I've been wearing lately....

One of these days, I'm going to take pictures of my outfits with a real camera in my full length mirror, but for now, this is what you get.

Sweater: Old Navy ($9.99 Clearance!)

Tank Top - ????

Scarf - TJ Maxx

Shorts - Maurices

Shoes - Sperrys

This was my first day of classes. I wore MU colors even though I'm getting my doctorate from KU. I was being passive agressive.

Dress: TJ Maxx

Cardigan: Lane Bryant

Purse: Kate Spade

Shirt: Lane Bryant

Sweater Thing: Old Navy

Pants: Half of Half ($2!!!)

Purse: Garage Sale

I love maxi dresses! Love them.

Dress: New York and Company

Sweater: Old Navy (I bought it in high school!)

I wore this to shoot a wedding a couple of weeks ago.

Dress: Half of Half

Boots: Garage Sale

Belt: Cato

This dress was never actually worn. It was one of those moments when I put something on in the dressing room, and thought it was ADORABLE, then got home and realized I looked like a bridesmaid from 1988. It was awful. I literally laughed at myself in the mirror. It was terrible and went straight back to TJ Maxx.

So I'm back in summer mode, and I love having a tan and painted toenails and no make-up. Do you guys tend to wear a lot less make-up in the summer, or is that just me? Maybe it's a teacher thing.  I feel like I'm asking a lot of questions in this post, so I'm going to go ahead and end it here.
