Sweetheart Swap Link-Up

Welcome!

And Happy Early Valentine's Day!

Scott asked me what I wanted to do and I said I didn't care.  I asked where my present was and he asked if I really wanted something.  I said no.  We'll probably make pizza.  We go all out for fake holidays.

Actually, Scott said, "Well, it's Valentine's Day, you know."

Yes.  I know.  I have a classroom party I've been dreading for weeks now.  Trust me, I could not forget Valentine's Day.  Schools, unlike us, really celebrate those fake holidays.  (Don't get me started on how much I detest Dr. Seuss' birthday…)

Anyway.

For the Sweetheart Swap, I ended up with TWO partners.  Twice the goodies?  Absolutely. I'll take it.

S from WyldyChylde sent me this box of goodies.  

Then, I got this package from Rachel.

She even included a toy for Scout..he loves that squeaky heart!

Too action-packed to get a proper picture…

Thanks guys!  Rest assured, the candy was enjoyed.

If you participated in the swap, now's the time to link up with Meg and me.  Thank you all so much for taking part.  We hope you had a great swap experience!

Purple tights

I had actually forgotten how uncomfortable pantyhose are.  Hadn't worn them in awhile.  I've been spoiled by cotton leggings.  

I felt like I was slowly being strangled all day long.  Not good.

Please don't mind the dirty boots, or the stuff on the floor that was "un-crop-able".  (Doesn't Scott realize that I can't be a serious blogger until he picks his chargers up off the floor?  I could've scanned the background first, I suppose.)

Dress: Banana Republic Outlet // Scarf: Land's End // Tights: Fred Meyer 

Boot socks: Gift // Boots: Steve Madden

Also linking up to WIWW and Random Wednesday

I've been mixing patterns like ca-razy lately.  I don't give it a second thought anymore, but I'm guessing others might think it's odd.

It was cold and wet and snowy (i.e. gross) outside. This is, in all honesty, why I bought the giant mirror.  It makes the dining room look bigger too.

Oh, I'm the mystery host this week for Wednesday Walkabout!  I love this link-up because it's so low-maintenance, I've made a lot of friends through it, and it's hosted by military wives.  (Nice, friendly military wives, not high-maintenance ones).
