It’s Friday again! Yay!!! I’m super excited today because I finally got my stitches out of my hand and I have full range of motion which is a plus. I still have to work on the trigger finger since it’s a little stiff but I’m progressing very well so far. After being in the house for 2 weeks, I’m ready to get back to the office for a change of pace.
Not a whole lot happened this week but I was able to rest and spend quality time with my family. Working from home does have it’s perks.
Today, I received chocolate covered stawberries (so yummy) and a flower bouquet with smiley face from my office mates. It was such a pleasant surprise.
Since being home, I’ve been playing around with outfits to see what I could re-work in my closet, while the weather is still pleasant. The dress that I’m wearing was purchased in the spring and has never been worn. I decided to pull it out of the closet to see how I could style it.
What do you guys think? Leave me a comment below.
Wishing everyone a great weekend! Xoxo!
Thank you to the lovely Lady Cas of Myasthenia Gravis for nominating me for this award. Sorry it took me sooo long to complete it. One thing that I love about these awards is that we get to learn a little more about each other outside of the usual daily blogs.
Here are the rules:
So, without further ado, here are 7 random things about me:
My nominees are:
I can’t wait to learn more about all of you. Enjoy!

I like to dress up as much as the next person but there are times when I want my everyday look to be easy. Sometimes, I prefer to be comfortable more than cute. I know for a lot of folks, that is the other way around. They will wear 6-inch heels because it’s cute and sexy and at the end of the day suffer for it.
I chose this Forever 21 shirt dress for that very reason…for comfort. In an earlier post, I mentioned how I love wearing tunics with tights because they’re the most comfortable pieces of clothing you can wear without sacrificing style. This shirt dress is super comfy and paired with leggings and boots, you can’t go wrong! These Steve Madden boots with its leather front and textured back are amazing as well. I could wear them all day…that’s how comfortable they are! I can tell that they’ll also keep my little piggies warm when the cold weather sets in.
Wishing everyone a great Tuesday!
Cheers!

Hello Lovelies!
It’s about that time again where I take stock of all the good things that occurred this week. So let’s get right to it.
This past weekend, I had brunch with my lovely friend Hope. I missed her birthday celebration at the vineyards so I made it a point to take her out. We ate at this lovely cafe called The Morning Rose Cafe and had such a nice meal while engaging in good conversation.
Our meal started off with these delicious homemade corn muffins with a side of butter and jelly. This wasn’t my first time eating here so I was definitely looking forward to this yummy goodness. 🙂
Then it was on to the really good stuff! I had a waffle with cinnamon butter and scrambled eggs.
Hope had Fried Banana Crepes with a side of home fries. Yum!
We washed these down with tea and coffee and so ended our brunch!
That same day, I paid a visit to Target and decided to pick up a game of Monopoly so that I could introduce it the boys and also re-acquaint myself with the game. This was one of my favorite childhood games and I’m hoping that the kids can make some good memories playing it as well. So far, my 9-year has asked to play a few times. Yay! 🙂
You may recall me mentioning that I went in for carpal tunnel surgery on Monday. So, you may associate that with pain and recovery, and yes, that’s exactly what it is. BUT, a few good things came out of it. First, that pulling and pain that I felt in my neck and shoulder…GONE!
Second, I was forced to slow my butt down. I was able to watch a few foreign films with my husband and I even watched some animated films with the kids. I watched Frozen (again) on my own because they weren’t having it, haha. I love that movie…sorry.
Third, and most importantly, I rested. Oh, how I slept! It felt wonderful.
I’m working from home for a few days and typing with my left hand only, and it does become tiring. So I have to take breaks and I do feel more comfortable doing that at home than in the office.
I’m looking forward to the weekend so that I can rest this left arm but for now I must keep on pushing on.
I encourage you all to stay positive. Despite what you may be going through, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Focus on tomorrow, forget about what happened yesterday. As always, thank you for reading.
Until next time!
Xoxo,
gail
