Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only for an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost

So yesterday's nice taste of sunny, beautiful weather is a thing of the past today. (Hence Robert Frost's Nothing Gold Can Stay) It's back to being gray and rainy. The perfect excuse to stay in doing nothing but watching Turner Classic Movies. Though I did go to the dentist and got good news. The dry sockets are healed! I went straight to Sonic for happy hour and got my favorite cherry vanilla diet dr pepper and drank it THROUGH A STRAW! Happiest moment ever. You never realize the things you take for granted until you can't do them anymore. Anyone who's ever had a dry socket knows exactly what I mean. And also, tonight is 24 night. HALLELUJAH! Mondays are never the best day of the week, but having Jack Bauer kicking ass to look forward to all day, it makes it a little better. I just can't believe this is the last season. What will we do next year, with no 24 nights?

I went for a gray ensemble today due to the gray weather. I guess this is the opposite of my wishful dressing. But I'm wearing my favorite dress again, this time as a skirt. So far on this blog I've worn it just as a dress, as a top, and now as a skirt. It's so versatile, which is why it's my favorite. I love having pieces like this in my wardrobe because it adds so much, there are so many possibilites. I have a dress, skirt, and top all in one. And it's super cute to boot!







And sweet readers, if you believe in this sort of thing, please pray for my little dachshund you met in this post. She's started having back trouble again, a common problem for dachshunds and she's in a lot of pain. We're very worried about her, as back trouble can even be fatal for little dachshunds. We love her so much and I hate to see her in her little bed, unable to get up and move around. I just want her to get better ASAP!

Wishful Dressing

Do you ever have those days where you wake up and the weather is all rainy and nasty and you say, "No, sorry, I'm not dressing for this today" and you dress like it's the most beautiful sunny day outside? It's been raining all week and today I was done. I dressed in a floral dress, sandals, with a big flower/bow in my hair and said HA! to the gray sky and the rain. Can't keep Kaitlin from wearing what she wants! And what do you know, about half an hour before I took these pictures, the sun came out and he's been hanging out ever since. So, it's not wishful thinking, it's wishful dressing, and my friends, it works.

Today's pictures are "just hurry and get this over with I'm not in the mood, but I've gotta update that blog!" pictures. The lighting was bad, I didn't like the spot, but alas, I wanted to make this little update, so here it is. My Friday outfit, which I don't even like all too much, and I'm probably going to change before going out tonight, but this is what I wore to have lunch with my sister at her school (so fun, hehe) and lounge around the house cleaning and playing Mario Kart.









IT'S FRIDAY! Yay! And this Friday, I am not having oral surgery, in fact, I am nearly recovered from my TWO, yes I said TWO, dry sockets. (The chances of anyone getting one is slim, but getting two, I'm pretty sure I've gotta be in a record book somewhere..) So tonight I'm going out. I'm spending the night with my friends who I haven't spent time with in well over a week due to work and the wisdom teeth. I can't wait, tonight can't get here fast enough. What are all of you doing this weekend? I hope you have fun whatever it is!
