Popping up outta my rabbit hole.

Queen Misty 1997-2014

Hiya Blogland!!! I've finally returned to the land of the living or something such. I just fell down a rabbit hole in the last few weeks. Between the never-ending cold and snow, my back issues, a nasty flare-up of the Fibromyalgia,  and the crapfest of dealing with the Workman's Comp folk I just lost my mojo to blog.

To be quite honest I have been in a nice blue funk. I finally started some physical therapy last month which helped the Fibromyalgia pain some although did nothing back-wise. I finally got an MRI and it shows that I have a slipped/bulging/herniated disc that is causing the sciatica in my left leg. I see a neurosurgeon this week to discuss my options for treatment.

Being housebound and somewhat immobile has made me slowly lose my mind I think. I only get out for doctor's appointments, PT and church. To say I have cabin fever is an understatement!! I have been getting lots of wonderful doggie loving. They are glued on my lap!

I've been slogging along with the dollhouse. I can only work maybe 1/2 hour at a time so it's been a slow-go. I hope to have the grand reveal around April 1st.

At the top I placed a picture of our Queen Misty. She was 17 years old on January 8th. She had been failing (kidneys, etc.) for some time and we had to help her over the rainbow bridge last month. She was undisputedly the QUEEN in this house. she also had a "thing" for fresh produce from the grocery store.

Anyhow, getting back into the swing of things!!! I have a few not-so-exciting outfits to post. I need to take a picture of my PT outfit as it's the one I'm in the most!

Yeah, I'm not setting the style world on fire but any day that I'm not in yoga pants and an oversize fleece is a win!!

Everyone have a wonderful day and I'll be back on Wednesday with new cute doggie pictures!!

Well this week could've gone better

Here's the porch in the snow for Desiree!!

Hiya Blogland from snowy, cold Western Maryland!! WOW--it's brutally cold and we've gotten 14 inches of snow since Sunday with more to come Saturday. I love winter and snow but this is getting ridiculous!!

My work opened late on Monday. I dressed for a snowy, cold day. Thrifted sweater, DIY stirrup jeans and my Aerosole boots with the nice sturdy sole.

Here's a picture of the leopard coat of Awesomeness reversed to the waterproof side:

I trekked into my office Monday amongst the ice and snow as carefully as I could. I managed to get in the front door and promptly slipped on the wet floor. I AM the Queen of Klutzlvania after all. My right leg slid out and my left stayed planted. I was able to catch myself before I hit the floor. I wrenched my left hip, knee and my back. So I've been vegging out in the recliner taking some awesome happy pills.

My sartorial choices are rather limited this week. I did get a picture of this STUNNING Sears polyester hostess gown I scored at the Goodwill Saturday for $3. I'm thinking it's from the 70's. It was perfect for decorating the Xmas tree. Lauren thought I'd finally lost my mind!!

My little helper in her Santa sweater.

I had a really cool plaid outfit planned for Spygirls 52 Pick-me-up: Mad for Plaid. I wore this outfit to a cookie exchange this weekend. The shirt is thrifted Chaps tartan. I guess this will have to work for this challenge!!

This week is also Shoe Shine at Citizen Rosebuds. I'm sharing these awesome Nine & Co. ankle booties I scored for $4!! Super comfortable--they have a little 1 inch wedge.

I want to share some more Christmas decor. This is our Master Bathroom:

I painted the little Santa. The large was thrifted for $1 at a yardsale.

Yes, I decorate the toilet!!!

I made the stuff on the wreath back when I did craft shows.

Yard Sale Santa for $1

DIY Angel tree

Here's some pix of the Hall/Guest bathroom decorations:

Thrifted garland and a DIY card garland

Christmas Charming Tales collection. Lauren get's me this figurines for different event.

Bleached and glittered trees, old candles and some Epsom salts

Thrifted Nativity, trees, and Epsom salts in an old pedestal dish

DIY Kitty Tree, Santa made by 90+ neighbor lady and thrifted vintage Santa & deer

DIY Bottlebrush trees, vintage angels and elves

Vintage ornament tree. The base is a block of wood with an extendable radio antennae to put the bulbs on.

Everyone have a fabulous day and I'll be back later this week with more Christmas decorations!!
