Good morning after

Ugh. I am stuffed. Stuffed, I tell you! So hard to roll out of bed this morning, after July 4th festivities. Still digesting black and blue steaks, spiral ham, pasta salad, brownies, oatmeal cookies, a fun kiddie party dessert called Striped Delight, and countless Chocolate Cake shots. Parties at the Hooligan’s parents’ house are always day/night long affairs of grazing. And lots of booze.

When you’re that buzzed, though, setting off fireworks with a devil-may-care attitude is that much easier.

permalink Dressing for the occasion is fun, in a quirky, corny kinda way. But how can you resist when the colors red, white or blue look good on just about anyone?Here, red takes center stage in a fun romper. Give this a try if red is your color. Happy 4th of July!

permalink A frilly white dress with blue details makes a fresh statement at any 4th of July picnic. Silver sandals and a blue and red bag bring it all together. Give this a try if white is your color.

permalink Happy 4th of July! Give this a try if blue is your color. Nothing spells good ‘ol Americana than a flirty striped dress with a circle skirt. The bold, blue striped beach bag and red flip flops make the look relaxed and backyard picnic-friendly.

permalink Oh my God talk about coincidence! On my daily run with the Hooligan yesterday I told him in Blackboard’s voice, “Hurry up! Hurry up!”
I have to look up old Mr Squiggle clips to show him.
“Mr Squiggle, the man from the mooooon.”

Blackboard is 50 today too!  I just read that as I suspected, he was with Mr Squiggle from the start.
He looks as cranky as ever….

permalink I love the idea of using a fun, quirky piece as a basic. I’ve put this print dress to work in 3 different looks: errands day, beach picnic and lunch downtown. Click the picture to see!

permalink Walking around the lake everyday puts me in a nautical mood. I love black and white anything with touches of girly color.

  • Moi: Aww, the baby's being lovey to you!
  • Hooligan: *furrows his brow* We're only lovey on alternate Tuesdays. Grr.
permalink I substituted peaches for apples in the streusel cake recipe this morning. It was divine. Then the Hooligan fried up some sausage, sauteed some mushrooms and made hashbrowns. A hearty breakfast is only complete if you have dessert with it.
