I’m back! Took a day off from blogging and welcoming this hump day with arms wide open! The hubs and I had an incredible long weekend; mostly with just the two of us! At the end of last week we got some depressing news, we’ve been looking forward to the day when we can put our condo on the market and move to the burbs. You know… a back yard, a porch, picket white fence, trees, open windows – awwww breath of fresh air! So finally, we’re there, ready to put our place on the market and then SLAP… reality hits. Of course you can sell your place but be prepared to bring a big chunk of change to the table. Oh, the real-estate market YOUR a gem! We’re not talking 10k… not even 15k… not even 18k… just to sell our place. Forget about a downpayment on the perfectly little home for 3 or 4 in the burbs! Johnny and I are excited for the next steps in life. Children {one day} being a big part of our plans. Question/Answer time… #1: how do we continue to live here? We are PACKED in… I mean PACKED in… I don’t even have an undie drawer {don’t worry the hubs does}. #2: how do we parent a child in a open studio/condo, one bedroom/one bath, itty bitty on the square foot side?! I know, it sounds near impossible but thankfully after several emails and a coffee emotion pour one of my besties, thankfully she convinced me that it can be done. And it can be done… with the help of a bigger storage unit and rearranging of our furniture – life is going to be just fine! So folks there you have it. The hubs and I will remain happy – in our 800sf open studio… for awhile. We’ll learn to accept… all with smiles!
We’re putting our buying/selling plans on hold and embracing our cozy comforts. Over the weekend we decided to soak up as much of our backyard as possible. Charlotte is such an amazing city with SO MUCH! We’re lucky to live in the Southend/Dilworth area, despite the size of our living conditions. Lots of culture, great restaurants, fun bars, the milk man, and the mail men that hand deliver the mail… and so much more! JT and I walked then hoped the rail a few blocks to Fat Buritto on Sunday… on Saturday we spent the afternoon in the same area but sat outside and soaked up the sun at the Common Market… a few gallery hopping’s too! 😉
Incase you missed the memo…. WIDE legged pants are BACK!!!! Whooohoo!! And here’s an example of why I don’t discard anything – these pants are from……hummmm 2003?!?
{What I’m Wearing} Pants: NO CLUE! No tags either. Shirt: J.Crew, Socks: Target, Wedges: Banana, Hat: Urban, Shades: Kate Spade, Bag: Chico’s {omgosh I know!} Necklace: Anthro
{My Makeup} Norm. I get terrible fever blisters when I’m under stress and one from 2 months ago has left a scar on the peak of my upper lip. Anyone have any ideas on how to make it fade?!
{My Hair} Not sure what’s going on??? Pinned to the side.
