weekend casual | happy december

Our December has certainly started off with a bang.

One of our dear friends who moved to London about 6 years ago invited us to spend a late Thanksgiving dinner with his family. Besides seeing him of course, the big draw was that he opened up his wine cellar and generously shared his delicious wine. Nothing compares to the Silver Oak!


And yesterday we helped celebrate the birthday of a new dear friend. P&S are the coolest couple and we are glad to have gotten to know them better this year.

And while December is here in spirit, the weather tells you other wise. Both days have had highs in the upper 80s. Global warming, anyone?

And I mistakenly got caught up with watching The Walking Dead and had a difficult time falling asleep last night, so no yoga for me this morning. Oh well, stuff happens.

A bit restless

For some reason our little vacation over the weekend has thrown off our schedule more than usual this week. Normally I have no trouble falling and staying asleep but we've just been restless the past few nights.


Good thing my closet is like Garanimals and everything can be mixed and matched for easy wardrobe remixing!

I love having longer days in the summer but I wonder if the extended light is making it more difficult for me to sleep at night. I usually love crawling in bed and falling asleep almost immediately but it hasn't been happening this week. That's why I forced myself to get up early this morning. Hopefully that will wear me out!

You probably can't even tell I went to my hair stylist yesterday! Actually, to be more specific, I went to my colorist. He evened out the color and got rid of my roots. My hair is still lighter than my natural color but I definitely prefer the caramel brown over the really light color. Since I want to grow out some of the layers, they suggested I be patient and wait a bit longer.

Finally, I wanted to try out the pencil skirt in a more casual fashion, to extend the wearability of said item. I think I succeeded, and it's actually more comfortable than a mini to me. (And I have cheated a little bit on the no-shopping thing. I went to Target last week and saw a few Calypso necklaces on sale so I couldn't resist.) Yeah for remixing!

{Hmmm, seems like I had a lot to say this morning. Maybe I just have a lot on my mind, which is why I can't sleep!}

Is it the weekend yet?

I could not sleep last night. Ugh. Hate when that happens! Finally at 12:30 AM I gave in and took half an ambien. That did the trick, but unfortunately didn't get up to run. Oh well. I am ready for the weekend already!

Up way too early

I was pretty tired last night but wok up at about 3:30 this morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. So I am surfing and posting. I guess I'll go work out here in a few. Ugh.
