Share the Covers--Kissing You and Still in Love
Although I'm usually a rock/hip hop girl at heart, I do have a soft spot for a beautiful ballot. Here is the original of a song I fell in love with back when Romeo & Juliet the movie came out by Des'ree . . .
And here is the cover by Beyonce . . . (although if I remember correctly, Beyonce at first claimed this was not a cover, but her own song or there was some kind of Court fiasco regarding trademark rights to the song or something to that effect)
My hormones have been all over the map. I seriously don't remember being this emotional with any of my other pregnancies (not that I wasn't, but I don't recall). The flaw in myself is that my "emotional" state usually doesn't involve crying or sadness. I get angry, frustrated and defensive. It's unfortunate, but it's who I am. I can admit it.
And my poor, sweet husband usually has to deal with it. He handles it like a champ. He doesn't complain at all and, in kind, just takes it with a grain of salt. For example, a few weeks ago I was asking him to check on something for Kaden's birthday present while I was out for my sister's baby shower. He very calmly told me that he couldn't for some reason or another and I irrationally got annoyed and left the house in a tizzy. (I always realize how irrational I can be in these times after the fact.)
And when I came home, I found that not only had he checked on the thing I asked him to, but my house was completely spotless from top to bottom. The laundry was done. The floors were swept and mopped. The dishes were done. The bathrooms were cleaned. Our room was organized and clean. Man, did I ever feel like shit. He won. For sure. Best payback ever.
I do not deserve this man. But I sure am damn grateful he sticks around to tolerate me.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
