Sweatpants day...

I made a New Year's Resolution a couple of years ago that I would start getting "dressed" everyday. By the time I had a couple of kids, my laid-back personality, which was already prone to "pajama days," had fully succombed to days on end of staying in my pj or sweatpants. As you can imagine, this did little for the way I felt about myself nor for the way I looked. Anyway, one day I wore make up, not something that I did very often in the those days (maybe once every 6 months) and a friend of mine made a HUGE deal about how much better I looked. I began to rethink my relaxed attitude toward dressing and make up. So then came my resolution....and I have to admit that I've kept it fairly well. I'm not always dressed early, but I do get there almost every day. But I noticed on a friend's post a couple of weeks ago that she was having a "sweatpants day." And suddenly, the urge to stay in sweats and just relax was back! So as Tim is gone for a couple of days (I didn't want to subject him to my day of frumping!) today was sweatpants day! I've satisfied my urge and am ready to get dressed tomorrow for Tim coming home. But today did not come without benefits. Here's a little of what I did on my slouchy day.... Played with Tim's camera...

Baked fresh bread...

The problem with fresh bread is that it's too hard to wait to eat it...

And finally, a sign that maybe I've gotten really used to living here...enjoying Ramen noodles with EXTRA hot chili oil...yep, sadly, that's oil floating there on top. I suppose that will play into next year's resolutions...
