Because why not. I also have not had anything profound to say on this blog in 3 months. (If ever.)

1. Spreadable Butter

No, really, you don't know what you're missing out on.

2. Angry Birds RIO

I don't know why I like this game so much because I am truly, truly terrible at it. Yes, I have had to resort to internet cheating walkthroughs to help me out.

3. My Husband's New Car

It's a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu, bought with 20k miles on it. Oh, and paid in full. A nice upgrade from B's former grandpa car, a beige 2003 Buick Century, that he had indeed been driving since 2003.

4. This video of my baby learning to walk

At 14 months, 1 week, and 5 days. Just when I was starting to think she would never do it. She's still not fully walking yet (video was taken Sunday), but making progress!

5. Kinsi's Coat

Awesome Easter outfit from Anima Kinsi.

Seriously, y'all. I think the floors are still reverberating from when my jaw hit it after I saw this. And that was four days ago.

I just realized that this linkup is actually a Wednesday thing, but it's open for submissions for longer than a day. So go check out Hallie's blog and her adorable new baby.

What I Wore Sunday (Vol. 15)

Happy Divine Mercy Sunday!

I have heard more than one person (including my husband) say that Easter is over. To that I say:

50 days, baby!

As for my mass attire, I didn't plan on wearing jeans to church. We didn't even think we'd be going to church last night, but it worked out so we did. So this should really be titled "What I Wore to Look At Cars After B Got Off Of Work."

Sweater: Croft & Barrow hand-me-down from MIL // Skinnies (in short length for my little stumps!): Old Navy // Shoes: Old Navy clearance rack score // Necklace: some cheapo store (Body Central) in the Pensacola mall // Trench coat: XOXO brand from TJMaxx(?) a few years back

I'm so glad we can actually go outside with more than our face exposed now. Although B did ask where the other half of my shoe was. Boys.

Hooray for link-ups!

And today you get a bonus. Since I was too busy celebrating my BIL's baptism and full communion with the Catholic Church and whatnot to post last week, here is what I wore to Easter Vigil, via selfies in the rain while Dad held the umbrella:

Same coat as above, a purse that didn't match but I didn't care, and a dress that I wore to a friend's potluck farm wedding 4 years ago.

Good ol' Dad in the background again.
This was my FB profile pic for a solid block of time.

Oh, and you know how I said we were looking at cars? Well, neither of us brought the checkbook (accidentally-on-purpose?), but B will be coming home with a new (to him) car tomorrow. We're paying in full. We're crazy blessed, I know. (But we're also both frugal cheapskates who are proficient at setting sensible goals and sticking with them.)
