True Me Tuesday
I've been slowly acquiring some new, nice clothes (one clearance sale at a time) and I must say I'd forgotten how much of a difference nice clothes can make. It's been quite a while since I spent any time in a clothing store (for myself) and most of my 'law school' wardrobe has come from Wal-Mart. But not lately and it seems to have made a difference.
I feel so much more feminine when I like what I wear. I feel like putting on some light lipstick and doing my hair a bit. I've been really amazed at how refreshing it's been to feel pretty--even in a pair of sweat pants or a hoodie.
Also it's nice not to have to dig through my drawers and grumble every single morning. I can just grab and know that whatever I pick will look nice, without alteration.
I think I've learned a great lesson about myself and perhaps about looking nice in general. Looking pretty takes keeping up with your wardrobe.
On that note, today Remewin has her 18 month old Dr.'s appointment, Vicbowin is at home feeling 'sick,' but harassing me nonetheless, and the Mischievite is living up to his name.
The best thing to happen to my munchkins of recent though is that Albowin announced to his dad last night that he's a member of the PG-13 club that "some girl with a blue shirt" made at school. The rules? You have to have seen a PG-13 movie. Albowin proudly announced that he has seen Harry Potter 4. I'll bet he didn't mention the part about how he was so scared I finally helped him make his retreat to another room.
So what makes you feel pretty? Or handsome? What gives you self-confidence?

Also getting my hair done (about $20 at Great Clips) makes my week.
Also I want to mention I LOVE to read your blog! You talk about such a variety of subjects that I never know what I will read about when I come to your blog.
When Ralexwin is done with school what I'm really looking forward to is a good hair cut and dye job. Maybe I'll even go so far as to get my nails done.
It seems like women do an awful good job of sacrificing their all for their families and I'm a perfect example. I've even started cutting my own hair. (eew)
And Gr8Life, thanks for loving my blog! I love being loved. :)
