Its Watcha been wearing Wednesday!!!   This week I was channeling my inner Peg Bundy with the Ruby Ribbon cheetah cami in full support...  I added the Ruby Ribbon Ballet Wrap Top in Peony and tied it in the front as a cardigan...  To bottom it off, I am wearing my favorite, the Ruby Ribbon lace panel leggings...   I am still amazed at these leggings...  I have had them since September and I wash them at least once a week and they still look just like the brand new ones hanging on my rack...  No color change...  No pilling...  I love the thicker material and the way they hide everything...  The lace inset down the side is very flattering and on trend... I can wear these leggings tucked in my boots or with a strappy sandal or like today with my close toed short heels...  Accessories today I added a long necklace from paparazzi and my cheetah flower hair clip that was a valentine gift from a special friend...  This is a great and fun look for spring...

This week I also have been wearing my tennis shoes given to me for Christmas by Mike, my brothers caregiver...   They are Curves brand from Avon...   How did he know that I would be joining Curves this year lol...  I was excited to have these to just slip in my bag and wear only at Curves...   They are cute and comfortable and probably get me a better work out hehehehe...   My Ruby Ribbon cami's have been working out really well for my workout...   I feel supported and confident and stylish too...   My leggings with the Intomi technology and skinny band do not move while I am working out...   These leggings are a workout game changer for me...  So I am styled head to toe...  Happy Wednesday almost Thursday!!!  Enjoy this day!! 

If I had my way 

I would be princess for a day

I would put my tiara and necklace on and say

"today is my very own holiday"

I would make the grown ups go away

so I may play princess all day...

I love this poem!!!  Written in 2010 by my then 6 year old grandkiddo Shelly...  She had to write a story using all her spelling words, and this is what she came up with...   What girl wouldn't love to be princess for a day...   I know I would!!!   I love the line, I would make all the grown ups go away so I may play princess all day...  Here I am at 53 and there are days I would love to make all the grown ups and the grown up responsibilities just go away...   There are days that I do just that...   

Its kind of funny that when I think of being a princess my first thought is being outside with the birds and wild animals happily all around...   To be able to just be, with no particular chore that has brought me outside, and to be able to enjoy the sunshine, birds chirping, and wind blowing with not a care is what I think of as a princesses life...   Oh and there would probably be some singing,  and dancing too...  

Then there are the other days where I am Queen...  

   There are things to plan, things to get done, and the life of a queen is not as much fun...  

No time for the birds, and no time to sing,  just keeping up with all that's happening...

Dishes to do,  laundry must get done, no time to waste or to bask in the sun... 

Bills must be paid, mail must be sent, no not today that moneys been spent...

The life of a queen is full of decisions... and filling the home with needed provisions...

day in and day out, the castle she runs... 

Thank goodness princess charming knows how to have fun...

Prince charming reminds me to stop and to breathe,  to enjoy all the beauty that our castle brings

to take moments in time and spend them outside, Do watch the birds and the squirrels go and hide

Prince charming says I was waiting for you, when i was building this castle for two...

So today I am reminded that I don't have to play, because I get to be a princess everyday...  

So for now  I guess what that means every once in a while i will have to be queen... 

  I do live the life of a princess...  Oh and my Father truly is King!!!  

I put Revive the Sunday Drive on my vision board!!!   So...  We have added an outing with the dogs to our Sunday afternoons when we can...   Both Todo and Dorothy can not wait to go for a ride and then wonder with us wherever Tom has decided to take us...     This particular Sunday it was a new place...   The riverbed near our house...   It was a bit windy but a beautiful day to just stroll...  We found some trees with very unusual ways of stretching out their branches...  Their bark was thick and narly...   While we were there a dust devil blew through right next to us...  It sounded like a train was coming as it swirled the leaves, branches and sand...  
     I did find a couple of rusty treasures to add to my collection including a very large bolt and a piece of rebar...  There were no birds of distraction for Dorothy so she stayed right with us...   It is amazing to see Todo try and keep up with her...   Our Sunday Stroll is a great way to wind down the week and get ready for the next one...  All four of us loved the time together...   Great way to revive the Sunday drive!!!
