The morning started out with me inserting both contact lenses into the same eye and walking around my house for 5 minutes wondering why my vision was so blurry. After being at work for an hour, I received a call from a police officer stating that someone had driven their car through my fence because apparently they didn't see a mound of construction dirt at their alleged speed of 10km/hour. We all know I hated that white chain-link fence but that wasn't how I pictured its demise! After work I was looking forward to getting a relaxing pilates/tai-chi/yoga workout in at the gym but by the time I got there I discovered that all the fitness classes were cancelled city-wide due to instructor training. Having some extra time, I then drove to my bank to deposit my pay cheque but the local restaurant goers had taken all the parking spots and I was forced to turn away, no longer feeling richer than you think. I then had two neighbours who I'd never met before, knock on my door (while I was clan in monkey print fleece pjs) to ask me if I knew my fence was damaged and I could have sworn that it was the same person returning twice, same name, same appearance, same house? Bizarre. My sleep was virtually non-existent because my man was out of town so all the creaks & groans of our older home that are endearing in the daytime are suspicious and creepy at night. I tried falling asleep to classical music on my tv but the channel kept switching to Keeping up with the Kardashians and waking me up to shrieks of hormonal women and Kim getting her butt x-rayed to prove she doesn't have implants! |

Today is already starting off on a better foot with a delicious green smoothie, my new pussy bow leopard print blouse and being one day closer to the weekend! |
Have you ever had one of those days?
That sounds like a whopper of a day! When it rains it pours, right? I love your bow tie leopard shirt. Aodrable! Heather
ReplyDeleteOof that sounds like a doozy of a day!! Glad today is better! I love both outfits, but the top one with the cute top and jacket is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHAH Her butt xrayed to prove no implants. That's funny. And sucks your TV kept switching to that. I hate days like that!
ReplyDeleteOh well, the upside is tomorrow will very likely be better :)
Awww sorry about the rough times. Things tend to come in waves, so hopefully it will get better. I'd probably fall asleep easier to the Kardasians than music! Lawl.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. Started my day tripping over 3 bodies in my living room. Ugh. Tomorrow will be better!
ReplyDeleteYou always have the most amazing shoes. And that top OMG...it's to die for! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMane what a day you had for sure. I had a few month ago I put my contacts in the wrong eye and didn't realize it until I got to work. I have no idea how I made it to work driving that way. Your outfit are super cute. I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are dressed that cute you can handle any type of craziness!!! And Monkey jammies just top off the night!
ReplyDeleteHope things are going well for you and now, you can get that new fence!
Have a great weekend.
Goodness, what a day! I hope you have an awesome, relaxing, perfect weekend to make up for it! I love both looks--the colors are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a crappy day. At least it's over! I lol'd at the contact thing - that's something I would do (but haven't yet). Love the leopard print blouse, it's quite a find :)
ReplyDeleteso true emily, nothing like a nightmare day to make you appreciate the normal. great black jacket, & leopard blouse.
ReplyDeleteso bummed i missed the fashion challenge but you look adorable. i love the animal print top. and how fab is that jacket? i know how you feel, when my hubby is away i feel like i notice all the noises in the house and often let one of the kiddos sleep in bed with me!

I love both of these looks - you look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I love this quote "Sometimes we need April Fool esque days to make us appreciate the great days even more." It's so true. After my recent string of back luck, I can only think that it's for the best and I'll learn from it (learn what? I haven't gotten to that stage of enlightenment yet, but I hope it's right around the corner ha) And, that better days will come.
Hope your string of bad luck has passed!

Love your leopard look! So chic!
ReplyDeleteThat's a month's worth of weirdness in one time. The neighbour thing - wth?
ReplyDeleteBTW, what's happening with the fence, then? Will your home insurance cover something you guys like better?
