“Forgive me pretty baby, but I always take the long way home.” Tom Waits wrote it but Norah Jones really brings it home. And I think about those words and wonder if the “long way” is creative avoidance or a statement about finding one’s way. No matter, it’s a great song. Have a listen HERE.
Tomorrow, I’ll be taking the long way home.. literally. It would be faster to take the I -5 part of the way… but then really. So forgive me, I’ll always take the long way home.
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
What’s in store this week:
I’m in Portland, until tomorrow – and then head the long way home to the coast of southern Washington. Today, I had a rhythm class online, where I banged my drum a bit, ( 3/3 of for the daily practice goal) I had lunch with My Daughter the Chef, Ran Errands with Number 1, and played with the dogs. Also… a trip to Mud Bay to pick up treats for Rainey’s interactive dog toys… mostly to keep Rainey busy. She likes THIS one!
Still need to lace up my shoes and practice my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class…. and have been checking out another pair, so I don’t have to drag them with me back and forth to the coast. Frye oxfords… be still my heart!
Speaking of Rainey, this is me trying to get a photo… while her being a miss silly pants. See her story HERE!
By the way, I was super impressed with the folks at Mud Bay. Not only will you find healthy food, and well-made supplies — but they DONATE lots of money to shelters!! I am not sure if they are in your area…. but if they are, check them out.
They don’t give me anything for this endorsement — but Dude and Rainey wouldn’t mind a lifetime of treats… ahem… just saying….
Here’s what I came up with for today!
The Details:
Woolamina with H&M basic boxy sweatshirt in pale pink, and pink knit buff — doubles as a mask in a pinch!
Pink Leggings are high waisted, compression style, and quite warm!
The reason Rainey wears diapers is because she has Spina Bifida. Even though she is completely mobile, she will always need to wear diapers. But we find cute diaper covers like THESE!
Here are some of the plants at Number 1’s house. Looking forward to spring, and more things starting to grow.
That’s it for now. Tomorrow is another day!
