Crazy was the name of the game today. Nuts, Cray-Cray, Wacky, Insane.
The weather was crazy wild. Lots of wind, and stinging rain. So… no one wanted to go outside much. Expecially me. Well, I am the only person here. But the dogs didn’t want to go out either…. which made me… and them a little crazy.
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.
But I got up and dressed up anyway. Because that is what I committed to doing. And it is only day 18….
What’s in store today:
Actually, I was pretty busy, all considered. I had my first lesson for Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging, and learned a little dance combination. Then I filmed my feet doing it, and made a blog page — you can see it HERE.
Then I spent pretty much the rest of the day pulling my hair out, trying to figure out why some photos on my blog were loading and some were not…
Problem solved. At this rate, I should look into a wig.
Here’s what I came up with for today!
I threw an oversized JJill Chambray shirt over Woolamina. I like the mandarin collar, and monkey fist knotted buttons. And the length hides all manner of sins.Bracelet was from a trip to Mexico a few years back.
Little embroidered bandolier bag was from Amazon. I think I got it for Old Spanish Days in Santa Barbara. Under $13 — holds a lot more than it looks. Click HERE for more.
Me… getting photobombed by the dogs… oh well. I need to do some posts with knitting projects!
(Have you seen my knitting page.??)
Virgin of Guadalupe pendant. I may have gotten that at the Grotto in Portland. Amazing grounds and sanctuary. ANd the gift shop is great.
The Dude is officially back from Helping #1. His job is done there, and I was missing having him at the beach. I am not so sure he was missing Rainey too much… although Rainey and I were in Portland everyweek.
WHEW!
The Dude is just a cranky old man dog… always has been. And Rainey likes to play… all the time, running around all cray-cray, pulling the pillows and blankets off everything, and crewing on Dude’s feet.

SOME OF MY RECENT POSTS:
day 23: act naturally
I find it hard to "act naturally" when staring down the lens of a camera... or, in my case, aad cellphone mounted on a tripod. It's has taken a bit of getting used to, mounting my phone on a $20 tripod, and then using the Bluetooth "clicker" to snap the photo. And...
day 22: one more cup of coffee
One more cup of coffee -- sometimes that is all you need! I used to drink coffee all day long. There was always one more cup of coffee in the coffee pot. And I never had any trouble sleeping. But, times have changed and now I just have one or two cups in the...
day 21: tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon... I'm just beginning to see... By the end of the week, I will be a quarter of the way through this challenge. Wow... it's gone fast! And I am beginning to see some unexpected benefits. I have been going through my current clothes with fresh eyes,...
day 20: monday, monday
Monday, Monday, so good to me. But then, every day is a good day. There are good days at the Beach, and good days in Portland. In the not to distant future, I am sure there will be good days visiting other places.. (For instance... I have still never been to...
day 19: sunny
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain. The weather is so unpredictable here in the Pacific Northwest. Rain yesterday, sun today... and snow coming this weekend. So we dress in layers, and in the winter... lots of them. This is working out quite well for...
day 17: shop around
My daughter told me... you better shop around!! And that is generally what we like to do. When we are in Portland, we go to one of the Goodwills. However, I found the best ever thrift shop near my home in Long Beach, Washington. I've been to the REACHOUT...
Love your newest journey! What fun! You did a great job with your first listen. I think you got it, gurl!
