Daily Stuff: December 12, 2012

By Athomewithcat

There was frost on the ground this morning which means muddy little paws…

Anna waiting for Miss Ellie to return from her walk.

How was everyone’s 12-12-12?  Blaine had a board meeting and we joked about how 12 board members were meeting at 12 noon on 12-12-12!  Me?  No meetings for me today.  We did have a Christmas dinner to attend for one of our local banks.  That was about it and…I’m not complaining one bit!    I did manage to get a few things accomplished.  Still working on finding homes for the stuff.  Having company come is a wonderful motivator!

It was a consignment/thrifty day…

 

 

…minus the jeans and tank.  Once a year I make a big purchase of tanks and basic t-shirts in red, black, white, turquoise, etc. – winter colors.   I try to buy good quality because they are going to be worn through all the seasons.  They will get a good workout and need to hold up.  Fall/Winter, I use them to layer under pieces.  In the Spring, some layering with blouses & light blazers.  Summer they can stand alone or with an added scarf or piece of jewelry.

Last Spring, when Sarah and I headed up to buy these basics, we caught a sale at Forever 21.  The tanks were long enough for me – not easy to find.   One thing she and I both have noticed is how the tanks ride up.  Ugh!  So disappointing!  They are fine if you are using them to tuck into your pants/skirts.  I’m thinking they will be used for jammy shirts here shortly.  Pun definitely intended!

Sorry Heather!  No self-portrait today.  I will keep trying!
