tuesday remix: going back to cali

let me give you a recap of my night last night...i came home from work feeling a little under the weather. my belly hurt, my throat hurt and my neck, while starting to get better, has now made a downward spiral towards not being able to move it at all. i'm not trying to get sympathy...i just am trying to give you a little background. so i make dinner, get the kids to bed, take these pictures, down some theraflu and lay down in bed. now, any time i take theraflu or nyquil, i am out for the count. so i turn to chris and tell him that i just took some meds, and if the kids wake up, it's all him. chris is a deep sleeper and counts on me to hear the kids if they wake up. (miraculously, though, if i'm out of town, he can hear them just fine.) but i digress. i take the theraflu and about a half hour later, i am out. out cold. feeling nothing. hearing nothing. nothing. three in the morning rolls around and i wake up to my six-year old on top of me crying, "MAMA, WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING ME?" he is inconsolable. and chris is softly snoring next to me. nothing. so this is the story of how i have been up since three in the morning. it's kind of funny when you actually think about it.

as you may know, nora is on her way to beautiful california. lucky gal. while she's out, you all get me for the week. i hope you don't mind. i thought for nora's tuesday remix, i would do a little ode to california....so here goes.

this is the shirt/tunic/dress that i chose to use. it has been in my closet for a while, and i rarely wear it. it's one of those fun button-down shirts that gapes at the chest...like i talked about yesterday. it has forever had a pin in between the third and fourth buttons, and because of that, i haven't taken it out of the closet for a while. until today...
