HELLO!!!!!

I am back from sunny Jamaica and I know I have a thousand and one things to update y’all on!  First I need to gather my thoughts and de-clutter my life… when you get back from a whole week of vacation, doesn’t it feel like everything else around you needs picked up and put back in place?  That’s sort of how I feel.  I have some updates I need to make for Mississippi Women Bloggers, I need to schedule out some of my own posts for this week, and I don’t even want to embarrass myself by talking about the status of my room at the present moment.  So as I’m trying to gather my thoughts on everything I need to take care of around me, my mind is still basking in the sun.  Oh, how I miss Jamaica and quality time with my cousin.  I must say, it was absolutely perfect!  There are probably a few things I’d change about the trip – the choppy water that we experienced the entire time and the amount of water I drank.  I seriously didn’t get enough water, I tried… I really really tried, but I just didn’t do it.  I’m fairly certain I got sick on Friday while we were heading to the airport due to dehydration.  All is well now, but I would change those few things.  The rest of the trip – absolutely wonderful!  I’ll be recapping that in phases over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

I BOUGHT A FLORAL DRESS.

I would never have pegged myself as a floral dress wearing girl, but I borrowed my cousin’s one night (pictured above) and I fell in love with it.  Floral dresses now remind me of Jamaica and sun and flattering complements.  One night, we were out dancing and I was wearing this floral dress.  My hair was up in a bun and I was wearing my glasses.  Also, remember that I do have dark brown hair.  When I finished the wobble, which I must add… I’m exceptionally good at, a guy leaned over to me and asked if I had ever been told that I looked like Zooey Deschanel?  My response: a lot of laughter and a lot of thank you’s because that girl is cute, spunky, and sexy!

I feel like the girly floral dress assisted with the reference, so when I saw one at Forever 21 for only $13 (WHAT!?) I couldn’t resist.  I can’t wait for it to warm up in Mississippi so I can wear it.  I also think I was a shopping frenzy when I returned because I wanted to buy all things warmer weather – I bought a pleather skirt, again… another purchase I wouldn’t have expected from myself.  I did buy 4 basic t’s to wear to work this summer, so at least I’m not completely losing my marbles!

Anywho – I had a fantastic time, I’m so thankful for the opportunity, but I  am also glad to be back.  I hope you weren’t completely neglected last week, I did have a few things published on the blog.  I hope you all enjoyed Kitty’s Smoothie Prep post as much as I did!  Can’t wait to share all about my trip, especially my adventure to Dunn’s River Falls!! My cousin and I both agree that it was our favorite part, hands down!  She’s going to send me a flash drive of all the pics she took, then I’ll send it back with mine included so we can share.  She had the water proof camera, so I’ll have to wait on Dunn’s River Falls when I receive the pictures from her.
