It's over. I've made the jump. I'm all spring colors and light-weight fabrics--no matter the temperature. There's only so much room in a girl's wardrobe for the winter and summer clothes to co-exist (especially the 2x5 hole I call a closet).
Out with the old, in with the new. Actually it's probably more like what's old is new again, considering I got my inspiration for this color combination from a photo of one of my mom's full-on flower-power dresses. But who cares where the freshness comes from if it's crazy awesome? Just sayin'...

Waking up is hard to do.

Especially when you know it's going to be yet another lazy, summer day with the hair pulled into a top-knot that edges dangerously close to being granny bun-ish. When there's nothing on the schedule except eating about a bazillion icee-pops while spending long, leisurely hours with the kiddos who are lamenting how few dark sleeps are left until school starts again. 

Yet, wake up I must. I'm flying out to market my book, After Nathaniel, at the International Christian Retailer's Show this week, so...enough with the lazy. Must go don my best pencil skirt and at least try to look professional.

Wow. How will I ever manage that?
