This & That

Yesterday morning, I headed out for a walk with Laila.  It was really gloomy out, but the kind of gloomy that I really like (on occasion). It felt like some major weather was just waiting to happen. Sure enough, as we were walking, it began snowing really fat, fluffy flakes.  It was so pretty. I snagged a few pictures with my phone (love Instagram!).

By the end of the walk, the ground was covered!

Of course, by mid-afternoon, the snow was all melted and there was only mud left in its place. Laila has been getting 5 minutes outside and then I make her come in. Otherwise, I tend to forget she's out there and that means TROUBLE when there is mud around.

I spent the day doing who knows what, just lounging, relaxing, and doing a few house things. Totally forgot to do my discussion board post for grad class (whoops!). Vacation will do that to 'ya! I did squeeze in 4 miles on the treadmill and it felt pretty good.

Today I'm going to finish cleaning the house and doing errands. Does anyone else hate returning clothes? I need to do that and I ALWAYS put it off. I'm going to try not to spend any money today. I've noticed the trend that when I'm on vacation, I tend to spend way more frivolously than usual.

Yesterday I bought a rug for our master bedroom (which I've been wanting to do for the longest time). I actually saw the rug first on Pinterest, but the site it led me too was a little pricier than I wanted to spend. I went on overstock to look at other options and came across the same rug for much cheaper. I knew I wanted to get a rug with a geometric pattern and I love this. Hopefully it'll look nice in person too! The only thing is, it's technically an "outdoor" rug...so we'll see how it feels in person. There was a review of the rug that said the person used it inside, so I decided to give it a try.

I also bought a console table to go behind the couch in the basement. I've noticed this console table a few times online when I've looked around, so I finally bit the bullet and bought it. It was on sale, so that made it easier!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
