I’ve been trying, trying, trying to save money lately. It’s not easy when you have a love affair with clothes and shoes, but I keep thinking of the end goal.  These days, money tends to go on plane tickets to Melbourne, but I still cave and buy the odd thing now and then, especially when they are an awesome price. I ducked into Best & Less the other day and tried on a few things. I was in love with SO much of the stock they have in at the moment. I didn’t end up buying the skirt above, but it’s only $15! Everything  I tried on was a size 18 and under $35.

I’ve been in a bit of a funk, I miss my man friend and the freedom I feel in Melbourne. My insomnia has kicked in recently and golly does that mess with my head. I need to snap back into a good and proper routine. I’ve got a fly by Melbourne visit not this weekend, but the one after, for The Curvy Couture Roadshow. While I’m super excited for that, I think I’m more looking forward to being able to talk to my man in person! (Can you tell i’m in a lonely-long-distance-relationships-are-poop kind of mood!?)

My parents went away for 2 weeks, so it was just Tonka and I. If you didn’t know, I live in a granny flat at my parents place. I have to say, I really missed their dogs. I think having Betsy and Aussie around has helped with losing Frodo. I don’t remember a time when I never had a dog. I’m glad I have Tonka to help me through though.

So! What’s new with you?
