Once more unto the breach, dear friends

If you happen to follow my twitter and were on it last Wednesday at 1:26 am est you would have read the following tweet: "insomnia causes me to buy vintage breeches on etsy." Well here I am wearing said breeches. When I first put them on I felt ridiculously pear shaped, but after a bit of hanging out in my apartment, I began to gain the confidence of Katherine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story. I must say that I'm now addicted to these breeches, even with their silly shape, they just make me feel instantly transported to 1940 Philly. What do you think? Am I a total nut job or crazy cool? Ha, I like to think I'm a bit of both.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends

How was your weekend? Did you do anything crazy that I can live vicariously through?

Cole and I are doing lots of odds and ends around our place before we go out of town. Which translates to tons of cleaning and organizing. We want everything ready to go, so when we get back we're not rushing around last minute before Cole starts classes. Is it weird that I get back to school anxiety by proxy?
