tuesday bluesday...WAH!

I'm not so sure I'm ready to be back at work this Tuesday morning!
I'm still pretty exhausted from painting the trim on my house...
yes...the entire house! I still need to do a second coat on the trim
on the sides of the house, but that can wait until this coming
weekend. To give you an idea of what it looks like:

I painted the trim "Retro Avocado."
Before, it was a very dull and I suspect quite old
blueish teal. But not actually teal. Bland.
I think this new color goes much better with the
style of the house and also the new roof
(the old roof was gray).

I was too exhausted to fix this mess of an outfit too!
I do prefer it without the jacket though:
If I pull the skirt up higher, it gives me a much slimmer
silhouette. So officially I am pulling my skirt up throughout
the day! HA! I have lost 8 pounds btw. I would like to
lose about 5 more or so. But I'm adjusting really well
to eating healthier and still working out, per usual.
Outfit details:
skirt: express
burgundy tank: express
gold tank: express
jacket: windsor

this is the face of a very tired home improvement pseudo-guru:
I am pleased as punch, however,
at how the color turned out.
YAY!
Maybe not my outfit so much today, but my hizzle
is prizizzle!

Great job on the house!! See it doesn't take a man, it takes a woman with motivation ;) Though the man's help would have been easier....
