I was worried my leftover August outfits wouldn’t feel relevant to post now, but I’m currently staring out at the ocean on a sunny, 90-degree day, so this looks like too much clothing, if anything. My stripe/gingham top probably won’t get worn again until next spring, but the pink suede flats will definitely reappear a few times until we get to the point where even the tiniest amount of exposed skin will result in my entire foot going numb from the cold.

Well, this really took a turn, didn’t it? I mean that really escalated quickly. Let’s go back to the part where I’m doing yoga on the beach and not think about winter quite yet. 🙂

Somehow, I’ve been married for 6 years. It’s a miracle anyone agreed to marry a smartass party pooper like myself, much less remain married to a smartass party pooper for 2,192 days and counting. It must be my eyes.

We celebrated our anniversary with a quick weekend roadtrip to Bloomington, where we met. (IU class of 2007!) Saturday was spent sipping vino at Oliver Winery, followed by dinner at Finch’s, then a play, then cocktails at Cardinal Spirits (if you follow the blog What I Wore, her husband is one of the founders of the distillery).

The play was a stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion. I haven’t read the book, but now I want to. Maybe I’ll add it to my to-do list for when I retire. My favorite line from the play (and the book) that seemed perfectly fitting for the occasion was: “I must learn to brook being happier than I deserve.” After this many years, I’m finally starting to get the hang of it.
