Time for a little retail therapy...

So, there's nothing really wrong, other than the fact that I'm bored...so I've designated today to be clean the house/retail therapy day.

Sean does get back this evening, woo-hoo! However, he'll probably be leaving on Sunday so our time together will be limited, but until he gets home I'm taking the time to get a few new items. I already did my Forever21 order last week and I cannot wait to get it. There were a few items on my list that they were out of (only reason why I sometimes hate Forever21) but I substituted a few cute things to make myself feel better.

Today's shopping will consist of American Eagle for some jeans and Old Navy for my summer supply of flip-flops. I really need a new swimsuit too, but I'm a little hesitant to order one online, if I find a to-die for suit though I might have to snap it up. Honestly I need some new shoes too...although I'm sure Sean would tell you otherwise.

Here's a few items I picked up in my Forever21 order.



Basic button-up plaid shirt.



For a date-night. I actually wanted it in red, but they were out. However, with a rockin' tan I think it would look good with my hair and complexion.



A dressier top



Casual summer dress. I love the colors in it!



Peacock bag. It was unusual and eyecatching. Perfect for a bag!

I'm getting ready to get my hair cute and colored again. Since summer is coming up I'm thinking about doing my hair lighter.



I like this, minus the bangs. I'd go for side-swept bangs, but I DO NOT want my bangs to look like hers in this picture.

One more day to get your questions in. Go two posts below to ask me anything!

Edited to add:

Photoshopped or not this makes me NOT want to appear in a swimsuit this season (or ever for that matter)

Swollen

My hand is swollen today. Yes, that is as in singular hand. Just my left hand. I noticed it after I finished working out today. It was so swollen that it actually hurt and I could not wear my wedding ring.

I mean, my hands have swollen before, but never just one and never that bad. I think I am dehydrated, so I've chugged a liter of water so far and I'm hoping to put my ring on soon.

I just realized I haven't really gave you guys an update on how work has been since I've started. To sum it up, I'll just say I really like my job. There's something new everyday AND on April 30th Toby Keith is coming to post to do a concert and he's also supposed to stop by the USO. Should make for an entertaining day.

In other news, Sean is leaving next week to go get an MRI done in Germany, if I didn't have to work I could go with him and meet some of you ladies up there, but alas I do have to work so meeting you guys will have to wait a bit longer. After his MRI he will be joining the rest of the battalion for training, so in total he'll be gone about 3 to 4 weeks. This is the longest we'll have been apart since we moved to Fort Polk last January. Thank goodness I have a job and Boomer to keep me company. Otherwise I can see myself quickly becoming bored.

I'm getting ready to do a massive Forever 21 order and possibly an order from American Eagle too. I need jeans, pronto. I happened to remember also that we have an H&M in town as well and since I've never had the pleasure of shopping at H&M I can honestly say I'm very excited.

So what do you guys have planned for this weekend? Sean has a four day, but since I'm helping with the post Easter egg hunt on Saturday we aren't going anywhere. Instead we will be doing boring adult things like buying shelving and finishing up our apartment. Living with boxes still in rooms is growing increasingly annoying for both Sean and I. Plus...we both want to get stuff in order before he leaves for a month.

However, next week there is a trip to Florence leaving from post and I'm really hoping this time they have enough people so I can actually see the city this time!
