good news + (kinda sorta) bad news

Good news/Bad news... 
Which to share first?
GOOD NEWS, obviously!
I am so (so so so so so so) excited that that it is February.  I really was not a fan of January, and the second month of 2012 offers much more promise in my eyes!  Now that I have my own wheels (more on that below)... I can get back in a OOTD routine.  But to be honest, living out of a suitcase for 2 weeks didn't leave much to capture.

Buying a new car was a tumultuous experience, and with lots of patience and kindness from my family (and my employers) I finally found one to bring home!
Loosing the Jeep was a hard thing, especially when it was so unexpected, but I am completely prepared to welcome the Pilot in to my life with open arms (and hopefully less gas money)

I guess the (kinda sorta) bad news is served with a sprinkle of good on top. 
 (What can I say? I'm a die hard optimist)
I am so (so so so so so so) poor after this month of a wreck/insurance/new car/down payments!
I expected it, of course, but boy does it sting when you check those balances!
I plan on diving in to DIY and recipes to improve and simplify my life in the time I have without shopping or going out to dinner/drinks/brunch/lunch/coffee (I have a problem) to distract me.  I'm going to tackle that bathroom organization that I have been so fervently 'pinning' about... Clean out my closet, maybe sell or donate some things that haven't left the closet in a year... I have high high hopes for Fun February (yep, I'm giving it a name!) and I can't wait for you to follow along with me!
XOXO,
