    Your title conjured up a lovely image of horses freely sprinting in the wind … nice little break my brain didnt know it needed. Thanks for that! See you Friday & good luck!

    We’ve all been there. We understand. I hope you’re finding time to take a deep breath and kick back.

    The often seen in movies scene of a carriage out of control came to mind. I’m sure by Monday you will get the wagon back on track, Sherif Janice! Holy handbags, it was fun to think about something other than this heat wave…
    Cheers all!

      That’s what I felt like – I used to handle that sort of thing well, but lately I find that I’m easily overwhelmed!
      hugs,
      Janice

    Be well! I loved the look back today—that was posted before I started reading this blog. It was so simple that I had an easier time deciding which combos I liked and which I would never wear together. Since those are my neutrals, it’s a very helpful exercise! It included lovely pieces that still strike my eye as stylish (except the print shirt, which I discovered I would never wear!).

    Stay in and pamper yourself. Weather in Chicago is awful. Lounge by a window and watch the world go by.

    I can relate. Sometimes we just need to stop. Look who’s talking with a flue + fever combo in late August and 100+ temps!

    I’m sure it’s as frustrating as can be, but I must admit I started chuckling a bit as I thought “Been there, done that!” May things get back on track soon.
