Horses & Laptops

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. My computer decided to try to commit suicide. While I was at work on Thursday, Rand sent me a picture of it - it had actually melted. It looks like the fan failed and it overheated. The odd thing was that it was turned off at the time. It's a good thing I was suckered into purchasing an extended warranty on it. Now I just have to find time to take it in to get repaired. Until then, I have limited access to Rand's computer.

What I Wore While My Computer Melted:


  • maroon.white striped shortsleeve blouse (Target, thrifted new Goodwill)
  • marron satin pleated tank (Target)
  • black skirt (George/Walmart, thrifted new Goodwill)
  • black satin flats (via Kohls)
  • grey geomatric necklace (Rainbow)
What I Ate Until The Delivery Nightmare Occurred:


I'm not even going to get into everything that happened, but it involved accidently giving the delivery guy an extra $50, getting the wrong food delivered, getting too much money back from the delivery guy, getting delivery from another restaurant, and lots of stuff in between. As a result there is no picture of dinner.
  • breadkfast: cereal w/ Almond Breeze and blueberries
  • lunch: big salad and watermelon
  • snack: banana, Cliff bar, and a tangerine
  • dinner: quesadilla

What I Followed Around the Block:

Still inspired by Stacy and Sheila, I braved 100 degrees and no shade for a short walk before lunch. Since it's so hot, I only walked 1/2 mile. But I had the uh pleasure (?) of walking behind some horse cops for quite a bit of that. Just what you want to stare at, right?

Sorry to hear about your computer. :( That's so frustrating.

On the plus side, I love the pink-on-pink and the different textures you're wearing.

Diana said...

That sucks about your computer. I hope it gets fixed soon.

On the other hand, I love your necklace.

Beth said...

LOVE your necklace! At least the horses made your walk somewhat entertaining!

Sorry to hear about your computer :( Hope you can get it up and running again.

I don't think I'd like that view during lunch LOL! Especially worried if they left something behind...

That is awful! Good for you for having the foresight to purchase an extended warranty. I hope that you get a replacement soon.

On the upside, you look(ed) adorable. I love the textural variation of your top & blouse right next to each other. That color is so pretty against your skin.

Brooke - thanks! Rand isn't too happy about the computer either b/c I keep trying to steal his.

Diana - thanks! It's one of those pieces that I picked up b/c I loved it, but I've found it difficult to wear. I'm not sure why. Maybe b/c I don't want to wear the matching earrings it came with but I don't really have any other coordinating jewelry?

eednic - thanks!

Beth - thanks! Yes, the horses at least gave me something to look at. Although I don't think the cops liked that I took a pic of them.

Sher - Thankfully, they didn't leave any deposits for me to navigate around.

Kari - thanks! Since the outfit it pretty conservative, I think you are right that the texture really helps.
