Nothing exciting going on today. I cleaned my house and folded up tons of laundry. The husband and I went out for a photo shoot just before sunset. We rode out to some land my father tends called Rattlesnake Ranch. I have no idea why it is called this. In all my years going out there to help farm, I have never seen a rattlesnake. LOL! The structure in the pictures is what's left of tobacco barns in which my dad cured tobacco. He got out of the tobacco business a few years ago and sold the curing barns that used to be here. The building that's left is the stick barn. It's full of tobacco sticks. Apparently before my time, they put the tobacco on sticks to cure it. So, the sticks in this barn are some pretty old sticks!

I'm all Anthro-ed out today. Everything I'm wearing is from Anthropologie except, well, my undergarments. Now that I think about it, I've never bought any undergarments from Anthro before. Honestly, they don't look very supportive. I need serious undergarments. LOL! I'm wearing the Wightwick Manor Dress with the Curlytop Cardigan. It was very cold this morning, but it didn't feel as cold this afternoon as it did yesterday. I was pretty comfortable with just the sweater. I'm wearing my tights that match my hair again. LOL! I was going to wear my Frye boots, but I decided tights and booties looked much better with this outfit. I just realized that I forgot to wear any jewelry today. Oops!

The song of the day is "Green Eyes" by Coldplay. As we were taking these pictures, my husband was commenting on how green my eyes look with my new hair color. He was like, "how does that song go? Green Eyes..." I played it for him tonight to refresh his memory. I forgot how much I love that album by Coldplay. I know alot of people don't like them because they are so popular and mainstream now. I must admit, I don't really like much of their new stuff, but "A Rush of Blood to the Head" is a great album. There are not many songs about girls with green eyes, so I really like that this song is for my demographic. LOL!

Well, back to the grind tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great week! Good night!
