Janelle, I totally feel you there. Some days it's just not gonna happen. Although I do find that when I've been sick, getting up and getting dressed helps me get back into the swing of things. If course it totally depends what crappy health thing you're dealing with. I say do what you can to make yourself feel better and the rest is the work of the drugs. Lol!!

I think I might hate you. At least a little.

I have rotten health. Truly, rotten. And have spent more than my fair share of time in the hospital / on icky meds / bloated from a variety of dumb chronic issues / etc. (Sorry, had to whine) but I don't put on a chiffony top with a blazer and sexy skirt with heels. Nope. I have been really proud of myself lately for making a greater effort to at least put on real jeans (not mom ones, of course!), a decent shirt, and my new goal -- to add some jewelry. Hair brushing is an added bonus when I'm feeling fancy.
I'm working on putting more effort into my appearance (since it does give a good emotional boost to feel "put together" in at least one way) but some days (more than I'd care to claim) I choose to put effort into swallowing all my pills and perhaps even feeding my husband and children.
STUPID body!!!!!!!
/end rant.
(I gotta get me a blazer or 5 to pull that trick off!)

lol Jenna... my parents had it cleaned first, which was really good because it was gunked up. Now it's all shiny and gorgeous. I know my grandparents would have wanted me to enjoy it, not put it in a box somewhere!

I have one of those lockets, that my grandpa sent to my granny during the war. You've inspired me to wear it more often. Once I can get this baby to stop putting every necklace I own in his mouth.
