I've been living in my blanket scarf

I have been wearing this blanket scarf so often this winter.  I really is like carrying around a cozy blanket all day.  I love how soft and warm they are.

These pictures were actually taken before all of the snow melted over the weekend.  I've been hoping that we won't get too much more.  I am very really for spring to start!  I also finally caught my daughter's cold...yuck!  I've been sneezing up a storm.  So there will be lots of tea and soup in my near future.

My migraines have seemed to go away for the past couple days, so hopefully last weekend was just a fluke.  It was so nice to go those couple weeks without one.  It's been so long since I was that "clear" for that long of a period.  

Now if I can just get my lazy butt off the couch to keep exercising!  I have been slacking big time!

Do you love the blanket scarf trend too?  What's your favorite cold remedy?

My first attempt at pattern mixing

 Over the weekend we were supposed to go ice skating, but the stupid place didn't list that they had games scheduled at the time we were trying to go.  So we went all the way out there for no reason....boo!  I was really excited about it because I've never ever been ice skating before and I wanted to give it a try.  Maybe it's a blessing in disguise because I would have fallen and hit my head and started my headaches over again...or something?  That's the way I'll look at it.

I've never been very good at pattern mixing, so I figured I would try a look that I've seen all over blogland and Pinterest: stripes and plaid.  I actually really love the way it looks.  I expected my OCD to have made me change the second I saw it on me, but I was pleasantly surprised.

That striped top is actually one that I picked up at the thrift store over the weekend for only $2!  You can't beat that!  I was able to get 7 shirts for only $22!  I need to go thrifting more often!

Do you enjoy thrift shopping?  Ever find any great deals?
