Just Call Me, “Rambles”

i woke up this morning and felt the need to ramble about things. most that are of not much significance, but just as ramble-worthy. so, you are in for a treat today. 
first, and of actual importance, if you are a regular High Five for Friday participant, you can now link up with these ladies: Tif at Bright on a Budget, Caitlin at Coffee with Caitlin, Katie at Cup of Tea, and Della of Della Devoted. they’re in their second week of hosting they link up and doing a wonderful job! i couldn’t be more pleased with my new hosts…so, head on over and link up! 
second, i joined a gym yesterday. when we moved back in august, one of the things that i was pretty excited about was the fax that there is a great gym within walking distance of our place. i belonged to the YMCA in North Carolina and loved having a place to go to workout, and a place to stay motivated! my old building had a tiny little workout room in the basement, so i didn’t feel like spending the extra money on a gym membership, but i definitely missed belonging to one. i finally bit the bullet yesterday and walked my out-of-shape body over to the gym and joined! i’ll be honest, some days it will be a real struggle to talk myself into braving the freezing temps, but i’m hopeful that it will totally be worth it. anyway, all that ramble to say, i found this top while shopping in Park City and can’t get enough.
truth be told, i was coming up with a list of excuses to not join the gym yesterday and then i saw this in my closet and thought, ‘wait! i can wear my new top! alright, i’m going’. hey, whatever works, right? i’ve never heard of this brand before, but it seems pretty comparable to the Athleta and Lululemon types, both in price point and quality. 
third, i’m dubbing next week chambray week. i thought it would be fun to pick a ‘theme’ for the week and share some outfits and inspiration surrounding that choice, so next week is a trial run to see how we all like it. 
fourth, it’s expected to get up to 43 degrees tomorrow, so you can find me at the beach. but really, it’s sad when all the weather and newscasters talk about is how it’s going to break the 40’s over the weekend…slow news week? 
and for my last ramble, the cats are alive and well! i’ve had a few concerned cat lovers comment on instagram asking if they’re okay because it’s been awhile since they’ve made an appearance. they’re doing great, just hibernating 😉 
alright, i think you’ve suffered enough. go link up for H54F and have a great weekend! see on monday, wearing chambray.
