What’s Black, Blue & Red All Over?

The answer to the above riddle is ME. I have the worst habit of looking down at my arms and legs and finding the biggest, fattest bruises or I realize that I have a cut and am bleeding. The worst part is that I usually have no idea where said bruise or cut came from. I am crazy klutzy and run into things all the time (like “Who the heck put that wall there??! Rude!). Also, now that I have two rambunctious boys, they have a tendency to run full speed into me and cause my bodily injuries. I should start making up crazy stories for my bruises to make myself more interesting, like “I saw an old lady getting mobbed and jumped in to help get her purse back and successfully scared away her attacker.” Totally believable, right? Ha! Didn’t think so either.

I am a fairly good singer. I have great pitch, good rhythm and can carry a tune. But I can not for the life of me sing “happy birthday”. What the heck is wrong with that song? No one ever starts it at the correct key and it’s either sung way to high for me or way to low. I live in fear that someone will make me lead it for a birthday celebration, only to have the situation end with jaws open and wide eyes staring at my awkwardness. Also a good reason for me to never work as a waitress in a cheesy restaurant where birthday singing is a job requirement.

Lucky Magazine

I’ve had a subscription to Lucky magazine since it started in 2000. I mean their tag line is “A magazine about shopping and style”, so how could I pass that up?!

I love to rip pictures out of outfits in the magazine that appeal to me and I have them in a folder to look through for inspiration whenever I am looking for something new.

I recently heard about the “Lucky Community” and signed up as a contributor.

I am still trying to figure it out (oh why couldn’t I have been blessed with a more technologically savvy brain?!), but so far, I love being able to look through other fashion bloggers style photos (although it makes me feel highly unworthy).

If you’re looking for some inspiration or just have time to kill, hop on over to the Lucky Community website. You can find me by searching for “Rena Frey”.

There’s even a contest going on right now that I’m thinking of joining. I’ll post more once I figure things out a bit.
