Musings & Monday

Good morning! I am not quite myself yet, as I have not had any caffeinated beverages this AM and Sweet Large Sized Puppy Dog decided it would be nice to awaken SP at 4:30 AM with hacking sounds that continued until 'round about 5:45 AM. To be followed by sleeping directly on top of her legs. It's been a rough morning y'all.... Stay with me here...


1. I got a whole lotta nothin' done this weekend. Seriously, where did the time go? Actually, that's a lie: Saturday involved somehow managing to get my poor little two flat tired car repaired. It was an ordeal. How I managed to get not one, but TWO flat tires, remains a mystery.
2. I bought every adapter/converter/transformer nonsense they sold at BestBuy. Please Lord let me have bought the correct devices. Because I will just die if I get to London without a camera, curling iron, phone or computer access--just die! Can you even imagine?? ...And, $80 later, the husband isn't so sure this was my wisest decision. I can always return them, hello.
3. I did not complete my 6 mile run ::hangs head in shame:: I was too exhausted and stressed to drag myself into my running shoes... Let's hope I can run my little heart out on my lunchtime date with le treadmill.
4. I'm still freakin out a wee bit about this weekends overseas adventure, but, just think, in one week, I'll actually be there. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this..... I think.
5. Last week, l'italiano was cancelled, the week before that, I didn't go. I will be gone next week. I am just a star student. I did make flashcards though. Maybe I'll meet an l'italiano speaker on the flight or something.
6. I am exhausted. I need a Diet Coke. And now, please, thanks.
7. I started a little blog for my jewelry, please check it out: Shabby Gem Designs. I will eventually have an Etsy store, but, for now, this is the best I could do on Sunday night.
8. I made some really fun pink-ish jewelry this weekend, so, look for that to be up in the next day or so.
9. There was another student with a Masterati here on Friday. For the love of Pete!
10. Guess who went hog wild at Target buying up every combination of fall scented plug ins, candles and reed difusers? Yep, that's right. Me. I love those dang Fabreeze plug ins and their candles, when I saw that they had "Autumn Harvest" and "Pumpkin Spice" you bet I bought them all. Plus, it'll make the house smell nice for Thanksgiving and I can be all "Ohhh, the house always smells lovely because I am always baking... Isn't it divine?"... And they will all be fooled... Fantastic!
11. But seriously, I need some caffeine.


OK my lovelies, my apologies that this post was not in true SP form. I am just not myself yet. I must now hurry off and find myself a cold and caffeinated beverage, hopefully, of the Diet persuasion. Have a fabulous day!
xoxo

Very cool!! Love the jewelry blog. i definitely hope to scrape together a few bucks and order something.
Hope you had a great Monday. Don't worry about the 6-mile. You'll do it, as soon as you're ready.
Hope one of those adaptors works!!

I go crazy for fall and pumpkin spice smells too. I went nuts buying candles at Pier 1 already. :) Awesome jewelry blog, I love it! And 2 flat tires? You poor girl!

Be carefeul with the adaptors... they might burn up your curling iron... Most of the time they are fine for computers / phone, but just be careful... Also, the hotel generally has a hair dryer, so I would use that one vs. risking ruining yours. Have a great trip!

I can't wait to check out the jewelry blog.

You are going to have such a wonderful time in London. I so wish I was going too! Do you have room in your suitcase--or are all the beauty products and converters taking up my spot?

I haven't bought any plug-ins, but I'm guilty of buying all the flavored coffee creamers in pumpkin, caramel, nut, etc! Ugh, the fat and hydrogenated oils! Yuck.

I'm not going to think about it. I'm going to fix another cup of coffee! Ha!

Pumpkin spice is so yumo!
