the time has come

i'm so tired of having a clothes crisis every single morning. i'll be shopping this weekend, thank you very much.

s t r e s s

i have so much to do this week i can't even fathom it. last night i made a task list for the next 4-5 days, and it's quite daunting. painting, cleaning, housesitting, exercising, grocery shopping, working, laundry.... i'm starting to become overwhelmed. and it's even more overwhelming to me that it's taken THIS long to get overwhelmed. i should have been more prepared.

i wish i had one of those remote controls like zack morris in saved by the bell. i'd love to pause the world around me and keep on working. or offer a genius commentary on life and the people around me without anyone noticing. that kid had it MADE.

i want it all. now.

just spending a lovely summer's evening painting, reading mags, online window shopping... found these on the new arrivals page at JCrew.com.

must. have. e v e r ything.

but here are my favs:

now all i need to do is win the lottery. that should be eeeeeasy.

not good at all

yesterday, sean's tv fell off of the wall in our bedroom. the little gadget that held the tv to the arm on the wall just snapped. it crushed a lamp, sent glass all over the room, and scratched the tv screen pretty badly. zoe is completely freaked out by the tv now, and won't go anywhere near it. judging from the chaos that i found on my nightstand- lamp, picture, remotes strewn everywhere- i'm guessing she was lounging on the bed when it happened. i checked her little feet for any glass but she's ok. i called sean last night to tell him and he was asleep in the on-call room. i'm sure that's exactly the wake up call he wanted...

eternally on hold

this is hardly how i saw myself spending this lovely, snow, sunday afternoon. i have been on hold with expedia for THIRTY FREAKIN' MINUTES.

sean and i recently had a semi-serious breakdown in communication- it was no one person's fault more than the other, but it caused some serious damage to our mexico plans. you see, i was under the impression that we had 2 weeks post-boards to work with in finding a suitable trip. so i found one. as it turns out, we only have one week to travel, and i managed to find a great deal during the week we couldn't travel. and i didn't communicate the travel dates well enough to sean. thank god we realized the mistake this early on. and bought the travel insurance. we get credit for the flight portion and refunded for the hotel portion. but in order to redeem my flight credit upon booking a new trip, i am forced to call expedia, not book online.

FOURTY MINUTES.

i think i found a great deal... even better than the one before. so now i will continue to hold in hopes that this will all work out beautifully and we will be in sunny mexico one week sooner than originally anticipated. i hope.
