1. I can’t believe summer’s nearly over… and I’ve only been to the beach twice.
Actually, I can’t believe we’re more than half of the way through 2015. Where has time gone? More importantly: what have I done with it? I had grand plans and high expectations, but it feels as if I just trudged my way through the months (especially through this year’s polar vortex)—and let myself fall into the monotony of complacency. There were so many places I wanted to go to, events to attend, things to do, books to read, skills to learn. What have I actually accomplished? Am I a better version of myself than I was in 2014?
I hesitate to answer.
But the lull ends now. This past week has been a whirlwind of new things and opportunities, which was exactly what I’ve been craving. Bring it on.
2. I want to get rid of everything in my closet except my bodysuits, pencil skirts, and high-waisted jeans. I want easy, I want simple, I want streamlined, I want sexy; it’s the vibe I’m trying to go for (if you look good, you feel good—right?) I’m feeling a wardrobe re-haul comin’ up soon, I’m just not sure where to begin…
I’ll keep you posted if anything interesting comes out of it.
3. You know you’re a real adult when finding the perfect set of Tupperware gets you excited. It’s the little things.
4. I had my first solo business trip earlier this week. I’ll be honest: I was apprehensive for a few reasons, two of which were traveling (safely) alone and making a connecting flight with less than 40 minutes to spare. Traveling was always done under the safety of my parents’ wings, with a group of (reliable) friends, or with a significant other; I have no qualms in admitting that I was—and still am—pretty sheltered and definitely lucky to have such protective people in my life.
I’m happy to report everything was smooth sailing, and that I loved the solitude and baby adventure as much as I thought I would. More traveling, please.
5. My dad finally upgraded to the iPhone 6 and my mother has grasped the concept of emojis. Texting the ‘rentals have been real’ exciting lately.
