It's time for tights...

I'm ready! It's time! I hate winter and all but I miss my goofy green tights and my purple wool hat. I LOVEEEEEE fall fashion and yet, the 90 degree temps prevail!!!!

Kate Spade, Southern Proper, Old Navy...They are calling to me. They want desperately to redeem themselves from the "in between seasons" headache they caused me at the beginning of the month. It's time to go shopping :-)

So c'mon cool breezes, help me out. I want to enjoy my Pumpkin Spice Latte in a new pair of suede boots. I just can't do it when it's above 70 outside!

Love and Peace to you all!!!

2010 BG vs Warren East Highlights

Two post in one day...I know, Holy Cow. However, I just changed my background in honor of the BG vs. Trinity game that is coming this Friday and it reminded me that I never wrote about the INSANITY that was the Warren East game. I will let the video do most of the "talking" for me but I want you all to know that it was MONSOONING!!!!!!!

Sunday is NOT Funday :-(

My routine during the week consists of getting up at 5:30am everyday and heading to work at and Elementary School about 20 minutes from my apartment. At 8am on Tuesdays & Thursdays, I head home to dress up and drive over to Job #2 of the day; a fabulous children's boutique called Little LuLu's (the place is AMAZING!-I'll share more next blog!) and then at 2pm, every day, I head over to another Elementary School just outside of town for job #3 of the day. I get off at 6pm and I'm home by 6:30. On M, W, F when I'm not at the Boutiques, I get in my office hours for my school job...So while I'm not teaching in my own classroom this year, I am EVEN more busy than I have ever been.

Now in the evenings on Monday nights and Thursday nights, Ben has JV & Freshman games. This means he doesn't get home until 8pm. I try to attend as many as I can, but really people, you can only expect so much from me! Then of course on Friday nights are varsity game nights and I have been attending ALL home games and as many away games as I possibly can. Saturday mornings at 9, Ben goes to football and I try to work at Little LuLu's as many Saturdays as I possibly can. And when I'm not working Ben and I try to make it to WKU home games, UK games and even a couple of UofL games if I can BEG him for long enough.

Please do not misunderstand-I am not complaining about my life- I LOVE working and I LOVE Ben and it's Football season so what is written above is simply the nature of the beast. I am extremely glad I don't have children right now, Jeremiah-the cat- is all I can handle. Here's where I AM complaining: SUNDAY- a day of rest- a time for family- good food- relaxing....As the Judd's would say "WHY NOT ME???"

By Sunday morning my home looks as if and F5 has come through obliterating everything in it's path!!! When I want to be watching Sunday Morning and Meet the Press I am forced to skim my Martha Stewart Weekly & Monthly Cleaning Lists in an attempt to put my inside-out, Alice in Wonderland, Tornado Stricken apartment back in order. I'm pretty sure my exposure to cleaning product fumes is exactly why I work so slowly on Monday morning. My excessive inhalation of Lysol HAS to be toxic! How does one woman and one cat make such a mess is 7 days??

1. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM??

2. WHAT THE H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS AM I GOING TO DO WHEN I HAVE A HOUSE TO CLEAN?

3. AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I HAVE CHILDREN???

HOW DO PEOPLE DO IT?????

HOW DID MY MOTHER SURVIVE??

Perhaps I should just let it all go. Maybe I should simply allow myself to start living like those people on "Hoarders: Buried Alive" I'm pretty sure if I just gave in, after about 2 weeks I would be eligible for the show. Jeremiah would probably run away and Ben would want to kill me but at least I could go back to Hazelnut coffee and Charles Osgood....

Just to prove that I am, for once, not over exaggerating I have included below a picture of my bedroom floor.

However, to keep you all from judging me forever, I have also included a picture of my spotless kitchen- perhaps this will save me from ridicule :-)






LOVE AND PEACE TO YOU ALL!!

Forget it, I'm going NAKED!

WHEN DID IT BECOME IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET DRESSED FOR FOOTBALL GAMES?!?!?!

When I was in college I think I had 25 different outfits to wear on game day! 25!!! And now, between the hunt for purple (BGHS) attire, and this weeks charade to find something for the UK/WKU game, I HAVE HAD IT!!!!

Target, TJ Maxx, Old Navy- YOU ARE LETTING ME DOWN.

It is due to rain for almost all of Saturday's Lexington activities, so keeping that and the fact that I HATE wet pant legs in mind, I am at a loss. I bought the most beautiful DKNY sweater today and yet I am forced to return it because I just can't get an outfit together.

So here I sit at 12.44 am on 9/11, after making 16 chicken salad sandwiches and 20 chocolate covered pretzels, and still NO idea what I will be wearing in 8 short hours.

Hopefully the rain will keep people from judging my last minute outfit...whatever outfit it may be.

Love and Peace to you all on this rainy Kentucky...morning :-)

Here it is:

"Many of the greatest achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged (wo)men who kept on working"

I am feeling discouraged tonight. I am feeling tonight as if "life" is winning.

"All in God's time" is what I keep telling myself and yet I feel lost.

What exactly is my purpose? Am I really making a difference in anyone's life? Really?

But, I'll keep working. I'll keep trying and eventually things will even out. God is so good.

Love and Peace to you all on this almost Autumn night.
