It's September ?!?!?! Say W-H-A-T ?!?!?!
I'm linking up with Farley from Oh Boy, 4th Grade for the September Currently. *NOTE: This {might} be the CUTEST Currently template ever! I, like Farley, have a {slight} obsession with mini-campers, and they go perfectly with my classroom theme (retro-road trip), so I'm extra excited this month! |
LISTENING:LOVING:THINKING:WANTING:NEEDING:3 TRIPS: |
SO.........I hate to admit it, but the Real Housewives series (OC, NYC, BH) is a guilty pleasure of mine. I DO NOT know why I enjoy it. it's SO HORRIBLE! I HATE women treating each other badly and fighting....but I love some of the characters and it's like a train wreck that you just can't look away from.
I had a super fun AND productive weekend. We had a great cookout with my husband's family and took a fun trip to IKEA before we headed home from their house today. On to the productivity.....My closet was an absolute disaster and had vomited out into my bedroom EVERYWHERE (you know you're back in school when....). I finished a major closet/clothes clean-out, caught up on laundry, and reorganized everything. Meals are prepped for the week, and house is fairly tidy. Of course, there's still about a MILLION items on my to-do list....which leads me to the next category.....
Even though I had a great, productive weekend...the to-do list I have is NEVER-ENDING! I sort of wish I had an extra day to lock myself up in the house to plan, blog, and do some creative design work. Oh well, family time is much more important, and there's always tomorrow (if I can actually stay away after a full day of school-HA!).
I was in charge of bringing pies to our Labor Day cookout, and so I hit up my FAVE little bakery near my school. They have the cutest shop and BEST baked goods on the Chicago North Shore (and I'd bet the entire Midwest). I was so stuffed after the BBQ last night that I didn't get a piece of the pie. Luckily, we brought nearly 1/2 of the blueberry pie (my fave, and we had apple, too) home and a pint of Haagen Dazs vanilla bean ice cream calling my name. Heat up the pie, scoop out some premium ice cream, and slurp down the goodness!
After Y-E-A-R-S of wanting, obsessing, listing pros and cons, and general hemming and hawing....I finally broke down and bought not only the Erin Condren TEACHER planner, but also the LIFE planner!
I'm CONSTANTLY CHECKING the site, with fingers crossed and saying a little prayer that they finish my planners early (NOT going to happen) and ship before the estimated date (9/5). Barring a small miracle, my planners are shipping on Friday!! WOO HOO! I'll be sure to blog about them when they arrive. SUPER PSYCHED.
LONDON: Double-decker buses, the Queen & Prince George, Big Ben, tea time, fish & chips, and home of the Beatles....need I say more? I want to go. I NEED to go. I WILL GO!
FIJI: Google it, check out the images of the huts on stilts over the water, and you'll put it on your list, too. KIAWAH ISLAND: I LOVE Charleston, SC. Everything about it makes me smile. The history, charm, Southern manners and style, delish food, and gorgeous beach front. While in college, I babysat for a family that visited Kiawah Island (just off the coast of Charleston) annually and it sounded like Heaven. I want to take a family trip there to soak up all of the fabulous-ness it has to offer! |
