I needed a time out.
Yesterday, I took a PTO day and didn’t check e-mail. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but I have a Blackberry and a habit of responding to things at all hours. But yesterday, I said, no to e-mail and yes to:
- New tags for my car. I am officially a Missourian now. Unfortunately, just an hour after I had my new tags, I ran home to use the restroom and let Gertie out before running some fun errands (read: shopping). I was maybe home for five minutes. I walked outside and at that moment, I was getting a ticket. I hadn’t put my new plates on because I didn’t have a wrench. Fantastic.
- Local Shopping. I love days where I can just wander around with no agenda. Browsing for vintage jewelry for my wedding dress, funky shoes to wear under my wedding dress, candles for my jacuzzi bathtub, a couple of bottles of wine for Fire & Wine night and…
- Ingredients to make Chicken & Dumplings.
- A good run with Gertie.
- Covering my entire kitchen in flour. Somehow whenever I use flour in a recipe, I seem to spread it everywhere. As we were slurping down our dinner, the fiance looked down and noticed that Gertie had bits of flour on her ears and back.
I would say it was time well spent.
By the way, check out my post about working at the Perfect Wedding Guide show with my artsy & quirky photographer Blue Rue Photography. I may or may not have lied to get a few pieces of wedding cake.
Shameless. Someone needs to go in time out…

Doesn’t it feel good to get stuff that’s been on your to-do list forever crossed off?
Yes, and having your book in my purse to distract me from long lines and crazy DMV people made the day that much better – just finished the Fantasy Football chapter…too funny and relatable.
