Come Fly With Me

In 12 hours I will be on a flight bound for sunny Mexico (providing it doesn't rain. Mike "Sungaard" Headrick has determined that rain will most certainly be a part of our trip and is quite concerned. I on the other hand, couldn't be less concerned. As far as I know, they serve margaritas rain or shine). 

I am beyond jazzed for this vacation.  Work has been extrordinarily stressful lately (perhaps because I've been preparing for a week off? Who's to say?), so I am in need of an all-you-can-eat-and-drink week of fun in the sun - leave my mind behind, you might say.  Mike, in optimistic anticipation, has taken to naming our traveling team (comprised of my sister, her husband and two of us) Team Sandtoxication.  Here's hoping we live up to our name.  Hope all of you, my internet friends, have a fantastic week.  I would like to say I'll miss you this week, but no one likes a liar.

Cheers,

The exotic lady

That's right, I'm on day 4 of my new perfume and it is STILL making me feel like a brand new woman. I call life changing, suck it, Mike. (Jum, I don't know how my hair smells, but I did wash it today, just for you).

Happy Friday friends.

Daily Thought

I love buying a new perfume. It makes me feel like I am a whole new, slightly more interesting and exotic lady the first day I wear it. Yes, this is a tall order for a fragrance, but the purveyors of et de toilettes always seem to come through.  Of course tomorrow I'll be all used to my new sent and go back to feeling like my normal, rudimentary, somewhat mundane self, but today I will revel in my amped up alter-ego. Hope you found a simple joy today as well.

cheers,

Things that produce joy

1. The Avett Brothers live. Joy is maybe not strong enough. Euphoria? Nirvana? Bliss? Despite the necessity of viewing the show from the base of a stairwell due to my height ineptitude, it was one of the most incredible evenings of my life. Fabtastic.

2. Autumn is upon us. My favorite season for a variety of reasons including, pumpkin patches with great friends, hot apple cider and the best weather of the year.

3. New TV! New Girl! Good Wife! Parks and Recreation! Revenge! The Office! Dancing...WITH THE STARS! Man, I love tv. Should I pretend I'm more interesting and that I only read books? Nah... I'm currently watching my first episode of the Playboy Club, I'm somewhat interested 5 minutes in. Colbie Calliat is singing in her best Doris Day wig. She fits in well in the 60s.

4. Photography. My gal pal Jan lent me one of her fancy lenses for my camera. I'm enjoying tinkering and  learning new things.

5. In T-13 days, Mike, Cour, Drew and I will be in sunny Mexico! Arriba!

6. These words I learned from my new obsession, pinterest: "Whenever I get sad I stop being sad and start being awesome." Barney Stinson would approve.
