The 15 Minute Blog

I have been trying to give myself deadlines. I suck at time management lately....so I have 15 minutes to write this blog b/c I have to get in the shower and get ready for work, while trying to gulp down my coffee. PS I've been making my own coffee in my french press! go me! How do you take/make your coffee? Mine must have lots of sugar!

I am trying really hard to get all my school stuff done! I am down to the wire here, and I can't focus b/c of the stress of not getting things done. But I am trying new tactics :) and the little mantra of I can do it I can do it I can do it! How do you destress yourself?

I saw this on a tumbler and it totally made my day! I need to email it to myself so it can make me smile!
I also saw this on a tumbler, and I was like I totally have that dress! I think I am going to wear it today! lol so I need to dig it out of Narnia (which was Calley calls my closet). I got it at Target, it was part of one of their designer series. I wish the Zac Posen stuff at target would go on sale, but by that time it will probably be gone...PS I heart Target...Which line has been your fav designer series at Target? Mine was the Erin Fetherston line or the Jovovich Hawk line...lol I can't even pick one.

I want to go on a trip to anywhere lol. I'm off next weekend, but Clint is not. Maybe I will visit San Angelo? Maybe I will hole up in my room and do homework? Or paint my living room walls or finish the flower beds? or maybe runaway to Santa Fe lol or Carlsbad Caverns...we talk of going there a lot. :) Where would you run away to?

LOL my sentiments exactly! I heart MK! I struggle with this issue a lot since I work in retail and as a manager have to wear things from my store. I usually pair things from the store with some of my vintage stuff. My DM doesn't seem to mind.

I went through this phase where I felt like a hypocrite b/c I wanted to be all handmade/vintage, support only the handmade community and all that jazz and I'm working for a big chain retail store. But putting it into perspective, I have to have a job to pay bills and even though I have a degree I am having a hard time finding one. So I put a plan into motion to get me out of retail :)! I can't wait for the day when I never have to go to the mall again! lol I will enjoy going to thrift stores and shopping on etsy all the time! Not that I don't do that already.

Any thoughts?

My 15 minutes is up! Have a good day!

Etsy Loves

I am taking a break from homework and studying...I am enjoying a cup of Lady Grey tea. This evening we took the puppies on a walk around the neighborhood. They did so good. I had to pick Duo up a couple times and carry him lol. When we were walking up to the door the UPS guy caught us with some packages....they were wedding gifts! I was sooo excited. Tomorrow we have some weeding to do in the front flower beds (we have the ugliest flower beds on the block!), some wedding errands, and then we are headed out to the ranch to hang out with Clint's parents and talk about wedding stuffs some more.

Today I was looking for some suspenders for Clint to wear to the wedding on etsy, and of course came across a few other awesome things....


You can put any name on the heart. It seems like an awesome Mother's Day gift...

I was looking for something for my mom to wear to the wedding...this store is soooo awesome!

This purple/lilac dress is very similar to the 1950's wedding gown I found and had altered for my wedding. It's called a cupcake dress, a CUPCAKE dress...PS I almost died! I kinda want this on now too...Don't know where I would wear it, but yeahhhhh...
Any new etsy store you are just loving right now? Leave me a link, I'd love to check it out! Back to studying....
