Aside from getting that tat on a whim, life is feeling a little [a lot] exhausting right now. I don’t really know why other than the fact that literally, every day feels like I’m living a giant to-do list that literally never gets done. I feel like everybody reading most likely just took a deep breath, sighed and said, “yeah me too”. Being overwhelmed is the most paralyzing feeling to me [I take that back, anxiety wins that competition] but truly, when I get overwhelmed I get not just stuck, but I get cranky, exhausted, full of doubt, ignore 99.9% of people calling, texting, emailing and try to find some magical solution to just run away from it all. The bad news is that the only way I have actually found to run away from it all is to actually run right towards it and accomplish the dumb thing. I’m just saying that it would be really cool if life had an “escape to the Caribbean” pass every time life felt a little outta control. Somebody, quick, work on that.
This weekend we have a black-tie fundraiser event which means one thing, fancy. Well, fancy and cocktails. The good news is that I forgot all about it until earlier this week when it dawned on me that I still didn’t have a dress for the thing so low and behold, I logged into my Rent The Runway account and 4 of the 5 dresses I had saved for this event were not available anymore! Repeat after me “do not procrastinate like Erin”, but this lovely thing was just chillin’ in my cart saying “wear me! I promise I’ll try to look nice for you!” so I took it up on its word and am giving it a go. It should arrive in approximately 8 hours to which I will know if it’s a liar or truth teller. We are going to have a real problem if it’s a liar.
Aside from that, I am getting my first spray tan of my life tonight [WHO AM I] so we will see what type of orange shenanigans I can get myself into with that. The bummer news is that when you are getting a spray tan you are expected to shave your legs. I was holding out strong at a solid three weeks until this had to go and ruin my life. I just keep telling myself “it’s okay Erin, winter is coming” so you know, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Okay, I think I am supposed to go now in hopes of scratching the trillion other things off my list. Remind me to write down “make macaroni and cheese for lunch” on my list next time. K, thanks, bye.
Founder and creator of LIY, Erin turned her dream of a hobby blog into a full-time career which she now runs alongside the LIY team! When not in front of her computer screen [with a La Croix or wine in hand] or in front of a mirror taking mirror selfies, you can find Erin spending time on the water, cuddled up with her two pups and husband most likely watching the latest Shark Tank episode, or getting lost in an easy beach read.
