Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal

Another weekend come and gone, another holiday accounted for. I lived up to the itinerary I outlined on Friday quite well. I believe I failed to mention this partFriday, but I created a glorious 4 days off for myself so I have an extra day before returning to reality.

This got me thinking about all I've been able to get done while still enjoying time off from alarm clocks and routines. I'd like to go on the record and fully endorse what my campaign would refer to as the "4/3 Greatness". This would be where we would all work 3 days and have 4 off. I mean, the whole life's too short mentality? Um, yea. But most people can't just quit working due to the need for survival and lack of a silver spoon birth right. This would allow moderation but with promotion of living for life, not for a living. Yay! Elle Woods for president!

Some visual recaps:

Can I just say, yumm? Innovative, precise, and tasty would surmise the entire experience.

Jimmy Hula's goodness.

Hot as all be but totally worth it since I was hanging with my good gal pal Jenny. Don't worry, I was lathered up in my SPF.

We totally knocked out the last season and a half of SOA. My god, what an amazing, amazing show. A bit intense at times and it doesn't hurt to have a drink prior to some scenes, but the acting seals its greatness. The entire cast is expert for their roles. Don't take my word for it, Netflix it up.

Happy last week of May! BTW, WTF? When did this happen?

Til we meet again,
M

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w...

Simple blessings

I’m lying in bed, next to a snoring husband and my baby girl dogter sprawled out cozy as can be, while the rain falls down upon our roof. Gone are the days of spending a Saturday night downtown at a club, throwing beers back in a honky think, or galavanting around to anywhere with the lights on. And I’m not mad about it. Not even a little bit. There is tilt no place I’d rather be than with hunter, Roni and our comfy sweet little home happily netflixing and writing this here post. It’s a good feeling indeed. I count my blessings extra on nights like this and say a few additional prayers for love and comfort to continue on. I truly don’t ask for more than health, happiness, and love. Anything else is gravy. To simple blessings for all.

Blogtober Dayyyy 27! A Letter To Your Younger Self

First of all, this is my 203rd post! I slid right on by the day I hit 200, probably in a haze from writing so many days consistently like this. So I am now thrilled to announce I am moving right along and haven't tapped out. For that I have Blogtober 2014 to give credit to. I am so so so determined to meet my goal of writing all 31 days. Thank you again for linking this up Helene and Taylor !! Now, on to today's topic: A Letter To Your Younger Self Dear 22-27 year old Meggie, Hey, it's me, 29 year old you. Just wanted to check in and cover a couple things that I've learned to be true, so if you want to go ahead and use this insight sooner, have at it. So a few things still stand that I've mentioned to 17 year old you and as I recounted the ten things I've learned since high school . Please keep drinking water over anything else and avoid the hair bleach. But you know, being 29 and thinking back, the ages 22-27 were a huge chapter of your life a...
