Ever have one of those blah days, where you feel kinda bummed out for no particular reason? Not depressed or anything, just black and white and in need of color...
Yeah, I'm having one of those days. Woke up to the smoke alarm this morning around 4:30 and never really went back to sleep, the boys woke up early and were whiny messes, didn't make it out of the house with coffee or lunch, and the list goes on and on. I did blow dry my hair, but Aidan's was a disaster to say the least.
Once I got to work, a sugar free Starbucks mocha and mini quiche from Boston Avenue Grill helped tremendously, then I needed some tunes to get me goin'. I felt like a little Ra Ra Riot to get me started then hit genius, and I LOVE this new mix. St. Peter's Day Festival might be my new favorite song from the album, and Girl in the War by Josh Ritter might be a new top 10 song for me. Expect a post on those two!
Lunchtime...still wookin' pa nub...
...and...found it.
Lunch.
Had my first veggie burrito. I've been on the Ensalada a la Elote kick lately, and this was a delightful freshie fresh. Black beans, sweet potatoes, caramelized onions, spinach, cheddar, and white queso. Ptl.
When I'm feeling blah, I need art and beauty, creativity, and yes projects. These kids helped me today...
SouleMama and her latest blog about paint choices. I totally want my house to look like hers...
Design Sponge and their mini-trends. I'm finding myself drawn to red for the first time in my life! And see that stocking over on the right? I'm lovin' birds and trees, and am wondering if I'll ever finish the family Christmas stockings I started last year. I got one of mine done, and helped Meg with hers, but never finished mine. Go figure, right?
ashley ann and her DIYs (not to mention her amazing photography!). Oh, I will make this doilie table runner. It will go ever so perfectly on my kitchen table when I finish painting it!
And Jenny, with Pearl Street Interiors, has her Little Green Notebook blog where she posts daily inspiration. I'm in love with her green book, as I have my own green book in my bag, always, and I adore this color pallette in the header of her front page. I think I want my bedroom to be that blue, and that orangy red in the kitchen...two of my kitchen chairs will be that deep blue for sure...
Hmmm...la la la, la ti da...mood is better. Coming home to my Mr. Wonderful, chinese food, Java Chip ice cream and laughs helped too. Ended the night with nuggles and kisses from my littles.
Sigh, it's Thursday. Another one down, and a few more dreams in my pocket to take with me into the weekend.
