Ode to my missing Loubie...

Oh where oh where has my Loubie gone?

Oh where oh where can it be?

I got a good deal on Gilt.com

They quickly shipped them to me.

I wore them once I wore them twice

If I could find them I'd wear them thrice

Oh where has my Loubie gone???

The week ahead...

All About Steve- I can not WAIT to see this movie. It looks so cute.

Melrose Place- Hope it as good as the first time around. Doubtful, but I hope.

My friend Brittany's baby shower- Since it's her third baby, we're not doing a traditional baby shower. We're having a fun "ladies night." I'd tell you more, but it's top secret as we have not told Brittany what we're up to. Every girl needs a surprise once in a while, right?

Wrapping up the first 2010 budget for my three sites I am responsible for. I'll be dreaming of adding machines by the weekend.

Hoping I can find a time for a pedicure. I need one!

Daydreaming about my upcoming trip to Washington DC.... Just a little tidbit about me, I was born there and lived in DC for four years.

Working on my Swap N Shop Event I am hosting next month. Boy, it will be here quickly. Anyone want to volunteer to help work the event??? Come on Columbus ladies, you know you want to be a part of this fun event...

Week two of Tessa's senior year. AARGH. She got her senior football jersey. How pretty does she look? Spent a good chunk of time researching trip ideas for her graduation gift. Capri? (Brian thinks I am WAY crazy at this point.)

Reading The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan. It is very good. I'll share more after I am finished with it.

Thinking about a hectic September. Lots of work travel for my husband and I this month. At one point I will leave on a Sunday, come home on a Tuesday, at which point he will leave once I get home, he will get back on Friday just in time for me to leave to return Sunday. Whew! And that's just one week...

Happy Monday! I'm still looking for my Loubie.

Mea Culpa

I have a bad feeling I forgot to send out a book. Did someone want to read Home Safe by Elizabeth Berg? It was really good. If someone did ask me to send them this, please let me know. Or if you didn't, and you want to let me know!

*Also, I've added a couple of new titles to my lending library. Check them out!

Silence is golden...

Or so they say. I haven't decided yet. The stereo on my Volvo is out, along with all of the electrical components on the middle of my car. Silence. It's just me, along with the moans and groans of my car as we go over speed bumps and the occasional trucker honking at us as we drive by and Caroline is furiously pumping her arm up and down at them. (If you're tired of me going on and on about my car, sorry. I know I need to step up to the plate and buy a new one, but really, I am in a battle of wills with my current car and am determined to win. Which makes me a loser. C'est la vie...)
All of this "quiet time" in the car has given me ample opportunity to daydream about future purchases I would like to make.
I've got three I'm obsessing about:
1) This little beauty from Top Shop. It's sold out. Sigh.......... I just know I would have looked SO CUTE in it. Especially at the Pitbull concert.
2) The Clarisonic. Kind of feeling like I need it. I'm sure this feeling will pass and I'll decide I need something else. Obviously my moods lately with regards to skin care are like some crazy middle aged pendulum swinging ALL OVER THE PLACE.
3) The Louis Vuitton ALMA MM. In Bleu Nuit, preferably. If I'm going to daydream, why not make it big, right?

What the?

1) Found one Loubie. One. Not to make light of certain situations, but am considering chopping off a foot so I can still make use of the one shoe I do have.
2) Managed to burn Tuna Helper.
3) Some random guy tried to pass me on the road. I could see him in my rear view mirror being all aggressive with the traffic behind me. As he approached my car I could see a Yankee Candle air freshener hanging from his rear view mirror. Not a chance am I letting a sissy like that pass me. Seeing as how I have no working cd player (actually, the entire stereo is shot at this point) I was only able to play the song "You're a jerk" in my head. But he was. I mean for real, at least take the Yankee Candle air freshener down if you're going to drive like a total douche. (Sorry)
4) Went to my washing machine to take the clothes from the washer and put them into the dryer. There were no clothes in the washer. Or the dryer. Either I just forgot to do a load of laundry or I am so organized that I forgot washing and drying an entire load of laundry. Whatever.
5) Have no clean spoons in the silverware drawer. Except for the gelato spoons I bought at Jeni's ice cream. That counts. Right? *Does it count against me that I bought the spoons during a time when I was trying not to shop, which really meant not buying clothes and I was so desperate to buy SOMETHING that I bought several pints of ice cream and a set of spoons?

Katie's Lending Library

Since my early childhood dream of becoming a librarian did not pan out I've decided to do my own lending library on my blog. If you see something you like listed under KT's Lending Library over to the left hand side, click on the book title to see more about it. Want to read it? Just email me your name and address and I'll send it to you. You don't even have to send it back, just pass it along to a friend. As many of you know, I love sharing my books so don't be shy! I only get around to shipping once a week or so, and I ship media rate so it may take a bit longer but they will get there, I promise!

A bugs life

I got home from work to find my husband standing at our kitchen window telling me to come see this bug. THIS BUG? More like THIS BIG A** BUG!!!!! It's like a freak show on my window. I am terribly afraid of bugs, but Brian told me we HAD to get a picture of this thing, and he was correct. I was able to get within a few inches for this photo op. After consulting the BEST BUG WEBSITE EVER, http://www.whatsthatbug.com/ I have decided the closest thing I can come up with is that this is a Walnut Underwing.
