It’s officially my last day of sanity. As of tomorrow, I shift into summer hours which for the rest of you might mean slower, more leisurely days. But for me it means something completely different. I’m currently a little overwhelmed trying to sort out my writing schedule around what my new summer hours will look like. I know one way or another everything will get done, but I do worry just a little what that will mean for you know, any kind of actual life.
You shouldn’t cartwheel when you’re 29. Nope. Definitely not. According to the aching in my entire body and the soreness in my left foot, while I can still physically cartwheel, I should definitely refrain in the future. But hey! At least I still CAN! That’s something, right? ::limps away::
I won’t be going back to the Aveda Institute. I was planning an entire post where I was going to share my experiences over my last 4 encounters with them, but I realized it just wasn’t worth it. The only take away is that I just won’t be back. And I will no longer sing their praises or recommend them to anyone. Their services are just fine. I’ve never actually had a “bad” haircut from them. But their customer service? Yeah. No. I get that it’s a school, but you’re literally training people to be in a customer service fueled career. You’d think you’d care a little more. So overall? I won’t be back.
I kind of forgot Monday was my birthday. Once I got home for the evening, I watched netflix and laid around. I had a yummy dinner but decided I wanted something sweet. I texted J and asked if he’d pick up something sweet on his way home (which isn’t uncommon for me). I was expecting like a pack of M&Ms or something. But no. Homeboy walked in with a Carvel ice cream birthday cake and wine. #winner.
I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend. The only plans we have for Friday night are to order pizza and binge watch the new season of OITNB. I have a good bit of writing to do/plan out for the next several weeks, also. I’m eager to just lock myself in my office most of Saturday and pounding some work out. Things have been so crazy (in a good way) lately, but sometimes it’s nice to just be quiet for a hot minute.

I feel like we're normally so on the same page {i.e.: yesterday's post} but today I'm actually in the opposite boat. Your schedule is about to get busier, mine is about to finally slow down. We're going on vacation and then I have a to-do list a mile long of stuff that hasn't gotten done around here. But you know, sometimes I'm more productive when I have limited time because I make it more of a point to get things done. Your little birthday celebration is so perfect. And you obviously have a good man – he brought you wine, too! Cheers!
I feel you on this; my life is going to slow down at work, but is about to pick up full steam with all the projects we've neglected. Love that ice cream cake you received and the wine! xoxo
Now I totally want to take this 29 year old body and see if it can still cartwheel. I can only imagine how epicly this will end. I should have someone video my attempts.
I miss Carvel cakes. I wanted an ice cream cake for our wedding but my parents said no. It's OK though because our cake was pretty amazing. Anyways.. hello HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope that you had the best day ever. Lady, how do you forget your birthday?! And your hubs did a great job with the cake and wine. 🙂 I hope that you get to relax a bit in the next few weeks too. 🙂
Ooo ice cream cake! He did good! LOL I remember the last time I tried to do a cartwheel. Emphasis on "tried". It did not end well. 😉
Husband of the year with that cake purchase!! YES!!! I haven't done a cartwheel since I was in middle school so I will not be attempting in my 28th year of life LOL! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Oh how I love Carvel cakes!!!!!! They are simply the best.
Happy late birthday as my mini-vacation caused me to post on the internet like crazy but read very little (hey, I was conserving battery life!). That cake looks great… now I want ice cream and it isn't even 9 a.m.! I need to read some OITNB recaps since I forgot a lot of what happened so I can watch, too…
THAT CAKE!!! Yummy! Hope you've had a wonderful birthday week!
um that cake. haha. love it!!
i have never been able to cartwheel, so you go girl!
I agree: I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend.
That cake looks amazing.
I go to Aveda salons but I've never had a bad experience.
I hope you have lots of fun activities planned to keep kids busy (and tire them out, of course 🙂
Wishing you luck with transitioning to your new schedule. It might be chaotic for a bit. But you're a kick butt kind of gal, so you'll get it all done! Just remember to always leave a little time for you. 🙂
xoxo

Your upcoming weekend sounds like perfecting. Holy crap, that cake!! I want a slice right now 😉
You forgot your birthday? I'm so happy you got surprised with a tasty looking cake! Happy Birthday!!! I'm hoping for a quiet weekend too…but I bet that doesn't pan out. 🙂
Awwwwwwwww husband for the win!!! (My computer just kept on defaulting to wine….clearly it has preference to previously used words) 😉
Sounds like a great weekend you have coming up!!! That ice cream cake looks so delicious!!! Way better than just some M&M's. Everyone needs to consume some type of cake for their bday, duh! Good luck with your summer schedule. It sounds hectic but I am sure it will all work out for you.
