WnW Spring Lake Limited Edition: Wear Skinny Jeans
…except don’t.
Because it’s 100 degrees outside.
PS…this polish is a pretty close dupe for Essie Bikini So Teeny that actually has a dream formula and my favorite wide brush.  Just thought you’d like to know.
Things are going pretty well, actually.  I was seriously hesitant for summer hours because I was unsure of how I would balance everything–but it’s working out much better than I could have anticipated.  
When I got to work on Monday, the oldest surprised me with an office space.  It was honestly the sweetest thing ever, and I’m much more productive in that little corner in the few minutes I get here and there throughout the day than I have been since we moved here.  I’m excited for what’s to come.
I’m hesitant to admit this on le’blog just because what if I crash and burn but here goes nothing.  I’m on deadline, people.  Six weeks.  In six weeks there will be another book.  A rough draft, but a book nonetheless.  It’s go time.  And I couldn’t be more excited!
Everything just feels right.  Things are happening and I still have to pinch myself every now and again that we’re actually here.  I don’t know if I ever mentioned that I threw my back out last week.  J and I spent the entire weekend on the couch watching OITNB–but every so often I’d drift in and out of sleep (thank you, muscle relaxers)–and I kept waking up in a haze, kind of unsure of where I was.
And for some reason, my default setting is still Buies Creek.  In my head, I still identify those empty streets and open pastures as “home.”  And while I don’t miss it, it’s still a part of who we are and what we’ve become.  And it’s an odd feeling when I suddenly remember that no…we’re here.  We’re in Charlotte living the life we have now.  A good feeling, but odd nonetheless. 
It just goes to show you, people, that you can have everything all planned out.  You can have big dreams, ideas, and plans and yet you can still end up somewhere completely different doing something so off the mark and still be happy.
