I Think I’m Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter

The other day I had a fleeting thought about how absolutely fantastic it would be when I get to Walmart and forget what I came for, or pull up at the bank drive thru only to realize I left the check at home, or when my son is talking non stop,or when I am trying to make some sense of the 50 million things running through my mind at any given time, that clad in my skinny jeans with my lipgloss poppin’, I could stop WHEREVER I am (spectators welcomed) and do the Wonder Woman twirl. As I’m twirling my wrist cuffs would emit super powers to magically exonerate each task on my to do list, and even quiet a crying or overly talkative child.

Yeah right. Fast forward to a post by Mama Locs regarding her practice of keeping a pen and paper handy to jot down the things she has to do, and another post by Being Mrs. Jones about what she would like her day to look like, I embarked on a journey to find a journal that could fit in my purse and keep my to do lists and daily plans neat, and in one place. Lo and behold I found this at my local Walmart, on clearance!

How Fitting!!

So now..let’s just hope it serves its purpose, and the pages aren’t torn out by a 4 year old, or I don’t write my name 100 times in different penmanship styles (yes, I still doodle)! Here’s to my new journal, and my first step…next week, on the journey to becoming better organized. Will you join me!!!

Do share your tried and true tips for organization, or will you be joining me in trying to organize the mind and tangible clutter in your home and life?!!

No Use in Crying Over Spilled Milk

Saturday evening, I got the opportunity to leave the burbs and head to the city for a much needed girls night out. I joined one of my good friends for dinner, and the evening was going better than planned, that is until the waitress asked would we like a beverage from the bar. Before she could get the question out good, I blurted I’ll have a chocolate martini. I’m not a drinker, but certainly a martini snob, and having been pregnant and currently nursing it has been almost a year since I’ve had one. Yum…it was a just right mix, not too strong and extra chocolatey, exactly how I like them. It surely didn’t disappoint, until I got home.

So I knew when I drank it I would have to pump and pour out the milk, sounds easy right..WRONG!! As I poured that milk down the drain, I think a tear went with it. Anyone who has ever pumped and knocked the bottle over feels my pain. I guess I should’ve thought about the consequences before I enjoyed that decadent vodka and chocolate treat..oh well, I guess I have learned my lesson, and we’ll just say that $9.50 was an investment into my sanity for the upcoming week!!

She doesn’t seem too happy about me pouring out that milk either!!

Mimi’s Must Haves and Maybes for Fall

Foliage, cabin getaways, crisp nights, pumpkin patch hayrides, early morning pee wee football games, fly boots, fabulous sweaters, banging coats…ahh yes, although squinting I can see Fall on the horizon and I am excited! My favorite season of the year is upon us and I only need half of a reason to get my mind wrapped around the things that I must have and the ones I have to cup my hands to the window and daydream about. The Mr. took the babies out for awhile last night, and off I went into cyberland plotting on my next purchases..hmmmmm…and then they came home!!

Stumbled on H&M’s virtual tool… I created this outfit..go play, its pretty neat

Full outfit with accessories for $100..Can’t beat that

Do share, what’s on your must haves and maybes list?

Me• Organization

One Step at a Time…

Last Monday’s post regarding my struggle with making my week run smoother, and my need to organize has started to become a reality. Although none of my “try” to do list got completed last week, I did start off this week with a bang. Okay, I won’t lie the bang came with a little help from the Mr., as we took a few hours on Sunday to thoroughly clean and dust the house.

With me delivering the baby via C-section just three months ago, I have only been up and about for the past month, and my house totally needed a deep cleaning. So I was very thankful for his help and now I can implement my new weekly cleaning schedule, that I have yet to come up with. So now that the house is in order, I am totally starting to think about buying a few new fall decor items and fragrances for the house. Did I mention I love fall!

House is clean, I finished all of my laundry, I’m feeling good about it all until I drive through the car pool line to pick up my son, and now I am embarassed at the fact that the line helpers are looking at this as they open the door to let my boy in..MY CAR IS A WRECK!!

My favorite slingbacks and a baby shower invitation from 3 weeks ago *SMH*

Don’t judge me…Bet you can’t find my lipgloss!!

These are all things that I need in the car..I’m just sure there is a better way of storing them

Can you guess what’s on my to do list for the week…Does your car look as bad as mine, and if not what do you do to keep it clean?
