Last night I. DID. NOT. SLEEP.
Life has been a little cray cray lately. From my last post, it may seem like I have everything planned out, and I do! Thing is... Life loves to NOT go according to my plans. REALLY loves it.
Basically, without going into all the details (and photos courtesy of Google), here's the deal: My phone looks something like this...

| Run over by a car in parking lot |
Last night, I was dealing with a big mystery stain on the carpet that looked something like this....
 |
| (thank you garbage bag) |
Said stain flippin' re-appeared overnight after I spent a good half hour cleaning it up last night. WHAT!?
I am trying desperately to remember this...

So... I didn't blog my Seattle pictures or get to bed until 11pm again.
Here's those pictures from the weekend in Seattle though. I can't show you the pictures of my new hair cut because they were on my phone, which is OK because now it'll be a total suprise revealling when I put up pictures after competition :)
These pictures survived though because they were on my camera. Let this be a testimony to why you should never let me near a mall... especially one with amazing stores like Lululemon and H&M.
 |
| University Village Shopping Center |
 |
| This place was shopper's paradise... |
 |
| ... And a literal paradise, there were beautiful flowers all over the walkways. LOVE. |
 |
| Action shot! This little guy was playing in the fountains. Oh to be young and carefree. |
 |
| Really? Must you tease me. |
 |
| I must distract myself from crepes... Enter: LULULEMON!! |
 |
| I knew going into the store I wouldn't buy anything, but here's what I tried on. Ya know, just cuz. |
 |
| Dream outfit! I am in love with the material of their clothes. If you've tried it then you know. |
 |
| Okay I had to... I heard Lululemon are the "Perfect Butt Pants." Are they? |
 |
| Next stop: H&M to find a cheap outfit for a mystery event I am doing on Monday |
 |
| The possibilities are endless! Seriously, I was probably there for 2 hours. |
 |
| H&M was a total success, and super cheap! (A nice change from the rest of my life) I found the perfect mystery event outfit; plus for only $5 bucks I snagged these pants + belt. Cool. |
As far as today goes, I am determined to make the best of it. So far: there's a work barbecue at lunch so the whole place smells like bacon, and all the fridges are full of carrot cake, brownies and what I hear is Orlando's "super delicious flan". [Lord, seriously... just let me make it through this week.]
Again... Must. Find. Distraction. From. Food. I turned to the blogs, but only to find that it seems everyone is blogging about the same things: Food, Stress, and Shopping. What I found on my blog roll this morning:
- lifeofahappyblonde - just found this one, I need to study her ways and become a 'happy blonde' myself.
- Fitnessista is a shopping nut too, beware: she found Costco...
- College Fashion knows me all too well and posted about 10 Ways to Detox and De-Clutter Your Life Mid-Summer
- Zuzana and Freddy are still kicking butt and loving life over at BodyRock
All in all, I need to cut some things out or else I may crash and burn before Saturday so I am going on a "media fast" until sometime next week. No electronics: no TV, email, Blogger, Facebook, movies, music... ect. I need it to be just me and God in my head, not all the extra "noise" the world wants to put in there. It's already off to a great start with my cell phone smashed to bits. So this means I'll also not be blogging again until after the competition - it's not you, it's me. Please pray for my sanity!
Signing off for now,
Ruthie
