Happy Monday people! Today was one of those days where I felt like I was moving in slow motion and not much got accomplished. In fact I’m wearing baggy jeans and a sweatshirt. So it’s a good thing I have some extra pictures laying around. 🙂

Today we’re going to talk about the office I never use. Isn’t it great? I’ve got a sweet little lamp, an african Violet, and an Italy photo from Inspired Photography. Plus, Bob is in there and that means hug & kiss breaks while we work.

Only problem is I don’t like sitting in there. I feel a little like I’m in school and like I HAVE to be there. But since I’m working from home, I thought I needed a friendlier environment to inspire me to actually get work done. So I sit in the kitchen. 🙂

Do you have a home office you never use?

Have you guys heard of The Moth? Well, I hadn’t until my grade school friend decided to be part of Moth Up March here in STL. We (Anna, Katie, Gertie and I) got to see her at the legendary Blueberry Hill tell her story of how she delivered her baby in the backseat of her car (it’s pretty funny actually). And then we got our pictures taken at an old-timey photo booth with black and white photos! So fun! Maybe I’ll scan those and give you a peek. It’s pretty hard to fit four people into one of those little booths tho. We all have at least one picture where we’re making a weird face or where our face is cut out all together. Ha! But so much fun.

So, what have you been up to? Do any fun local things lately?

I totally got inspired by Tanvi today. You know, the girl who did that awesome post for me yesterday? Well, I was reading her blog and she was talking about things she should do before she turned 30. So, I decided to start my own list. I was going to tell it to you today, but then I decided it was too much pressure to come up with on the spot here at Starbucks (yes, I’m writing at Starbucks today). So, I thought I’d ask you gals what I should do before I’m 30. Then I’ll compile a list of what you tell me to do and some things I’d like to do and then check them off.

I’ve only got 6 months to accomplish my goal, so don’t go crazy folks. But, help me out peeps! Do I need to get one of these, or a pair of these? OK, those are a bit lavish, but what do I need to do before I’m 30?
