Best Laid Plans

01.20.2011 by Linda Lotich //

You know when you make plans and through no fault of your own everything just goes wrong? That’s what’s happening to us this week. We were supposed to leave on Monday, but had some car trouble. Now, we’re just waiting to hear if our car is fixed. We are trying our best to keep good attitudes, but I’m not looking forward to seeing 6-8 inches of snow instead of 70 degree weather.

We’ve both gotten worked up a few times, but soon realize there’s no use. It’s out of our hands. So, I’m going to list off some things that I’m grateful for instead of complaining.

  1. I’m happy I even have the chance to go on a vacation at all.
  2. I’m happy I got to spend the past 2 days with my favorite person on the earth even though it’s not at the beach.
  3. I’m happy that I got to wear a shirt my sister gave me the other day (a late Christmas present) before we leave.
  4. I’m happy we got to spend a fun day that included shopping at Crate & Barrel.
  5. I’m happy Bob just got a call from the mechanic to say our car is fixed.
  6. I’m happy that I’m alive and living in the land of the free and home of the brave.

I’ve got a good life.

First Day of Vacation

01.17.2011 by Linda Lotich //

Today is our first day of vacation. It’s not working out the way we planned for it to, but we don’t mind. We’re thankful that we get to go on vacation at all. Gertrude came over today and helped me think through what I’m packing. I hope to keep you entertained the next several weeks. And hopefully I’ll be buying some goodies along the way.

She was telling me I should buy something from each city we spend time at, since there will be quite a few. She mentioned charms for my charm bracelet and I thought that sounded like such fun. That was my original intent when I bought it, but have forgotten about it since then. So that’ll be something fun to do on the trip. She also said she likes to buy jewelry from every place she goes. That sounds like much more of an expense, but we’ll see.

Do you do anything fun like this? Give me some more ideas!

Not My Best

01.12.2011 by Linda Lotich //

Today’s not my best. Despite the fact that I just got some powder (which I don’t normally wear {I’m super excited to see if it polishes off my look!}) and I forced my sister to pluck my eyebrows (her’s are perfect. I’m thinking about forcing her to do a tutorial for you guys!). I’ve got a few things going wrong and since we’re BFF’s, I thought you needed to see the results.

  1. I’m absolutely freezing here. Two days ago Bob looked at the thermostat and then looked at me and exclaimed, “75!?!?!” Yeah. I turned it up to 75 because I was freakin’ freezing in my own house and I wanted to be warm. He then told me I needed to just wear more clothes. The result? Sweatshirts and Uggs.
  2. Morning Face. Remember when I first told you about my morning face? Well, I made him swear that he’d tell me if I didn’t look good. And today while taking my pictures he said, “Um, your face doesn’t look that great.” Thanks Honey. I knew I could count on you.
  3. My hair is a mess. I think it may look cool in real life, but it’s not translating in the pictures.
  4. I’m working at Starbucks and anything I bring in here is going to smell like Starbucks when I leave, so I didn’t want to wear anything new, although I do have something new to show you guys. It’ll have to wait until I’m in a better smelling environment.

So pardon me if I don’t really want to show you my face today. OK, you can see it a little.

hi I’m linda

I love my hubby, baby, fresh cut flowers, chocolate and Starbucks. Watching God do wonderful things and finding His purpose for me in it all.
