Aaaaaand, We’re Off!

Wanna see what we left?

Bob had to shovel paths for our tires just so we could get out of our garage! Last night, the low was 2. We drove 12 hours and currently I’m sitting in a hotel where it’s almost 50 outside! That’s a drastic improvement as far as I’m concerned.

On the road we listened to The 4-Hour Workweek. It’s inspiring me to get more organized and streamline everything. This would have probably really helped me when I was at my job, but now I just want to hire someone to clean my entire house while I sit around and watch Oprah.

But more than that he suggested that anything that you want to do sometime in your life (or someday…), you have time to do it now! That got me excited. He suggested you start with something to learn, a place to go, um, and 3 other things that I can’t remember. Oh, Bob just reminded me that he’s more about doing what you want to do rather than having things you want to have.

This is probably the worst description of this book ever written. But you should totally read (or listen to) it.

Now, here are some pictures of me on the road and in McAlisters where I decided no make-up was necessary if I wear my glasses. Ha!

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.

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.
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.
My hair is a mess. I think it may look cool in real life, but it’s not translating in the pictures.
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.
