How many is a few?

So I'm still not back on track after the holidays..... I am a person who needs structure. The few extra days I built in after the trip before I had to return to work has not worked out well. Those few days were supposed to allow me to "get organized" and/or clean out some of my ridiculously full closet. 

Knowing that I have to get up, shower and get my butt to work is apparently a good thing after all. 

Coming down off of the "high" of traveling to meccas of style and design has not set well with me this time.  Usually I come home filled with inspiration.  This time I came home and have settled into a sense of melancholy that I just can't kick. It's time to get back to work.  Did I ever think I'd say that?

First day of my ---- maybe a few more days of "planning"

Having just returned from a triumphant holiday road trip, the first day home is a flurry of laundry and larder stocking.  The night wouldn't bring any sleep so the bursts of energy were few and far between....hopefully tomorrow will bring a renewed sense of POW!

Lovin' me some Southern atmosphere

Atlanta, Chattanooga, Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans....these places inspire me.  The beautiful architecture, the food, (and saving the best for last), the history is so thick you can cut it with a knife!  I realized today that being in these places is so inspiring to me that I MUST find a way to make regular trips to these wonderful meccas of style and history.  Not only will I enjoy it, but I think my soul will feel better.  These places stir my soul and it beats the heck out of sleepwalking thru life!  Yep, I love me some Southern atmosphere for sho!

Walking in the footsteps of history

My two youngest sons and I spent the past 2 days in Washington, D.C.  We are all history buffs and I'm an architecture junkie so D.C. is one of the best cities for people like us.  Walking among the beautiful buildings and magnificent collections in museums makes for the best road trip EVER!
