Change the Funk

I've been in a bit of a funk today so here are my suggestions that helped me cheer up a bit.

1. Walk around Target aimlessly. Purchases not necessary.
2. Read the current issue of Glamour with Amanda Seyfried on the cover. I'm so looking forward to spring clothing and bright colors.
   
3. Listen to music. Tonight I paid a visit to Judy Garland and Adele. And it was perfect.
   
   
   
   
4. Look at pretty things. Stumpz notified us of a Kate Spade sale and I picked out a few things for myself to look. Le sigh.
5. Make a list of all the trips I want to take categorized by country, of course.
   
   
6. Read childhood favorite Anne of Green Gables. It was either Anne or Lucille Ball who began my love for gingers. Maybe it was both.

I'm feeling loads better now so, hopefully, I'll be able to get a good night's sleep with some lovely dreams.

Packing Essentials

I'm so excited to be heading out to Atlanta next week! Shopping, good food and adult drinks with adult friends...I can barely contain myself. Oh, and I get to see my boyfriend again while he attends the AMTA Music Therapy Conference. We haven't seen each other since Labor Day so this visit is definitely long overdue. Since I'll also be seeing old friends I've been planning cute outfits to wear for my for my visit. I have my Day/casual/sightseeing outfits and then I have the Night/party/cute outfits for each day that I'm there. Some may see it as OCD but I think it's pretty practical (plus, I LOVE planning and making lists). The hard part is trying to figure out what to bring so I can maximize my carry-on space. Anybody have any tips for efficient packing?
