And this umbrella? LOVE IT. We all know I have a thing for umbrellas anyway, but this one is divinely fantastic! Clear, polka dots and yellow= perfect for the impending rainy spring!
And these shoes… I am a CLOG LOVER… and these are just adorable, and look super comfy!

For you, a list… A list of things I feel like doing vs. DO NOT feel like doing…

For instance-

I do feel like having a luxiourous and de-stressing spa day complete with herbal tea, aromatherapy, massage and a facial.

Where as, I do NOT feel like being stuck at home, yet again, with a ten year old girl who is driving me a tad bit crazy.

I do feel like shopping, but don’t feel like dealing with the crowds.

I do feel like eating cookies, but i don’t feel like baking them. (or anything for that matter.)

I do feel like sitting down with a good movie and a bottle of wine. Unfortunately, it is early in the day and I do NOT feel like my daughter growing up with traumatic memories of her momma as a lush. Sad.

I do feel like going to the movies. Always. Come rain or shine. I am like the postal service, in that manner…

I do feel like wearing a warm and cozy sweater, but I do NOT feel like doing the laundry to get it warm and cozy.

I do feel like giving everyone their gifts because I’m so excited for them to open them. I also feel like spending my imaginary money on even more things for them… I desperately wanted to get Genny the new American Girl doll Rebecca… I am so sad it never fit in the budget. I almost bought it about 10 minutes ago, with expedited shipping, but who am i kidding… It still wouldn’t be here on time. Sad. Her birthday is in March but I want her to have her NOW… NOW I tell you…. (hello consumer madness.)

I DO love the multi holiday GAP add and want to watch it all of the time. For the sanity of my family though, I will refrain.

I do not want to deal with drama today. I DO have my sister coming to spend the afternoon. After she called in an emotional panic.

I do want to run away.

I do want a rum and coke. 10 % coke. Sad. I will, too, refrain from this for said reason mentioned above.

This HAS been an overly stressful holiday season. Possibly because my heart just isn’t in it. Plus, probably because there is a lot of dishonesty going around the adults of my family at this time, which is just lame and pathetic.

SCRATCH EVERYTHING on my Santa list, I want an all inclusive trip to somewhere tropical, warm and perfect.

Amen…
