Moving day yesterday went fairly well; there were some glitches, but no rain so can’t ask for more when moving.
Even if I’m not the one doing the heavy furniture lifting, damn is it exhausting!
The biggest hiccup : all of the screws for our bed frames and headboards are missing. So that’s nice. So not a single bed is put together. Of course my husband is traveling. He somehow has been gone for all moving activities: from packing up Chicago to moving into the storage unit to moving some things into my moms to now the new home. He is having fun in Viva Las Vegas while all of this occurs. I mean, yes, he’s working, but still…… gotta give him crap where I can because I am jealous I’m not sleeping in a hotel bed with blackout shades and non-stop nightlife at my fingertips!
So, none of the beds are together and we are missing the legs for several pieces of furniture, and also for our main sofa which luckily we are changing out for another one as we speak. We couldn’t even sit on the couch because it was angled from missing legs.
I didn’t even bother opening any “Fragile” boxes yesterday…. yesterday’s movers commented too many times about how horribly everything was moved from Chicago so I just couldn’t bear it. I’m heading back over today to assess the damages.
But it’s okay because there are instant solutions for all of these things.

At this point it’s just funny.
and I am lucky enough to be able to say “ugh I’m done” and just go back to my Mom’s with a clean bedroom and bed (and fully stocked DVR) which I realize we are so fortunate to be able to do. Our previous moves were all a one day move-out and move-in to the new place situation, and it is the most exhausting day EVER.
PLUS these moves involve Chick-fil-A for lunch 🙂
My life motto is : “When you can’t Wine, Waffle Fry.”
I’m now accepting offers for motivational speaking based on that motto alone.
E-mail me for current rates and availability, mmmk?
Now, onto FALL SHOPPING 🙂
Here are some fall items catching my eye lately!
One of my favorite fall fashion items to wear year after year is a good vest.
They are the perfect layering piece and you can wear it with so many different outfits for different looks.
One of my favorite vests that I own is currently 50% off!
I am excited to open the wardrobe boxes and pull out my vests.
I’ve also always loved this vest too, which is also 50% off right now!
I love the corduroy detail on this navy vest so much.
I love this bracelet stack. It comes in different color options, but this one seems like it would perfectly go with everything in a fall wardrobe.
other accessory loves :
Another one of my favorites I’m excited to pull out is my blush blazer cape from last year.
This one is nearly identical to my BB Dakota that I frequently wore.
I am so obsessed with the moss green satchel that I can’t stand it.
It’s been eyeing me on Pinterest board every darn day.
This leather tote is the best bargain out there.
it comes in several different colors, and all are reversible – so it immediately is two purses in one.
PLUS it comes with the wristlet!
so it’s 3-in-1. And under $50!!
Happy Shopping!
I leave you with a quote that’s very fitting
