Yesterday morning, my week seemed well mapped out. Here is what my "to do" list might have looked like.
- Get a polish change on lunch hour
- Sing to dying people (this is not snarky, I actually do this for a living)
- Eat amazing polish food in Hamtramck and then be serenaded by Ingrid Michaelson
- Plan amazing 6 year old friend b-day party for Sunday
- Take loads of pics of the laundered, scrubbed, and ironed pretties for shop
- Post new shop stuff because life has been too busy to care this week (there was this easter bunny thing,
other 6 year old birthday parties, etc, etc...life has been busy people!)
Then everything changed. Family emergency in Toledo. So this is what my week actually looks like.
- Bite nails to the quick
- Sing to dying people (they don't care about my nonsense, girl with guitar just better keep on singing)
- Eat hospital cafeteria chef salad while Ingrid Michaelson blared on the loudspeaker in said cafeteria and
friends were at concert (not even making sh@t this up)
- Pull off birthday party
- Take one pic of clothes and post so you think I had good shop intentions
***Open chilled bottle of L Mawby SEX intended for someone other than myself... and get in tub...and
read Edwardian romance novel. period. done. Because sometimes you have to just be ok with this,
and you do anything for family. anything.
In the words of Ray LaMontagne, "You win some, you lose some, you let it go." Just let it go.
The clothes of good intentions.
HI Erica,
ReplyDeleteI am just finally finding some of your 'stuff' (you have things going on all over the place on this internet!) I am sorry your week was difficult and hope that the emergency had a good outcome. I am very impressed with how you pulled up the bootstraps and soldiered on to create a beautiful party and make lasting memories for your little Queen. (I need to try out this bath and bottle thing!) xo
