LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip is something everyone should see

Happy Halloween....I have no choice but to make a doctors appointment. I'm not getting any better. I went to bed at 7:15 last night and slept pretty well except for when I woke up coughing. Ok, done complaining. I have a ton of work to get through for month end.

Todays Lula is a fantastic lavender Perfect and leggings. I am in love with this outfit. Cherie puts together the best outfits ever!

But you're just a line in a song.....

Monday....I feel like I got hit by a bus. Pretty sure it's a sinus infection, but I really don't want to have to pay for a doctors visit. High deductible health plans are horrible at times like this. I'll put it off as long as possible because I don't want to spend the money.

I spent the whole weekend feeling horrible. I didn't get nearly as much work done as I wanted to. I didn't even remember to take pictures of my weekend Lula because I felt so icky. I'm going to try to get through today and then go home and rest more.

Today's Lula is to celebrate the Vikings being 6-2! A solid purple Amelia dress and the black Lindsay I wear often. I'm not totally in love with Amelia's, but I am totally in love with solid purple!!

And a bonus Fall Out Boy:

Sweet like candy to my soul, sweet you rock, and sweet you roll

FRIDAY!!! Finally! But, of course, my day can't be perfect because I woke up with a sore throat and a headache and what is quite possibly a sinus infection. YAY, ME!!! I'm finally getting caught up on everything, and we go live with our new system on Monday. It makes total and complete sense I would get sick at this moment. I felt fine yesterday, but today I feel like I got hit by a bus.

Nothing else to say except I need a nap. I will try to get through the day and then see what happens.

Today's Lula is a Perfect in my ultimate favorite pattern. So far I have collect 4 of these in different colors. The front is the reverse color of the back and sleeves. So very cute. This one is purple and white.

When I hear that old song they used to play......

Tomorrow is Friday! I'm so glad! Even though I have about 1500 commission transactions to process this weekend. But that's okay because I'll be in my pajamas. Which are really not all that different from the clothes I wear to work. Yay for LulaRoe!

I got a facebook message from a very old friend from high school that I have only talked with a couple times since graduation. She was one of my bff's in 9th grade and a very good friend in high school. We are making plans to get together for lunch in November. I'm excited to see her. We used to spend hours and hours on the phone back in the day. And we got into a little bit of trouble and she wasn't allowed to hang out with me much for awhile. I hope we are able to find a date to get together, I'd really like to see her. She was just the sweetest person ever.

Todays Lula is definitely close to pj's. A new beautiful hot pink and navy striped Irma with leggings that are navy and a color that could be hot pink but is probably orange but I wore them anyway.

Last night I went with a solid pair of corally colored leggings and a Randy. The Randy is definitely too short to be worn with leggings, especially a light solid colored legging. But it was only around the house. I wouldn't even have gone to get the mail in light colored leggings. But I was comfortable!

But even the sun sets in paradise....

I think it's Wednesday today. It's been such a long week that I don't even know. I slept really well, but I'm still tired. I think I need a three week long nap. I am so looking forward to going to Cali and getting away from real life for a few days. I need to get away. I've been living and breathing this system upgrade and so much depends on a successful transfer. Only a couple of days left to get all ready. Fingers crossed.

Last nights Lula was a pair of fuchsia colored leggings with a gray Irma. Super comfy to lounge around in.

Today I went with what I think is my new favorite piece, a Nicole dress. It's fitted and flattering and dressy, but still super comfortable. I paired it with a very bright Lindsay to bring a little spring into this semi-chilly day. The Nicole is a blue-teal with blue-gray flowers and then scattered roses that are the fluorescent-orangy-coraly color of the Lindsay. I'm doing a terrible job of describing the color, but it is so fun! I am so in love with Nicoles. I was super skeptical of them because I didn't think they would work with my body type. But they are so flattering. They even give me an illusion of a waist instead of an oversized beach ball. I see many more Nicoles in my future.

Leaving on a Southern train, only yesterday you lied

Okay, there is no longer a solid black LulaRoe shortage, and if any consultants tell you anything differently, they are lying! I've managed to pick up 7 pairs in the last 2 & 1/2 months.  And trust me, they are not the supremely wonderful thing you are expecting. If you are like me, with a little extra padding, you are better off in patterns! The solid colors show every lump and bump. And they fade pretty quickly, even hand-washed in cold water. Don't get me wrong, I love my Lula. I'm just saying don't buy a pair for $80 on eBay!

Today is our retiree potluck for the 6 people in our office who are retiring at the end of the month. I made a Greek salad that I did not expect to like. But it may have been the best salad I've ever made. Last night I made a small one to go with dinner, and it was so yummy!! I will be making it again.

I found the greatest nail polish in the universe. I got a bottle in my Ipsy and so I bought a couple more to see if they were just as fabulous. They are! The brand is called Dermelect. They go on smooth, they dry quickly, they last longer than other polishes I've tried. The only downfall is the price. But, you get what you pay for, right? If you spend $1.99 on polish, it will likely chip the next day. If you spend, um, more than that, you could get a week out of it. And the colors are great. This one is called Commando, and it's a perfect neutral color.

Today's Lula is hot pink and navy Classic topped with a sheer navy Lindsay. With jeans. Because it's potluck day:

And when the samba played, the sun would set so high

It's Monday again. I had a pretty good weekend, but I did not get nearly as much work done as I wanted to. This week I will be insanely busy. I made chili yesterday, and apparently a breakfast, lunch and dinner of chili is just too much for my stomach to handle. It was delicious, but today my stomach is just icky feeling.

Dinner and a movie at ZammyZou's was really good. He made an ice cream batter french toast (yum!) and we watched a movie called "Happiness" from like 1998. It was a morbidly wonderful movie. And it was so nice to see C-C-W, I haven't seen her in like forever.

And the Vikings won! Skol! I may or may not have fallen asleep in the 3rd quarter. I was so tired! That was just a quick 20 minute nap, so after the game I slept for another hour and a half. And guess what happened last night? No sleep! I'm brilliant sometimes! And today I am so freaking tired!

Today's Lula is a solid red Carly and a charcoal gray Lindsay paired with black boots:

My Lula for Friday at ZammyZou's was a purple Irma and some amazing new purple and white leggings:

Shopping on Saturday was a lavender with mint sleeves Irma and leggings:

And finally, my Friday night pajamas was a long sleeve t-shirt from Old Navy (that I wear a lot) with one of my most favorite pairs of leggings:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqIIW7nxBgc

She drank so hard the bottle ached.....

FRIDAY!!! Yay!! I've been waiting for Friday all week. Tonight is a mini-GGCASFO reunion at ZammyZou's. I haven't seen him or Lena in months! And I haven't seen C-C-W since June. I need friend time!

I am so in love with Amazon! The restaurant delivery is AMAZING! I can order dinner from a restaurant with my phone and have it delivered in less than hour! With no delivery charge! This is like the greatest thing ever! And no, I am not getting paid for saying that. I have ordered from both Famous Daves and La Casita. The fried ice cream was still super frozen when the food arrived.

Also, yesterday around 9 am I finally decided what I wanted/needed to do with my closet. So I went on Amazon and found the things I needed with free Prime same day delivery. How can you beat that? The products showed up at my house last night, and I'm all set for my closet makeover. I sort of want to marry Amazon.

Last nights Lula was a cream colored Irma with gray sleeves and leggings.

Today I am doing a lavender colored Classic T with jeans. I banded the Classic in the back to make it a bit shorter. I love the color, but it is too short to wear with leggings. But perfect with jeans!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opP1T5dxh90

Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time....

It's almost Friday!! I went to Target last night and spent eleventy-million dollars. I don't know why Target has that effect on me, it makes me want things I have no use for and definitely don't need. I hate Target. But I love Target so very much. But I hate Target. And so on and so forth.

Tonight I need to color away the gray hairs and maybe add bangs back. I miss them. I'm in the awkward stage where they are too long to be bangs but too short to not be bangs.

Tomorrow night I'm having dinner with ZammyZou, Lena and C-C-W. Not sure who else will be there, but I'm looking forward to seeing my friends.

Todays Lula is a polka dot Perfect paired with jeans with a Wish app sweater.  Because it's almost Friday!

One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me

I went to bed pretty early last night and slept just fine, but I'm still a little tired. Nothing that more coffee won't fix. Yesterday I went on an eBay binge and bought 1700 things that I absolutely NEED. Like a new Bare Minerals eye shadow brush. Total need! And I found the discontinued Mary Kay Velocity eye shadow that I love. So I got 2 of them. And then there's the Lula....I got the Princess a Nightmare Before Christmas Irma for Christmas. And some leggings. I got CH an Irma and leggings. And I got myself a couple things. But at least some of it was for presents.

I wanted to throw on jeans today, but then I remembered that I have a market guy coming in so I got semi-dressed. Not dressed up, just not jeans. Tonight I'm going to Target. I haven't been there in nearly a week!!

Today's Lula is an Irma with a purple background with black, hot pink and teal, paired with a pair of black ankle pants and a hot pink cropped sweater from Chicos.

It's always a good day for a little Coldplay:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvgZkm1xWPE

Dani the girl is singing songs to me beneath the marquee.....

It's Tuesday! I went to sleep last night at 7:45 and slept through the night. It was wonderful! I started watching a show called Aquarius about Charles Manson. But I could not even stay awake to finish the first episode. There's only 2 seasons, so I think I will start it over and watch it all. The whole Manson Family thing fascinates me.

Last night I made fried Spam for dinner. I haven't had that in like a million years. It was pretty okay, especially since I love salt so much.

Today's Lula is a solid cream Perfect and leggings with a sweater from Target. I chose this outfit today mostly because I wanted to wear the shoes, a super comfortable pair of Naturalizer's that don't really match very many outfits.

Burning bridges shore to shore......

What a great weekend! I have a new favorite Viking. I love love love Anthony Barr!! He is my new hero!!! Thank you, Mr. Barr! You have given Vikings a fighting chance this season. I felt a teensy bit bad celebrating Rodgers getting hurt, but then I remembered that he gets paid no matter what. And when I broke my arm, I got Ibuprofen. He is going to get all the best pain meds. He'll have no pain AND a paycheck. And he's still making more money than people who work 50 times as hard. So I think I'm okay with my being happy he's out.

The rest of my weekend was pretty good. I got 95% of the work I brought home done. Today I'm going to focus on sorting through some of the paperwork that got left behind. I'd like to downsize the amount of paper sitting on my desk.

CH said she can go to CA, so I want to book our trip this week. I'm super excited to see the Princess. I hope she's doing okay out there. I miss her!

Today's Lula is a purple (SKOL!) Perfect with leggings.

Friday I went home and put on a Randy and leggings. Randy's are not my most favorite. I need to size up 2 sizes to make them work with leggings. But I love this black, white and pink striped one with a pair of leggings.

And then Saturday I thought I'd stay with the striped Randy theme to go out shopping. Black and grayish-white striped Randy, polka dot leggings and the super-versatile solid black Lindsay with black boots. Perfect Saturday outfit!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8eJh4i8Lo

We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage....

Friday!! Only a few hours left of this work week!! Although there is still the work to be done on Saturday (and possibly Sunday), but working on the couch in my pajamas is so much more relaxing than being in the office.

This should be a pretty good weekend, although that rests a lot on how the game Sunday goes. Am I a horrible person for wanting Aaron Rodgers to suffer a career-ending sack by one of our guys? He gets paid either way. He makes more than my annual salary each time he throws a pass. He'd be fine. Just not playing football anymore.

Todays Lula is a new Irma I got from a closeout sale. I love the colors so much!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1b8AhIsSYQ

And a whole lot of space to breathe in....

It's the day before Friday! I have so much work to get done today so I can spend some time tomorrow prepping the things I'm going to take home and do over the weekend. Sunday is the Vikings/Packers game and I wanted to go to Valley Fair on Saturday, so free time is going to be hard to come by. But the work must be done!

I talked to The Princesses' BFF and she may be able to go to Cali with me in December. That would be a super nice surprise for AlyOhh. Her mom and her bff!! I'm only going to be able to get away for a few days, but hopefully this spring I can go and spend more time there. I'm just way too busy right now to take a lot of time off work.

Super special shout-out to my co-worker JC who suggested the Waze app. It is a super amazing gps app. It's sent me new ways to work that I would have never thought would be faster. And it warns me about stalled vehicles and police guys. I love it so so so much!! Thank you, JC.

Todays Lula is a solid green Perfect Tee and leggings with a pair of boots.

Last nights Lula-jammies were a turquoise way over-sized turquoise Irma and a pair of snakeskin print leggings. Super comfy outfit to wear to bed.

And finally, I've been back to hitting the treadmill. And what could make the treadmill more tolerable than a pair of LulaRoe Americana leggings?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyhMgXmR3w4

Because tomorrow might be good for something.....

Wednesday! Last night the dentist went pretty fast, I think I was in and out in 25 minutes. I left with a numb mouth and $90 lighter. I really hate giving the dentist money, but I really like having teeth so I guess it's a trade-off I have to take.

I also FINALLY stopped and got my hair trimmed. I've been putting it off for about 2 weeks. And I had enough Fantastic Sams stamps to get it done free. I love free. Although I was obligated to tip $10 because the stylist said I had nice hair. Note- if you tell me I have nice hair, you get a bigger tip. I think I'm going to grow out the bangs. At least for now. I can always trim them later.

I'm hopefully planning a trip to CA for a long weekend in November or December. I miss the Princess and could use a couple days away. The only thing stopping me is money and my workload. But I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Todays Lula is an AMAZING Irma and leggings. It doesn't look super amazing in the pictures, but trust me! It's phenomenal. It looks solid gray, but up super close it's space dyed with light flecks of turquoise and pink. The photo doesn't capture the awesomeness. And these leggings!! I love this outfit so much!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WziA88-n02k

And just like that all my walls come down.....

Tuesday....I'm super tired. But it was totally worth staying up for to get the W. We would never have won if it weren't for our defense. I think my next jersey is Harrison Smith!

Dentist appointment tonight. One of my fillings cracked, so I need to get it fixed. One of my favorite things to do is write a check to the dentist for $192 million dollars.

I found a Lula seller on facebook who was going out of business and selling everything for 60% off. I felt semi-obligated to buy a couple things. So I'm going to try my first Azure skirt and Nicole dress. I guess even if I don't like them, they were practically free. But I've loved every piece I've tried so far, so I'm hopeful.

Todays Lula is a pair of black leggings with blue polka dots, a blue Perfect and I threw a solid black Lindsay over top so make the outfit look a little less like pajamas. Even if it does look like pj's, I'm super comfortable!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWl7WjAtBME

And yeah I know, you thought you had bigger, better things....

Another Monday....my weekend was good. Saturday night I went to a drive in. I didn't even know that any still existed. It was a triple feature. For $8.50!! But the first movie was the Lego Ninjago movie. It was kind of cute, but I'd never set out to watch it purposely. Second was Kingsman: The Golden Circle. It wasn't terrible. Finally the movie we sought out to see, It. It was very good. The only real issue is that 3 movies last over 6 hours. So I didn't get to bed until after 3:30. That's a pretty late night for me. But I still got up at 9 and worked for 4 hours.

Friday I left work a bit early and went home and put on my lulajamas and worked on the couch for a few hours. I got so much done! For real!!

Fridays Lula was a pair of mauve polka dot leggings and a shirt I think I got at Macy's.

Todays Lula is the perfect colored Carly for Fall with a mustard colored Lindsay. I had to buy the Carly because the seller was only selling a pair of black leggings with the Carly. And obviously I needed the solid black leggings. I got the Lindsay from eBay for about 1/2 price of buying it new. I've been looking for this color and this is the first one I saw. I knotted the Lindsay and paired the outfit with black suede boots.

I was also able to snag another pair of solid black leggings that I'm going to give to C-C-W. I've purchased 4 pairs in the last 2 months, so they are no longer a rarity. LulaRoe must have made some changes to try and keep people happy. Especially with all the negative changes on the consultant side. Or so I've heard. I'm not a consultant, just a shopper/addict.

And so we're told this is the golden age....

It's Friday, which seems like a good day for a little U2. Of course every day is a good day for U2.  I'm so glad the week is nearly over. Even if I will be working some this weekend. At least it will be on my couch. I have so many commissions to process. Hopefully once we get the new system up and running (Oct 30) commissions will be easier. I hope it all works like it's supposed to!

Nothing on the agenda for the weekend except work. And then some more work. I finished season 7 of The Walking Dead, and I'm so disappointed there's not more yet.

Last nights Lula was a fabulous pair of leggings I got from Cherie. I just love her, she is the absolutel sweetest person ever! I paired them with a long sleeve tee from Old Navy. I love this combo!

Today is Friday, so jeans and a Perfect. It's red and navy and just about every other color. It's kind of fun. And perfect with jeans!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdLuk2Agamk

If you don't feel complete, if I don't take you all of the way, go....

I think today is Thursday, but this whole week has been just a crazy busy blur. Every time I think I may be getting close to caught up, something else happens. Eventually I will get this all figured out and get it all balanced. Until then.....

At least tomorrow is Friday! And that means a weekend is coming up. A weekend of laundry, cleaning and maybe even some extra rest.

Last nights Lula was a pair of navy and gold leggings that I got for free with a purchase and my Jungle Book T-shirt from when I stage managed the show. I would never have chosen this pair, but they are fun and super comfy for pajamas. And they were free.

Todays Lula is a forest green Cassie with a tank top I got from Maurices and a sweater I got from CJ Banks with a pair of tall khaki boots. I'm so happy it's boot season!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtLpZWNyM0I

And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know.......

It's only Wednesday.....So far it has been the longest week ever. I'm so emotionally drained. I've been going to bed early and sleeping fine, but I'm still so tired. Last night I had another dream that I went back to high school to try to improve my grades. This is like the 10th time I've dreamed that. But I graduated with honors, so not sure my grades needed much improvement. So strange!

I really, really need to get my hair trimmed. The split ends are terrible. I could also use a pedicure. And I broke a nail this morning making coffee. Because I'm ultra talented like that.

Todays Lula is a turquoise Irma banded in the back and a pair of leggings. These are one of the very first pairs of leggings I ever bought.
