Today I am longing for….

Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and sad.

Feeling “mental” despite the perfect weather.

I’d love to take off for the Sequoias today.

Brent working in our “wt” pop-up trailer with Simpler Times, Starbucks, a soda, and a McDonald’s cup.  Ahhh the contradictions.

I’ve never claimed to be perfect.

Instead of running away, I read Picking their Own Fruit from one of my FAVORITE blogs of all time Stuff White People Like and got a good laugh. It’s one of two blogs that after I found it (while searching for the perfect peacoat) I read the ENTIRE thing in two days. Warning: If you don’t like satire you might find it offensive.

(Sigh)

Instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for myself, I think I’ll put on a padded bra and an A-line dress.

Then I’ll go pick up my veggies from the CSA and try to be grateful for all the blessings I do have in my life.

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

About jennincat

I'm so happy you stopped by my little corner of the web where I write about fitness, food, and amazing women I "meet". I live in California with my wonderful husband and two rambunctious boys. I'm a personal trainer and dreamer. I enjoy most things but some of my favorites are reading, acting, camping, cooking, music, writing, traveling, and being in the moment with my favorite people! You can read more about me here! I hope you stop by often!

    LOVE the wt pop-up! We’re camper fanatics (only rented one to drive across country) so when there was a tiny pop-up for sale in our neighborhood I RAN to go see it. I actually said YES and the hubby thought not such a good idea (not AS good an idea in the rainy northwest). I was in shock! So no trailer for us…..yet.

    Feel better. I get where you’re coming from.

    Aww :-( When I left you last you were so happy! Perhaps you need more Kettlebells and smoothies with your buddy to the south.

    I checked out the blog- it’s pretty hilarious, especially since half the commenters are all offended, like DUH! what did you expect? Also funny: on the Google ads at the bottom of one post was Blogs for Blacks. hee hee. classic.

    Feel better.

    Isn’t it amazing what a padded bra can do for one’s state of mind?

    Oh how I long to be in the Colorado sunshine with a tall cup of coffee. However, next time I feel these longings, I’ll try the A-line dress and padded bra plan.
    Hugs. :)
