What to do in my free time…

(And by “free time,” of course I’m eluding to the hour I have after Abby goes to bed and when I go to bed every night.)
So, Summer’s nearly half over. Go ahead and punch me in the e-face for saying that. I just did. Regardless, this means a few things:
- BlogHer is less than a month away and I haven’t ordered business cards yet, procured an outfit fit for SparkleCorn or had my third mental break about how HOLY CRAP IT’S LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE I SEE ALL MY FAVORITE BLOGGY FRIENDS.
- I haven’t gotten ANYTHING done on the house that I was hoping to. (This includes but is not limited to painting our bedroom & putting up curtains or painting the exterior of the house. Or planting flowers. Or getting rid of that damn dog kennel.)
- It finally just got nice out. And summer is almost over. (Go ahead and punch me again.)
Anyway, since I clearly have nothing else to do-slash-worry about, I’ve decided to add a few other endeavors to my never-ending to-do list. Two of which I don’t want to talk about yet lest I jinx myself and then they don’t happen because I’m SUPER excited about both of them (stay tuned). HOWEVER, the one I can talk about is this:
I plan on creating a LADYCAVE in my attic space.
No, that was not innuendo. As much as it sounded like it was. Maybe we should just pretend it was innuendo because it’s funnier that way.
Right now we have a full finished atticspace that is currently functioning as a spare bedroom/dumping ground for old baby clothes & gear/dumping ground for my purses, doll collection…
Okay – it’s just a dumping ground with a bed, desk & dressers that is totally not working for me.
I really want to create a space where I can disappear to if I need to write a blog post, or load picture to the laptop from the camera, or just relax for some “alone” time. In 18 years when Abby’s out of the house. Hopefully.
SO. I’ve armed myself with a new subscription to House Beautiful magazine and a new pinboard on Pinterest, titled LadyCave.
I’m super serious about making this happen. Well, as serious as I am about painting our bedroom and getting rid of that dog kennel. BUT I’M FOR SERIOUS. I will make this change happen. I’m sure IKEA will be my muse.
Anyone see anything awesome I need to pin? Let me know.
(oh, and a post with pictures from the weekend and one of the new ink to come. PROMISE.)
Whoa. I dropped off the face of the earth.

But now I’m back. Sorry about the crazy hiatus. Alas, it is summer and I tend to lose track of things, like the fact that it’s been 11 days since I posted. WHOOPS. Fear not, dear internets. I have ideas up my sleevies.
Speaking of sleeves (sort of) – I’m getting a little bit of fresh ink this evening. Just a couple of bees to buzz around my flowers. I’ll post some pictures soon, and then do a little photo catch-up of where I’ve been since we last typed/read.
Later skater.
Hey, hey, hey! I’m at BlogHer today!

I’m so effing excited dudes –
I have a post over at BlogHer today about Summer TV. If anything, please visit and take a look, if only to drool over the picture of Alex Skarsgard. (That’s mostly what I’ve been doing.)
Mama had a night out.

Last Saturday night, my mother-in-law was kind enough to have Abby stay overnight so I could go out one night for adult beverages and some much needed time with my lady friends. We had so much fun, and I had my first hangover in a REALLY long time the next day. (McDonalds helped.)
We had sushi and then headed to a bar called Cafeteria in Uptown. It was much douchier than I had imagined, but we made the best of it. And then I posed on a diaper station.
This is what 2 glasses of champange and 3 beers will do to me.
