Monday blues

Oooo mama I get the Monday blues like no other! I never get anything accomplished.

Something tells me that Sunday Funday may be the leading contributor to the Monday blues.

(Sunday Funday sidenote- I once saw a guy dressed as a Sunday Funday superhero. Zebra leggings and a red and white baseball shirt with "Sunday Funday" written on the front and "How do you feel on Monday?" written on the back. I believe colorfully- fringed arm warmers and obnoxious sunglasses were also involved.)

I have decided to make a list of Monday activities to make the blues less awful.

1. Go to Tiffany's and try on engagement rings with bestie.

Tell the people that one of you is going ring shopping with the other's 

boyfriend and you guys are doing research! 

Amusing nail polish recommended.

2. Put on a knee length black skirt. Go to Saks, Barney's, 

Nordstrom Salon Shoes, or any other expensive shoe department. 

Try on Louboutins,YSLs, Jimmy Choos, and more!

Requires fresh pedicure. 

If you're lucky you will find a handsome and flirtatious shoe guy. 

3. 80's. Workout. Video.

Leg warmers REQUIRED.

4. Procure/ locate a tutu to your liking.

Wear tutu and pearls to sweep and vacuum your apartment!

I like this rainbow one, available on Etsy.

Holiday Weekend Anxiety Relief

Holiday weekends freak me out, man. 

So much pressure to HAVE FUN and do lots of RELAXING. I always end up not 
making any plans and then having a few too many afternoon cocktails. Ooops! 
Then may-jah school night blahs the night before it's time to go back to work. 
So! I have channeled my nervous energy into creating the perfect 
Memorial Day evening playlist.
