My motivation to do anything right now is very low. As someone who is always working on a project or cooking up a scheme, feeling like this is the absolute worst. I know exactly what is making me feel this way. It descended upon me a few days ago, crumpled up my enthusiasm and threw it away. It has been replaced by The Sad. And The Sad sucks.
At least I’m wearing a cute outfit. I’m trying to dig items out of my closet and this vesty/shirty thing hasn’t seen the light of day for a couple years.

Black vesty/shirty/tie-waisted thing: Paper-Doll
Striped tank: made by me
Gray pants: F21
Bronze flats: Payless via my sister’s closet
Giant yellow rose ring: F21
My favorite part of my outfit is my necklace that says “Well behaved women rarely make history.” My mom got my sister and I matching ones for Christmas last year.
Here are some things making me happy today:
+ I have the day off tomorrow and am going to get my hair done. I’ve had it pulled back in a bun for two days and my roots are getting hella long.
+ Powder shampoo – totally works! I’m not a wash my hair every day kind of girl because it takes way too long to dry and straighten, and I want my color to last. I bought Grafix Spray Powder Shampoo. It’s great for when my hair starts looking a little oily, but I don’t want to or have the time to wash it. (I bought mine at Meijer)
+ Jimmy Johns for lunch. I amaze myself by how fast I can consume a sub.
+ Late night bike rides with Jenn and Teresa. It’s almost better than riding during the day, though I need to get a bike light asap so I don’t get run over. I’m also excited that I’m getting better at signaling because I used to be very off-balance when riding with just my right hand.
+ And…Bouncing Souls! Who I will not be seeing since I won’t be at Warped Tour tomorrow… ahh more sad :(
