Happy Monday!

Oh Monday, you always come too fast after a great weekend. I am happy to start this week and I woke up at 5:30 ready to start my day! (I know, crazy! but I take a long time to get ready!)

5 Things for Monday
1. There is a TORNADO WATCH for OCEAN COUNTY today! From just watching the wind whip the trees around outside- I am afraid of going outside today!
2. I think it's finally time for me to give up the search on the 3.1 Philip Lim for Target Tote with Gusset in Black. I have been to FOUR different Target's in the area and to no avil there are none to be found. It's such a pretty bag.  As much as I would love to add this to my collection, It just isn't going to happen.

1.

 It's just a pretty bag that I am in Love with. It is as elusive as trying to find a boyfriend in my case.
3. Being a Maid of Honor, for Biff's wedding is kinda really important, I am starting to realize real quick, as I mentioned in other posts (LIST POSTS) It's funny, I feel as if I would be the last person to pick for this job. I'm organized but this is someone's wedding! I will keep you updated on it.
4.I need to fix my printer that has been out of serivce since maybe the beinning of the Summer! There are so many cute outfits I find from my fellow bloggers that I would love to print out and put into my look book but I just can't.
5. Lux hit 300 miles over the weekend! Yes I did just get Lux 11 days ago and I have been driving non stop it feels but its so darn comfortable to drive how could i resist. ( I got Lux with 28 miles on it.)

What I am Reading:
 Currently I have been reading Quiet Influence by Jennifer Kahnweiler PhD. I thought it would be intersting learning how introverts can be effective in mangement positions. I typically relate to more introverts than extroverts just because i need time to recharge my batteries after being with a large group of people for a long amount of time and for other reasons too. I've only just started reading it and it seems it will keep my attention for a bit.

Noteable quote:
     " I believe with all my heart, that if you treat little things like they are big things, the mundane thlike they are all the miraculous, the tiny detail like they are the big picture, your life will be infinitely better. Start slow and try it. Notice more, See more, Appriciate more. You will find out. " Tyler Knott on Instagram today..

Does anyone have exciting plans for this week?

Oh Monday......This is my first full week (aka working 5 days in a row) since the end of JUNE!! This might be a little tough for me! 

Five Things That Happened Today:

1. On my drive home, I saw trees starting to turn from green to a pretty burnt orange.
2.  I got my butt to the gym after work which wasn't as terrible as I thought and The October Issue of Architectural Digest was waiting for me(as usual). I am quite excited that I get to relax for the rest of my night.
3.  B and I went on a walk on lunch today and we observed a lot of things which included: Jurors on lunch break, a beautiful retention wall that was made out of these pretty blocks in front of a house (but unfortunately it didn't match the house itself)
4. It flew by due to the sheer volume of people that came into our office today. I swear I looked at the clock at 8:35 and then I blinked and it was 11:50. I love these kind of days 
5.  It actually felt like fall today- the air was nice and crisp this morning and then on my afternoon walk with B, it was nice and cool, no humidity which made me happy. 

What I am Reading Currently:
  On my night stand is a smorgasboard of books that i got from the library last week:

•  Pinterest Power
• Going Social
• Huffington Post Blogging
• Finerman's Rules
• HTML
• Socialomics 

Each night I try to read a chapter here and a chapter there in what ever books look good to me that evening.

What I am Watching:
   Cops on Spike TV. I don't watch a lot of tv, yet whenever there is a Cops marathon on, I have to put it on, even for background noise. I think I've seen most of these episodes, since they re run them at ad nauseum. My favorites are the Jersey Cops, just because.
 

Notable Quote for Today:

Work hard in Silence, Let your success be your noise.-Frank Ocean

Ps. The reason for the title is that my parents and I tend to hold on to things for probably way too long (ie. We have never moved, our cars are 5+ years older but in amazing condition, clothes, etc) and my dad has been toying around with getting a new truck and for a long time, I've been feeling over my car. It was cute at the time but now at 25, I'm over it. I would like something a little more grown up. My parents and I, over dinner talked about this rut  we get stuck in and we are going to work to try to figure out if we can REFRESH our lives and maybe switch things up and get a new car. Food for thought I guess.
