Technically my Friday

I actually made an effort to wear a nice outfit, blow dry my hair, AND put on makeup every day this week.  That includes wearing heels each day.  Something I'm pretty sure I haven't done consecutively since I moved to Chicago.

Flat out, I've been lazy.

Subconsciously, I actually feel better when I look better and put forth the effort.  Some days when I'm my most tired, I need to remember that.

I love this blouse... wish I had bought a couple when it was on sale.

On a side note, today is my Friday.  I took tomorrow off to run errands (oh, the joys of adulthood).  I'm hoping to get some things done as far as apt decorating and set up.  I saw this great idea on Ikea Hackers (if you don't know this site and love DIY - Check it out!).

Then I also saw this great idea to hack a bookshelf into a banquet for your dining room.  I have a huge wall space and would love to have somewhere to serve food from when I have a party.

So I will be heading to Ikea tomorrow to pick up some things - the list keeps growing. :)
