Kinda Everything: Daily Life + Design

I don’t know how many of you commute for work, but this week I’ve been doing a full-on traffic marathon: 2 hours there and 2 hours back. Every. Single. Day. So yes, I am beyond thrilled it’s finally Friday.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the chaos stops here. The weekend lineup is basically: Adulting Non-stop. I’ve got an oil change to schedule, floors that desperately need a deep clean, and a whole collection of holiday rugs that have been hiding out in the garage (and I’m pretty sure my fiancé is done looking at them).

Then there’s the grand finale: tackling the upstairs workout-slash-cat room and the downstairs guest room. Those spaces have big “close the door and pretend it doesn’t exist” energy, but the time has come.

This weekend’s wish list: get my hands dirty in the garden and finally set up the patio. I’m really hoping my zinnias decide to show off—almost all of them have buds, but still no blooms. I’m also dying to test a new self tanner that claims it works in 10 minutes. We’ll see about that! And of course, I’ve got the baking itch. Too much Martha Stewart TV has me craving homemade desserts. I’m thinking something easy like crème brûlée—mainly because I want an excuse to use my kitchen torch. We’ll see how much energy weekend-me actually has, but for now I am going to relax and enjoy my Friday evening and hope you do too!
