At 3 o’clock on Wednesday morning, I received an email telling me that the official launch of Kate Spade Saturday was happening. Lucky for me I have a baby who still insists on latching onto the boob promptly at 3:15 am everyday, so I was awake to see the announcement. Thank goodness for that! I jumped on my phone to order the one thing I have been daydreaming about since the brand did a sneak peek launch on Fab earlier in the month, and promptly sold out of; this iPhone case. When I went to buy the case however, I noticed that it was in fact for an iPhone 5 and I woke my husband with my loud wail of “NO!!!!” Since I’m not due for a new phone upgrade for well over a year, I feel it’s somewhat pointless to buy a $25 phone case to hold onto, knowing that by then Apple would have already launched the next phone. So I continue to daydream about Young MC and my favorite song from high school, bumping along in my Isuzu iMark.
The brand is a spinoff (duh, goes without saying Andrea), and the prices seem to be much more budget friendly than their normal $500 dresses. There’s plenty I love but I’ll hold off on making any commitments until I can hopefully see some of the items in person and try them on. Those cotton type fabrics in bold graphics can sometimes be tough to pull off if you’re not rail thin.
In other news, I’ve decided to get a jump on one of my Life List items, to read the Bible, and have started to watch the History Channel’s documentary. I’m kidding! About counting watching the Bible as reading it, not kidding about actually watching it. So far it is amazing and we’re hooked. I am in fact starting a Beth Moore series though, to help with the Bible reading thing. I know people have very polarizing opinions of her, but I figure I’ll try it out, since I really need to start somewhere. I’m really feeling that in order to grow into the next step in my faith, I have to read and understand His word, and what better way to do that but to study it? Bible studies at this point in my life scare me so for now I’m staying away. I’m excited to get started on it though. It’s the Living Beyond Yourself:Exploring The Fruit Of The Spirit series. Anyone completed it?
I wrote lots of emails asking for stuff for Craft Cabinet this week. I feel like a salesperson again. Thank you for those that have already pitched in. We have lots more work to do still and Jules and I will continue to hustle through the weekend before we put tickets on sale next week (squeeeeallll!) Sorry I actually hate that squealing thing that some people do, just felt it was somewhat necessary here. The Craft Cabinet is very squeal worthy in my book.
Lastly, before I bore you all to death with this very random post, I did some writing for some other places, and here are my favorite pieces, because they involve Hayden, and motherhood, and losing valuable makeup products underneath my car at a stoplight. Go read them if you have a chance, if anything you’ll laugh at how much of a mess I am and feel better about yourself!
– 6 Months Already?!? Slow Down Already Time, You Bastard! (the bastard part was not in the Disney title, they would frown upon that)
– Lessons From Motherhood, or Why You Shouldn’t Try To Put Your Makeup On In the Car.
Have a great weekend everyone!! And don’t forget about the Hustling Giveaway!
They have that case on the site for the 4 an 4S too!!!!
Well no one ever said I was overly detail oriented :-/ Totally missed that if you scroll down, they sell them in the 4 and 4S. Thank you ma’am! Already ordered
Dang! I wanted to be the hero and tell you the big iphone 4 news! Rats!
My recommendation for Bible Reading is the free app: YouVersion. You can read it in any format and you can look things up so easily by book, chapter, and verse. That will help with your Beth Moore study (I found the flipping all over the Bible to be the most tedious part of her study so this would solve that issue). Also, I highly recommend reading The Message version…some people think it doesn’t count, but I’ve read the NIV and didn’t understand nearly enough of it to have sunk in. The MSG is in everyday terms and helped me to understand what I was reading. Just my thoughts on the matter. Good luck!
I loved this post! It’s been a long time since you’ve just written what’s on your mind, – one of my fave things about your blog in the very beginning.
Keep us posted on the BM study. My sister loooooves her, but I don’t have any experience with her studies either way.
WANT!
Hello! I love Beth Moore!! I am just starting my fourth study with her. The Fruit of the Spirit is awesome and I just started the Esther study — loving it! 🙂

This site seems to get a large ammount of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It gives a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something real or substantial to talk about is the most important factor. Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale http://www.magicboxindia.com/bulksms/Nike-NFL-Jerseys-Wholesale.asp
