I woke up late and on the wrong side of the bed this morning. (Even though I never really understood how that was possible…but if it is, I’m pretty sure I did it this morning.) At this moment I am the definition of grumpy and tired.
I’ve decided to take a quick trip to the carnival to jump start my un-grumpy-ness. A big thanks to Lovely Clusters for her post on Monday. It made this trip a lot easier than it normally would’ve been.
Here’s Hopin that worked to help turn my grumpy into un-grumpy.
What do you do when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

I think every girl (and any decent guy) knows a thing or two about the world of fashion. Even if it’s the basic color wheel, there’s a bit of a Fashion Hat sitting in all of our closets. I think it all started with dressing Barbie (and making sure GI Joe still looked good enough to catch Barbie’s eye for you fellas reading this). Regardless of how it started, here’s your chance to play Barbie dress up again, in a more grown-up sort of way of course.
A month ago my friend Shauna of Mackenzie Image Consulting tapped me into a little secret: Couturious. And let me tell you – this little secret of her’s has turned into a bit of an addiction for me. I’ve literally caught myself on the site for hours creating outfits, looking through and hearting other outfits, coming up with certain things to wear for certain places. I had forgotten how much fun putting on your Fashion Hat and playing Stylist can be!
You can pick the model (I’m a bit partial to the red head, go figure), the back drop, the shoes, the clothes, the bags, the accessories – all of it. So addicting and so much fun. As you can see, I’m not the most high powered fashion kind of gal but I do love having that kind of virtual closet at my disposal.
So when you have a little spare time, put on your Fashion Hat, set up an account at Couturious.com (add me! TheSSMOnline) and give your inner stylist a work out session. But you might want to set an alarm or wait till you get home, I’d hate for you to get carried away in the middle of the day…..

Pardon the site while a few changes and upgrades are being made this week. Notice things may be a tad bit off – i.e. subscription emails going out incredibly late? Well, that’s being work on day and [very] late into the night. I didn’t want to take a whole week off of blogging so I’m trying to make tiny adjustments here and there…..before the curtain’s pulled back next Tuesday ;)
Thank you for being so patient and I promise things will be back to normal — as normal as they get around here, that it is — very soon!

I’d buy a new dress.
(After I payed off a few bills, of course.) But the first thing I’d go out and buy for myself as a I gift would simply be… a new dress.
The question was posed to me last night by my Sista Sista who out of the blue asked: If I had a big bonus check, or I won a piece of the lottery, got my book deal signed, anything that sent a large sum of money my way……what would be the first thing I would buy for myself?
Some would go for a certain piece of jewelry (i.e. Jess bought herself a fabulous Tiffany’s ring with her first big bonus), others a work of art or a fantastic pair of Manolos, but first thing that comes to my mind anytime I have loose change is to go buy a new dress. A new dress has always seemed to be my personal reward, no matter what the circumstances. Finals over? Head to the square to see Theresa and find a new dress. Somehow managed to cross everything off my to-do list or square away that huge property package? I hit Tanger Outlets on my lunch break. So to me it only makes sense to stick to my rewards system and go from there.
So how about you, what would be the first realistic thing you would purchase if a lump sum, a Big Check, happened to make it your way?
–
Honestly, if my Big Check were big enough, I might break down and spoil myself with an Hermes Birkin.
*but only if it matched my new dress, of course.
