Let’s be real, friends. I love Mondays, but this morning? I kind of just wanted to stay in bed and sleep. But when you have an almost-60-lb German Shepherd mix pup sitting on you (seriously- he plops down on my back) and whining for you to get up, sleeping in isn’t really an option anymore. But it’s for the best, because as amazing as our Tempur-Pedic bed is, my office and computer and inbox were calling!

Total aside: I LOVE this photo that the talented Amanda Hedgepeth took at Creative last week! Everyone got a new headshot on Day 2, and I just love how this turned out. Amanda is so talented!

Working from home means I often eat really strange meals. For example, my breakfast this morning consisted of mini sweet peppers, a glass of apple juice, and coffee. Why? Because I was too lazy to make eggs. Last Friday, I think I ate sauerkraut for breakfast, and I’m not even ashamed of it. That’s probably normal in Germany or something, right?

As always, lessons learned/events that transpired over the past week:

  • Wanna know a really good way to stress yourself out? Wait to book all your travel in Europe until less than two weeks before you leave. Thrill-seeker, right here!
  • In theory, the idea of driving from Marseille to Paris through the Loire Valley is a good idea, but when you take into account the fact that the high-speed train, the TGV, can get you there in less than half the time, without having to navigate yourself? You decide to take the train instead.
  • Can someone please explain to me why it costs more than $1,000 to get to pretty much anywhere in Europe, and yet I only paid $50 (yes, FIFTY) to get from Rome to Marseille? God bless easyJet and Ryan Air!
  • Last week was the best week ever. More on that in a couple day with a full recap of the Creative At Heart Conference!
  • Know what’s dangerous? Giving me a PaperSource gift card for my birthday. My little brother Seth did just that, and I spent foEVA hemming & hawing over this Kate Spade desk accessory or that one. I need all of them!!

Oh hey there, ridiculously attractive couple. Prepare to meet Lee & Danielle later this week- their Blacksburg sunrise engagement session was SO lovely!
