This is real life.

And it's messy at times. It's complicated. It's ugly and it's freakin' gorgeous.

But let me tell you about what's going on now.

First off, I had a very unique week!  I spent a few days in Liverpool, NY, helping a sister studio.  That felt ah-mazing!  I got to see things with fresh eyes, offer assistance, and get to know and meet some really awesome people.  I just feel super blessed that this IS my real life.

I sewed some more glove deodorizers/moisture wickers; I made some rice packs that can be heated up or frozen, depending on what one needs for their muscle aches.  I had quiet time to myself which feels very vital to my well-being.  I started a novel that rings very close to home when it comes to my personal life, so part of me wants to scrap it...but the other part of me is stubborn and wants to forge on through.

I ate and drank well!  As in, I let loose a bit this week and just enjoyed my life.  When in Rome, ya know?  I don't want to get too skinny now, do I?

I also got a copy of the proposed Separation Agreement drafted by my husband's attorneys and hilarious, he doesn't believe I'm entitled to my fair share of the equity in the home I purchased with him, prior to our marriage.


And then, I had a bridal show today where I got to mix with brides, grooms, the families of these peeps, as well as their wedding parties.  Which was really nice!  But - hold up - I have to post this picture again...


Because it's just ironic that I just get a copy of a silly settlement offer today and then had to turn around and be surrounded by happy people who are getting married in the near future.  I honestly can't help but laugh at the absurdity that life can be sometimes.  But I enjoyed myself, truly.  I got to spend time outside of the studio with my assistant manager and watch her shine and I got to shake peoples' hands and connect.

This girl needs a cocktail and a foot massage.

And I'm getting one of those around 6 tonight.  You can guess which one :)
