Things for Travel and a few thoughts

I've been the worst at blogging lately. My job is so busy at the moment that when I get home all I want to do is flop. Ever have those days/weeks when the washing just keeps piling up, the house never feels organised and clean and the more I have on my to do list the less I will actually accomplish? That's been my last few weeks. But... I'm not going to let the little things get to me and to just count my blessings each day.

It's a long weekend this weekend (Thank you Queen Elizabeth) and Jason is off on another work conference. I'm going to try and catch up on a few things but also do some things I love without feeling guilty.

Because it has been long a hard week (weeks really), I went shopping in my lunch time yesterday. They are items for my trip so they are allowed in my budget :) 

I bought some TOMS ballet flats. I was tossing up between this pair and another pair but I figured these would go with most things. I have read reviews saying they aren't as comfortable as the original shoes but they still felt alright to me. Plus I will wear them now to break them in. I still do need a sneaker/running shoe that will be good for lots of walking but still stylish.

And I bought that Sportsgirl bag I mentioned in my last post that will be a great travel bag. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I aim to write some letters, work on my journal with Jasmine, make some friendship bracelets, play around with my typewriter...just get back into being creative.
