The weekend in Ann Arbor was great. We scored the most amazing $37 mirror ever and a mountain of my favorite Afternoon Delight bran muffins – which will be devoured one half at a time over the next few months.
I also have exactly 19 mosquito bites on my left foot, which makes me fond of staying indoors until the bites subside. I fear my swollen foot might freak out unsuspecting strangers with active imaginations.
Since there is much to do now that we’re back home, staying inside will not be a problem. There are work projects to complete, decorating updates to make, and Business in the City on Wednesday.
PS – If you are curious about what a ‘regular’ workday looks like for me, hop on over to my new friend Jessica’s site, So How Was Your Day? I detail a day that included client sessions, my favorite summer TV show, an inordinate amount of cheese, and three tips for setting your mind in the morning.
Man. I was in Chicago last weekend, and you were nearby in Ann Arbor this weekend. It would make my day to meet THE Jess Lively one of these days 😉
Well, by all means! I hope you can make it to a workshop or Biz in the City sometime. : )
Saturday was one of the best days, possibly ever… lunch and wine tasting at my favorite local vineyard with my love and my Gramma, then a crazy party night (which is rare) with some of my very best friends. Just perfect.
That does sound perfect! I’m glad you had such a great weekend, Erin!
I’m also covered in mosquito bites and slowly going INSANE trying not to stratch them. Best of luck!
I feel you! I don’t have bug bite cooling gel or anything, personally. But I’ve found aloe vera (which I stash in the fridge) is doing a good job cooling them off!
Pick up a stick of After Bite from your local drugstore. The stuff works wonders and those pesky bites will disappear before your eyes. Bonus it’s under $5!
Thank you so much, Jessica! I am going to see if Mr. Lively can pick some up for me on his way home. : ) I have never heard of it before but I’m totally hoping it helps!
Good luck! It saved my legs after being attacked during a weekend in the mountains, just in time for a friend’s spring wedding.
Hey Jess, what a lovely feature. Try not to itch those bug bites!
Thanks, Dervla! I am doing my best! So far I haven’t been itching them, but I needed to drop my morning run (with shoes and socks that itched them) in favor of lifting weights in flip flops.
Nice! And thanks for the bite thoughts. I am hoping the go away soon with Jessica’s recommended After Bite.
i really enjoyed learning about your work day. thanks for sharing!
That’s great to hear! It changes everyday, but that was a pretty “normal” one. : )
