Crazy start

Posted on by Distracted Damsel

I dont know about you but so far January has been kind of crazy. Well I would say more bumpy than crazy. First two weeks I was off to a running start, nothing was going to get me down. Insert the bug that is going around. Everyone around me got sick with something. I managed to scrape by but have been busy looking after everyone. So busy that between work and that I havent been able to post.

I did have some me time in there this last weekend which catches me up on the crazy. I was entertaining a friend for five days. We took a quick but fateful trip down to Arizona. It was a very bumpy ride. The idea was to go down to Lake Havasu for the hot air balloon festival that I have been wanting to check out for years. I finally made the plans but the universe had different.

From starters, 15 miles to our half way point snow started coming down. Believe it or not it does snow in the desert and with my luck I found it. I am not a strong driver in the snow, it freaks me out. So white knuckling it for 15 miles to the first gas station I found was not fun. Snow is pretty but leave me at home for it. We didn’t get to the lake that night and ended stying in a really low budget motel but hey, we didn’t end up in a ditch.

The second part of the drive to the lake wasn’t great. My engine light came on. I figured it was a combination of things, the added weight, the elevation and the cold. So we stopped and checked at autozone and they said to google and answer. Epic fail. Had no choice but to drive it but it changed our plans. Didn’t risk the drive to the Grand Canyon after that. The sky was clear but the wind was insane.

Two days of a high wind advisory so we didn’t se any hot air balloons except a few that remained on the ground. So I guess the festival is still on my list. Anyway we came back to vegas, safe in the car other than the engine light and we did the tourist thing. It was fun but I have done it for so many friends that I kind of dont like living here. Tired and exhausted I hit the ground running Tuesday for work.

It’s Saturday. The day before my birthday. I have plans with my boyfriend tomorrow but today after the crazy of the last two weeks I am just going to relax. I hope that your January has been off to a good start. I know thru the last few weeks I have delayed some of my goals and plans but I am back on them. Full steam ahead! Let me know how things are going for you 🙂

Who is this woman?? Ill tell you. I am a young, mid thirties, single woman from the quaint small town of Las Vegas NV. I have a love for home design, an addiction to self improvement, and a passion for helping others. I believe a sense of humor and a wealth of understanding will get you thru anything. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not knowing who you want to be when you grow up as long as you are taking steps that make you happy. This blog is the start of my business. I offer in home color consultations in the Las Vegas area, to those who cannot choose between beige or gray, for those that want a pop of color accent wall, or those contractors who can do any project but need someone to choose the colors. I also create inspiring color palette that can be used in any home or office. Palettes are created by things in my everyday life. An event, a new friend or even a topic challenge can give me something to write about. I am not just a design blogger but a lifestyle blogger. I dont know where my road ends but on the journey, I am trying new recipes, planning new activities, and booking as many trips for fun as I can. Fun must be had where ever it can be found to get thru this messy thing we call life. I hope that I can inspire and entertain others like me while I make this journey from 9 to 5 to successful business owner!
