Just a Mess of a Week

I honestly don't think I've been this excited for the weekend to come in a looong time. The saying 'when it rains it pours' has definitely been my life the past week. A few days ago it was alternating between being sunny and rainy here in LA, and since I was in traffic, I decided to roll down my window to let some of the cooler air in when the sun was shining. No sooner was that baby all the way down, when some impatient jerk decided to pass a bunch of us by driving up on the curb, and literally sprayed my entire interior (along with myself) with disgusting, flooded roadside water. I honestly looked like I had just been on Splash Mountain. My makeup was running down my face, my hair was soaking, and my clothes were ruined. I completely lost it and started crying- I was so upset! I had to go home and shower and then take my car to get cleaned on the inside. I was beyond frustrated.

After recovering from that ordeal, I stupidly dropped my credit card in our downstairs toilet (it fell out of my jacket pocket), and before I realized what happened, it was being flushed down into the great unknown. By the time the plumber could get to us, it was too late, and the only thing I got out of it was having to pay him $150 to tell me there was nothing he could do. Note to self: always put by cc back in my wallet, even if I am in a hurry.


Finally, on Wednesday night, after a quick run to Ulta (I got a bottle of Essie in Ballet Slippers, btw- love it), I found myself locked out of the house with my key just spinning in endless circles. After standing outside for 3 hours in the cold, and the locksmith breaking five of his tools whilst cursing in some odd language (a mix of French, Spanish, and possibly some Japanese?!), we finally were able to get into the house. Our townhouse is newly built and the locks are these ultra-techy secure things that apparently do not let anyone or anything get passed them. At least we know that we're safe in here! Anyway, that ended up being $255, so I was just sick over it.

Thankfully, this is my light at the end of the tunnel. Take a look at my kitchen counter:

God help me!

Ok, hope you have a great weekend! xoxo
