Ramblings 09FEB14

Blogging Slump:
As you may have noticed, I have not been posting much. Well I haven't been reading very much either. I just haven't felt like it, which is compounded by my busy time at work. I feel laser focused when I'm at work, setting goals and hitting them out of the park (mixed metaphors, much?) but when I'm not there, my mind wanders. I can't focus on a hardcopy or a digital screen and I am so far behind on my already reduced reading goal for the year. I hope to continue at least posting ramblings every week and I have a few other plans but for the month of February, expect sparseness from me on my blog and in commenting.

Shopping:

I'm a huge Target fan and while I'm not familiar with Peter Pilotto as a designer, I can't resist the bright colors and fabric selections showcased here. I'm looking online to pick up a few dresses and maybe a skirt from the latest capsule collection, which should be available now. I was talking with my coworker about this and she noted that it wasn't really her style but that she thought of me when seeing it because everyone at work knows how I love my colors.

Week to Come:

Hopefully a review of White Spaces by Ilsa J. Bick and I'm sitting down today to write up my WOWs for the rest of the month so you'll definitely want to be back on Wednesday to see what I'm anticipating. Ideally I would review at least one more book this week but I just don't know if that will happen.

  1. Aw, I'm sorry that you haven't felt like reading much lately. I don't blame you, though, as it happens to me quite often :D Sounds like you had a good week, still? <3 Anyway, fingers crossed you will feel like reading more soon :)

    1. This week has been a bit better but I'm still struggling. I hope March is better because I know February will continue to be busy with work!

  2. I saw those outfits in a commercial for Target. Some of the dresses really do look great!

  3. Sorry you're feeling slumpy -- it happens! I love the crazy prints on other people, but I have to just use them in small doses. I've been checking out your fashion blog from time to time - look forward to seeing your new Pilotto stuff there!
    Thanks so much for stopping by! Jen @ YA Romantics

  4. Yeah, those reading slumps come and go. Those are a bit too crazy colorful for my taste but still fun.

    1. It's killing me-I used to be the biggest reader anyone knew and now I might finish 10 books this month if I'm very lucky.

  5. Tough keeping all the balls in the air, I'm behind on reviews but I'm not going to stress ... reminding myself it's supposed to be fun lol. Have a great week and enjoy your down time :)

    1. I'm doing okay at writing up my reviews but I don't always have the strong opinion I need to make them decent. Oh well, it's a process.

  6. I'm feeling a slump too. I've only managed to finish three books so far this year! It's been bad. I'm glad things are going well for you at work though. It's great that you're meeting so many of your goals there. :)

    1. It's the worst feeling, isn't it? I might be getting back into the swing of things but it's probably too early to officially declare that.
