The Blonde Diaries

Another Friday! Woohoo! I am so happy the weekend is here. It has heated up pretty quickly here in Houston (only the low 100s) and with that I am having the worst time sleeping. So all week I have been tired and cranky. I am hoping a little shopping this weekend will snap me out of my mood and help me lighten up a bit.

So let’s get started on Aloha Friday and kick this weekend off!

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

What is the one thing you cannot live without at this moment?

Right now it is my green Kate Spade planner.  I know it sounds weird but there is a story to it.  Back in 2005 when I first moved to Houston, all I could think about was hitting the Galleria after my first real pay check as I was broke all summer with no job.  While I was at training, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and I had a friend who’s New Orleans office, where she was to work, was closed for over a month so that they could regroup.  So she was shipped off to Houston and lived on my couch for a month.  It was pretty fun times.  Anyways, one day I got off of work early so I hit up the Galleria and bought a new pair of designer jeans for jeans day Friday and this green planner.  I swore up and down that I would use this planner every day for the rest of my life (can you see me trying to justify this dumb purchase).  So I was good with it for about 6 months until it got tossed to the side and it was a running joke between us for the past 3 years – Her – How’s that Planner?   Me – “Yeah let’s not talk about it”.  Then I got engaged and found I needed something to keep myself organized.  So that planner goes everywhere with me and is used every day.  I make sure to show it to her everytime I see her now. LOL
