Happy Happy Weekend!
Kipper and I are off to London tonight!


And I have never been less prepared for a trip in ma damn life.
To say it’s been a crazy couple of weeks would be an understatement, and yes, I remain vague because I don’t like sharing everything with all of you strangers that I love on the internet 🙂 Don’t take it personally, I’m a vault that is amazing at locking it all up for most people.  Which can be a good thing and a bad thing.  But just know that all is good! I’ve just barely had time to shave my underarms, let alone watch my beloved Bravo, drag my husband to take photos of me on the way to Lowe’s, or put together a proper blog post.

So I suppose London is coming at the perfect time!
For a whole week I will have nothing but time to spend however I please (ummmmm can I take my Comcast DVR box with me in my suitcase? Because I’m going to have plenty of solo time in London while my husband works, and I’ve heard it can be quite dreary in London, which sounds like the perfect in-hotel-spa-day-binging-television.  Spoken like a true lazy American, amiright?)

but I digress……..

LONDON! I cannot wait.  Thank you all so much for your rec’s on instagram, blog posts, and e-mails! I have tried to compile everything into a word spreadsheet and will share the combination of everyone’s suggestions in a post after our trip!
We are staying in Mayfair in West End of London, and the rest is kinda TBD!
For the first time EVER we are going to be checking a suitcase.  Which is like the CRAZIEST concept in the world to me.  So I might be able to bring an extra pair of shoes or a second jacket or something luxurious like that!  My husband….. he spoils me.  Slash he has trained me over the almost 9 years to think that checking a bag is like being upgraded to first class on an international flight…. HA! Yeah right….. we’ll be Coach’ing it with no extra leg room….. don’t worry…. he keeps me humble.

I’m STILL last minute packing and stressed about what I am bringing….
but I suppose anything I need I can buy when I am over there already…….

SO! I still have not downloaded any books for London, but I will be bringing my handy dandy Kindle.
I still have tons of books from my Summer Reading List, but feel free to send anything else my way as well!
I’m trying to figure out what to read….. do I want something easy, mindless or more of a thriller or what? I DON’T KNOW!

Here was my Summer Reading list, and I have only read 5 of these:

I will be posting TONS to instagram the next week!
So follow along on instagram to see everything in my stories as we take on London!
I’ll be doing my best to harass my husband at every moment to take a picture with me, which he will refuse and be annoyed with at all times….. so it’ll probably be some pretty scenic shots and pictures of his back, but I’ll do my best to get some interesting things.
