T-Shirt Mania

One of my "reward" gifts came in the mail yesterday.  T-shirt with "be kind" on the front.  LOVE it!  I spend most of my time in t-shirts when I have a foster dog -- no point in muddying up my good clothes (ummm, plus they don't fit).  The problem is my shirt collection is hurting.  Stained, ripped, worn ... but I still use them.  I feel like a bum.

Since I've had a recent issue with the blues, part of feeling better (for ME) is looking better.  Clean my crap up!!  Enter the search for new shirts.  My favorite company went out of business so I've been on the hunt.  I'm picky on fit and fabric.  I usually need unisex sizing for the length.

I ordered 2 - one v-neck in woman's sizing; one crew in unisex.  I like the crew.  Size is good; fabric is nice; no shrinking.  Winner!!

I went back (ETSY - UniqueBelletique) to search for more.  Guess what?!?!?  You can easily CUSTOMIZE!!  OMG!  An addiction is born ... or potentially born if I like the results.

I can't tell you how many times I say "I wish I could find those words on a shirt."  And, this morning, with the opportunity at my fingertips, I couldn't remember NOT ONE!  I have a quote book, but it's all lengthy stuff.  I want short and sweet, but not too preachy.

I searched and searched and decided to do a french word for our trip.  Sourire -- means "smile."  Good stuff.  As soon as I ordered it, I came up with a great idea.  Using different fonts:
     Atlanta
     London
     Paris
Perfect for the plane ride for our May trip.  Comfortable, fun, conversation piece (even if I only talk to myself LOL).  I'd get matching ones for everyone, but my boys are firmly against matching anything unless it's a sports team (party-poopers).

P.S. If this goes well, I have my new favorite gift to give to all my girlfriends!!

I have another reward in the "maybe" box.  If I pull the trigger, I'll give you the scoop.  STILL no dog pjs ... I'm super bummed and a couple of weeks away from canceling the order.

In other news:

A possible ice storm is expected late morning.  Looks like today is a hibernation day. (BTW, schools are cancelled, but rumor has it, it's because of the GA college game tonight ... got to love the south!!)

Both dogs did really well last night - good girls.  We're forming our routine.  Dogs are amazing!

Hubby came home last night and I was able to get a zillion (actual count) of errands run while he watched football and the girls (I crated them 2 times already).  Glad to have that stuff off my list.

Holly is crating fine with Noelle in the crate with her.  No more anxiety.  I ordered the recommended stress tabs to try if she needed them.  Good to have on hand for the future fosters.

CE credits will be done this week and I'll apply for my license renewal next week.  Then resume update.  Then the search begins.

I have coffee with a friend on Wednesday - good to get out of the house.  Maybe another something later in the week.

Still lots of to-dos on my list for the week, but I've already made a dent.

Today is another ME day of healthy choices.  Keeping my promise feels good.  Duh.  That should go on a t-shirt!!!  Later gators.
