This cup just makes me smile and is my new mantra. At my last haircut I drank tea from this cup. I was wandering through Target and found my own. It just makes me smile and is my new favorite coffee cup. Why is this important? I am not sure. What I am sure of is it makes me smile with the addition of the upcoming Nashville library trip. I am skipping (happy steps) today.
As I prepare for upcoming trips I am obsessed with my savings account, library plans and my No Drama Llama cup. I wake up anticipating coffee in my cup, look at savings plan, check balances, look at library dream plans and dissertation timeline. Then off to work, a spring in my step. In between students, dissertation revisions, walking doggos and housework my mind wanders to my pretrip, Nashville, March 8.
Nashville library was not on the original list of most beautiful libraries in the US but I am adding it as a pretrip. My sister invited me to travel with her to a conference and I had two personal days to use or lose (lost em last year). While she is at meetings I will visit libraries first, honkey tonks second, boot stores third (may change order, need boots for honkey tonks). Looking at the Nashville library website (which I do every day now in anticipation of trip) I am excited to explore the libraries. A bonus is the artistic feature. It looks like the libraries have featured artwork at all sites, mini art museums… so bonus trip, bonus fun. March 8 here we come!
On a side note, yet related, on my sister’s recommendation I picked up All You Can Dream Buffet by Barbara O’ Neal. This is a quick read and fun. It is about women bloggers having dreams and traveling across the country in RV’s to meet together. It is quite an adventure and is applicable to my journey, might be to yours as well. A fun, easy read. Enjoy!
No Drama Llama, until we meet again.
