In Denver this weekend, Tiff, Val, and I all discovered we’re all Judy Blue jeans fans. I discovered them via Stitch Fix, and wore the hell out of mine until they got holes (not the stylish kind) and had to be thrown out. In fact, that’s happened to most of my jeans and I was down to one pair. So when Val mentioned there is a store nearby that sells Judy Blue I was so excited to go and hopeful I’d find a pair. I GOT FIVE PAIRS! I didn’t even realize how stressed I was about not having jeans to wear to work until I got them. It was like a huge weight off my back I didn’t realize I was carrying.
My organization has never been in the news as much as it is now and it’s interesting reading articles and actually knowing what’s going on (vs what the articles say).
Some people knocked on our door last night and I was all “UGHHHHHHHH I don’t want to answer the door” then it turned out they were looking for their lost cat and I felt sad for them and bad for not wanting to answer the door. Ugh. I hope they find their cat. I spread the news a bit more on our street so others can look for them. I remember how freaked I was when Khali ran away (hmm, looking back, that is one of the first times I realized I struggle to share difficult things I am going through because sharing makes me feel worse).
I love my new mani from Lorena! People keep calling them my Easter nails, ha. Nah, Easter nails would be more pastel.
Welcome to the peace that can only be found by always having a clean pair of jeans that fits on hand. A few years ago I found a brand that is comfortable for my body so I got three pairs, which is enough to carry me between laundry days, and I’ve never looked back.
I finished the book! Hmmm. It was an easy read and a message I think everyone needs to hear. Like legit, quit worrying so much about what other people are doing and stop wanting to understand WHY. You will have so much more peace. I felt like the writing was a bit repetitive but maybe she was just trying to get the message across? And there is some controversy about her copying it from a poem. Overall though, agree with the message and have been implementing it.
I also felt the writing was very repetitive, but her podcasts are like that too, so I guess maybe it’s also her style? It was indeed an easy and quick read (my mom had it and I read it while I was at her house), and overall I also agree with the fact that not feeling like you need to control what other people do and think does give you a lot of peace. As a catchphrase it is easy to remember when I am in a situation where I need to apply it! 🙂
I first read those jeans as Judy BLUME jeans and I was like, “Hold on. I need more information.” HA. I’m glad you found some jeans you love for your transition back to office life (womp).
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned.

Yay! What brand?
I totally feel you on the jeans stress!
How are you enjoying the Let Them theory?

Yes! It’s so easy to remember and I have been using it! So that’s great. Glad to know I am not the only one who thinks she’s repetitive.

The mani looks great!
LOL! We were calling them that jokingly! Womp indeed! But felt so much less stress this week knowing I had options!
Thanks!
