It seems like it happens every couple of months for me (which is maybe a sign that something bigger needs to change in my life?).

Schedule some random posts and just BE for awhile, you know? <br /><br />So, I know that pretty much everything reminds me of you because it just does, but the Mega Millions is ridic high right now so we better get ourselves tickets tonight.<br /><br />I'm already excited for the next time I'm out in San Diego and I see the sunshine (I'll try not to bring bad weather with me again haha) AND for when you get out here possibly in the Fall.<br /><br />Ooooh and maybe NYC will inspire you!!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482992871321567799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104856532790276525.post-22827582243677207042012-03-20T06:29:44.541-07:002012-03-20T06:29:44.541-07:00They're bringing in-n-out to CO, about an hour...They're bringing in-n-out to CO, about an hour and a half away from my house.

I totally endorse In N Out too. Good gosh I could go for some right now!<br /><br />Now as far as the end of your post goes - I really hate that feeling. I've been feeling it on and off lately and sometimes feel there's really nothing to get you "out" of the rut. I think sometimes you just have to let it take its course, feel it out. When you do come out of it, hopefully you'll be able to find more clarity. I don't like the feeling of going through the motions though either. Just seems like a waste.

Then I whip out my phone and document these things so I don't forget. <br /><br />I know things feel tiresome and draining right now, but they will get better...and easier.<br /><br />Hang in there friend!<br /><br />xoxoTammy @ Lemons, Avocados and the Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17544718373580541155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104856532790276525.post-74911441958064406442012-03-19T06:43:38.916-07:002012-03-19T06:43:38.916-07:00First off, LOVE your new Sperry's!

I do have good things going on in my life and I need to focus on those while trying to tackle the harder things bit by bit.

The best advice I can give is to try to enjoy each day to the best of your ability, even if it is just working a job you don't love and being busy with school. Try to find one thing each day that made you happy, or inspired you, and I think each day will start to be a little better for you. Good luck pretty girl!Courtney Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932251648323616331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104856532790276525.post-72380146190711850772012-03-19T05:39:03.727-07:002012-03-19T05:39:03.727-07:00i definitely find myself always wishing for the we...i definitely find myself always wishing for the weekend or next thing to come. this morning i was read a quote about taking advantage of your day and not wishing for the next thing. i fail to do this all the time! i'm working on thinking of the things daily that God has given me and that i often take for granted.

Usually, I am a frequent commenter on blogs, I read loads of blogs and I can't wait to write my own, but the past few days I have felt a bit blah ,,, <br /><br />I'm working on getting through it, but it is hard to write when you are exhausted. I find the 9-5 grind for me a real struggle because I hate my job. It makes me angry and bad-tempered and irritable and I hate that version of myself. <br /><br />But, we all get through it. You will feel creative again!<br /><br />http://unpublishedworksofme.blogspot.co.uk/Unpublished Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152652424684567118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104856532790276525.post-76643399861737874482012-03-19T01:19:31.669-07:002012-03-19T01:19:31.669-07:00Hey girl.

So cute. I need some sperry's. <br /><br />As for ruts, talking it out & trying to slow things down where you can. In college I always loved taking a drive down pch or just sitting on the beach breathing in the fresh air. Sometimes admiring your surroundings can help you feel better about what you're doing & why. I think the warmer, sunnier weather will help too.Anna Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247767039575233772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104856532790276525.post-8466908816184747232012-03-18T21:22:00.759-07:002012-03-18T21:22:00.759-07:00i miss in n out!! that place is SOO good! animal s...i miss in n out!! that place is SOO good! animal style burgers all the way!Sandy a la Modehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497975802276336835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104856532790276525.post-51504145607846853382012-03-18T21:16:37.551-07:002012-03-18T21:16:37.551-07:00I feel your pain Hollie!

I'm taking classes and I know it definitely leaves less time for me to enjoy myself. So I don't know if this is the most sane, sage advice...but when I'm a rut I always treat the hell out of myself! Maybe doesn't make me any less tired but I feel prettier in the process. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104856532790276525.post-32764623676838710542012-03-18T20:52:33.118-07:002012-03-18T20:52:33.118-07:00P.S.- Love those moccasins!P.S.- Love those moccasins!Crissy@ABerrySweetLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890025269104224345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104856532790276525.post-2794915258272378142012-03-18T20:51:54.830-07:002012-03-18T20:51:54.830-07:00Sounds like this rut is going around.
