Empty August Isn't Really

I had posted at the beginning of the month that I had nothing on the calendar to help me enjoy the remainig bliss that is my lengthy summer. Here it is, the 17th, and I have been very busy & do not have enough days to finish out the month of things I'd like to do. Went out three times last week & going out four this week. Going away next week which means I have to miss a fun birthday party (sorry Fred) & now it turns out I will miss the Hermes Sample! UGH! Life is so unfair. If there are any dedicated shoppers who want to go on my behalf & pick out something absolutely adorable for me, I will send you the info. Why are the shopping gods punishing me like this?
