See what I want slip slide to it swiftly.....

Tomorrow is Friday!! But I suppose I need to get through today before I end my week! lol

So I ordered a couple of ipad cases on ebay. And, of course, in typical Jennie fashion, I ordered the wrong size. And since they were shipped from overseas, I can't even return them. So I'm selling them on a Facebook garage sale site. At a loss. But at least I'm not stuck with cases that don't fit. One of them is so cute with jewels and crowns. Oh, well.

And when I go home at night and lay my head down....

Wednesday....That I was able to actually make it to work on time is amazing. I decided to sleep in until 5:30. The bed was comfy and I was so relaxed. But I did get up and make it to work on time. Although I do look like I literally just rolled out of bed.

It's 1700 degrees in here and I can't take off my sweater because my shirt is just a little bit too tight. Poor wardrobe planning. Nobody needs to see the crap that hangs over my pants. Speaking of pants, I just noticed that these have nail polish spilled on them. I am just one big wardrobe malfunction today!!

Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slammin' door.....

Tuesday.....I'm over both The Walking Dead and the Vikings game and am ready to move on and look forward to the next episode and the next game. I knew we wouldn't go undefeated, I just hate that the loss was so ugly! But we can redeem ourselves next Monday! I've always known that being a Vikings fan is painful, so the loss wasn't entirely a surprise.

So I'm in the middle of a painful gout flare-up. Am I not too young to be dealing with something like this? And for anyone not familiar with it, it is the most painful thing ever. But I am sucking it up and not whining! But it does reinforce the need for me to quit drinking. Alcohol exasperates the condition, and I don't want to deal with this again.

In the stillness of remembering what you had....

It's Monday. And the start of a new week. I could deal with today and be in a pleasantish mood after the Vikings horrible loss, but then The Walking Dead happened. The combination of the two, plus not being able to sleep least night (because of them) is going to make today a very, very long day.

In better news, I made 5 crockpots of chili on Saturday so I don't have to cook ever again. And C-C-W managed to free up her schedule so she can go to Elle King with me on Saturday. And she said she'd drive!

It's in my head, darling I hope.....

FRIDAY!! Yay!! I'm ready for the week to be over. And as much as I want a weekend, I can't wait until Sunday! I want to continue our winning streak!

So I started watching Breakout Kings on Netflix and it was super good. But apparently it was cancelled after 2 seasons and it ends on a cliffhanger. Ugh!! I like resolution! How come everything good gets cancelled?

When they play their music, that hard rock music....

Thursday!!! So I posted a picture of my new handbag on the Minnesota Vikings Family facebook page and I've gotten 437 likes. That's like a lot. But it is a REALLY cute handbag!

On Saturday I'm going to make chili for the game on Sunday. I haven't made it for several months, so I'm excited. It's the little things.

C-C-W is getting lasik, and it's making me really, really consider it. I can't even imagine not having to wear glasses. That would be wonderful!

But at least I'm enjoying the ride, at least I'll enjoy the ride.....

Wednesday!!! The work week is nearly half over! Last night I tried to help the Princess with math, but I realized I am a terrible teacher. I get so excited about percentages and fractions, and I think that makes it harder for her because math is really hard for her. It's definitely one of those things you either love or hate. And I love it. And I wish I could make her love it, but I can't. So I will just have to go slow and hope she catches on.

I can't wait until the concert Saturday night! And then the game on Sunday! I moved into my new Vikings handbag and I'm so excited about it!! It's a bit larger than I'm used to, but it is so cute!

Anything less that the best is a felony......

Tuesday! Last night I had a dream that I was redoing my kitchen floors and I found the coolest thing. It was a scale that replaces one of the tiles. Like a scale for weighing yourself. And it was super thin and it exactly matched the color of the tiles. I think I either need to find one or invent one, because it was just perfect for my kitchen!

and now back to work....

And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.....

Another Monday....I had a pretty good weekend. I didn't do much of anything, watched netflix, hung out with M, I did a taste test on Sunday, then shopping with the Princess. It was great. And the Vikings are still 5-0! I was sort of convinced that they'd find a way to lose on a bye week, but actually they won because the Packers lost. I need to start enjoying the ride instead of waiting for the crash. lol

Next Saturday is the I love the 90's concert. I'm going with D2 and the Princess. That will be a lot of fun!!! I'm super excited!

When all your promises are gone.....

FRIDAY!!! Bye weeks make me kind of sad. Obviously because I can't watch my team win, but also because I don't want them to lose the momentum they have built up over the past few weeks. But I guess everyone needs a few days off.

I have the most horrible dry skin on my face. I bought a spendy-ish lotion, and it smells TERRIBLE! So hopefully it will work!

I drank a 7 point coffee drink this morning, and it was so not worth 7 points. I only get 30 points a day. It was okay, but so not worth spending that many points.

I'm so glad it's the weekend!

Take it easy, take it slow.....

Thursday!! And yes, I'm wearing yoga pants today. But they don't really count because they are from Ann Taylor. And also, I need to wax my eyebrows. I finally shut my AC off last night. But I want to wait until Thanksgiving to put on the heat. And also to wear socks.

I'm seriously contemplating cancelling my Bingo Blitz Elite membership. Some of the seasonal rooms are impossible to complete and it makes me cranky. I hate being cranky about a stupid Facebook game. But I also love playing it. So maybe I will play it for free for awhile and see how that goes.

Right round like a record, baby.....

Tuesday.....It's only 6:30 and I've already had 4 cups of coffee and a diet coke. I even tried to get to work super early, but of course traffic prevented that plan from happening. Not sure why I woke up so early, but I assume it is because I fell asleep early. And woke up when I dropped my ipad on my face.

Today will be a challenging lunch day because we are having a Chipotle taco bar catered in. Pretty much everything yummy is super high points. So I just need to be super careful with portions to make it fit into Weight Watchers. And I already pre-planned my dinner so I can stay within my points. I'm really trying to dedicate myself to the plan so it works. It would be easier if I wasn't so lazy and if junk food didn't taste so good.

You thought I wouldn't sell without you, sold nine million....

Monday and the beginning of a new week. The highlight of my weekend is obviously 5-0!! Had it been suggested 2 months ago that we would be 5-0 without Teddy or AP, I might have cried at the prospect of not having my star QB and running back. But, I think all the pieces are in place for a very big year. But, lets take it one game at a time!

I colored D2's daughters hair purple, and I so want purple hair! If this is the kind of season I think it might be, I may have purple hair in February. I would definitely compromise my professional integrity for the big game!

The rest of my weekend was pretty non-eventful. 30 minute taste test for $30, and a whole lot of Netflix. I thought about going to the Ladies of Champlin (LOC) bonfire Saturday night, but I didn't want to give up a chance to have the living room to myself. I finished the latest season of The Fosters and tried a couple of other shows, but couldn't get into them. So, I'm back to American Crime, I'm almost through season 2. Then I need to find something else.....

as the cash box rang I thought everything away.....

FRIDAY!!! I have a ton of work to get through before I can start my weekend, but I'm determined to get it all done!! I have a whole weekend full of nothing planned, helping D2 with her daughters hair, spending time with the Princess, netflix, getting paid to sample something, and then the Vikings game. And hopefully a couple of naps in there somewhere.

But in order to do all that, I need to start with checking my voice mails and reading some emails.and in just a few short hours, my weekend can begin!

I know you think that love is the way you make it.....

My Def Leppard concert review in one video:

That's it for now....

And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way.....

Tuesday!! And 4-0!!!! I'm so excited about this! I know the prospect of going undefeated is unrealistic, but I'm hoping that every game is going to be competitive and we don't get blown out at some point. This is going to be a GREAT season! Skol!!

Tomorrow night is Def Leppard!! M won tickets on Saturday, so now me, M, C-C-W and Becky get to go! I'm sad that D2 had to cancel, but it's still going to be a great night!!

Singing songs to me beneath the marquee, Oversold

Thursday!! And 2 days to get all the month ends tasks done. I think I can do it!!

I'm still deciding about whether or not to keep the bangs and they are so long now that I need to pin them back. I need to figure out my plan soon. And I still haven't died my hair. It looks WONDERFUL with the roots growing growing out, but at least I'll finally know what my real hair color is and if I have any gray. It would not be fair if I had gray hair AND acne. One or the other!!

I'm so excited about being 3-0. This makes me very, very happy!

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover...

.Tuesday.....I've been working for a couple hours already and am making progress on the big mess in my email inbox. I had 127 emails to deal with, and now I'm down to under 100. I'll get them all done today. Or tomorrow.

I think I want to go back to yoga, I sort of miss it.

Today one of our managers will be wearing the clown costume that she "won" the right to wear for the United Way. We raised about 3 times as much money as I expected from that event. I don't think she's thrilled that she "won", but she's being a good sport about it. And it's for a good cause!

In the club on the late night, feeling right....

Monday! and it's a great day! 3-0!! Skol!!

I had a pretty uneventful weekend, finished The Walking Dead (and hate the cliffhanger) and I finished My Mad Fat Diary. Super good show! I made a spaghetti lasagna, and it turned out fantastic.

We wrapped up our United Way fundraiser last week, but we've still got to do all the counting and paperwork. So many spreadsheets!

Other than that, not much is going on.

Electric eyes that you can't ignore.....

It's Thursday! And the week is nearly over. That's a super good thing because I've been trying to do way too many things at once, and I'm getting rather sloppy. I just almost ended an email to a district manager with "love ya", so I think I may be a bit overworked. I went home and took an hour nap last night and then I went to sleep by 8:15. But I still feel tired. I will be very glad when United Way week is over. Plus, the coworker I'm covering for is planning to be back for half days in mid-October. I'm very happy and she's getting better, and even happier she'll be back.

Ok, back to work. I have 18 billion things to get done!

There's lipstick on her new dress.....

Tuesday! Bake sale day! Not entirely sure how I'm going to get work done and run a bake sale, but I'm going to have to. I may be at work until 7 pm, but there are things I absolutely have to get done today. I am going to need a ton of coffee!

I'm wearing my Vikings-Prince Skol shirt today. Because I think it's my favorite shirt. and it makes me happy.

I started watching season 6 of The Walking Dead, and someone that said it was the dumbest show ever started watching it. And now I think they might be a fan. Although they'll never admit it. So I had to find something else to watch until we can get together and binge through a few more episodes. So the Princess told me to watch My Mad Fat Diary. It's actually really, really good. So much drama!

I'm gonna rock on away from here....

Monday....I was up way too late last night celebrating the Vikings win! Today I'm wearing Bridgewater because AP is covered in beer. And I can't wash it, but I'm okay with that! I need more coffee!!

I just ate a fruity pebbles marshmallow bar for breakfast. I spent all weekend baking for the bake sale tomorrow and I made a lot of yummy things! And I am NEVER making chex mix again. What a pain in the ass! I didn't realize how complicated it is. It should be easy! At least hopefully we will raise a lot of money!

And I can't break away from this parade.....

Thursday!! I can not wait for the weekend. And for this stupid cough to go away. It's getting really, really old. My life right now is the cough and the United Way fundraiser. That's it. Although this afternoon I get to watch Layla for awhile. I miss that adorable baby, who isn't actually a baby since she's almost 14 months old.

But I don't wanna be the puppet....

Wednesday!  It's been a long week so far, I've spent most every night up coughing. I'm sick of being sick.

We kicked off United Way week yesterday with a breakfast and guest speaker. My intro speech was 2 sentences long because every time I talk, I cough. I've been on antibiotics since Sunday, so it should slow down soon. I hope. Especially since I need to spend this weekend baking for the bake sale.

Sunday is a HUGE football game. I'm filled with nervous excitement. I had been hoping we'd have a new kicker-guy before then, but apparently that is not going to happen. We are going to need every point we can get, so he MUST make the point afters. You just can't miss those!

Cause the music fills me good and it gets me every time....

It's Friday!! I was sleeping by 7:00 last night. I was so sick! But I think I'm at least 82% better. Probably all the drugs! Sudafed, Theraflu, cough syrup, cough drops, and a couple Advil. I think I'm good!

It took me an extra half an hour to get to work today because of the traffic. The thought crossed my mind that everyone on the road was stupid. And then I remember I needed to get to work so I could order more of this: http://octaviohair.com/shop/dwnfowpueb21trdtd6mhxjr21oy97b  And then I realized that I'm probably the stupid one for paying $17 for 4 oz of what is basically just salt and water. .So I decided I wouldn't order it.

No matter the distance, I want you to know....

It's the day before Friday! I ended up at work super late last night, but I got a lot done. Still a lot more to do, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's dim, but I see it.

Maybe TMI, but I feel weird today because I'm wearing a thong with a dress. I'm not sure I've ever worn a thong with a dress before. And I'm not sure I ever will again. It just feels strange.

That's it. That's my life today. Back to work!

I lost myself in a familiar song.....

Wednesday!! I love that the week is half over already! I am so insanely busy at work. Plus I screwed up a huge spreadsheet and I think I'm going to have to redo the whole thing. But that will only take me 187 hours, so no big deal!

I'm hoping for a nice, relaxing, low key weekend. A parade on Saturday, football on Sunday, hopefully some more reading. I cleaned for about 4 hours last night, so no cleaning this weekend!!

I just had a crazy thought.....

It's a Tuesday that feels like a Monday! I really wish I could have slept in a little bit longer. I had a great weekend of doing pretty much nothing - my favorite kind of days!! M was pretty busy building an amazing shelf for the garage, and I spent the time playing MyVegas slots. Like I literally played for hours and hours and hours. I'm still playing. I'm determined to finance this Vegas trip with MyVegas points. I've got enough points for the hotels, now I'm working on the food. I'm excited to go back. I love Vegas!

So we got a new quarterback. I'm sad about Teddy, but we did really need someone. I hope this works out okay. I'm trying to be optimistic, but I was so excited for the season and to see what Bridgewater would do this year. I know we'll be fine, we have a strong defense and we have AP. But I can't help being a little disappointed.

When ya go then everything goes....

The day before Friday! I wish I wasn't so cranky today. This is the 2nd day this week that I've been left with a car with less than a quarter tank of gas in it. Would it be so hard to leave me a note so I can plan for it?? Like for seriously! Ugh! I was already cranky because of my quarterback, and then this.

Dear Vikings Management People: Please bring in a qb that will win some games. Preferably one that is a threat to throw so we can open up the running game and take advantage of AP. We finally have a decent defense, so lets put together a complete offense. Please and thank you!

Ok, off to do more work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMOKlXfXn50

'Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear.....

What football team really needs their up and coming star quarterback? We'll be just fine without him. We can just run the ball. It's not like AP fumbles 72% of the time or anything like that. Maybe Favre is free. And just ugh!!!

I know it's a Wednesday, but it feels like a Monday. I've got month end stuff to do all day. I am so looking forward to a 3 day weekend of doing nothing!

I broke another nail so I just filed them all down. they are all super short. But I'm confident they willa ll grow back. I hope.

Drench yourself in words unspoken, live your life with arms wide open

Tuesday....Last night I power cleaned the down stairs. It's actually clean right now. Here's to hoping it stays that way. I've been playing MyVegas slots pretty much around the clock in anticipation for hopefully being able to go to Vegas this spring. I should have enough bonus points to cover the hotel and most of the food.

One of my biggest pet peeves - a nearly empty gas tank without a heads up. I don't really allow myself enough time in the morning to stop unless I know I need to. Would a quick text be too much to ask???

She's the kind of girl you dream of....

Back to Monday. I had a great weekend. The fair was awesome. And I limited my grease intake to cheese curds and half a pronto pup. Oh, I also had a bacon caramel chocolate ice cream bar. And it was delicious. And cotton candy. And I think that's it. So, not too bad.

Saturday night was the GloRun. It was amazing! So many glow sticks! We walked most of it because we had to stop often to take selfies. Unfortunately most of them didn't turn out because my flash didn't work and it was super dark. But we got a couple cute ones.

No idea what this next weekend holds. I'm leaving it up to M. I'd prefer a nice relaxing weekend with Netflix. But we shall see.

But that's just how the story unfolds....

It's Friday!! It has been such a long week. But I've gotten a lot of work done. I'm practically almost close to being kind of a little bit caught up. Well, not really. But I'm pretending.

Tonight is the state fair! Last night I was chatting with an old friend and she lives really close to M, so I invited her to come with. I haven't seen her in at least a year. We were practically bff for quote awhile. It will be nice to see her.

So desperately sure as the sky is blue....

The day before Friday! I can make it through 2 more days, right?!?!  Yesterday was a horribly long day, I have so much work I need to get done before the end of the month. The stress is catching up with me. So last night I did the most logical thing and got drunk. Because alcohol fixes everything.

Actually I had a good night. I won a game of cribbage, which is really surprising considering how tipsy I was. I also lost a game. But it was close!

My coworkers husband fell and broke both of his ankles. How can you even do anything without being able to walk. Or stand. That would be horrible! Plus extremely painful!

Prayers to him and also to D2 with her recent health struggles. You shall get through this!

But you turn your back and then he's off and running with the crowd.....

My dentist appointment went well, no cavities. I'm quite happy about this, because that means I don't have to pay more money to the dentist. The Clothing Swap was ehhh. I was able to get rid of a bin and a bag of clothes, but there was nothing in my size. I guess that's probably a good thing since I don't really need more stuff. But I was hoping to get a couple pairs of pants that fit. Oh, well.

I think me and M have decided to for sure go to the State Fair on Friday. I haven't been there for years. I see cheese curds in my future. Yum!

So pardon my manners, I hope you'll understand.....

Tuesday! Tonight I have a dentist appointment and then the LOC (Ladies of Champlin) Clothing Swap. That should be a fun event, I have tons of stuff to bring. Hopefully someone will bring clothes that fit me! I really need some new pants.

Today I put on a skirt and was all ready to leave when I realized it was probably just a tad too short to wear to work. Good thing I had a pair of khaki's at M's. Although I don't think I actually match. Oh, well. At least I won't be yanking down a skirt all day.

I tried on my Glo Run outfit, and I'm going to look very 80's. Although really the pi`ece de re`sistance is the banana clip and aquanet bangs. I'm VERY excited for this event!

I'm your pain while you repay.....

Monday....I had a fantastic weekend! I got to see freaking Metallica in the Vikings new stadium!! It can't get much  better than that! Plus, I got to share the experience with my daughter and her dad. It was a fantastic show. And then we went back to M's and continued the party. It was a great night! Thank you, M, for dropping us off and picking us up!

This weekend should be fun, too. Saturday night is the 80's glo run with ZarahZou. And I think that M and I are going to Prince Night at the State Fair.

I have a couple of fun concerts coming up in October w/ D2. Def Leppard!! And the I love the 90's concert. These should be amazing! I can't wait.

They can beg and they can plead, but they can't see the light (that's right)

FRIDAY!!! And the day before Metallica! I'm super tired, I stayed up until after 11 watching the Vikings. And went to bed even though the game wasn't over. Because that's just too late for me. I quite possibly could have stayed up later, but I think I drank too much.

I settled on a concert outfit. Denim capris and a black t-shirt and flip flops. The Princess has issued her approval. And that's what matters! A super huge thank you to M for offering to drop us off. And for the breakfast burrito this morning. I can't wait to eat it!

I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind....

The day before Friday! And 2 days before Metallica!!! Yay!! It's been a long process, but I think I'm getting the hang of this accounting job thing. Balancing the 2 jobs (knock on wood) is getting quite a bit easier. I'm still insanely busy, but way less stressed about it.

To the guy in the big white truck on Highway 100 this morning - I am in the right lane going OVER the speed limit. And I can not possibly go faster than the cars in front of me. Being 2 & 1/2 inches from my rear bumper is NOT going to make me go faster. It's going to make me nervous and make me want to slow down. I'm already going 65. Why not just pass me??

Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing.....

I'm pretty sure it's 118 degrees in my office today. This morning I was having a super challenging bangs day. Then I burned my forehead with the curling iron. So because my bangs were being difficult, I had to pin them back. Which allows me to show off my beautiful burn. Go, me!!

I'm having a hard time deciding what to wear to Metallica on Saturday. I have a bad habit of dressing up too much for events that should be casual. But casual is hard for me. I have "work mode" and "sweatpants". No in-between. I'll have to solicit help from the Princess.

She never compromises, loves babies and surprises, wears hi-heels when she exercises.....

Tuesday....I have a ton of work to get through today. I also may or may not be a little bit hungover. It's probably a super good idea to get plastered the night before a weigh-in. Sometimes I can hardly handle my geniusness. But, the drinks were good. So there's that.

Today I need to get through 2 email boxes and handle every single email. And finish up our United Way campaign proposal. Tonight is the grocery store and the treadmill.

I broke a nail. Like really broke. It's hard not to be sad when that happens. But, its just a nail. Right?!?!

'Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out.....

Monday....I had a really good weekend. I got a ton of laundry done. Yesterday I went to a bbq with M's family. They are all very nice. And I got to hold a baby. Which is pretty much the best thing ever. He is 3 months old, and super cuddly and sweet. And the food was fantastic. I made my moms potato salad and it turned out okay. Not like hers, but okay. I also got to see the Vikings win their first preseason game. I know, preseason. But it just means the season is that much closer!

This Saturday is METALLICA!!! I am so excited!!!

This is going to be another busy week. But I'm slowly getting better at this accounting stuff. Slowly.

In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze....

FRIDAY!!! I've got a ton of stuff to do before I can start my weekend, but I'm determined to get it done! I have some people coming in for a meeting that unfortunately I have to lead, but hopefully it will go fast. I'm semi-sort-of prepared. I'll just talk fast!

I know it's only preseason, but VIKINGS FOOTBALL starts tonight!! Skol! I feel good about this year. We have a brand new stadium and a quarterback that's a year more experienced. Our defense is strong. This is going to be a good season!

I'm trying PB2 powdered peanut butter today. It has like 85% less fat than regular peanut butter and is really low in points. I'm assuming it's going to be similar to Better'n Peanut Butter, which I like. I need more low point options, so I hope this works out.

But I know what I like, I know I like dancing with you

Thursday!! I had this great outfit planned, my hot pink geometric heels and a new pair of pants I bought 2 weeks ago. That I actually tried on in the store and they fit perfect. But when I put them on this morning, they were too big. That is extremely frustrating. But good, I guess. Anyhow, I threw on a pair of jeans and flats and went on my way. Having my clothes be too big is not the most terrible problem in the universe.

I know it's only preseason, but IT'S FOOTBALL TIME!! The only time of the year more exciting for me is when college basketball starts. I think this is going to be a good season. I mean, we have a brand new stadium! That I get to see Metallica in VERY SOON!! And hopefully I will get to see a game there. Skol!!

I'd trade a million pretty words.....

Wednesday!! Last night I had an excellent (but fast) dinner with an old friend who offered a new perspective on a current situation. And it was one of the most insightful conversations I've had in a long time. I'm so thankful we're friends. You're advise was spot on and I think I'm back in a very good place.

Tonight I need to go to Target. And then the treadmill. I need to stay on track with both Weight Watchers and the treadmill. Yesterdays weigh-in was very good, I lost 4 pounds. But I need to continue the new-found momentum I've got.

I wish I would stop getting emails from the Coach outlet. I do no need another new handbag. Plus. I'm saving for the Vikings Dooney!!

Simply pretend that you can build them again...

Another day at work. And since I now have 2 email boxes to deal with, I'm ending up with like 700 emails a day. Well, maybe not 700. but it certainly feels like that. There are so many aspects to JC's job that I am still trying to understand and figure out. She is the only one who knows what she does, but I've got to figure it out because whether or not the agents and markets get paid is all on me.

I'm wearing a skirt today that I haven't worn in at least 2 or 3 years. And today is weigh-in day. I'm hoping for a good number. Last night I walked on treadmill for 64 minutes. Mostly because I wanted to finish the episode of Quantum Leap I was watching. I started watching that show last week and I think I like it. I forgot all about it, and it is fairly interesting.

I'm about to level up to 199 in Bingo Blitz. Maybe with the credits for leveling up I will be able to finish the new Power Up Girls room. They are apparently running out of ideas for new rooms.

It didn't take too long until I got it together.....

Another Monday....I had a pretty good weekend. Friday night I was sleeping by 7 pm, and that was great! Saturday night I went to play bingo with D2 and ended up buying a couple of tickets for the meat raffle. I didn't even know that they were a real thing! I didn't bingo, but I did win a nice package of meat. Which in retrospect sounds highly perverse, but totally wasn't. I chose a breakfast package of sausage, bacon and a ham steak. I'm way more excited about it than I should be! Lol

I most definitely think we'll go back to that bingo place. Everyone was so nice, and the waitress was fantastic! Maybe eventually one of us will hit a bingo! and I also proved I could go to bar and have fun without alcohol!! I wore a banana clip as practice for the 5k Glo Run. I'm super excited about it!!!

I have a HUGE zit on the middle of my chin. I'm not sure if it's stress or the treadmill, but it's horrible. I have dinner plans tomorrow night so I hope it calms down. I'm also contemplating going to play bingo Wednesday night. Purse bingo, because I can always use a new designer handbag!!

Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow....

It's Friday. Its been a very, very long week. I'm going to spend the weekend doing laundry and sorting through clothes that don't fit. I need to find enough confidence to wear the size that actually fits me instead of trying to hide in something too big. It's hard because even though I have lost weight, I know I still have a ways to go. I did go on the treadmill last night, so hopefully that is the beginning of a positive change.

I also decided to, at least for a while, stop coloring my hair. I don't know what's my natural color is anymore and I'm a bit curious to see if I have any gray. I can always dye it at any time, but I think I'll let it grow out a bit. It's also time to find a style other than "hanging drably". My hair looked really good yesterday, but unfortunately I left that curling iron over at M's, so it could be awhile before I get it back.

The 21 year old son of a coworker passed away last weekend and the funeral is today. I wish I could make myself go, but I'm in no emotional position to be handle it appropriately.
