Sand in Places

Hola Divas!
Oh how I've missed you all. Reading and writing blogs is an addiction that I quit cold turkey just for the sake of lying on beaches & getting sand in odd places. I'm back on the wagon ladies. Blogging of chaos will re-commence effective immediately. I've got a glass of Nbed 2gether wine, Carmenere flavor. How could I NOT drink this while returning to my blogging addiction? I mean fo' real... It has my friggin name right on the bottle!

Anyhoo, guess what was GREAT!!!!  Hawai'i! Indeed this may have been the best vacation I've had yet. Tons of relaxation and sangria and basketball and semi-clothed beauties. The OH's (original Hawaiians) are absolutely gorgeous folks. I need to return and mate with a few. Not for reproductive purposes, but ya know... just for practice. Had the best time ever. Hangover'ish in nature on more than several occasions. I'll keep the pics to myself.  :)

Objective for Tomorrow:
♣  Not miss my plane home
♣  A lot of nada

Enjoy the day Divas! I'll be back to walkin' and eating well soon.

Unofficially official!

Good Morning Divas!

Because I'm now operating on whatever time zone Phoenix celebrates, I'm mostly wide awake. My body tells me that it's 5 a.m. but the sun clock says 2. Anyhoo, why not utilize my "up" time to blog?!!? Officially, my vacation started yesterday morning once I boarded the aircraft. After landing in PHX, we hurried off to meet a fellow Greyhound for breakfast. Such a GREAT time. Then there was a lot of running around and grabbing last minute trip items; sangria sipping; dancing in the kitchen; snacking of a cracker/meat/cheese plate; chuckling; and finally watching The Hangover as my gal pal twisted my hair. At some point in there, I washed dishes. The two divas who are accompanying me on this sabbatical are passed the hell out on the couch. Vacation is HERE and we've not even gotten to Hawaii yet. :)  Tomorrow will be more of the same madness, but I plan to sleep on the plane.

Goals for the Week:
♣  Soak up the sun & Vitamin D
♣  Not over eat or drink (wish me luck!)
♣  Walk at least 2 of the days we're there
♣  Stay mindful of my life's fortunes! I am one lucky gal.

Here's to a positive & productive week/weekend to you FT'ers ~
Cheers!

Done & Ready!

Good Morning Glory's!

I accomplished everything on the list from yesterday & I'm ready to vacate my premises. Thank you all for the well wishes & I will definitely try to keep up with you all during my absence. I feel a 5lb weight gain coming on, and I'm perfectly dandy with the thought. I'll work it off by reunion time. Not many goals for the day, but I do hope to:

= Not offend anyone w/ my lactose intolerance. :)  Had 2 bowls of cereal yesterday.

= Grab some good snacks and reading material.

= Not have an annoying passenger next to me on the plane.

See yall later.

Doing Too Much, But Accomplishing Nada! :)

Good Afternoon Delights!
Wow! When was the last time I blogged in the afternoon? I must be slippin'. I feel like I've been extra busy today, but not sure what I've got done. Let's re-cap:  Twisted my hair in the wee hours of the a.m.; volunteered for 2 hours at the Fisher House; attempted to get a pedicure, but they were busy so; sauntered over to the antique store & came home with a screen-less screen door. It's now hanging on my bedroom wall acting as a super large double-picture frame. It's neat, but I'm still deciding on how it'll be utilized. Getting it in to SinnABurst was a feat & she now needs to be re-vacuumed. It's frigginasshot outside, though. And my piggies need to be done. And I need to clean my kitchen again. And my bathroom before I begin sipping pineapple drinks on the beach. Oh, and I need to transfer the contents of my purse to a backpack for easier travel. Plus, I will look more natural pulling out my grande sudoku book from a school-related bag. I'll try to continue my daily blogging, but no promises Divas.



I'm off to:

//  Clean
//  Vacuum SinnA
//  Finish doing whatever I'm gonna do with the screen
//  Recycle
//  Maybe take a nap
//  Ensure that I'm REALLY prepared for this vacation.

Own the Week Divas!

Nada!

Good Morning Delights!

Yesterday was one of Nothingness Bliss. I was so tired by the time I got home from work that I ate some cereal, had a couple of phone conversations, showered, & wrapped myself up in the sheets. Watched a movie from my Netflix queue & fell out. A good 8.5 hours of sleep. Just what I needed. So... today I'll do what I didn't get to yesterday & get my toiletries together. I may get my toes done, also. Can't be the woman with ugly duckling feet at the beach.

That's it! Vacation needs me.

Enjoy the day Divas!

Piss Off!

Howdy Divas!


I need all of you to posse up & tell the security guard on duty to piss off. He and his 8th grade tactics ("You look so fine!" & "Where's my hug?") are driving me bananas! And he just stood at the door badgering me about what I was eating. I told him to go away because I just want to eat my meal in peace (the light is off & the door could barely be perceived as ajar). He asked me what I was eating at least 5 times before he said, "Fine! I won't ask you anything else ever again!" and stomps away. SERIOUSLY?!?!?  #@K$#$!^&$%$  Where the hell are the Go Go's and my damned vacation? It's soooo time for me to go. One more night of work Divas! Then I'm blowing this joint like Smokey in 'Friday.' [Breathing deeply]

Yesterday I finished laundry, got a new swim suit, threw away unneccesary pantry items, and had a wonderful walk. Even washed dishes & made dinner and lunch for a couple of meals. It was a productively grand day. I can't let Mr. Eighth-Grade Dance Boy interfere with the goodness. I did have some time to think about what I want to do and/or goals I want to achieve. Blank board. I think I got burned out quickly on this gig because the program is not working how it should nor achieving what's outlined in the Mission Statement. It's hard to be a part of something that continues to fail every day. I could see if it were a bakery or restaurant, `cause at least I'd be eating well. But not following through on what we promise these guys is a big disappointment. And I'm tired of being one of three (out of a team of about 25) that try to provide guidance and structure. Talk about exhausting. Anyhoo... something great has to happen. I just hope it happens soon. Thanks for listening to the Whine Festival that required you to bring your own glass & you still leave sober. Today will be better, which will make for a better blog tomorrow.

Today's Objectives:
☼  Be jolly!
☼  Organize what's in the suitcase.
☼  Maybe twist my hair
☼  Abs, arms, legs & possibly a short saunter
☼  Diet well. I. Am. Tired.

Enjoy the day, Divas!

Wishy-Washy-Washy-Wishy

Hola Delights!

First:  Big ol' shout out to TAPS & Magic Mel for rockin' that 5k yesterday! I hope the wine was tasty. Congrats Ladies!

Divas, I'm not sure if you remember way back when I mentioned that I'm the most indecisive person I know. Well, Wishy Washy Nemrac has reared her head. And can I just say that I'm not necessarily feeling the social work program right now. And I have no doubt or fear that I wouldn't be a successful student or social worker, but I just don't feel like it right now. I want to work, earn vacation days, travel, get massages & pedicures, and take community education classes. That's really all I want these days. Oh and to continue exercising and eating a little less. Yep. The end. Vacation cannot come soon enough. I've decided that I need to be a better grocery shopper. I'll be cleaning out my pantry prior to my trip & make a list of stuff that should be in there and/or my ice box. (I LOVE saying "ice box.") Then I'll shop once I get home. Thanks for listening.

Today's Objectives:

Ä  Finish packing

Ä  Clean out pantry

Ä  Go for a stroll. Missed it yesterday!

Ä  Possibly get another new swimsuit

Ä  Appreciation gifts for the fella sponsoring this HI excursion

Ä  Stay cool. It'll be a humid scorcher today!

Enjoy the day Divas!
