Successssss!

Good Evening Glories! I hosted the hades outta that bridal shower & it went pretty smoothly. My Gal Pal has been really stressed with wedding planning, her job, her mama, etc. so I it was the very least I could do to rock star that shower. I'd rather not host another one ever in life, but I just can't stop folks from walking the aisle. Sheesh. :)  Oh... Big news! I went walking this morning. Not my 3 miles, but I did a little. My Gimpy Foot was a little uncomfortable but I can handle that. Now that the packing and shower processes are complete, I can maybe get back to fitness. I'm gonna need all the walking in the world with all the "last meals" I have coming up. It's nice to be liked. And it's nice that folks will miss me. But gosh damn there's a whole lotta food involved when saying goodbye.

I just dozed off while typing. I believe that's my queue to cut yall loose and prepare to sleep sweat.

G'night & Happy Weekend to yall.

Air[less] Mattress

Hello Delights! Night 2 on the air mattress has left me enlightened. The plastic of the mattress makes me sleep sweaty. Boo caca hiss piss. Also, it is not good for my back. So, I gotta steal a blanket from work to provide extra support. Of course I'll return it...maybe. :)  Just joshin'. Gals, I've been trying to avoid going to my gal pals bridal shower. You know the one I'm hosting? But, I've decided to suck it up and be the best maid of honor that I can be. I'll be at the house tonight helping to decorate. And I'll be there tomorrow hosting my toot toot off. (Yall know I'm saying this to myself mostly, right? I've gotta pump myself up!)  I'll keep you posted.

I'm SO ready to go! I want today to be my last day so I can stop being an unwilling participant in the madness at this job. Ugh. Get me outta here! Please. Help. Now. Okay... Okay... I'll wait patiently. Or semi-patiently. But if I end up pulling out my hair, I will place blame on all of ya. :) 

Dryer-less

Good Morning Delights! The packers came & took all my goods away. I'm washer and dryer less and haven't reached full blown panic yet. But I'm tellin' ya... It's on the horizon. I mean, how creepy can the laundromat be these days? I used to go to the washateria (I really just wanted to use that word) in Portales on Friday nights & it made for interesting sights. And I still love the smell of a hot dryer tossing my wears about. So, going once before I leave shouldn't be too awful, right?!?!  Help me out here FTC'ers. Anyhoo, the fellas that came and packed & loaded my goods were pretty amazing. I gave them sangria when they were finished and it was a grand time. Hopefully, they didn't crash & burn on their way to the storage warehouse. Now that my stuff is gone & I've finally received an email from my new sponsor (who might also be my supervisor), I feel a lot less anxious about the transition. I'm so so so ready to roll. I think the road trip will be peaceful and fun, also. Again, I've got nothin' but thanks and appreciation for each of you for listening to my multi-polar chaos of what I want to do and who I want to be. You all are the grandest! 

My objective for the day is to clean a little. Not that I have anything to clean...but ya know. Maybe I'll organize the remains in my closet. And take a nap on my oh so dreamy air mattress. :\

Happy Thursday Divas! Own the Day!

Getting My Packing Party Started

Good Morning Glories! Today, the packers will arrive on the scene to start my moving process. I'm excited and anxious. I just hope all of my goods and bads arrive safely in Augusta at the end of the month. Plus, once they take my washer and dryer out of my place tomorrow, I may have a melt down. Maybe I'll climb in to the dryer and just go with them. Why not, right? This is the point where you raise your brows and think: Why not? Why not?!?! Well because that's ridiculously dumb and crazy, Carmen! That's WHY NOT!!!  
                               Thanks for keeping me in check ladies!

Other than overseeing the packing madness, I have no real goals for the day. Maybe a load of laundry because it'll be the last my washer & dryer see of me for weeks. Sigh. Deep. Heavy. Sigh. To lift my spirits, I did not buy a car, but I did go to the Saucony website and get me two new pair of kicks. WhooTWhooT! I have bits of chicken strips in my teeth. Not a good look, I tell ya. I need to go to my car & grab some floss. Then I can be as sexy as this lady:

Whose gloss & face stay that perfect while flossing? Not mine. Anyhoo, enjoy the day delights. Own it!

Thanks!

Good Morning Delights! Just want to extend a hearty thanks to each of you for words of encouragement every day, week, and month. Yall rock and rule ALL the time! THANKS!

I've got nothin' else really. Today I really will pack some clothes and uh... maybe not drink wine. We'll see how that 2nd tasks goes.

Cheers!

Give Us, Us Free!

Or at least set me free. Good Morning Delights! Ladies, I'm ready to go. I'm ready to stop coming to my dead end job & being harassed by my nutty supervisor. The joy is, she's on vacation this week & I'll feel the shackles being loosened around my ankles and wrists. Dramatic much? Just a smidgen. It suits me fine, dontchall think? :) Anyhoo, I say I'm ready to go, but haven't really prepared myself for the trip or to have the folks come in to my place & pack up my wares. I've gotta work on that this week as...well, they'll be in my place this week. Wish me luck and a buck or 3. Thanks. I just want to sleep & then sleep some more. Freakin' Maurice. Someone bring me a Kit Kat and spiked hot chocolate, PLEASE! Thanks.

Objectives for the Day:
♣  Go to the bank
♣  Mani & Pedi (these nails are in bad shape)
♣  Pack some clothes & maybe find more to donate
♣  Obtain road trip items
♣  Try NOT to buy a new car. But I REALLY want one. :)

Own the day Divas!

Am I Sanitized Yet?!?!

Good Morning Divas! Vegas is a dirty city. Not sin dirty. But ridiculously trash spread about stained sidewalks tagged buildings and bus stops & unswept shuttle buses dirty. I did not care for the place and do not really see a need to return. Wait... Should A Tribe Called Quest or a resurrected Heavy D ever perform there, I may have to gear up in Clorox Wipes and head back that way. It was a relaxing weekend, full of chuckles, but I am too thrilled to be back in my own sanitized space. I'm now washing & rinsing the Vegas outta my clothing. And I'm pretty sure I could go on record for having took the longest shower in history last night. I know some chemist and biologist are constantly harping about how germs build up your immune system, but those damned dirty sidewalks have to be the reason any of the "cillin's" were created. I still feel like I may need amoxy, penni, Vegascillin to get myself back to an unbalanced norm. :)

Anyhoo... TAPS, I love who you are & I love what you're doing. I'm having tea right now as I type. Mostly because my muy mal eating and Maurice are wreaking havoc on my belly, but am enjoying the tea comfort nonetheless. Congrats on your 1.6lb loss. Keep rockin'. I know all of you are doing wonders in your lives. Be sure to let us know about them so we can continue to brag every once in a while.

Today's Objectives:
£  Not overeat at breakfast
£  Watch football until my Benadryl-induced coma begins
£  Figure out my last work week schedule. It's gonna be chaotic!
£  Get my allergies under control. Maybe this will happen while I'm in a coma.
£  Smile & offer encouraging words to all!

Own the Day Delights!
