This past weekend went by in a crazy, hazy, overly-productive whirl!! WHEW!!! It has taken me two days of being back at work to finally feel recouped!!! 😉
Anyway, the weekend started with a mini girls’ night in at my house (always fun!!!) My husband and I actually got home about 50 minutes before either of my girlfriends were going to arrive. Well, in my sometimes A.D.D. way, I told Jason that we just had to rearrange the living room – as if it were imperative to my future happiness!!! LOL! Being the FABULOUS man that he is, he just rolled up his sleeves and said, “Whatever makes you happy, Baby!”!!!! What you might not know is that rearranging living room furniture in my house means that a piano has to be moved over carpet – NOT TOO EASY!!! Anyway, we managed to get it completely done with about 10 minutes to spare (Jason and I are a GREAT design team, and we work great together on this stuff!!!)
Girls night was fun; drinks, chatting, giggling, chic-flick, magazines, dinner – you know, the usual!!! Well one of my girlfriends stayed the night so that we could go up to the outlet mall and spend the day shopping with another one of our girlfriends that we met up with later in the day, and man-oh-man!!! No wonder they are so small – WE WALKED FOR HOURS!!!! WHEW!!! Don’t get me wrong, I had a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat, but at one point I was just praying for ANYPLACE to sit to get off of my tired feet!!! I did manage to find a treasure that day – it was a Liz Claiborne winter coat that was originally $175, marked down to $99, then again to $54, and I got it for 50% from that!!!! WHOOOOO! HOOOOO!!!! I didn’t even know that Liz Claiborne made plus-sized clothing, but they do!!! YEAH!! I will be going there again, and again, and again, and again!!! 🙂
Sunday: well flashback to Friday night, my best friend Dawn (we’ve been best friends since we were both 12) was helping motivate me to get some unfinished projects in my house completed, and I promised her that I would do one project from start to finish on Sunday – so Sunday came. Now, my husband and I live in a small condo townhouse, and have for a little over 3 years. The place has had all sorts of remodeling done, mostly by my husband, and one of the things that has been bugging me is that he built me this beautifully walk-in closet/dressing room that I have completely outgrown!!! (CONFESSION: I am a little bit of a fashion-hoar!!!) Anyway, he and I spent the day hanging shelves, installing rods, moving bookcases and reorganizing and purging clothes, shoes, boots, jewelry, accessories, bags, purses, so that I only kept the things that I absolutely LOVED!!! So, by the time Sunday night hit – the closet was looking like my own little personal fashion boutique and I was spent!!!
I awoke at 3am that morning, sure that I had dreamed the closet makeover, and I had to get up just to check – OH MY GOSH! IT WASN’T A DREAM!!!! YES! YES! YESSSSS!!! 😉
Well, I was soooo excited that it was done that I then couldn’t sleep, so I decided to read a little bit to see if that would make me tired! Two hours later of reading Bridget Jones Diary and I finally fell back to sleep!!! HA! HA! HA!!!
OK, I am back to work – all is going well!!! Weigh in day is tomorrow morning, and I am praying for a loss, but I will keep you posted!!!
Jason and I are also going camping, at the beach, with my sister-in-law and our niece and 2 nephews on Thursday, and will not be back until Sunday night!!! So I will be away for a bit, but I will be back!! I can’t wait to tell you all about it – I know it will be a BLAST!!!
Anyway, I miss all of you – I hope you are still out there!?!?!?! I will see what I can do about posting some pics from me NEW walk-in closet this evening!!! 😉
