Dreaming

Okay so I know its been a while since I have posted a blog, but the truth is I have been busy...and my new job, that I actually kinda like keeps me at the computer all day and I don't have as much desire to mess with it at night. So anyway, a lot is going on. About 2 weeks and a half ago I noticed that my left pinky finger and ring finger were numb. I let it go for about a week until I totally realized that I was having trouble opening jars and doors because of this strange sensation and that my arm feels like it weighs about a thousand pounds, so I finally went to the doc. She poked and prodded and told me that I have Ulnar nerve damage, caused by sleeping on my hands most likely and that I need to go to a nerve specialist and possibly a OT/PT. So Thursday next week I get to go to the specialist and let him zap me. Meanwhile, any activity that involves a lot of movement with my left hand makes my arm feel like it weighs a thousand pounds!
Today however I am dreaming of something very nice.


Next year, the year that we hit the big 5 I want to go on a cruise. Marian, my Mary Kay sales director challenged us to set a goal. She also challenged us to set a goal that has an end, so my goal for next year is to go on a cruise. Today I am dreaming of that cruise! I have this dream that we will be able to fly into Los Angeles, rent a car and drive up the coast, visit some friends for a day or so and then drive to port and go on our cruise! Isn't that such a fun thing to dream about??? My family has been talking about taking a cruise together forever, I'm making a goal to make that a reality this time next year. I know what you are thinking, you don't want to take family on an anniversary trip, but I have heard that there is so much to do on the ship that you may not see anyone you know for hours! I can't wait!!

Today is a good day!!

Today has been a VERY good day. I just thought that I would share. Today was the day I decided I was going to make myself be good to myself. I woke up early and got ready for work. I started my day out very prepared! I was prepared to eat healthy all day, and I took a pair of socks and tennis shoes so that I could go for a walk after work. I even remembered my headphones, I never thought I would say this, but Thank god for whoever it is that created the iPod. So after work I went over to Don Owens sports complex and walked the track for 40 minutes and listened to some music while reflecting on the amazing life God has given me. I love worship music, it helps me to keep my life in perspective! It felt so good to do something good for me. While I was walking I realized that I hadn't really heard from Michael all day, so I kept trying to call but he didn't answer. Also while I was walking I decided what I was going to make for supper. I made a quick run to Kroger for a tomato and some fat free sour cream and then headed home to fix supper for the hubby. Before I made it home Michale called to tell me that there was a mail box full of goodies! Wanna know what came in???? Drum roll please.....

I was so excited! It's official, I am an educated woman, and genuine college graduate, and I have that stupid piece of paper to prove it!!! I know...it's silly, but I am so proud of it! Can't wait to find it a permanent home. I also got a graduation card from June! Thanks June, I was just kidding when I teased you about sending me one! It was a beautiful card and I loved it!

I'm so excited about the wonderful day I have had and am praying that tomorrow will be just as joyful!

Day 4 and 5 of feelin feminine and more

So...I did wear a dress yesterday, it was even a really cute one...however I was so disheveled by the time I got home last night that the picture I took looked terrible...so I am not going to share. It was a cute black dress with turquoise polka dots. It has a collar and cap sleeve and a belt. I bought it at Lane Bryant last year for a funeral. I feel classic when I wear it and it makes me feel good! Today....was dress down Friday. ....so......I wore jeans...I admit it...I totally wore jeans. Please forgive me ladies, I love to wear dresses, but I just don't find them comfy...so I took advantage of dress down Friday.


Okay, so moving on, today I finally went back to a normal people schedule it went by very fast, but got off to a rough start. However, I told myself that just because it started out rough that it didn't have to stay rough, things really brightened up later in the day and I really did actually enjoy work today. I have been trying really hard to talk myself into getting back into the swing of things with my diet when my schedule went to normal, so today when Michael spend our life savings...I mean went to the grocery store I tried to buy some healthier food. We are going to try Carrie's chile burgers and I got some Ronzoni noodles. Yoplait light is always on my favorite diet foods, it's the only diet yogurt that tastes real! We also got some fresh veggies to make skewers out of and we also got some stuff to grill, cuz I loves me some grilled meat. So next week I am going to make it my goal to try to eat healthy next week and to walk at least three days out of the week. I have some work to do to catch up to Carrie who has already lost almost 10lbs. Way to go Carrie! I hope that I can reach the kind of dedication she has.
