Feelin Feminine Day 1&2

Blouse- Fashion Bug
Skirt- Lane Bryant
Shoes- Walmart

Okay, so I have been reading this blog called "The Faithful Fashionista." She challenged all of her readers to a "Feelin' Feminine Challenge" She challenged her readers to wear dresses and skirts for one week. I am still unsure of the purpose of this challenge, but she says that it will help you to view your closet differently and rediscover the feeling of feminity by appreciating modest feminine fashion. I don't know that I will experience all of that in my week of skirt wearing, but I do know that this is a big week for me. On Thursday night I have my Mary Kay intro party. I feel that while promoting my new adventure I can and should look my best. I find that looking my best gives me confidence to pursue this dream and will in turn tell my possible clients that I care about myself enough to share my beauty tricks with you. So...here goes. This week, (work week) I will wear only skirts and dresses. Each day I will look different and try to be at my best. I'm currently on day two and I already feel better about myself. I have taken pictures of my outfits, but I have to admit that I really have issues looking at myself since I have gained back all the weight I lost last year, maybe this will also give me the motivation to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! Okay so here goes.

Setting Goals

So I have been doing a lot of thinking about my life lately. You know when you have that epiphany that you need a total life makeover! That is how I have been feeling. Michael told me the other day that he wants to do bible study together, he has also mentioned a time or two about how nice it would be if I could keep the house up and fix dinner a little more often. When I was in school, it was really hard for me to keep dinner on the table and the house picked up. I felt like I was run ragged with all the stuff that was going on. Since I am finished with school and getting on a better schedule, I figure now is the time to make some goals. I have some total life makeover goals in mind, but anybody can tell you that when you are setting goals it's important to start small. So here goes, I am going to make a short term goal for this week. This week I am starting out with a clean slate, there are no dirty dishes, no dirty clothes and the house is actually company presentable, lived in, but company presentable. This week I am going to make an effort to keep the house up. Every night after dinner this week I will wash dishes and straighten up the living room. I will have meals planned and prepared for every night this week, and I will at least do one load of laundry this week. (I know all you mommies out there are thinking ONE LOAD???, but there are only two of us...and ICT isn't near as dirty as Hobby Lobby) pray for me that I can meet my goals this week! I know that making these things a priority will in the end make my life much simpler and leave me with more time to spend with my hubby and just relaxin instead of worrying about my house! Later on I will tell you about some of the other more long term goals I would like to set for Michael and I.

Needs....

I have felt kinda down today...all day. (Maybe it's in the air...) I realize that there are many things that I need in my life. In fact, I think that I need someone to whip me into shape and remind me daily what I need. I feel convicted, I need to spend more time with God. I love God and I love serving him, but I do not spend near enough time with him. There are so many issues in my life and I need him in order to sort them out. As I have said earlier I am job hunting. I need a better job, both for monetary and sanity reasons. Why am I not trusting God to provide it? Instead I worry and worry and worry until I make myself sick.
I havn't said much yet about infertility yet, but I worry about it constantly. I desire so bad to be a mother...why am I not trusting God to take care of it? I know I know, you're probably thinking this girl is crazy....I know I am, but I am a child of God and he cares to know about my every desire. Now if only I could get myself to share with him like I should.

Job Interviews....

So this morning I drug myself out of bed at 5:30am, did you hear that 5:30AM.I got all dolled up and headed out the door.It was so not fun. No time for coffee, breakfast nothing. Then I get to my interview and quickly realize that everyone in Little Rock has an interview at AT&T this morning. The whole process at AT&T is a bit exhausting, but it sounds like a great job. I hope that I get get a one on one interview. Now starts the mad dash to do some homework and get something to eat before work!
