HAPPIES

 

1. New floors installed in the house! Yay new floors. No more gapping, cracking, splitting, etc... The pups slide all over them, its wonderful

 

2. The fabulous yellow Kay Unger dress I am sporting today. Its raining and this yellow makes me happy.

 

 

 

3. Finally got someone to hang the curtains in my bedroom :)

 

4. Lunch with K just seems to brighten my day and helps me put things in perspective.

 

5. The impromptu trip to Waco to meet my mom and get the pups & the giant whoopee pie I ate from the Czech Stop in West.

 

6. That text you get that just melts your heart and is just what you needed at the moment.

 

7. Birthdays! Yay for Frank's bday poker tourney tonight and Laura's bday dinner Tuesday! Seriously, I have some of the best friends.

 

CRAPPIES

 

1. Texting while wining (I should not be allowed to text while I engage in wine and girl talk)

 

2. Trying to appease 4 partners at one time and do it all with a smile and getting it all right the first time.

 

3. Making tough decisions that you don't want to make but know you have to... yeah those

 

4. dessert as in when it stays on my hips because I have eaten too much of it.... yeah the cake must go!

 

5. Not knowing. I know this is vague people, but yes, I hate not knowing and waiting and the limbo of life.

Happies & Crappies

 

Aww Friday, Thank you! I have never needed this weekend more than I feel like I need I this week. So let's see what's been up with me:

 

Happies:

 

1. I. BOUGHT. A. HOUSE. Yes, my option period ended yesterday (after one extension) and I have a house. I close July 10th and well y'all Ill be taking off my big girl pants now and playing baby the rest of the weekend.

 

2. I leave for the beach in 16 days! Yes you heard me 16 of them. In 16 days I will be on the beach with my a$$ in the sand doing nothing.

 

3. I have the most amazing friends. Seriously they are so loving and supportive and there whenever I need them.

 

4. This lil man is turning 4! Happy Birthday Alexander!

 

5. My sweet Chloe will be 3 tomorrow!!!

 

Crappies:

1. Mother nature sucks. As in storms that keep me up and once a month happenings that keep me feeling like a small alien is stabbing me in my uterus, repeatedly.

2. See above. (its deserving of a double crappy)

3. Project get skinny is not going so well...

4. I am going to miss my nephews birthday party due to crazy schedule this weekend of pageant stuff and weddings.

5. Work is super stressful and about to kill me.

6. STRESS!!! Is everywhere right now. I am a little overwhelmed by all the decisions and indecisions that have been heavy on my heart and mind these last 5 months. I am hoping that the house ends these things and clarity and joy return to this little heart of mine (oh and the weight comes off...)

What did you week look like?

 

Happies & Crappies

  Guess what? It's Friday!! And how sweet this Friday is! The sun is up, the birds are chirping (granted it was a tad colder than I expected), but today is a great day! And what better way to end the work week then to let it out and let it go!  

HAPPIES:

 

1. ONE BILLION RISING - Remember I told y'all I filmed a small PSA for Safe Haven of Tarrant County? Well, here it is:

 

 

 

2. RUNNING - I have totally gotten back into running, as in outside, hitting the pavement, 4-5 miles of just the road, God and me. I feel so empowered after a good run. Find your passion and stick to it.

 

3. SLEEP - It has returned! My mind has finally turned off enough to let me sleep at night. Alas, hear the bells chime, the birds sing, enter angels.... ok , but seriously, its a joyous occasion indeed!

 

4. FEBRUARY - For two reasons, 1. short month and 2. reason to buy and eat decadent chocolate.

 

5. CAPTIVATING - As in the book, it is moving. It is a must read for every woman, no matter what stage of life; married or single, believer or not. I highly recommend.

 

 

 

CRAPPIES:

 

1. SLOW - I have been rather slow at work, which makes the days drag on and makes me bored and then I eat and then well, yeah its just one long downhill slide....

 

2. FEAR - Let it go people! I have been gripped by fear for so long. I was motivated by it, moved by it, let it control my actions. And fear of everything... present, past, future. Learning to let it go and listen to my voice has been freeing!

 

FDR (and well yeah spiders are just scary)

That's it! Finito! Done! Have a great Friday and glorious weekend!

Thoughts on a Friday

There have just gotten to be so many link ups for Fridays that I have decided to try each one each Friday. So this week I will be joining happies & crappies! But do not forget about Leslie's Confessional Friday or Messy.Dirty.Hair's Fearless Fashion Friday! But for me, this week, I need to dish!

Happies: Federal court case set for trial Feb11th? SETTLED!; Convinced boss to move into 21st century and review docs electronically!; breakthrough in my personal life; latte every morning; lost 4 pounds; cute new clothes; 70+ degree weather in Texas!; the fabu chocolate chip cookies that arrived in my mailbox yesterday courtesy of my Tay!; realizing that I am a grown up and I do not have to answer to anyone except myself and God!

Crappies: Funk at work where I tend to stare into the distance and lose about an hour; traffic... everyday of my life (seriously get with it NTTA); the fog this morning and people using their brights in it; dealing with emotions that have been building for 30 years; that the weekend is only 2 days....

But, its Friday y'all! So enjoy!!
