Wish it were Sunday, Cause that's my fun day....Just another Manic.........

MONDAY!!


So Sunday was so much fun I can hardly make it through today!

My morning started out with a lowest low for me. 184.7 Yep. That makes it 10lbs till my first BIG goal. That is big. BIG.

Then I logged on to my email and I, for the month of August, was 22nd in the NATION for having the highest sales in a single event for Stella & Dot. That was my fashion show, ya'll. I can't believe it. Now I have to keep in mind that I live in a small place and it is hard to make big sales and I have to work hard! But I was recognized and it just makes me feel good that my hard work worked out!

Then I got on the road to meet Lynda for shopping! She lives about an hour and I live about 2 from where we decided to shop! I stopped on the way at a Starbucks and ordered a Strawberry Banana protein shake and a tall pumpkin latte. Not sure why I am telling you about this but it made me happy so it was my good day continued!

Lynda and I met and dived right into shopping! RIGHT AWAY we both hit good clothes! The first pair of jeans I tried were a 14. Are you effing kidding me?? I don't think I have been a 14 since college. I am thrilled to the moon.

She and I tried many things on and there were many MANY things bought. 8 hours of non stop shopping with a tiny lunch break. We ended the day by going to DSW for shoes. I was going to finish strong and I did but not as well as Lynda did in the shoe department. She ended the day with 5 pairs and I ended with 2. BUT we both bought so really stinkin' hot heels. I blame all of you heel girls...Draz and Steph come to mind right away..I have this fascination of buying great heels now. I get to wear heels rarely but I am having a whole lot of fun getting compliments on my fabulous shoes.

So yesterday was a fantastic day all around!

Last week we started two projects. One: my front door, back door, garage door, and Chris drum studio door were all being painted! Those who know my style know I am a bold color kinda girl. Think Matisse colors. I chose a BOLD blue color.
The doors were finally hung and since I got home after 9 last night from shopping the day away I haven't seen them! I hope the blue is what I want!

Project 2: my kitchen is being remodeled. A year ago I got a professional series stove. It has been sitting in storage since! Damnit. Anyway...we finally started the process. Friday all my doors came off my cabinets..today I have to take all the "stuff out" and find a home for all of it for the next few weeks! So now I have no oven/stove and no microwave. Haven't decided what to do for dinner. It didn't occur to me until right this moment. I shoulda got the crock pot out (I always digress). I am ordering counter tops today. I picked out some FABULOUS corian. Then I priced it out. $2500 for my tiny ass kitchen. That would be a big fat no. I can't afford that! So I have to go pick something different today. I have to actually ORDER it today. Then starts the painting...and the flooring....and wow..I am super excited!



I've had two cups of coffee and about 1/2 cup of taco salad and wired. But I had so much fun yesterday and it makes me even more excited about Chicago.


Kisses my little  Asters.

P.S...I was back up to 185.6 after my below 185 yesterday! But I still count it.
