AHHHHHcomplishments

Wow, I am pretty darned impressed with myself. I am having an "I am woman hear me roar moment" Today I woke up feeling refreshed finally after getting some fantastic cough syrup with codeine from the doc. In the 8 1/2 hours that I have been up I have, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, washed the things that don't fit in, taken out the garbage in the kitchen and bathroom, vacuumed the floor, done laundry, rearranged my living room, taken a stroller for donation to the women's home just up the road from me, played with Boston and eaten a great salad. Now Boston is napping and I am thinking of what in the world we will do tomorrow since the chores are done.

I am going to have to get creative because we are short on funds. I am hoping it is just as gorgeous tomorrow as it was today and maybe we'll go to Silver Falls or to a park around here. It'll be good to get out and play. These last two weeks of illness have truly given me cabin fever.

I was excited to get out for a couple of hours last night and go to the movies. I wish we had taken a little more time and done dinner or cocktails. I miss being able to socialize with the grown ups. I long for dinner get togethers and game nights. I know they sound a little retro but I dig retro and I like inexpensive entertainment :)

I am hoping to hear back soon about my taxes. I REALLY want to get my elliptical machine. (although now that I rearranged my living room looks much bigger but I'm not sure exactly where I will put the machine now haha. Oh well I will find a space. I suppose the nice thing about doing my taxes myself is I got to see right away what my return is. But I am extremely appreciative of my sis-in-law's mom who does my taxes for me. I trust that she is getting me my maximum refund.

so I am nearly 30 days into the start of "project me" and so far so good. I have had a few introspective days recently discovering why it is I am such a terrible dater. I HATE dating. I love flirting and I like the excitement of getting the butterflies while talking/texting someone but I am terrible at playing the game. I swear I need my own Hitch lol. Ah well. It'll all roll itself out.

Potato and cheddar soup for dinner, I think I may go and make some biscuits to go with. I had a large salad for lunch so I have quite a few calories left to get in :) I felt a little guilty for my nearly 1300 calorie meal at dinner. Cinebarre is great fun, but it is so hard to resist burgers and fries and fried pickles.

18 days and I will be 29. Then 1 more year of this project. I am soooo excited for this year to come :)
