All Things Woompty

I've seen some pretty funny billboards lately, but I can't remember any of them now

I should be in bed right now. I seem to be saying that to myself every night these days.

Every time I think I can't possibly get any busier, something comes along to force me to be busier. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining because I'm not. I'm busier than I've ever been before but I am happier than I've ever been. It's like stress is some kind of tonic for me.

This weekend I actually spent most of a day by myself. I woke up at 7 and headed out to my weekly WW meeting, then it was off to the credit union to open the JournalCon bank account, then down to the post office to open the PO Box, and then straight to Macy's in search of the perfect moisturizer and the perfect daily lipstick. And I found both at the Clinique counter, where I was helped by a remarkably pregnant salesgirl who whipped out a lipstick called Surprise that looked like a way too shimmery, way too bronzy brown color but I whipped that stuff on and adored it. Add in their moisturizing gel stuff I bought and I was a happy, happy princess.

And after stocking up on princess supplies, I headed to The Container Store, because I had gotten one of their sale flyers last week and my GOD, it was like getting housekeeping porn in the mail. Kris and I drooled over it together and I had grand visions of buying all kinds of shelves and baskets and racks and finally getting my kitchen into some kind of workable condition because my cabinets were regularly leaving me throwing small tantrums when I was trying to prepare a meal. I restrained myself while I was there though, getting just enough to get my drawers organized and get my horrifically messy bathroom more organized.

And then I came home and threw away roughly two tons of unnecessary cabinet dwelling bottles, cans and other assorted crap, and after that I passed out because man, it was 2:00 and I had done more errands than I usually do in a week.

The rest of the weekend was lazy...spent time with Kris since she's moving in a week. But she's moving to VEGAS. I'm going to have free room and board in Vegas whenever I feel like hopping in the car and driving out there. How awesome is that? She's also decided that my bachelorette party will be taking place there so...yeah, there's that. But I'm still going to miss her something fierce. She's feisty and stubborn and needs to listen to her friends more often, but she would say the same thing of me. But she'll be back for my birthday next month and she'll be back for the walk and she's only a few hours away.

And just for the record...JournalCon has officially taken over more of my brain that the wedding has. At this point, work only occupies about .5% of my brainspace. But don't tell my boss, okay?
