Well Christmas is less than a week away, and I'm not really ready.
I have 30 pounds to loose, 4" that my hair needs to grow to make this hair style work, and well....presents to wrap, baking to finish and a house to clean.
Work? Work!?! Oh, yeah, better do that too. So this morning when I woke up with a huge smile on my face and my mind a whirl I knew it was just going to be a random day.
So this is just a post of my random thoughts.
1) I am so blessed. Really. I know you are probably sick of hearing that, but I have to say it. Because it's truer than you know. It's almost always my first thought of the morning.
2) Last night I had the BEST evening. I had a chance to finally catch up with my dear friend LeeAnn. It has been TOO long since we've just talked together. The only thing that would have made it better was if we were sitting together in her living drinking those yummy sounding mint chocolate martinis. We brought each other up to date on what's going on in our lives and minds. Laughed, got all sappy and well....just generally listened to each other. Ohhhh it really was wonderful.
3) I don't know if I will ever be able to go back to a "regular" job. Folks....I took a nap yesterday. I needed it so badly, and I just fell asleep. And I didn't get in trouble. I start my days so early, and I deal with issues as soon as they come up - so it's not like I don't put in a 50+ hour week. It's just on my terms. And I really like that......
4) Step away from the peanut brittle. Holy Moly. I have enough peanut brittle made that I could leave a bag on every door in THE Valley and still have some left. It's just so easy to make, and I mistakenly bought WAY too much stuff, so even without knowing it, I've got a batch going. I need to stop now. It's almost embarrassing....
5) I'm really not taking very good care of myself. I'm not sleeping all that well, and even though I'm drinking plenty of water, I'm not eating good enough for that to make a big difference. I need to really bring myself back into line. I'm kinda bloated. And that's not really a good look for me. I realized it when I was trying to make the video wishing our troops Merry Christmas and saying thank you. I ended up just filming my Christmas tree and talking.......Yeah....gonna need to fix that.
6) What a crazy year 2007 turned out to be. Last year this time if you had told me I'd be living HERE doing what I'm doing I'd have laughed at you. Just another reminder to never say never....
OK - time to make the donuts. There are reports to finish, emails to send and the world to save - one mattress at a time. Not to mention cookies to bake and fudge to finish.
It's the Wednesday before Christmas. Can you believe it?!?!?

FIVE days left? I'm not finished, either. Haven't started baking, but with the girl bringing me Dunkin Donuts crap every day, why would I need anything else?? Ugh.
But, like you... I feel very blessed. :D
