Sunday, June 17

Sorry, I've had that song running in my head most of the weekend and I.CAN'T.GET.IT.OUT. Trust me, it hasn't been pretty around here, what, with the hair flicking and jutting pelvis. Oh, and we mustn't forget THE WALK. I own it baby! My kids think I've completely lost it, and I'm beginning to think they just may be right.

Moo-ving right along.

It's been a good, albeit hectic weekend. I worked on my Friday off, then went and got my hair done. This time I opted for something shorter (not seriously short, but something shorter than I normally have), and I gots me some hilites. I really love it. The hilites are a bit lighter that I normally do, but it looks really good. The cut is "sassy" according to Chickie and I would tend to agree with her.

After I got off work on Saturday I went shopping (SHOPPING!) with my girlfriend, and people, I SCORED. They were having these huge Father's Days sales and I made out like a one-armed bandit. I really needed some tops for the summer. I can make do with the pants/skirts I have but I was seriously short on the tops. I was lucky enough to get some really good deals. I even picked up some earrings as well as a fun watch, which has alot of colors in it, which coincidentally, match alot of the clothes I bought. It's just a fun watch, and I was only out of pocket about $4.00 (normally $25).

Besides the hair and clothes (SCORE!), I also did my fingernails and toenails. It went a long way to making me feel better about myself. I'm evening thinking about perhaps wearing some makeup tomorrow, if I can get myself to do it. It's been a long time since I've even THOUGHT about that, and clearly people, it's something I should be doing.

I'm not miraculously healed but have dug pretty deep inside and figured that I needed to get off of my duff and DO something in order to help out. Chances are, I'll be put on some medication, at least for anxiety (but who knows?), but if I can help myself out in any other way, I'm all for it. Even if my mind screams at me the entire time. Quite frankly, my mind knows alot of words I've never even heard of. It's scary. This might only be a blip on the radar. I may slide back down into the hole tomorrow, and quite frankly, that's ok. If I can get a little bit of "upness" (is that a word?) I'm all for it. I will take advantage of it because I really, really, really need something to tell me I am going to be fine. I know I will be, but my brain is totally not buying into the game.

Have a fantastic evening everyone. I've got the steaks marinating, and we'll be having baked potatoes, corn and a salad for Father's Day dinner. It was my husband's request, and he deserves the very best. Tonight, I'm determined to give it to him. I'll worry about what tomorrow brings when it comes.

PS: You knew this was coming didn't you? Blog Fodder #21 is up. I know I'll see you there.

I am so SO happy for you - you sound like a NEW woman. It's great that you're being proactive and actually trying to jump-start some goodness for yourself.

Like Jay said, being proactive can make all the difference. Keep it up, Moogie!

That Father's Day dinner sounds great. Yum.

Sounds like an excellent weekend, Moogie honey. A bit of pampering, a bit of shopping and steak and corn with your wonderful husband....

Perhaps come payday I'll push the boat out along similar lines :-)

I'll fodder this week, I promise......

It's amazing what a bit of attention on yourself can do :) You sound great. I very much sympathise with how you are feeling as that is pretty much where I am at the moment too. I seem to be swimming in treacle and my mind is not co-operating on the feeling fine thing either.

You will be though and so will I. I'm thinking I need me some of that retail therapy too. And maybe a facial or massage too :)
