sorry for the second post

My husband just walked out with breakfast for me. I didn’t ask for it, but he really wants me to eat. Weird. Not sure what that is about. Honestly, I think it bothers him that I don’t eat breakfast. Whenever he asks me if I want it, I say no, so I guess he decided to not give me the option this time.

High Ho, High Ho

It’s back to work I go. My husband and his partner are not happy with their processor. She is, however, a good salesperson. They have asked her to change positions, and have asked that I step in until they find a replacement for her. I have agreed to help them out for a bit. Who knows, I may end up staying. We’ll see.

I start tomorrow and while it will be nice in some aspects, I’m not looking forward to getting up at 6:00, again. I have enjoyed sleeping in until 8:00 everyday. Selfish, I know. They need help, and I am good for the job, having been a mortgage processor for quite a long time.

I’m a little concerned about the eating thing. My husband is excited that we will get to have lunch together. All I can think about is finding healthy restaurants. Of course, it means I will eat, which is a good thing. I’m still struggling with that. Hopefully, it will all go well.

One would think I’m obsessed

I swear shopping is not normally such a part of my life. My problem is, I want to get everything for everyone, which of course, I can’t. Technically, I could, but then I would be paying it off for the next year. That’s no fun. I have to try and finish my shopping today, and I am having horrible cramps, which makes no sense, because I am way past the cramps stage. Not sure what is going on with my body, but I just want to take a nice hot bath (something that is an obsession) and curl up in bed, but I so badly want this shopping stuff to be done. I certainly don’t do well with my eating when I am out and about for hours on end….see previous post about eating out twice in one day. I need to eat something, and get out. Plus, I think my housekeeper prefers when I’m gone…I’m not in her way.

I just need to eat a good breakfast and then finish up the shopping before lunch and I will be set. Wish me luck. Once this shopping business is over, I’ll move on from it, I promise.

ETA: Good grief…never left the house and now I have to go pick up my girls from school. I sat here for the whole morning, editing a slideshow I am doing for my best friend. It did turn out nearly perfect, but I can’t leave well enough alone. I edited it down to the picture changing on the exact words of the song….need to either get a life, or do this for a living. No shopping today. damn.it.

Setting the record straight

In case any of you don’t know….I HATE SHOPPING!!!! I love Christmas and I love the appreciation I get from the recipients of my gifts, but I wish I could hire a shopper. Actually, that wouldn’t really help enough, because I hate having to pick things out. I just don’t like it.

Anyway, my oldest daughter and I ventured out on Saturday ( I tend to drag her with me a lot). It was POURING down raing and at one point, I looked like I had just gotten out of the shower. We ended up having a really good time, but we were out so long, that we ended up eating out for lunch and dinner. Not good. I’m afraid to step on the scale.

I did get my christmas tree today. Normally, my husband pulls out the fake tree that we got the first year we were married. It’s become a family joke, because it is covered in duct tape, and no matter how much he reinforces it, it still leans. Anyway, being that he was on a business trip and didn’t get back until this evening, we went and bought a real tree. Of course, I couldn’t find the gorgeous tree stand that we bought the one other year I convinced him to get a real tree, so he came home to the tree sitting outside, leaned up against the house, sitting in a pot of water. He took it all in stride, though, and is actually pleased. PHEW!!!! No Charlie Brown Christmas tree for us this year!

I will dreadfully do my weigh in tomorrow and report the results. I really need to get it together.
