Today I am wearing my totally cute Michael Kors sandals I scored for 50% off at Macys last weekend.  They felt good at Macys, the felt good at my house, but then walking the kids into camp they were slipping from my feet a bit, and now I am realizing they are too big because anytime I have to walk more than 10 consecutive steps, they start to slip.  Grrr!  Now I am pissed because I have worn them outside and cannot return them, and I really LOVE them and want them!  This is the problem when sandals only come in full sizes and you are a 1/2 size. 

3 days till vacation.  I am making progress down my list.  Yesterday I mopped all the floors, made a couple phone calls, made my moms calender/phone list/flight info (she likes to have all that in one place when I am traveling), made the base for the homemade butter almond ice cream for her post-birthday surprise.  Dinner was Gorton’s Garlic Butter tilapia (I think Gorton’s - that is the one in the yellow box, right?) and it was pretty good for a frozen thingy!  But small, I could have easily eaten the 2 servings in the box (and they were only 80 calories each) but DD had the other pc.  And I did my kickboxing class too, which I really realllllllly had to TALK myself into going to, but I did, and was glad I did! 

Today is wrapping up work, then taking kids on the train to XH’s in NYC.  I was going to stop in Sephora while down there, but decided not to waste the time so I am getting right back on the train to get back home around 9 pm.  Then, it is off to Walmart for a late night gargantuan shopping trip.  I hate Walmart.  It’s just gross.  But it has everything I need, and admittedly, the best price on it.  Blech.  I will be lucky to get home by 11-12, and then I have to freeze mom’s ice cream and put everything away, organizing the pantry a bit.

Up early Saturday, must cut alllllll the grass and trim around the yard.  I just realize it might rain.  @$@#$!  What will I do if it rains all weekend?  My mom can’t cut the grass, I have been purposely waiting till RIGHT before I leave and it is already overdue, so it can’t wait another week.  Great.  12 o’clock pedicure and eyebrow wax, then two stores to return stuff and last minute vacation shopping.  Saturday evening, back home to finish up packing, and start prepping Sunday’s BBQ. 

I just realized I have no exercise in there.   I really have no time, but I would hate to not take advantage of the last two days before I leave.  I suppose if I can’t cut the grass due to weather, then I can take advantage of popping in a DVD at home.

Food:

  • Breakfast: Toaster Strudel.  Nothing was appealing to me.
  • Snack: Banana
  • Lunch: LC Panini
  • Snack: Apple
  • Dinner: Sushi and Starbucks on the train

Have to put a stitch in a vacation dress … need to text myself that, lmao.  It has a big open back and I couldn’t find a suitable bra, and I need to go braless (which I actually can do, thanks to Dr. M, even though I am still totally freaking out and uncomfortable with) … but I need to take the halter strap in a bit.

Ate too many baked tostitos again last night, I don’t know why I have been so snacky this week.  WI was 147.0 though, so down a teeny bit.  Nice.

Okay, I will try to get here over the weekend, but if not … I will be HERE all week:

 

 And will return the 31st!  HUGS!
