Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kmp1191]

Thanks Kim & Anna....and everyone else!
Come on down for Mothers Day....I can't wait!!! Mom already said she didn't want to go for M-day brunch...I said good, cuz we're going for M-day Mexican on Saturday night!!! She said she's ready for it!!

OMG....Kim...you know me so well!!! I am LITERALLY coming out of my skin right now!!! I already changed the ring tone on my cell phone to "Sweet Home Alabama", and I have to remember to put it on vibrate when I'm at work!! I want to stand on my desk and yell "I'M OUTTA HERE!!!" I called my dad and told him I've been doing the snoopy dance...(he knew what I meant, but mom didn't.) It is SO hard remaining calm at work, but I can do it....for now!!

Ok...so DH and I hauled 2 loads to the storage unit!! I found a bunch more stuff I am going to sell at my neighbors garage sale. I know I'll get some grief for this, but I'm going to sell the treadmill. I don't use it as much anymore, plus I LOVE the outside walks so much more! Also, once we get moved and settled, we will get a pretty decent discount at the local rec club, so I can work out there as well.
Let's see, what else....DH will leave tomorrow afternoon, and I will clean like a madwoman on Wednesday night! I get so much more done when he's not here....go figure!!

Ok....ya'll have a great evening and a happy Wednesday!!

Do you have a gun rack for your truck? It goes right under the confederate flag. I kid. Really , I kid.

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

AWESOME!!!

I am SO excited for you!! It is a good thing you have been bustin' it getting your house in order! End of the month! WOW! Gonna be busy! BUT, You can do it cause you are Seriously motivated!

I'm so glad you are getting out of a place you Dislike and getting to somewhere you actually want to be! That makes a Huge difference!

I think you are going to get plenty of exercise with all the cleaning and moving and lifting you are gonna be doing. Just try to hang in there with your eating and you'll be fine.

Have a Wonderful week!!

I didn't sleep AT ALL last night!!! I cleaned until 11:30, then crawled into bed, dog started whining at 1:15...let him out....let him back in at 2:30, then for some stupid reason my alarm was set for 4!!! WTH!!! So, needless to say....it's gonna be a LOOOONNNNG day!!

Oh, and I'm going to TRY not to tell my boss until tomorrow afternoon....really send her over the edge on a Friday afternoon....

Oh...one more thing....my co-worker Bettye is having knee surgery today.....send some PD & prayers her way. She's 70, and really scared about it.

AWESOME NEWS MARIE!

I am so very happy for you and your family!

Have a wonderful day!

Hey guys....just a quickie post tonight...extremely tired!
I have photo shoots all weekend....won't see the family again until Monday. (tomorrow 2 shoots...9-2 & 5-12) (Sunday-1-8) I did talk to the photog boss and told him no more. I have a few more weddings scheduled, but other than that, I'm done for now. He knows how much I have to do, and that I need time now more than anything. He's ok with it. (not really ok, but understanding)
Also talked to the Boss Lady today. I told her we needed to go to lunch! Told her what was up, and we're gonna talk some more next week. She understood everything....not really giving her a resignation notice yet, but it will be coming, and basically giving her a heads up. She is going to start working on a game plan for my job. (it's not a typical job...lots of little things to get the big thing...very detail oriented too!) So, otherwise, all it good.
I've also decided that Jenny Craig is gonna have to go on hold for the time being also. I changed my time to 8 tomorrow, but won't even be able to make that because of the photo shoot. I know I'm really going to have to watch it these next few weeks/months. Emotional eating/stress eating....I've just got to be on my best behavior and really pay attention to what I'm putting in my mouth. I think I'll be ok. (keep an eye on me guys....I need you now more than ever!!) I'm going to start logging my food every day again. keep me straight!!!

ok....i'm really having a hard time keeping my eyes open right now....plus i have to go get 2 outfits ready for tomorrow....
see ya..... sunday...monday....soon!!

Have a great weekend girl. Sounds like you're gonna be working your thang off.

I bet you feel better now, telling both of your bosses the deal about what's coming up. I'm sure they appreciate it too.

We won't let you fall off the wagon. Take care, and stay accountable.

[kimwim8]

Darn girl.....it's scary how LITTLE you ate over the past 2 days!!! Completely NOT healthy!! Get some food in you NOW!!!

If I could hop on a plane right now, your house would be my first choice of a destination.

Hang in there....it's ALL gonna be over soon!! Then you'll have a new house to play in and set all up!

Oh, and CONGRATS on the loss!!!

 

[CACruisin']

Congrats on the Loss! Wow, you did have a crazy weekend though. I thought you were about done with the photog stuff? Hang in there and hopefully this week will be a bit calmer -- ok, that was silly. You are getting ready to move! Anyway, hopefully, you can find some time to get stuff done that you want to do - and get something to EAT too!

 

[kmp1191]

Mornin' ladies!
I survived the weekend!! My head hit the pillow Sunday night and I didn't move!! Yesterday was a little rough, but I think I'm caught up now with sleep now!

I have a real estate agent coming on Wednesday and I'm no where near ready for her! I spent last night cleaning closets and bathroom cabinets. Tonight I need to work on the house in general,(sweep, mop,dust,wipe,wash,toss.....you know....basic cleaning that my kids/DH don't understand the concept of!)
Then I also have to get the kitchen cabinets and pantry cleaned out and organized. A little bit every night and I'll get there!!

I am SOOOO looking forward to this weekend!!! My mom and sister are coming!!! We are going to go re-sale shopping, and we are going to "stage" my house, and go to dinner and just spend time together!!!!
Oh, my boss at work is planning a party for me & dh! She called me into her office yesterday and made me make a list of people to invite....I came up with a few, then she started writing names down of some co-workers that are alot of fun...should be an interesting evening.....gonna be kareoke!!

ok...gotta get ready for work!!!
thanks for not letting me fall to page 2!!!

[kimwim8]

Why is it that we all get our houses perfectly organized when we're getting ready to move?? (I know I'm guilty of it too).

Don't stress, girl. You're house is definitely realtor-ready. And she'll (he'll??) give you pointers as to what you need to do to sell. Don't drive yourself nuts.

PAR-TAY time in Memphis, people!!!! It's time for Marie to start practicing her SLAMMERS....am I right, ladies?

Have an absolutely wonderful Mothers Day weekend with your sister and your mom. ENJOY!!!

 

[kmp1191]

Neighbor came over around 5:30...brought me a glass of wine....sat and visited for an hour...drank 1 glass of wine...why is it that I can have 4 rum and cokes and be fine, but 1 glass of wine makes me dizzy and sleepy!!??

Anyway, got a lto to do tonight....i'll check back later!

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

I think you are doing a great job getting your house ready to be put on the market. Sending lots of your way.

I hope you have a great time this weekend! Happy Mother's Day!

 

[kmp1191]

Hey ya'll!!
MOM WILL BE HERE TOMORROW!!!!!

So, met with the real estate agent last night. It's official, my house is for sale!! It will be listed by Monday I think. The painter has to repaint the ceiling in the garage, and I have a guy coming to regrout the spare bathroom tub....then it's all done!! Please send some PD & prayers that it will sell quickly....I don't want to be here any longer than necessary.
DH passed the psychological test, and they are working on the background. We're hoping to have a definate date early next week.

Let's see...what else....the kids had a sock-hop at school tonight. Lots of poodle skirts & slicked back hair! It was pretty cute! All the kids had a lot of fun!
Ok...food this week...I haven't been logging it because of everything else going on...but I don't feel that it has been too bad. Lot's of salads..a hamburger tonight....several Jenny Craig meals.....and TONS of water!!! I've really been trying to hit it pretty hard. Hopefully I won't have a gain these next few weeks....

ok...gonna be a fun, busy weekend...i'll post when I can.
shoppin and eatin, and shoppin!!!!

have a great weekend ya'll!!
