I had to work last night. It was a rainy monday night which equals out to a fairly slow evening. I was out by 8:45. I normally would have been out earlier but the closing manager was one of the owners which means that I had to wait until we were down to just 3 tables before I could justify leaving. Hours for me, no complaints.
I've been praying a lot lately, regarding the whole work schedule. I'm definitely ready to not have to work the 2 jobs. I'm thankful that I have a flexible part time job. Thankful that I do like what I do. I also understand that my week is so full and weekends are so planned that I easily get caught going through the motions because I'm so tired. When I catch myself doing that I stop and remind myself how much I have to be appreciative of.
2012 is off to a great start. In conjunction with a church thing I'm partaking of a 21 day fast, for me this is a fast from sweets. It's no secret I'm a sugar addict, I made it through yesterday. Today I've started strong. No cookies, candy, cake, etc. I'm taking it one day at a time!
After we dropped Girl Clean off at her mom's on Sunday Mr. Clean and I went shopping. We both received Marshalls gift cards for Christmas. I purchased 3 new pairs of workout pants, a new running shirt, a new sports bra, a pair of jeans and a dress, grand total $148. The most expensive item was the Nike running pants, and they are so worth it!!! Hands down Nike makes my favorite running gear!!! Their stuff truly fits me the best as far as pants go. I did purchase a pair of Addidas running pants to try and the other pair was a pair of yoga type pants. I was a long time devotee to the VS yoga pants and now all my pairs have holes in the same exact spot, which is weird!!! The pants I found at Marshalls I actually like better then the VS pairs.
I went with my MIL the Saturday after Thanksgiving for a pedicure. For Christmas I received a gift card to the same nail place. I now need to set up another pedicure, the Thanksgiving pedicure looked good up until last weekend! Or I might just save it for a little while.
I mentioned I busted on the ice on Sunday, I'm still paying for that fall. My knees are banged up and pretty much my whole body still hurts, but it was oh so much fun!!!

i am really picky about workout pants they cannot be cotton. they have to be that one spandexy type material that is stretchy, i am sure you know what i mean. i have a couple of pairs and i wear the heck out of them, they are so hard to find not skin tight!
how much would not having a 2nd job impact your life? meaning would that money be really missed?
Good luck with abstaining from those naughty sugar treats. As a fellow sugar addict, I feel your pain on this one. My biggest weakness is cake, which is especially difficult since we have the top tier of the wedding cake staring at me from the freezer on a daily basis!
It is always good to show gratitude and appreciation for the things we have in our lives. I find myself doing that more these past few months. Whenever I get really stressed or upset, I take some time to think of at least 5 things I’m grateful for and it usually makes me feel better. Glad to hear 2012 is starting off with a bang for you..hope it continues!
I may have to hit Marshalls soon. I never think to check there for clothes. lol. But I need some fitness gear.
Good luck with the no sweets thing. That's definitely my weakness too. I can hardly get through the day without at least one sweet thing. I'm trying to retrain my taste buds to see fruit and yogurt as "sweets" instead of chocolate and fruit snacks. :)
I have never shopped at Marshalls for workout clothes! I will have to in the future. I like a certain kind of Nike running shorts, and also have a pair of Nike running pants that I love! I am actually speaking about workout wear at our women's networking event tomorrow - so I will have to mention Marshalls!
I am so glad life is going so well for you lately. I know you are super busy, though, and am impressed by your ability to keep up with your schedule!!
