Day 42- Busy day!

Wow....am I glad to be hunkering down for the night.  It is quite late, but I did not want to skip writing in this blog.  I have skipped before, then I just have to make it up the next day.  It has been non-stop going all day long.  I started my morning working on an order (my Mystic Oasis products) and worked up until noon.  Then I had to get ready to go sing at another senior place today.  This place is called Legacy House of Logan, and it is actually an assisted living home.  As you can see, I stay plenty busy singing for the senior citizens!  But I love it so very much.  They were all so cute today, and so thankful for the music.  I love my job!  :)  One little lady that was sitting on the front row was singing along with me the whole time with the loudest voice she could project!  LOL  At times, I couldn't hear myself, but that is totally fine.  I loved every minute of it.  And I love every one of them.

When I was done, I headed straight over to meet my son at his school.  I had to make sure he made up some missing work, so we were there for a bit.  Went home and started to do more cleaning.  Oh, I have so much de-junking to do.  Yuck.  I told you all here not long ago that I was going to do a room a day.  Well, I haven't been very successful.  I started the computer room a week and a half ago and didn't even get half way done.  Well, I got a little further today.  The organizing is coming along good, now I just have to clean really, really good in there.  You see, I have a tendancy to clean only on eye level.  When I finally look up or down, I see there is a real problem.  I need to look all around me when I clean.  Things tend to grow on the ceiling or collect on the floor that really need attention.  So, all of that detailed cleaning is happening this week.  I hate to clean.  I would much rather be rehearsing Zumba, sewing, learning new songs to sing, making lotion or soap.....you know, anything but clean.  Not my cup of tea at all.  BUT....when things are finally clean, it helps me relax and enjoy my home more.  So the reward will be worth it. 

Here is a picture of the week.  I took this with my computer a few minutes ago.  Actually, there are two.  One of me, then one of me and Lola, my female Pug.  I need to get another body shot pic on here.  I am sure starting to see a difference in my appearance.  It is a great feeling indeed!  My clothes are starting to feel loose and I can tell through my face and neck that I am looking different.  I am not going to buy any new clothes for a while.  So I will be at that awkward stage for a bit where my clothes look kind of funny on me. 

I know....this is a goofy picture.  It is a feature on my laptop where you can snap a photo of yourself from a webcam and then put a funny frame around it!  hee hee  Here is the one on my puppy and me.

This is Lola girl.  She is very, very spoiled.  But all of my animals are.  I have 4 dogs.  3 Pugs and a yellow Lab.  I will post more pictures on here as I go along.  I love animals, children and old people.  I am blessed to have all 3 in my life. 

With this busy day, I was able to stick to my eating plan good.  It is not a problem anymore, and comes so naturally.  However, I was not able to do any type of exercise today, unless I count my cleaning as exercise.  I am looking forward to getting some sort of a good workout in tomorrow. 

Hey, how about that Kirstie Alley on "Dancing with the Stars?"  She is pretty dang amazing.  She and Maks did the Samba tonight, my favorite new dance.  The Samba is hard, but she did it so well!  And I think she is looking SO GOOD!  I can tell she is slimming down because of all that dancing.  Keep going, Kirstie!  ALL that booty shaking will have you in great shape in no time.  I, for one, know this first hand!  ;)  I am on my way!
