Pre-Wedding Wedding Festivities

Hello world. It is nice to be able to speak with you again. 

Because of all of the festivities of this weekend, it was impossible to keep up with my noom app as well as the blog. So let's dive in to everything!

Friday was a bad day but I made it Catherine's and was able to show her friend Marry everything for the following day which was her Bachelorette Party!! In the morning we went to lake park and she found a few of her friends and a their unicorn piñatas which had things that she needed to celebrate the rest of the day (sash, tattoos, ect). While we were out and about, there were people back at her house setting up decorations, reheating food that I had previously prepared and getting everything set up for her surprise. She was very excited once we got back to her house and she got to see everyone, including her sister in law and brother when he came to get her fiancé out of the house for a few hours!  We ate, played games and then got to take a nap before doing her makeup and going out to karaoke! She seemed to have a wonderful time and I am so glad! 


Sunday was her and her fiancé's "Wedding Shower" as both of them were in attendance rather than than just the bride. Her family helped SOOOOOO MUUUCCCCHHH! They were so great. Really!  We had sandwiches and and chips and cake and played games! We dressed Catherine and Alex up in make shift gowns and suits made out of odds and ends I found at the dollar store. It was hilarious. And the best part out of everything for both days was that the rain that was predicted to ruin all of it was able to hold off until later in the day!! 

My involvement in all of that was the planner, executor, general person responsible for making sure those two events ran smoothly. I am grateful for all of the help I received with both of those events from Catherine's family and friends. I am so glad she (and Alex and the attendees) had a good time and I can't wait to see how her day of goes in a few weeks!  She is such a beautiful bride and person, I just cannot wait!! 


Being on the go all weekend did have it downsides of courses. I ate poorly and didn't sleep enough but it was worthy. I managed to only put on two pounds which I am thankful for the smaller number. Today was a day I scheduled off as a means of keeping my sanity. I potatoed most of the day, watching shows, playing with the cat, trying in general to catch up on my life. I didn't eat as I meant to today and I did not go to the gym. I tried to make better choices in general but I came up short today. It isn't the end of the world and tomorrow I can do better. 

Thank you for reading the novel of a post that you have just completed. Here's to tomorrow.

In the beginning...

I started a project. It came to me one day while I was looking over all the things I needed to accomplish. Go to the gym. Eat better. Organize. Look at the car.  The list was becoming endless. I thought back to some other times when I felt like I had to juggle a ton of things and writing as something that was there to help.  I turn 25 this year. Apparently this is a big deal? Something about a quarter of a century? Becoming mature? It's going to happen; going to happen very soon actually (like as I post this). So let me introduce you, whoever that might be, to Twenty Five for Twenty Six.  Here I'm going to attempt to complete 25 goals by the time I turn 26. I have a year. One full year; 365 days to complete a set of tasks. Have I completely decide what those twenty five things are? No. I'm going to give myself a little time to figure those out. I know I need to work on losing 25 pounds but the rest of the goals are kind of up in the air!  I also want ...

These Are Not Joanna Eggs!

If you don't know who Joanna is, please see above. She's a Goanna (reptilian creature who crawls on all fours and eat eggs and things) who is a minor character in "The Rescuers Down Under."  The reason she is featured in today's post is because the theme song for that Disney movie has been playing all day at work as part of the fountain show. I heard it mid afternoon and immediately recognized it. I even said to myself "Well now I have to watch The Rescuers Down Under." And here I am doing just that as we wind down for the night.  Water intake was good today and food was decent. So far breakfast has been the low calorie density meal and based on the scale, I have lost three more pounds. But we shall see. Tomorrow is supposed to be a WellDressedWednesday.

Goosebumps

I am all over the place for sure today (the last few days really). Between worrying about things that I have no business worrying about, trying to complete my goals, work, and general adult skills I feel defeated. I’m struggling to find inspiration and motivation to be consistent. I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I find myself exhausted the moment I get home (because my Job is exhausting and so is being at home). I look around my apartment and it’s a disaster (even for me it’s bad) and yet I have no energy to fix it. I can’t focus on anything for very long, I’m getting headaches and joint pain again (I was like this all through out high school). And yet I don’t feel nearly as stressed as I did as a teenager. I don’t understand it at all.  I’m sure that people who see me in person and then read here may be confused. I’m seemingly fine  most days. I’m good at masks. I feel the most authentic at work with my clients. Useful, mostly happy, and capable. I’m good at my job. Why ...
