I could not have had a better quote tonight. What a day! It started off really well. Considering I didn't sleep well last night, I was lucky my day was so good.
Well at work, I had my usual banana for breakfast & I drank lots of water. Then Susan & I went to Burlington to get stockings for tomorrow's Gala at the Angus Barn Pavilion! OMG, we are both so excited. Well everyone at work is really looking forward to it. It really is going to be awesome. Susan & I stopped at Chick Fil A for lunch, and I got a grilled chicken sandwich and a lemonade. I took it off the wheat bread and didn't get any fries! Then later in the day, the ladies in Sales brought in all kinds of desserts to give us a sample of what we will have for dessert tomorrow at the Angus Barn. OMG, I had not been on this journey, I'd have been in chocolate heaven! OMG, it was looking & smelling so good. I got a strawberry and walked away! That wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, after a few minutes of smelling it, it was like a switch flicked in my head & the smell made me nauseous. There were all kinds of cookies, brownies, cupcakes, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, macaroons, and all kinds of stuff.
Then Lexi wanted pizza for dinner. So I picked it up for her, and I decided to take the cheese off a slice & just eat the cheese. I then made scrambled eggs for dinner YES AGAIN~ LOL I survived the pizza, the cakes & desserts and now I am going to kick back & watch a movie with Lexi, give ourselves pedicures & manicures, and then I am going to craft! All before I go to sleep tonight! Oh & I had coffee with my eggs, because I am so tired but I want to stay up til at least 2am crafting! Here's to hoping I make it that late! Cause you know when you want to stay up late, you can't & when you want to sleep, You can't! Why is that? Let me tell you how proud I am that I handled all my obstacles of temptation like a champ today! Adam was right, it's really all a mind over matter thing!
Well I have narrowed my dress for tomorrow night down to 2 black dresses. Unsure yet which one I will wear. I want to look awesome, since NO ONE has ever seen me in a dress and of course since my date is smokin' hot, I want to look good on his arm! LOL So excited for tomorrow night! We will go pick up Susan & Mike & head to the Gala together! So looking forward to it. Although it's not a late night. Home before midnight probably, but what is really awesome, is if we drink and need a ride home, our company has hired a car service for free to take us all home or back to a hotel which some are staying at!
I will be posting pictures of our evening probably tomorrow night late or Sunday.
I hope everyone has a blessed evening.
Godspeed,
Jenn
