Look what happened now...
Ready, Set, Jet!

How are things? I have been MIA due to work lately, sorry. I am putting my head down, throwing papers and finishing up projects like a mad woman. #TrueStory you should see my desk & the floor! :o And generally trying to get as much done as possible before we go sailing off. I admit I am saving the packing for weekends, mainly because I don't want to pack up my house. Its a BIG ORDEAL plus I hate to pay for storage. It just seems so WRONG. It's money you never get back, you know? So I will put off until last second. I would like to store it at the other house, but someone is living in it & I don't trust my precious junk there. I bought a storage unit to be moved in there last year, but at the last minute the owner found out his son had already sold the building. So big waste of time and no building. And No, I didn't loose any money, cause that's not how Ms Oneworld does business. (Because someone will ask on twitter or email me, later.) But still waste of time and I am no further on moving my stuff. Meanwhile back to packing.. Its amazing the stuff we buy, right? Where does it all come from? I am known as being "cut throat" among my friends at throwing stuff out. And STILL I have way too much junk. So tonight... I set the DVR for Grimm and Dracula and I pack up ma maison. Saturday I pack and later that night I have a date. :) Sunday is hiking in the park, if warm and wait for it... ...... ...... more packing. Sounds so fun! Who wants to join in? LOL At least I gave you that picture to look at to ease the lameness of this "I don't want to pack" post. :x Alright enough of that, I'm off to get my hair color changed (yes, again) and then back to work. (Anything but packing!) Catch you later-
Hola!
How are things? I just snagged a bit of new skin care loot. Yippee! I absolutely love Peter Thomas Roth Night Crème! I have dry skin (too much fire) and even though I eat right and drink gallons of water it is still dry. I started using the night crème last Dec. 2012 and was really amazed. It was moisturizing without being oily! I really thought I would suffer breakouts after using a day or two, which is what usually happens. BUT NO! And my skin felt so much better. I think it looks much better too. It is definitely more even in tone and less dry/flaky. I don't have to wear foundation now, just concealer under my eyes for those dark circles. (Oh and sunscreen of course.) I now get soo many complements on my skin. :) I haven't tried the peel pads, but if they are half as good as the night crème, I am sure they will be great. I think I will only use weekly, as my skin is also sensitive. I will let you know how it goes. Catch you later- I hope your day is going well. This was from the weekend, but I'm about to go again. #Exercise Ps I added some pictures from the trail below. 🚳 Hey! How are things? :D It was Monday and money was flying out the door, here. LOL I think since I am on a spending fast every good deal in the history of good deals is happening right now. #FAIL I’m on this money fast because I have a really bad case of WANDERLUST and need to go SOON! So please stop with all the great deals already, k? I have enough $$$ flying out the door just on the regular everyday stuff. At least the weather is still nice. I drove to the next town over to buy supplies and pick up some food. This was about mid-day and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. (No edit on this picture, the sky color was really pretty!) Grass is golden from the recent freeze, not so pretty. :( And I stayed strong and didn't shovel any into the cart! #Determined + I do have a shipment from Keurig arriving any day. They had a sale, of course... They always laugh at me buying so much olive oil when we shop together. This is WHY! Look how expensive olive oil is in the states! To be honest I am sure its much cheaper in Italy too, but I usually spend my $$$ on shoes instead. #ImJustbeingTruthful :o And You may recall I was ranting over the fact the Valentine’s Day crap was already out? Well look what I just saw- Easter is the only time in (Texas anyway) you can purchase Cadbury anything. And that’s also why I buy so much while in the UK when I visit! #MyStrangeGuideToShopping by country, lol
These eggs used to be .25 each, then went to .33 then up to .50 now .68! Soon they will be $1.00US for one small egg! Crazy! And No, I didn't purchase any. Why? because I hope to be buying some in the UK soon! Now I'm off to the post to see if my Keurig order arrived. Catch you later- Hey!
How is your weekend? I've been working (and whining about it) a lot this past week. Now the weather has turned off warm again (Can I get a hallelujah?) and the sun is shinning like it's spring, WTF?! I really would like to just crawl back into bed and sleep until Monday. BUT yes I said BUT, I’m not going to. I’m going for a run instead. Not because I really WANT to, but because I know I NEED to. I need to get outside, I need to move and run. I need to blow off some steam and I need the exercise. I choose to make this a better year. I choose to be fit. I choose to eat better. It's really up to us, in the end. You know? We can choose what we really want and do it or do whats easy. Its up to you. You can choose to make this year better than the last one or not.
My PA brought me a subway (cause I was chained to my desk #TrueStory). Its the new Jalapeño
Cheese Bread. Was pretty good, Much Hype, but not THAT Hot. :(
The photo books I ordered from Snapfish have arrived. I am giving 1 to the birthday girl and the others to the brave ladies that went road tripping with me. One of them "scrapbooks" so she will prob. turn out a great work of art. Me, I just upload and edit, lol. But actually I like them so much better than the Scrapbook style.
These came out OK. Don't get me wrong, SnapFish did a great job. I am not happy that we took most of the pictures with cell phones and I had all of 20 mints to edit before making book. Oh yeah and I was ill. So all in all they are fucking great! LOL
I pulled a file folder out to update a contact and 2 postcards fell out. I take this as a sign from the Gods of Travel! Pack those bags! Time to go...
And It has warmed up into a super nice day! I should be outside soaking in the sun..
But instead I'm gonna eat cherries and watch movies. Ok, Mostly I'm gonna sleep! zzzzzz
How are things? We had our 1st "Girl's Movie Night" of 2014 last night. :D Here are a few past editions if you want to read more. Sept, Oct. , 4 LB CAKE, June *Warning* They are full of nonsense & mayhem * ___ * Really (I think i'm gonna start a tag for all this craziness and before I leave for europe take picture of all the girls so you can figure out who is who! I will be across the Atlantic, so catch me if you can bitches! hahahah! ) OMG did I just type that? Diabolical plans should not be put in writing! :o Before I sat up for the ladies I went for supplies. Can't watch movies with out food, right? Then I promptly got all caught up in buying coffee for the Keurig. #CoffeeAddict WTF?! Must support and buy! I held back, really. Because, well, I just ordered some on line earlier THAT DAY. #SupportTheEconomy Stop judging and look at the weird American weather. The weather was really weird while I was out shopping. It was like twilight all day with Fog/Rain/Clouds?? Not super cold but just odd. WTF?!? How much longer is it gonna be cold?? Since everyone is on a diet or just watching what they are eating we went heavy on the fruits and veggies. Plain and simple food. But really good. We had a really nice time visiting and catching up session. CH and her hubby had a anniversary/date since I had last seen them. They went to the River Walk and spent a night in a swanky hotel, ooo la la!! (The Menger Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. I linked it if you wanna check it out.) She said it was lovely but people were so LOUD! The couple in the next room were arguing and they heard every word. Pay $$$ for nice room, add some insulation please. :( Happy Anniversary. #Fail But other than THAT it was a nice trip. They strolled on the romantic Riverwalk and ate at nice restaurants. Spent time together and relaxed. :) Then the girls wanted to hear all about the recent New Orleans adventures and several stories later...It was 3:30 a.m. and no movies/DVD/BR were watched! Another #fail But we had a really good time. :D My excuse for not taking any photos this time... I've gotta get back to work :( Phone won't stop ringing. Catch you later- Warning! This is a picture heavy post ( + another spooky story!) This continues the December New Orleans trip. As you can see from all these crazy photos we hung out on the balcony most of the time we were in the room. One evening we returned in the early evening to drop off our shopping loot and shower/change clothes before we went out to dinner. I was 1st and went out on the balcony while the others took their turns. I walked down the length of the balcony to look down and take photos (Like the one above). There were 3 rooms total that opened onto our shared balcony. I thought we were the only people checked in. As I walked past the doors (the curtains were opened) I looked inside to see if all the rooms were the same. And an older (Maybe 70-100 year old) woman was lying on the bed in the room next door.. I freaked out (I had just peeped HER! OMG!) and ran back to our side, feeling terribly guilty. Later we went out and yada, yada, you know. The next morning we are right back here for breakfast again. And I mention to the girls what had happened and how embarrassed I was. They both look at me like WTF? And say, "There is no one staying in those rooms!" I'm like "yes, I saw her." Now it comes out that Both of them had checked the rooms too. (We are such tourists) and they were vacant. I recalled most of the incident, because I was so shocked at seeing someone. She was white, with short white hair, small frame. She had all her clothes on (Thank god) and was on top of (not under) the blankets. The TV was not on, nor did I see any luggage. So we ALL walked over to the room (the curtain was still open)... And looked in again. (MAJOR PEEPERS!!) No one there, bed still made up and no luggage/cases. No one home. :o Yikes! What the HELL!? Now they girls are all asking if she looked dead and shit? I'm like "No, of course not. She looked sleeping and modern day. Not like 1840's THAT I would have noticed." So of course we left right after that.. If you can afford it, do get a balcony room. Who knows what you will see! I can't remb. which day now. Sorry. What follows are Angelica's pictures. She went on a the Walking Ghost Tour and loved i! She recommends it to anyone that wants to see the Quarter, learn about the history and not spend a fortune. :D You know we almost never heard anything from the room next door. Well, we did hear odd knocking one night...But we all totally ignored that after the woman on the bed incident. :x But the following night we had (real?) neighbors! 2 young guys (1 from Australia). That evening as Angelica and I were sitting on the balcony waiting on Char to get ready, the cute Aussie came out and chatted us up. Angelica was quite happy to scare the poor boy to death with the "lady sleeping on the bed " story in their room! Lol There is one more day and the hotel review to go yet..so stay tuned. I’m so ready to return! (Especially after the day I’ve had!) Spent the entire day in meetings and now I just want to chill by the fire. I’m too tried to even change clothes, lol. #BrainDead from work. :( Catch you later- Hey! How are things? It's been a cold day here. NOT Snowing cold, but still cold for our area. And yes, my hat (worn under the bloody hoody) matches my gloves #Style NOT I put a coat on over all this and waddled out to the car. What a fun day! (He so hates it that I have him listed in my phone like that.) :x Meanwhile Rick was burning up my phone, 'cause I'm just at work, right? I finally call him back and he is all paranoid (the state he actually lives in) regarding the Flu. More and more people at his office are calling in ill with it. I was thinking maybe so or maybe its a good excuse for them to use some sick leave? (Now who is paranoid?) Anyway, as I have said before people are dying here in Texas so it should be taken seriously and we really shouldn't be joking about it. So take care, drink some hot tea with lemon, sleep in and stay your ass at home. Do not go out and infect others. Speaking of I still have a ton of photos (and stories) that need to be written up. The photo book for Ms.R's b'day has shipped and will be here soon. I am so excited! But since most pictures were taken with my phone it may not be my best work. I used a coupon code on Snapfish, because 3 copies of the printed book were over $100.00USD! So I do hope they turned out 1/2 way decent. Cross fingers. My desk is still covered and I have a meeting across town. So that's it for now- Take care & stay warm! |
