Hi! How was your weekend? Mine was OK. I didn’t really do much. I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that I’m never going to be able to do all of the things I want to do on the weekends (or ever). It’s just impossible right now. Maybe someday when my son doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore I’ll be able to get to work, but until then, I’m just going to have to learn to let go. NOT easy for me. Of course, it might be easier if Vladik were asleep right now and not sitting in my lap attempting to rub banana all over my keyboard. (It’s 5am. Why doesn’t the kid sleep??!) I’m feeling disappointed and frustrated because I had a lot of ideas for posts that I wanted to write about today, but what can I do? (let it go, let it go…) Things I did accomplish this weekend:
1. I successfully applied self tanner for the first time ever. Although, I think the last time I tried to apply self tanner was Jr. High, so that’s probably not saying much. I’m sure technology has come a long way since the mid-nineties! I used Arbonne Made in the Shade, and I was so happy with how it turned out that I applied it twice. Then, after a walk I took a shower and applied it on my legs a third time. It’s not 100% even, but when did the sun ever give you a perfectly even tan? (No really, I’m asking because I’ve never been tan once in my life…) No streaks or weird dark spots, I’m just super glowy right now, which feels pretty amazing. I think I might try some of this new Pacifica lotion to keep it going. (BIRTHDAY PRESENTS TO MYSELF, YAY!)
2. I finally used the new clamp I got for my iPhone as a tripod to take a self portrait of myself with my little guy. I was long overdue for a new profile pic. So handy!
3. I got some exercise and fresh air. Stress-reducing cardio. That counts as something accomplished, right? I even stopped to snap a pic of some of the delicious jasmine in my neighborhood for you:
So, 3 things. That’s better than 0. Now I’ve got to run because I’m running late for work somehow, despite the fact that I got up at 3:30 this morning. It’s BIRTHDAY WEEK and my Mom is coming to visit so I’m going to try to keep up my regular posting schedule, but who knows? sigh…
