Hello, my lovelies!
It's taken a couple weeks to get this slammed out on the keyboard, but here I am. I attended a couple webinars put together by Shelby over at Little Coffee Fox
, and there's SO MUCH valuable information that was given, it was like drinking from a really tasty fire hose. I thoroughly enjoyed both workshops, and now I'm here, at my keyboard, ready to rock.It's taken a couple weeks to get this slammed out on the keyboard, but here I am.

There's been a few things happening in my little neck of the woods. You know that I've lost a little bit of weight recently, and you know that I'm working on shedding more. My goal is to have 50 pounds gone by my son's birthday in late October. Well, ten's gone, so that's what... 40 to go. I can do this. I am GOING to do this. My reward for myself is to get my hair done in a ombre dye style.

This is the style I'm going to go with |
Right now, I'm sitting here just trying to wrap my head around all the changes that I've made, and the ongoing makeover I have decided to give myself. I mean, check it: I'm wearing more makeup lately. I spent like $6 on makeup the other day. I didn't buy a horde of it, but I did buy some nice stuff. I even purchased some mascara, which I've not done in a long, long time. Last year I'd learnt from a friend of mine how to put it on without aggravating my eyes. Doing that, I don't even notice I have it on, there's no itchy eye action happening, and I don't look like I've been slugged in both eyes as a result.
I mean, I own stuff to make myself look and feel good (not to mention smell pretty lovely), why not use it, right?
Surely, people are used to seeing me in jeans and a t-shirt, or shorts and a tank top, but I'm trying to dress more like I have something to do than just clean my home and sit around with Netflix all day. A friend and fellow writer told me once that it's some kind of scientific thing that if women were to wear a bra during the day, they're motivated to get more done........or something. I can't remember how she phrased it, and I'm not going back over a year's worth of conversation to find the EXACT statement. There, I gave you something to google in your spare time, ladies. Nonetheless, though, like a lot of women, my chi-chis need ... supervision. ;) If left to their own devices, they tend to get to wandering and it's quite embarrassing! Wearing a comfy bra more often, it's led to other changes I've wanted to do.
Trying new things with my hair.
I've even got a nifty quote I found on the interwebs yesterday that's currently copied and taped to my laptop, to the side of the monitor:
It's all you've EVER wanted to be.
It's what you spend all this time on,
Training and practicing your craft.
Get off your ass and write your page
AND QUIT CRYING ABOUT IT!.
What I'm going to do with that quote is on the inside of all my notebooks, AND my journals, is I'm going to write that down. I'm also going to write it down for my neighbours who are also writers, and give each of them a copy, too.
Come to think of it... I saw some nifty stuff on Netflix that's been uploaded and new, so I'm out to do that and make good art all over my notebooks and journals! Toodles!
