Can you believe we still haven’t closed on our house yet? Yeah, me neither. I’m beyond tired of it all. I’m trying hard to keep a good attitude. After all, owning a home is a tremendous blessing, and one that we have dreamt about for so long. But, it’s pretty much sucking the life out of us. And it has been for MONTHS. To say that I’m ready to unload on someone is an understatement. I almost posted a Top Ten Things I Need To Get Off My Chest, but it got ugly. Fast. So how ’bout some randomness.
1. I have eaten enough mini PayDay candy bars to fill the trick or treat bags of all the children in a third world country. No, I’m not proud of this, but surely confession lessens the body’s absorption of fat. Right?
2. I have ants in my purse. So not sure of the hows or whys of it all, but they’re here. And there. And everywhere. (And, if you’re married to me & reading, no this is not just some ploy to get a new handbag. But ants is ants, and well…)
3. I’m heading to LPL in Memphis this weekend. With people I’ve never met in real life before. I’m NERVOUS. BEYOND. BELIEF.
4. I did a massive closet purge a la Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style. It really deserves it’s own blog post. Unfortunately, there are no pictures, since it was done in conjunction with packing and it involved throwing most of the contents of my closet into a giant cardboard box, putting it in the trunk, and driving it to the nearest donation center. Too boring to photograph. Plus, I wasn’t wearing concealor.
5. Massive closet purge a la Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style = so not a good idea when the temperature drops twenty degrees the very next day.
6. Oh, and massive closet purge a la Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style = also not a good idea when you’re about to go on a weekend trip with a lot of cute girls who will no doubt be fabulously dressed. I, it seems, will be naked.
7. My parents have cable AND DVR. I actually watched Dancing With The Stars on the same night that it aired. Wheee!!!
8. And, since we’re on the subject… Maksim Chmerkovskiy = DEEE-LISH.
9. Oh, and my new favorite show– Drop Dead Diva. Too bad the very first (and only) episode I’ve seen happens to be the second to the last one of the season.
10. Finally, and in case I haven’t alluded to it before, I have NOTHING to wear, people. NOTHING.
For more (well put together) Top Ten Tuesday, head over to Oh Amanda!
Ooooo – I am trying to resist buying the mini Paydays! I love them!
I love DWTS, too! Go, Donny!!!
Don’t worry, I’m coming to Memphis for LPL and know not a soul. Fran has offered to let me hang with her homies, but I’m still nervous about the whole thing. It will all disappear once we sit under the awesome worship and dig into the word! I’m going to the AllAccess lunch on Sat, so hey, at least we’ll know each other, well, you know, kind of! See you this weekend! Oh, and hello, my name is Amy!
LPL? What cool thing are you going to with fabulously dressed women? Why am *I* not going? (ha)
#3… yeah! But I… not so fabulously dressed. I may never take off my yoga pants with the holes in them.
As I’m writing this I’m inhaling a bag of Chocolate Crunch (aka Fat in a Bag) which consists of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel, pretzels, marshmallows, and even more chocolate in the form of mini chips. I mention all that in hopes that confession does in fact lessen the body’s absorption of fat.
Anyhoo, on to my actual comment!
I’m assuming you’ve got a staple pair of nice fitting jeans. If so get yourself some solid long sleeve tops (Old Navy would be good) and pair with scarves to dress it all up. And don’t forget the jewelry and of course a great pair of heels or boots. You can find cute inexpensive scarves just about anywhere. I’ve gotten alot of mine from Walmart.
I don’t think you asked for fashion advise but I hope that helps anyway!
I’m sure your friends won’t mind if you’re nekkid. Not sure if you’ll get great service or no service if you’re eating out, though!
Fun random list – loved it!
Hey, now. I’m one of those people you’ve never met that you get to spend the LPL weekend with. And I know (like personally know. IRL know) almost everyone that we’re gonna be hanging with. And lemme tell you something, they are a FINE bunch of gals. You will LOVE them. And they will LOVE you. And we are gonna have an unbelievable time.
And after we get back, and we understand our fabulosity, we will have no excuse for not hanging out more often. At least a lunch every now and then…..
I CAN’T WAIT! 3 days!!!!!
Have fun in Memphis! I wish I were going!
Can totally sympathize about the closing frustration. Didn’t think we’d EVER get into our house…ugh!
The not-having-anything-to-wear problem? Exactly why I never purge my closet. Cause that would totally be my luck.
Have a great time in Memphis! (SO wish I were going!)
So do the Payday & ants have anything to do with each other?!?! Hoping you close soon!!!
Look at you stepping out of the box and taking a road trip into the unknown. So not like you but I am excited (maybe a wee bit jealous) that you’re getting to go.
And you can SO rock any outfit that is left in your closet, or I mean box. I, on the other hand would be petrified to take out all of my non cool clothes. I would be naked. NOT pretty. Can’t wait to hear all about your super fab weekend. When shall you return? Moms dinner one night very soon please.
B- you totally make me laugh
I can not wait to see you in 2 days!!
PayDays aren’t fattening at all, right? At least that’s what I (firmly) believe!
LPL sounds like a blast. I’m sure you will still have a great time… even naked. Lol… j/k!
This was a great post… I enjoyed it. I hope you have a great weekend!
I HATE that I missed you this weekend! Was it not fabulous???
since i am so late getting here, now i already need updates! how did LPL go?!!! did you sport the naked look or save it for that other conference?!!
ok you probably think I am a nut by now but girl I had such an off time in Memphis. I was so fatigued and just not me. Anyway, you are so precious and can I just say that your number one cracked me up!
you are so funny anyway!!
