1) My current khaki colored pants should not be worn anymore. I wore them shopping on Saturday and the view of my backside was not pleasant. The pants I was wearing just aren't flattering anymore, if they ever were. I'm on the hunt for a new pair. Also: I must do more squats and butt toning workouts! I am sharing something I don't like about myself because I want to change it.
2) Cleaning out my closet is kind of therapeutic. I switched my summer clothes out and brought out the fall and winter items. I also simplified my shoe selection for the new seasons. I am happy to also report that I have a pretty big Goodwill pile and I will also attempt to sell some items at a consignment shop soon. I need to go through this process more often.
Karma decided to sleep in the middle of my laundry/sorting pile.
3) My husband is amazing. I knew this already, but that guy spent most of his weekend digging out old, moldy caulk and redoing the entire tub and window. We also spent a fair chunk of time at ACE hardware in the caulk aisle and had to make two separate trips there. Fun! Glad that project is done. Can we buy a new house now?
4) Buying a new pillow helps me sleep better. It has already forced me to be more of a back sleeper, which is great. I tend to sleep on my side or stomach and then I get these huge lines on my face in the morning. I know those can't be good to keep getting long term. And hooray for the pillow I picked out being only $10 on sale at Target.
5) Showering at the gym isn't really that bad. Since the caulk had to dry for 24 hours, I had to shower at the gym after my workout on Sunday and while I have always dreaded it, freshening up there wasn't that bad. It just takes being organized with my supplies.
6) It took a visit to a French restaurant over the weekend to realize that my French comprehension and pronunciation is better than I thought. While I have never taken a formal French class, spending time in Switzerland with French Swiss classmates, traveling in Paris, and my natural language skills helped me feel more confident with the language. I even managed to pronounce the dessert my friend and I ordered correctly!
7) And finally, don't use a priority mail box for certain situations. Due to this, I spent about 45 minutes in the post office on Saturday. I have to credit the two ladies I worked with at the post office though--they were kind and patient. I am happy to have found a decent post office near our house.
It wasn't the most relaxing weekend, but I felt like I accomplished a lot and at least I got out of the house to enjoy shopping and dinner out with a friend. More on that in my next post.
What have you learned about yourself or life lately?
Do you have a recommendation for a consignment shop? I have a huge pile I'm finally letting go of, but some of it is brand name and hardly worn!
ReplyDeleteWow--sounds like a heavy (and productive) weekend. What's the scoop on the priority mail--I thought "if it fits, it ships"?
ReplyDeleteNot to another country! I would have had to pay almost $50 to ship a very light box! They had me switch to a brown box so I could pay a lot less.
ReplyDeleteSandy has given me the time to cook and clean :) I've learned recently that I love trying new recipes, crafting, and sharing them...even if they're not very good!
