Oh happy day!!

Is anybody else finding dealing with this time change especially hard this year? I just can't seem to get it together in the morning. My alarm goes off at 5:30 but I end up snoozing until 6:30. That gives me a total of 20-30 minutes to get ready in the morning before I have to sit in that wonderful L.A. traffic for an hour. I actually got up at 5:25 this morning only to use the restroom, brush my teeth and then lay back down. My bf text me a little before 6:30 to attempt to get me up, bless his heart. I put some make up on and then just sat there. At 6:45 I finally said, "Girl, you have 15 minutes to get your ass out the door. Put some damn clothes on."

I went through my dresser drawers trying to figure out what pants to wear. Although sweatpants felt more appropriate for my mood, they wouldn't go over well with my work. I pulled out some slacks and stood there looking at them with a grimace on my face. These weren't going to work. I cocked my head to the side and looked at my closet. I have endless pairs of jeans hanging up in my closet, none which fit me. I decided, why not at least try to put them on? It couldn't hurt.

After flipping through a few I decided on a pair of Old Navy bootcut jeans. Everything is packed tightly in my closet (I'm a girl! I'm supposed to have a lot of clothes!) so I almost felt like I was on a mission. After tugging on the jeans I wanted, I finally ripped them out of the closet. I stood there for a moment feeling victorious. I won closet! Ha Ha! Then suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on my back. The closet door fell on me! My closet attacked me! What kind of crap is that???

After having a few choice words for the closet door, I propped it back up into place and tried on the jeans. Guess what? They fit!! Granted, they're a little snug but this is a wonderful sign! I couldn't be happier! I won the war and I have the battle scars ( a 5 inch scratch on my shoulder blade) to prove it. Now I just hope they still fit by the end of the day.

I'm going to a Cuban restaurant called La Rumba for dinner tonight. We're celebrating my dear friend Sue Ann's 26th birthday. I've already reviewed the menu and planned out what I'm going to eat. If all goes according to plan I should stay within my point range. Tonight I was supposed to go to my Jazzercise class but I feel that my friends birthday is more important. I'll make up for it later but dancing my ass off at home when no one is looking. ;)

That's it for now. Until tomorrow...
