counting down...

i will be so glad when this week is over and even more glad when sunday is here cus that means i can sleep in... whaaa hooo, you don't know how i look forward to that... last weekend was a bust w/the party and overnight guests but this week, its just going be me and the kitty... course, if things went his way - i'd be up at 6:30am everyday but that's another story...

eric's bday was yesterday so i took him for thai food, i have no idea how i did points-wise so i'll need to do some research... i didn't bake a cake or anything so that's another bonus in my eyes (plus he had cake at work)... i got him this black tshirt w/a dog sitting on a motorcycle (he has two, including a harley) and an iPod nano - yea, i totally went overboard but i knew he'd like it being he's an Apple freak... now we both have one (gag) but he can use his in his Mini since there's some special adaptor-thingy... :o)

other than that, things are going well... i'm feeling pretty good dressed up in my bargain $12.99 wrap dress from the Gap and $24.99 leather, pointy-toe, sling-back shoes with a 2" heel (i can't do 4", no way in hell)... i'm really trying to focus on the positive aspects of my body and not all the negative like i usual do (hate my hips, hate my thighs, hate my wiggly arms, etc.)... the book i'm reading calls is bad body fever and the only way to get over this is to legalize your body and accept yourself as you are... from there, you inhabit your body with love and understanding... sounds silly but break it down in layman terms and it makes complete sense... if you don't love your body now, what makes you think you'll love your body down the road any better and if you don't learn to understand what your body is telling you - you'll never know what it needs... the book is really good, i just need to keep reading it...

happy thursday... :o)
