Let Me Upgrade You…..

First off, thanks for all of your well wishes.

I’m doing OK.  Just still trying to get used to having a catheter in my bladder 24/7.  I think that makes it harder than anything else.

Because let me tell you, that joker is UNCOMFORTABLE.

I know this is Mamavation/Cut the Fluff Monday, but nothing new is going on in that area.  I’ve had to go on hiatus until I am fully healed. 

But I’ve got PLANS for when I do!

My sister-in-law were talking yesterday and she said she felt like she needed to upgrade.

Immediately, I understood EXACTLY what she was talking about. 

Now that I am venturing out again( to places other than the Doctor’s office, the grocery store and daycare), I feel like I need to get myself together.  I caught a glimpse of myself the other day and realized that I looked……frumpy.

I’m 34.  I shouldn’t be looking frumpy.

Ok, some of it is the fact that I have just had surgery, I have baby dreads and I am always sleep deprived, but still.

I have never looked frumpy in all of my life.

I need to get it together.

Soooo, I am embarking on a Total Me Makeover.

Mondays are now dedicated to this endeavor.

Because, I’ve got to get my sexy, groove and all that jazz back!

Sooooooo:

I need to get this body together:

• Get some new, stylish, in fashion clothes to go on it.
• Work this hair! because despite it being in the in between stage, it is cute.
• Start wearing makeup.  Again.  Experiment.  Have fun.  Play up my assets.:)

Get my house in order:

• I’ve got a cleaning service coming FINALLY on next Monday.  They are doing a DEEP cleaning.  All for a $150 of my hard earned money.  And it will be worth EVERY PENNY. 

I feel like sometimes when where you live is cluttered and disorganized, then so are you.  So I am putting a stop to that and starting over.  My mother being here is a godsend.  She is seeing and suggesting things that I had forgotten or just hadn’t thought of.  But my house is starting to look like it used to.  I am pleased!  And feel like I can breathe!

• My next step is to finally, after 5 years of living in the house, decorate.

Sad I know*hanging my head in shame*. But stuff kept happening(lay offs, pregnancies).  But now, we can afford to buy furniture.  I can afford to paint.

And last but not least, I am officially done with credit cards. 

Forever and ever.  I am keeping one for stuff like renting a car.  But other than that, if we can’t buy it with cash, we don’t need it.

So I guess I’ve really just done new years resolutions all over again. 

I’m excited!
