Is That You?!

                    It's funny how some people's writing is so funny that it makes your stomach hurt from laughing, but if you meet them in person, they have long faces and never smile. Why is that? It's as if they are as different as night and day...

  If you were to meet me on the street, you'd probably wonder if I am the actual author of The Glass Box.

                                

I know a lot of my entries have a taste of meloncholy and some are just plain sad. I must apologize for feeling so sad sometimes, but that's what happens when you work through your problems. Duh! You would be sad, too, if you lived in the Valley... 

If you were to meet me in person, knowing that I am the author of The Glass Box, however, you'd probably ask: Is that you?!!!!!

In real life, I am always smiling, as if I don't have a worry in the world.   I always look happy.

When it comes to humor and wit, I can be the quickest draw in the West! Sometimes, I just like to keep quiet and observe... People watching can be so very interesting!!! And, yes, I would have to admit that I can be somewhat of a flirt... OK.. a big flirt. (blush) 

 But mostly, I think you would see an intelligent, independent  woman who is kind and sweet, but somewhat of a warrior. Men see me as playful. Women see me as a threat. But people who take the time to know me discover that I am the greatest friend you will ever want to meet.

                                        

Now to the boring stuff... (as if my description of myself wasn't boring enough)... Yesterday's plans were to go through clothes to see what I was going to donate to charity and what I was going to keep. I ended up organizing my jewelry by color instead. That was a good thing, because I noticed that I am missing a few of my favorite pieces. I hate that. 

Working at the school, I didn't get to wear my pretty jewelry, so looking at my jewelry again was a big treat. That is why I was so happy to wear my rose quartz yesterday. Also, working at the school, I had to wear school spirit stuff. I didn't get to wear my own clothes. That is why I don't fit in my own clothes now! Sad!

   When I worked at a regular job, I would decide what jewelry to wear first, and then, I would decide what to wear.  I know it sounds far fetched, but that is what worked for me.

So I got out a piece of paper and I started writing... putting in the days of the week... deciding what jewelry to wear on what days. Making that list will help me to make better decisions about what clothing I will keep and what clothing I will give away to charity, so that was good! See... it looks as if I am not making progress, but I am!! =.)

Then, I put all of my makeup into a little suitcase that fits in the upper drawer of my night stand. It looks like a little "glass box" suitcase, because it is clear. I love how easy it is to see if I need to replace mascara or gloss, etc, because everything is in order, not all mixed up. I used to use this case for my gloves and hankies, but it functions well for my makeup, because everything is together. It is fun to find new uses for things. =.)

I took this organized kick a step further by organizing my meals by days... like a menu with flexibility. I don't know how costly it will be to eat like that, but I took the list with me when I went marketing this morning.  I spent $60 on groceries. Now, to see how far the food will stretch and if it will satisfy! Will it be enough for one week or two weeks?!

I hate feeling so tired from just bringing the groceries up the stairs. It is so hard to walk sexy when your back, legs and ankles hurt!! LOL @ I feel like such an old lady...Where is that good looking boy scout with the rippling muscles when you need him?!! That would show Stella how to get my groove back!

The next step is to separate the meat, etc, into serving sizes before I put it into the freezer. Food is a big challenge when you have to think about income. This week, I noticed that I ate more, because I was afraid that I would run out of food. How stupid does that sound?! =.)
