Brag much? Why yes, yes, I do!

-


There are smiles all around at our house tonight.
My kids get their mother back.
My husband gets his wife back.
My house gets it's slave back.

Why?

Because I'm DONE!
I finished the second half of my course in record time.
When I set out my accelerated 6 week schedule for the second half of my course, I worried that the goal was a pretty lofty one.
So I got started on it right away.
I concentrate, I focused, I ignored friends and family and I dedicated 10-12 hours a day and...
you know what?
I finished the course not in 6 weeks, not 4 weeks, not even 3 weeks..
Nope.
I finished it in ONE!

Oh yeah!!
Yes, I'm bragging, and yes, I'm hurting my shoulder from patting myself on the back, and yes, I'm feeling bullet proof,
Because I did it.
I set a goal...and I blew it out of the water!

That's a first for me.
Honestly.
All through my life I have had a tendency to set unrealistic goals that usually result in failure.
F.A.I.L!!
Not this time!

It feels sooo good!

Now...off to study for the exam (yuck!) but before I start I've got some family to love, some friends to visit with, some peppermint hot chocolate to drink...and some bathrooms, bedrooms and laundry to clean. 

Oh yeah...and maybe buy some food to eat.  Or bake!

...and that, my friends, concludes this blog. I think yesterday's post is an appropriate way to end it. I really don't have the time to keep a blog anymore.  My posts aren't as entertaining as they used to be (sometimes I bore myself) and right now it just seems more like a chore than a creative outlet. I will keep the blog active for awhile until I can find the time to slurp all the posts into a book but I don't think I'll be adding anything new. Thanks for reading.  Thanks for all the support over the years.  Thanks for listening to the Crazee Chick rant... See you later.... Lisa

24 Hour Relay Report--Facebook Style

Status: Walked almost 30 km this weekend. Walked from 11pm until 3 am--did 20 km--stumbled, weaved, bobbed, and limped through that last 2 kms and now have empirical knowledge of what it feels like to be asleep on your feet.   Feet hurt. Legs hurt. Hips hurt. 75 year old man passed us during our 4th hour. He was on his 16th hour and managed to run 165 km in a 24 hour period. Inspiring! Humbled by elderly, fit man, called the Lone Wolf. What courage. Reached my fund raising goal.  Thank you to all who donated.  Your contributions helped to raise over $1,000,000.00 and send 852 kids to summer camp this year.  Thank you.  Visited Starbucks 3 times in effort to warm up. Weather was not on our side. Cold and rainy! Ick!  Slept in a tent trailer for the first time in my life! It was so cool. It was also especially wonderful to be out of the rain and not sleeping on the ground. Met a bunch of crazy people.  Got to hang out wif...

Scents and Scents-ability

Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all! Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload? Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl. But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means... BRING ON THE PERFUME!! The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgi...
