Quick Update

Admittedly I've been a bit lax in posting here...and considering the fact that I fell asleep on the couch at 8:45 tonight, my guess is that part of the reason is because I've been super busy and pretty tired.  So here's a quick recap of my life of late:

1.  I'm now 13 weeks into my weight loss journey and after a -4.2 lb week I'm down a total of 31 pounds!  I really can't even believe it and I'm pretty stoked.  It all comes just in time for...

2.  My family vacation...which officially begins on April 24th (Easter Sunday).  We're heading to St. Kitts and I couldn't be more excited about it.  I love to travel, especially to new places, so this should be an amazing getaway.

3.  Bar prep for the summer is (sort of) underway already.  I've met most of my new peeps.  There's just one lone person that I have neither met nor heard from to schedule a meeting...slacker anyone???  The rest of my peeps are awesome though and I'm looking forward to a summer spent helping them out!

4.  After some issues with one of the extras I purchased with my new car, my baby is FINALLY home with me and looks beautiful.  She's been away from home so much though that I don't even have quite 300 miles on her in the 15 days she's been mine.  I'm looking forward to spending plenty of quality time with Vixen.

5.  Ten days ago, I celebrated another birthday.  I was happy to be able to spend the evening before my birthday with some great friends - I'm thankful for all of them in my life.  All in all, of late I've been able to reach a "satisfied" mental state that had seemed to elude me for a while.  Here's to hoping my happy outlook will be a gateway to more great things in my life.

And that about sums it up.  I hope that everyone out there is healthy, happy, and well-loved.  Have a great rest of the week!  xoxo

I'm in love...

...with my new car!!!  Here's a really terrible picture of her in my garage the first night I brought her home and tucked her in for the evening:

She's gorgeous, rides like a dream, and since Tuesday I'm at just over 26MPG for city driving!!!  I'm working on a name for her and have been tossing around Vixen (since I've been told she's sexy) and Bella (because that ride is just too sweet)...but I'm still thinking about it.  Names aren't something you should settle on too quick.

All I can say is I've never looked forward to commuting to and from work so much in my entire life.  Too bad that the two days after I got her it was raining in biblical amounts so she's a bit dirty right now, but I take her into the shop on Tuesday night to get some tint on those windows and some protective coating on the interior and exterior.  I'm sure she'll get a much needed bath then too.  :)

Happy early birthday to me!!!
