Calm after the storm..

Today is Sunday. Can you guess where I am?
Bed.

My laundry needs to be done.
My room needs to be cleaned.
I have a million little small projects to work on.
I need to run to the store and buy some make up before I scare the shivers out of my coworkers and accounts tomorrow.

Still.In.Bed.

I have to pick my man up from the airport tonight at 9. Eventually I need to pack a bag and get moving. For right now, I am totally at peace and needed a day for my mind to relax. To regroup. To smile.

Some days I wonder if I need more "me" time than the average person. And then I realize the only time I think that is when I am not getting enough me time in. So it isn't that I need too much, it is just that I need to get some then and there!
The last week has been filled with drama, some arguing and growing pains with the love of my life, rumors, busy busy work stuff, and lack of sleep from staying up half the night coughing. Today is just what I needed. Some calm after the storm.

This week I bought some fresh ginger root. I heard it helps coughs and I can't seem to kick mine after three weeks even though I don't feel sick at all anymore. I cut it into little tiny pieces and put it in hot water with some agave nectar and it is YUMMY! I highly suggest it, if you like ginger!

Get some me time in today. Five minutes or five hours, but either way.. bring a smile to your face!

Happy Sunday beautiful people!

Anxiety

I am having some severe anxiety this week and I can't pinpoint the exact source other than to say that everywhere I turn is Chaos.

So.. my goal for tomorrow is to wake up with my man (since he is crashing down here to go see Twilight with me... talk about taking one for the team! I knew I loved him!) and after he heads home... clean my room... sip ungodly amounts of green tea, lock myself into my calm room with wonderful green walls and blast the most calming music you can imagine.
Lit Candles.
The new edition of Yoga Journal
Some books I've been meaning to get to
More Green tea
and my yoga mat

I will only come out when I am back to loving the world and my heartbeat returns to a regular pace (or until I have to pee! I am thinking that will happen first) Either way... I need a minute to breathe.

By the way.. things are looking better for my friend's father-in-law. Not out of the woods yet but hope is growing...

I am on a book spree!

Amazon.com is such a dangerous place. When I am bored and craving a good book... there I go!

With the click of a button I can have all sorts of books on my doorstep for whatever suits my fancy that day...

I finished the Twilight series by Stephanie Myer
I passed it onto a friend who polished off the books in about two weeks.
I was at the spa, getting a pedicure with said friend and look over at a lady reading a book. I only saw one word on her page, asked what she was reading... sure enough.. Twilight! I hear it has outsold Harry Potter! That is awesome!

Now.. downstairs.. waiting for my reading pleasure is Angela's Ashes. Has anyone else read this? What did you think?

On order I have:
Hip Tranquil Chick by Kimberly Wilson
Journal to the Self by Kathleen Adams
Girl Seeks Bliss by Nicole Beland

I guess I am on a self discovery kick lately. Anyone else have some "Must Reads" to suggest? I am all ears....


In other news... One of my best friends had her baby Tuesday. What an overwhelming thing and what a little miracle this little girl is! It was a schedule C section.. so we had half the day to do as we please. We started off by breakfast at IHOP (she had to stop eating at 9am) that only succeeded in turning her hubby all shades of green while his sister talked about her C section just a few months ago. Poor guy! And of course... this baby couldn't come into the world without mommy and auntie Jenn having the cutest feet ever! I thought the poor asian lady at the nail place was going to have a fit when we walked in. She asked my friend when she was having the baby and was told "TODAY!" She told my friend she should just go have the baby! hehe...

Well..I am off to enjoy a long hot bath complete with Enya and bath salts followed by a wonderfully relaxing slumber. Love and hugs to all!
