Only 27 days until I go to the Rose City. I can’t wait to drink some wine and get some quality girl time. I haven’t left the city for non-family related purposes (except the honeymoon trip) in way too long. I haven’t been to Portland since 2005 (3/26- I just realized I haven’t been out there since Sept ‘04. Completely and totally utterly unacceptable). Totally unacceptable. I wish the hubby was coming with me but it’ll be nice to get away on my own too. Away from the furry babies, which is sad but it’ll be nice not waking up to the whining puppy.

Only 27 days to clean myself up a little. I thought it was a cliché, the whole when you get married you let yourself go.. Believe me kiddies it’s true. It happened to me. Not that I was always a fashion plate or anything.. But there was one day a couple weeks ago while walking with the dog, I took a look at myself and realized I had to do something. So I am on a mission to make over my wardrobe just a little and stop leaving the house looking like a homeless person (unless it’s 7am and the puppy is whining to go outside)

I think it was a gradual slide. Slowly I started wearing more casual clothes and over time I arrived at leaving the house in the afternoon in my pajamas and big ugly slipper boots and coat that looks like a robe shuffling down the sidewalk. Bad. Granted I work from home and don’t have to get out of pajamas if I don’t want to but I need to set some boundaries and standards for myself. 27 days and counting.
