Days 242-245 Shock and Awe!

Where to begin…

I got through the weekend still in a depressed mood. But, the good thing about my mood is that it did not delay me cleaning out two more cabinets for y’all to see. I know I still officially owe you 1 more plus the 1 from this week, but we will deal with that later…mmmkay?


 

Before - Please don't ask...so I don't have to lie...

 

After





Before - OMG - WTH? OOOh boy...



After



Actually, cleaning out just two cabinets made me feel a little better inside. One cabinet and drawer at a time – I WILL have a de-cluttered kitchen very soon – then on it is to the next room.

Charge!

Yesterday had me in a work frenzy trying to get more than my share accomplished – that’s how I roll. Anywhoozle, as I was leaving work at 6 last night, I was begging the Universe for a sign that I was still on the right track (you know my patience…) with my studio and overall plans and? well? Nothing. So, I left to pick up Doodlebug with little motivation for working out.

Before I pulled into the garage I retrieved the mail and holy cow! my PT test results were in. I didn’t even have to open the big envelope before I could read the “Congratulations…on passing the NETA Personal Trainer exam.” WhoooooHoooooo! I was told it would be 4-6 weeks before I knew my results and received my certificate, so I was pleasantly surprised! Hell, I was dancing!!!!!! (cabbage patch – running man, running man, ride the pony – oh yeah I’m bad!)

THERE’S MY SIGN…

I knew in that instant that I was on the right track. Elated doesn’t describe how good I felt!

Then all of a sudden, I had this abundant amount of energy and I got in my 5 miles – smiling the whole way!

When I found out, I immediately texted Mr. Strong and he replied with a “that a girl! I’m proud of you!” At just about the same time that I got Mr. Strong’s reply, this hotass sent me a CHEERS!




The Friend aka Hotass



She didn’t know that I had passed and received my certificate only moments before, so the “toast” was very appropriate and could have only been timed by the Universe! Lol.

Oh wait! It gets better.


Soon after all of this is going on I get a text from this hot mess that read:

“So I get the urge to cook and I see this recipe that looks absolutely gorgeous so I make it right! And now I don’t know what to do with it! Hmmmmm, scratching my head.” (what?! DUH!!!!! bring that shit to me!!!! She only weighs a 100lbs, so I knew she wasn't going to eat it! lol.)




Shooting Partner aka Hot Mess aka Private Chef


Really? This is actually happening? Really?

I get my certificate in the mail, I get toasted by The Friend out of nowhere, and now my very own private chef for the night?!!!!! OMG – I must have done something right somewhere!

Okay, maybe she isn’t my very own private chef – maybe she is my shooting partner – but she definitely knows how to cook!!!!!! When I asked her if she wanted some (talking with a mouth full of food) she declined. She said that she is about to demo her kitchen and wanted to see if “she still had it” – ummmmm? HELL YEAH you still have it!!

YUM doesn’t begin to describe how good this was!!!!!! AND IT WAS HEALTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!




Grilled Shrimp on fresh Spinach with Avocado and Pico - This should be in a magazine! It "was" soooo pretty!


Shock and awe – people – shock. and. awe.

Last night wiped away all the days prior to it spent in a depressed state of frustration and emotionless. So to you sexy individuals –

THANK. YOU.
