On tapping my inner Goddess

I forgot about that phrase.

I received a Myspace message from Jax today. She and I have corresponding that way for a week or two.

I told her all the things that I was doing for myself, and she only balked at the eyelash tinting and perming.

Hey - we can't all have perfect lashes on BOTH eyes.

So I filled her in on the rest of my "Contessa re-invention" as I like to call it. She told me that after a particularly daunting personal situation, she started tapping her own inner goddess. I had forgotten what a great phrase that was.

And it is indeed what I am doing.

I lost a 1.5 this past week - I am still floating from that victory. That's a total of 5 for 4 weeks that I have been eating differently.

I am filling ALL of my spare time with activity and work. Not Work-my-career-kind-of-work, but just things that need to be worked on for ME. Like my house, like my music, like my students, that kind of work. I have added 5 days of walking in the morning, I have now included 3 days of pilates in the afternoon.

Anything to keep my mind and body busy. It serves several purposes.

1. It keeps me from dwelling and ruminating on the personal issues in my life.
2. It keeps me fresh for the cat and mouse game I am a somewhat willing participant in
3. And It keeps the Contessa looking and feeling like a Contessa

And Let's face it - isn't that the real issue here?

Today, I took a nap. It was the BEST and most delicious nap I have had in awhile.

When I woke up, I put together a delicious glass of iced water with slice lemons and limes. And I set about looking on the internet for Green non=preseciption contact lenses.

And I found them

They aren't hideously expensive and I am finding my hazel eyes a bit boring. So I went to green.

I paid through Paypal and they will likely ship out tomorrow.

The new and Improved contessa is on her way....

Watch out world.
