On Keeping things light

I bought a new perfume today. Dolce and Gabanna's Light Blue. I love it - it's heavenly.

On the subject of keeping things light or lighter, I didn't weigh in at WW today as I am retaining water due to the unreasonable HEAT we are are dealing with here. I am up 2 lbs on my scale, but my clothes fit fine.

I put both air conditioning units on and did my pilates today. I took off Thursday and Friday and I can't afford more than two days off per week. Starting monday I am doing 30 mins of walking every day and pilates 3 times per week. I will do that through June. In July, I expect my weight to be down enough that I can then add 3 days a week of body sculpting. That will put me at MWF Walking 30 mins and pilates for 1 hour. TTHSAT walking 30 mins and Body sculpting. Sundays I will have the day off.

I ordered a new box of contacts as I have gone through 3 months in one but the doc says that's normal the first couple of months until you get used to them.... Gosh I hope so.... it makes me a little nuts.

I have decided officially that the extensions, ,while entirely lovely, are too long and too difficult to manage. I am going to have them removed ( what's left at any rate) and go back to tinting and curling until the fall when I have all the formals to attend. Then it makes sense.

I am prepared to be talked into a shorter lash length though... so stay tuned for that.

And my latest pet peeve - why tell me you are going to call on particular day and then NOT DO IT???? This drives me crazy. And I swear at times it is done intentionally. Either that or there is just so perspective on time. So I am sitting here patiently.... metaphorically of course. Don't imagine me pining away at the phone - that simply isn't happening. I notice usually around now, that the call I was expecting on that day, hasn't come in. Then I get a little bit nervous in case something happened and then peevish that I wasn't a priority. This is slowly getting better, but not quick enough for me.... :-)

I am an impatient pain in the ass to be honest. I know it.

But given the circumstances I am keeping things somewhat light. Light and easy is the key for the time being. In all areas of my life.

I wore Light Blue a couple years ago! I brought some back from London and adored it. But now it smells like grad school to me, so I didn't finish up my bottle. I actually find that perfume makes patients and colleagues sneeze regardless of how lightly I apply it. So I've been sticking to pretty lotion lately.

And I'm relieved about the eyelashes, if I may be honest. The very thought of having such long ones kind of freaked me out for some reason. :)
