Down Memory Ln.

As part of our "thanks for the awesome tax season" reward, each employee in the firm got a glass star filled with Hershey Kisses.  The star is capped with a cork and a piece of packing tape.  My star still retains all it's original packaging and has sat on the corner of my desk, untouched, since April 15.  It made a move a few days ago when a partner was in my office.  He couldn't believe my self control and moved the star out of sight (behind my computer screen) to keep me from being tempted.  Should I have a breakdown and eat every last piece, the 12 inches it has traveled probably won't stop me.

It did bring back some childhood memories.  My Maw-Maw keeps Hershey Kisses in at least two places in her house.  The problem was she kept them in scalloped crystal bowls with matching lids.  I have attempted many a Mission Impossible style recon adventures trying to remove the lid from that crystal bowl without making a single, solitary noise so that my grandmother wouldn't hear me sneaking an extra kiss or five or eight.

It's the little things.

Have a happy and safe weekend,

Katye

Changes, they are a comin'

Shew wee.  That's all I can say about the last couple of weeks!  I know you all have missed me.  I too, have missed all three of you. Truthfully, I was going through a ferocious deadline at work which caused me to slack on my blogging and fit lifestyle. I'll be honest, I wasn't crazy about how my pants fit when I put them on this morning.  I went to work out yesterday, but decided to delay my weigh-in until today.  Monday's are bad enough all on their own without that scale mocking me. I want to update you all on what's been going on, but first, a little housekeeping.  You'll notice the name of the blog has been shortened to "the Journey".  I still intend to write about my journey to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle, but I also wanted to use this blog as a tool to exercise my creative and writing muscles, and so I don't want to be limited to one subject.  I want to write about all my journeys, whether it be life with a toddler, re-mode...

the Panic ensues

I thought that my morning might have to be spent calling the people at Visa and telling them that I had lost my credit card.  This would have been devastating for me.  No credit card equals having to ask the man that controls the checkbook at our house for money.  This would contradict my normal policy of just buying something and having the 5-7 business days before it arrives to convince him of why I really needed those shoes.  They were ON SALE.  ON ZULILY.  THEY GO WITH EVERYTHING.  Too bad those particular shoes don't fit my feet very well and have barely been worn.  To those who would say it is despicable that I would sneak shop with my credit card, I say let me use my credit card to order you a case of Windex for that nice glass house you're living in.  Which, I could do, because Husband found my credit card in between the seats of the car.  But first, I'd have to find where he has since hidden said card. Let's start with the goo...

Did she really just say that to me?

Ok, I'll say it, I looked super cute yesterday for church.  There's not a picture, just take my word for it, I've never let you down before!  Cute boots, cute dress, jean jacket.  Cue the cameras, I'm ready for my country music video. So, I run into Wally World after church on Sunday, because apparently there is some rule in the universe that you can't go more than a certain number of days without entering the hell hole that is Wal-Mart. While I was waiting for Matt to pull around and pick me a up a car drove past, stopped, and backed up.  The girl rolled down the passenger window and asked me where I got my boots.  What?  These things, you're too kind!  They came from Dress Barn - which while I hate the name, has some really cute stuff.  She said where?  I repeated.  Where's one of those at?  I said, I think Huntsville?  Mine came from the Outlet in Foley - oh how I miss the outlets. At this point, I'm feeling pretty goo...
