The Weekend Recap

It was a fun weekend and a little educational as well (maybe, hopefully).

Saturday was drop Gigi off day.  The pictures show a happy little lady, but, unfortunately, it's not going so well.  We may be getting her back after the trial period.  Poor baby ... stay tuned on this one.

All smiles!  On her way to Starbucks!

I hope this works out for Gigi!  It's not looking so good though.
The picture is adorable - lots of happy faces.

I had a restaurant mapped out for dinner.  Keeping it clean, etc.  Turns out the condo building was directly across from an Atlanta flagship restaurant.  Hubby wanted to go there to "celebrate" everything.  So my clean-eat night become anything but clean (but it was yummy).

Sunday was the Steelers game and food with friends.  Also not very stellar eating.  Hot dogs, chips, cheese, wine ... not good options, not healthy choices.

Okay, so here's the education part.  I feel crappy.  Cold sore is possibly blooming again (I hate that term BTW).  Face is swollen, tummy it upset.  I had no wheat.  I had lots of dairy, too much sugar, yucky fats.  So maybe this issue is not about wheat.  I wanted to experiment with NO wheat only.  No other restrictions.  So maybe my body needs clean eating to feel it's best.  Limits on the stuff that bothers me.  Food for thought.  Still working the experiment and praying for no cold sore.  Today is back to healthy.  I need it!!

Hair day Monday today!  Wish me luck.  I'm blonde -- just the color I want my hair, yet somehow we take steps backwards.  Still not sure why this is so hard?!?!

The day rounds out with a lot of house stuff.  Exterminator (ants!!), microwave inquiry (it may not fit), bills ... lots of "Monday" things!

I'm working hard on the positive attitude.  Today is testing me across the board.  I'm paraphrasing Eckhardt Tolle (I've said this before) ... it goes something like this:  Pray for patience and the universe will respond by giving you the opportunity to practice being more patient.  (i.e. moral of story is don't ask for patience LOL)

My INTENTION today is to practice my positive attitude (thanks for the many opportunities today Universe ... well played).
