I'm packing for Utah this weekend. I've been throwing clothes in a suitcase at the bottom of bed for a week now, only to discover its S N O W I N G this weekend there. Ha ha.....this flip flop loving girl doesn't own many warm clothes. I'm sure I can come up with a few things. I'm having serious issues with my wardrobe these days....lots of malfunctions! I'm down to a size 8 in some brands and in other brands a 10. I forgot to pick up a belt yesterday while I was out shopping. I was soooo disappointed to find a beautiful black and white suit on sale at Dillards for 75% off (WOW...great savings) and the skirt (size 10) fell off of me. I couldn't get it tailored if I wanted too!! I'm so thrilled to be having these kinds of problems....it's been a long time coming. Last year at this time I was a size 16 and miserable. I'm just amazed at how much God keeps changing my life. Every 6 months and/or every year it seems like I turn the page and start of new chapter. (more on that note in a second..but back to packing)
Do you ever feel like you have everything you need when you pack to go off?? or is it just me. I never do....lists of items run through my head. Potential scenarios always feed into my need to take everything I own. Seriously, I may not need the proverbial "kitchen sink", but I'm thinking about ripping the handles off the facet. Oh yeah... I hate packing...its always been stressful. I think it goes back to my childhood days where I spent many many days on the road traveling the entire United States with my Air Force family. I was either born in the wrong family or the good Lord has a sense of humor.....I think its the latter...He definitely has a sense of humor!!!
Here's another update for my friends! I went to my final interview this past week for a new job at the hospital. I've been an employee at this same hospital for 16 years! Actually, longer than that if you count the years I was a candy striper. As many of you know I work at a high risk pregnancy doctor's office for many years that's connected to the hospital, thus I've stayed a hospital employee while enjoying the best of both worlds....staying home with the babies and working just a little bit here and there. I can't tell you how blessed I am to have kept my foot in the door and built strong bridges. I start back to work (night shift/ part time) as soon as I get home from Utah. Thankfully, they were very understanding about how important this Utah trip is to me. I'm so nervous!!! I don't want to be away from my kids any more than what I absolutely have to! but I know I'm doing the right thing by getting benefits (health insurance) for my family especially in these uncertain economic times. I'll continue to work at the Plastic Surgeons office. I absolutely love working there....its the best job I've every had and I can't say enough nice things about the people I work with and my patients. They are precious to me!!
I can't leave you without a tease photo of my CX projects. These are subject to change as I have been know to say "I hate it!!" and start all over again. With one of these, there's a pretty good chance of that happening.
See some of y'all soon!!
Love,
Stacy
