This is what my boy looks like:

Yup – he’s that big

Dear Diary,

I am so excited, we leave tomorrow for Mexico. I think I am pretty much packed. I am totally over the moon that my magic suit from Victoria’s Secret fit…and it truly is a magic suit. It really sucks in your gut. That is a beautiful thing.

I got my entire body waxed yesterday…well, almost entirely. I did the legs, bikini, underarms…Jeff couldn’t be happier that he doesn’t have to sleep next to Sasquatch anymore. Me too:)

And I have a special surprise today. My good friend from college is in town and we are squeezing in a lunch. She currently lives in France, so I love a chance to see her. She and I met and hit it off immediately. I can’t wait to catch up with her.

After that, I am loading up on SPF 70 and putting on my big, floppy hat. Mexico, here I come.

Talk to tomorrow,

Dear Diary,

I got some stuff together for the big trip. I made out a cheat sheet for our pet-sitter. I like to have crib notes out on the counter just as a back-up. I also got my Victoria’s Secret shipment today.

I was going to do a VS fashion show to see what fits and what I should take with me. However, Eddie had a good point…I should wait until after I get my legs waxed…for my sake and the sake of anyone helping me. He’s right, it is not a pretty sight. Thankfully, I am getting that done this afternoon.

My friend Heather and Justin sent me some photos. It was of their baby, James. He got to come home from the hospital yesterday. I am so happy for them. He looks so healthy. Mom and dad look fantastic as well.

More packing today and we should be good.

Whitney Houston attempted to sing her hit “I Will Always Love You” during a concert Monday night. Check out how it went:

Hi there! So as I mentioned on the air, Sam from here at the station, got out to Reno to see the Brad Paisley show this weekend and pronounced it “brilliant!” I believe him – that man is crazy talented! But I never knew he could draw, not did I realise he’s a superhero sent here to save the other country artists! Here’s the proof and it runs during his concerts:

Fun stuff! Enjoy your day

Dear Diary,

Yesterday was a super-long day, but I got caught up something I have been meaning to do for a while. I was at work, so I didn’t want to call. I wouldn’t be able to give my pals my undivided attention. However, I was able to send out some emails that covered a lot of info. I now it sounds impersonal, but with the difference in time zones and all of our crazy schedules….sometimes emails are the best way to chat. I wrote to Heather and Allison in Florida and Dana in Texas.

I miss those gals so much. I hope we can schedule some sort of girls weekend soon.

I must start packing for next week. I feel like I am totally procrastinating. I need to check toiletries, figure out warm clothes to take…the sad part is I haven’t worn those Summer clothes in a while. I think I am putting off finding out what doesn’t fit anymore. Blech.

And of course, that didn’t stop me from having a frosted cookie last night.

Ask CEOs to pick their favorite color and what they select will often be very different than what most people would pick.
877 CEO’S took an online personality color test, Here are the results:

they were 3 X MORE likely to favor MAGENTA than the public at large,

3 X LESS likely to select RED

and 3½ X LESS likely to choose YELLOW.

The conclusion of the study is that CEOs are wired differently.
They also found that the typical CEO is

- more sensitive and private than the typical person

- less likely to be a perfectionist or to be dominant and more likely to be emotionally unstable.

- CEOs are not as self-assured as the public at large,

- they are more cooperative and less forceful than the typical person,

A 60-second test

It is almost entirely visual and asks you to click on colors, sometimes ordering as many as 15 colors from favorite to least favorite. The results turn out a personality profile.
Here’s the link to the test:

Dear Diary,

Jeff wasn’t feeling well, so he took the day off yesterday. I selfishly love having him home during the day. This is going to sound so mushy, but he tucks me in for a nap when he is home. Even though he was the sick one, he tucked me in. I sleep so much better.

I was hoping to get my magic bathing suit in the mail today, but no such luck. I wonder if I should start looking in the local stores. I don’t know if they will have the magic belly flatten-er, though.

I start the day really well…with a healthy yogurt, or perhaps a fruit smoothie. I course, I end the day with chicken wings and a pinot noir. Did you know that a bottle of wine has 700 calories or more? That hurts…my gut, mostly.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Especially since today is free pancake day at IHOP.

Talk to tomorrow,

Dear Diary,

Yesterday was so rainy and nasty, it is nice to see the sun will be out today. Jeff and I somewhat hibernated yesterday. He spent a lot of time in the kitchen, so I made sure to get in a workout before those cookies came out of the oven.

There is no better way to spend a rainy day than to fill the house with the smell of fresh-baked cookies. Of course, it certainly isn’t helping me on my path to losing weight. I don’t think anything we did this weekend was good for that…lol. We did have fun, though.

Eddie came over to our neck of the woods, and I don’t know why…but we started looking at old photos. It was crazy, and so much fun. However, it made me miss my friends. There were so many great pictures of hanging out with my pals from Florida and Minnesota. It got me to thinking I should get the gals together for a weekend. I miss them.
