Me Time!!
So this past weekend I was able to take off down south & spend some time catching up with my girlfriends Valyn & Jennifer. I ran around with both of them quite a bit when I was single. I left Friday night & came home Sunday evening. It was soo good to take some time for myself!! I tend to neglect myself & end up resenting the world for it (Just ask my hubby he will agree). I learned that I don’t function well unless I take time for myself. We enjoyed catching up, staying up late & they even introduced me to two more girls that I hit it off with!
We ate so much! Valyn loves to cook so she made all sorts of delicious homemade stuff for me! We did a little shopping, did some scrap booking & just had good old fun! I have known these girls for 4 years & Valyn especially has seen me through a lot! She made a trip up to Idaho before I moved to Utah over 4 years ago so she knows my past life & my current life. She has been such a good friend & I am grateful she has been a part of my life!
Here is Valyn and I
Jani, Jennifer & Tiffany – here we are eating at a yummy steak house. 
After I got home on Sunday night Justin turned around & left for 3 days to Texas for work. The kids are at the other parents so I was stoked to know I got another 3 days to myself!! WOWZA!! 6 days of ME time!
So what do you think I have been doing after I get home from work in the evenings? Watching television? soaking in the jetted tub? reading a good book? eating bon bons??? NOPE! I think I have forgotten how to relax, Instead I have been PURGING all the junk in my house.
I have done laundry, finished painting Savanna’s bedroom, hauled out 2 garbage sacks full of junk from the kids rooms, returned library books, returned merchandise to stores that has been sitting there for months. I have vacuumed stairs, cleaned toilets, taken borrowed items back to people, mailed off pictures to family, made flyers for young womens, sent in rebates, dusted, mopped, wiped down walls, cleaned my oven & refridgerator, stuffed eggs for this weekend, organized shelves, washed windows, hung shelves in the girls bedrooms… ontop of working full time!!
I have officially decided my ambitious ocd husband has finally rubbed off onto me! Tomorrow night is the last ME night.. I think I may just come home & crawl in bed after work!

Me time is good time! I would love to be able to get a lot of organizing and projects done. Maybe some day! I love weekends away with the girls!

Now, now. Give me some credit also. I think those years of sharing a room with your OCD Type A older sister may have rubbed off on you a bit also. 😉
I love a good purge, as long as it does not involve heaving over the toilet. LOL
I think I would have probably done the same thing as well.
It’s great to see some pictures of your friends that I have heard you talk a lot about on the phone, Valyn in particular.
It looks like it was a much needed fun break.

WOW you have been busy! Dang someone lit a fire under your hiney didn’t they?! lol
As for the answers to your questions…yes it will be Sept before you get to read about Easter!! lol JK Haven’t you be reading my blog/goals? I am supposed to be caught up to Feb by the end of April….so that would put me at doing Easter around the end of May. But you know I am a huge slacker with the blog, so I can’t be certain! lol
As for Jillian’s 30 day shred, I have not tried it. But I have heard EXCELLENT things about it! I would like to try it before I buy it…I might need to check out the library to see if they have it (or maybe netflix). Then I can put it on my to buy list! lol
