My flight leaves this afternoon and some pretty severe storms are supposed to move in today, which makes me nervous and I'm already a nervous flier anyway. Ugh, I might have to buy a drink at the airport.

As I packed last night, I realized I own so much black clothing that I'm basically wearing black my entire trip. I feel so comfortable in black clothing though! Yesterday I wore a bright blue shirt to work and I ended up spilling some lunch on myself and lamented that I wasn't wearing black, lol.

Black is so flattering though glitzyglow ! Safe travels, we had some bad storms last night with huge hail and high winds. It was intense!

I'm temp fostering another foster's pup tonight. It's a golden/saint bernard mix. OMG. The dude who's fostering him is single and cute too, but we have never had much of a chance to interact with each other at the rescue events. He's bringing him to my apartment tonight.

I hope the storms don't disrupt your flight glitzyglow!

I have a bunch of little things to get done today and instead of doing them I'm going to go to yoga. I'll get stuff done after. I hope.

So, the girl who is BEC to me is posting all this stuff lately about how Beyoncé is overrated. Like, I get her music may not be your style, but denying she has talent is dumb to me. I HATE country music, but I can admit when a country singer has talent.

I can figure out if it is pissing me off because she is BEC, or because I loved Lemonade and people talking smack about it (Although I doubt she watched it) pisses me off.

So... in light of recent events... I'm starting a mail order bride service to relocate women who want to flee America if it becomes a Trumpnation

I slept for 12 hours yesterday. I think at some point I really threw my body out of whack way more than I thought! I'm trying so hard to stick to my new schedule of getting up at the same time and having a little morning routine. It's so hard when you work from home, but I think I really need the structure. Going to start reading New Rules of Lifting for Women today. Here's to hoping I like the plan and will stick to it! I do like lifting and love the idea of changing my body composition so it sounds like a good start.

I loved NROLFW and definitely noticed a big change in my body when I did it. I didn't follow the meal plan too well, but I did do the protein shakes.

I am on a bargain shopper high.



I am planning my birthday party and I wanted to get everyone matching custom shirts - I have a vision here.



I have been price shopping and had a goal of staying at $150. I found an online retailer that had this price, but I also talked to a local place because yay local businesses. After lots of back and forth, I finally got the local place to almost match the online place...it was a little more, but I was ok with it. When I said yay, place the order - 



(They didn't call ASAP as possible!)

So I went in today, and they added an additional $50 because it was now considered a rush order.





I went back to the online place. But, before placing my order, I was like...hey, maybe I can get cash back through ebates...



and bam - 6.5% cash back. Then I noticed that I could get 9% cash back on Groupon, so I though hmmmm...wonder if there is a groupon for this place



- guess what, there was.



So I bought the groupon, then went back through ebates to get to the tshirt website.



All in all, after the cash back and the groupon discount, I spent less than $100.

Black and grey clothing makes up about 90% of my clothing. Yet I'm drawn to white animals, so I have stock in sticky lint removers.

I went to the pet store today and was talking to the owner. He said Sammie most likely has cancer and that dwarf hamsters only live 18-24 months. Sammie is 16 months. He also said that most small rodents, that are pets, develop cancer because they live longer than their usual life expectancy and the cancer takes them in their "old" age. I wish I would have known their life expectancy was that short. So I asked about teddy bear hamsters and he said they'll live 3-5 years, so I don't have to worry about Spencer for awhile yet.

When I mentioned the vet he said that it's generally $40/50 just to walk in, plus any tests they were to run. He also said that, honestly, if it were cancer, the only thing they would do for him is euthanasia. He doesn't seem to be in any pain so I think I'll just let him koko. I am sad. He's a cute little guy and I'll miss him when he goes. Not sure what to tell DD2. She knows I was concerned about the lump so I'm sure she'll ask next time I have them.
