Wednesday - Where is Everyone?

[chalupa]

Helloooooooo?

Hoping everyone is not as swamped at work as I've been. Come up for air sometime!

I'm here!

Not much going on although I'm excited that my photography class starts tonight! I also tried on that first wedding dress last night. I was really happy as the hip area is no longer tight. The scale hasn't moved but I've clearly gained muscle and lost fat. My body fat % on the scale has been going down but I wanted to verify with a clothes try on. WOOT!

I'm at a conference near Milwaukee and keep saying it like Wayne did on Wayne's World. Lots of tough topics but good info I can take back to my team.

Otherwise nothing exciting happening.

I am working 10 hour days this week because I am off Friday and had to give up the PTO back when the basement flooded.

Our weather can't make up its damn mind, it's warm today but we're supposed to have snow tomorrow.

In other news, the cute engineer at work is no longer afraid of me. He said hi yesterday (usually he just sorta stares at me or prairie dogs from his cube if I walk by).

I've been busy. We're going through a reaccreditation process at work and I'm technically part of the management team, so I've had to be in a lot of meetings.

Last night I did a 1 hour intro to hip hop class with a friend, then went to my usual 1 1/2 hour modern class. I'm already sore today. I wonder how bad it'll be tomorrow. I'm proud of myself for being able to do it all, though.

My federal tax refund came through so last night I bought three pairs of dance shoes, 2 different ones for jazz because I'm not sure which color we'll need and character tap shoes. I splurged and got the brand I know is generally a better fit for my feet even though it was a lot more than the others. It's worth it to not have my feet hurting!

I'm really enjoying the LeTote subscription that my sister got me for Christmas. Lots of good work pieces, and if I put it in the mail on Thursday night, I'll have a new box by Monday evening, so I can actually get a new box every week! But the gift subscription runs out in a week or two, and I'm debating whether to keep it or not...I've really been trying to cut down on unnecessary expenses, and it is $59/month, which is not cheap (plus additional costs if I decide to keep any of the clothes!). I feel like I'm getting lots of good use out of it, but I also don't normally spend much on clothes for myself.

Had my first therapy session this AM specifically targeted towards ADHD. it was interesting, in a good way.

I am now chilling in the salon chair getting my skunk roots done. Since it is so dreary outside, we decided to go extra blonde to bring some shine to my days.
The down side is more upkeep but whatever.

udscoobychick, LeTote is the one where you rent the clothes?

My peer and I are on a training and we are both COMPLETELY lost. It's about a software program that everyone else has already been trained on or has been using. It's kind of comical. I emailed the woman who organized to ask for the "for dummies" version

[udscoobychick]

bullygirl979, yup...each box contains 3 clothing pieces (shirt, skirt, pants, dress, blazer, etc.) and 2 accessories (handbags, scarves, earrings, necklaces, bracelets). You can keep them as long as you want, but they don't send you a new box until you put the current one in the mail. They handle laundering everything (YASSSS!), and if you like something, you can just keep it, and they'll charge your account for it.

My current tote has the following clothing items:

  
All great for work, and they mix and match well with my wardrobe!  I can also swap out anything I don't want for something in the same "class" (i.e. a piece of clothing for any other piece of clothing, but not an accessory), which is nice.
