sober sally weekend!

Six days into lent, which means six days sans drinking and I feel fantastic! The only night I almost broke was Valentine's Day when Hunter was waving around his wonderful looking and smelling glass of red, red wine (it makes me feel so fine, keeps me rockin' all of the time:). And I'll admit, I decided I'd have just one glass since it was a special occasion. It was a weak moment! However, I'm thankful we had the world's worst waiter, because during the 15 minutes it took for him to come take our drink order, I talked myself out of caving. Phew. Thanks a ton to my "super supportive" husband for encouraging me to fail! :)

This weekend was so fulfilling. I just feel so confident and refreshed. And I feel like maybe I am making leeway in breaking a habit of drinking every weekend. Saturday I got my hair cut, tried out a new restaurant with my mom for lunch and did some serious rewarding of myself at Target. Hunter went out that night and I cleaned, ground some fresh coffee beans and drank warm coffee, ate ice cream and watched Dateline and SNL. Something I've been trying to do for years! It was fabulous. 

Sunday I woke up ready to hit the ground running. I decided the apartment needed a serious purge of excess "things," so I started with our room - pitching 1/2-full perfume bottles that I've had for years, ugly jewelry and duplicate makeup. My dresser looks phenomenal and I feel so organized!  I'm hoping this this turns into feeling more on top of things and ready to get my ass to the gym. Stay tuned!

Sunday night I even had time to make a craft I bought in September 2011 - a wooden "S" that I covered in different fabric patterns:

I had the day off today (YAY!!) so I started the day by heading over to my friend Mary Kate's to meet her ADORABLE God Daughter, Audrey. She was just waking up from a nap and was so precious in little strawberry PJs. Mary Kate is a complete natural and it was so much fun watching them play together. It made me really excited for all my friends to start having babies - needless to say that kept me skipping around the rest of the day!

After that I met my dad for lunch at the Onion Roll, ran errands and spent the afternoon watching court shows (my dirty secret). I love watching trashy daytime court shows. Mostly because I like to watch judges yell at ignorant people. 

My first weekend of lent was a massive success and I'm excited to see how next weekend goes!
