Spring Break for Adults

As a forty-something, single, empty-nester I propose a spring break for adults. I 'd love to take a week away from my daily grind and PLAY. I could sleep late then hang out at the mall with my friends trying on make up and swooning over cute guys. Or I could go for broke and head to the beach for a week of fun in the sun that would put girls gone wild to shame!

But alas, it will all have to wait. My allergies are acting up, I have a bad headache, I'm behind on work deadlines and I'm 20 pounds away from a bikini. Besides, it will be more enjoyable when the kids are back in school.

Speaking of swimsuits, this is going on my bathroom mirror. I've got to get back into shape.

On the scrapbook front, I went to Archivers. They had the new Heidi Swapp and 7Gypsies lines so I picked up a few new goodies. 


My weekend goal is to complete my three current projects and maybe starting a new one. I have a feeling a lot of caffeine will be involved.

  4. I really need to get back to my diet too, I've been slacking for the last month. Luckily I haven't gained anything back but I haven't lost either & swim suit season is breathing down my neck! I've got a baby blanket I need to finish up for my new grand daughter and piles of work to do too. Hope you get to scratch out a couple of things are your To Do List. Have a wonderful day!!

  5. Sleeping in is always a great thing :)
    I have this same poster saved in my files.
    I also bought a t shirt to motivate me, took a photo of it and put it on my desk top ;)

  7. I would totally sign your proposal for a grown up version of spring break. Thanks for sharing that print, I needed to see it.

  8. The quote is so true. Another way to think about it is, even though it probably only took you 4 weeks to notice the weight change, you've probably been overeating for longer than that. So it'll take at least that amount of time to lose it. Give it time! The benefit of always being on a diet is even though you don't lose weight, you wouldn't gain as much if you didn't. :)
