day 8

Hi my name is leslie and I am frump girl.....
I don't really care about how I looked today my knee was so so sore from yesterday I didn't want to wear heels. but I was comfortable today...
I don't know why I didn't carry pepper spray in my purse prior to last night. I don't know why I didn't try to knee the guy. I froze I was scared and all i could thing of was to scream and scream.I didnt wake up scared or have a nightmare, I just woke up annoyed at myself for not thinking clearly.

But on to today it was the most gorgeous day outside I wish I could have worked outside the entire day. I am very excited that my makeup artistry work has really had me busy! Its never the same thing twice!  I am in wedding season so it has been many many brides who are ever so stunning. I have man fun projects lined up for the summer so I am excited and preparing for that. As I have gone  one and finished more of these 30 x 30 days I have had fun deviated from my original planned outfits to mix and match some fun colors, that I wouldnt have done before.

Us against the grocery store Day 6

This is me about 11 at night after getting home from a full day at work and a trip to the store for some much needed groceries. I was wiped out. AND SAD all the news ever talks about is the rising obesity rate.  Much to jakes occasional dismay I am trying to get us flipped over to a 50% organic and gluten free diet. Its so expensive! We stock up on those items one a month and I swear that is the time when our grocery bill triples. Buts it so worth it...

 OK you can ask everyone that i encounter in real life I take very little effort to the  hair on my head. But after a few cock eyed looks from the husband I have been putting some effort in and I am kinda proud of myself.

Just another Manic Monday Day 5

The best part of the day today was logging off for the night and walking out the door. Not that anything bad happened today, I just wasnt feeling it all. I came home and told jake I was going to cook and I would be more pleasant after I cooked dinner. It was worth the additional 45 mins of crankyness I needed those potatoes au gratin. 

Is it pay day yet? I want new shoes.... 

I want to talk about something. I have been called a bimbo yeah someone actually used the word bimbo 3x's this week because I blog about clothing and makeup. I am a makeup artist and I have the pleasure of working with a few wonderful women who support me whole heartedly and shows genuine interest in what I do. I also am loosing weight and I happen to like to window shop, and since my happy rear-end is glued to an office chair yes on my break I like to online window shop.  So here is a lil bit about me I love to cook I spend majority of my evenings reading about cooking or cooking. I am active in charities on a local and national level. I read on average 4 books a month that arent cook books and I can hold my own in a conversation and if ever the convo goes over my head I am smart enough to ask for a quick breakdown so I can jump on board again.

Oh the last day of work prior to the start of vacation was the longest day of my life. I hit serious burn out. I made a promise this year that if there is overtime I am only doing 6 hours a week TOPS. I am off to enjoy the rest of my staycation!

look who I caught hanging around.

So I am getting ready to sit down and work on some post. When out of the corner of my eye i spied something on top of my clothing rod..... She is definately feeling better after being super sick for over a week. My heart breaks when my animals are sick because they cant tell me why they feel yucky. Lola never gets sick and I think that that alot of this is because she is lonesome since our MiMi cat died.

Today was the first day of my 30x30 and while I am excited to do this project, it made me a little sad because I have back slid a little bit on my weight which made these pants fit a bit too tight. I talked to Jake about my balls to the wall approach that I am about to take to shed the weight that I regained. I am embarrassed that I let my emotional frumpy-ness take over my makeup and hair.

No BUENO. Tomorrow I am going to be back in the game looking lovely and put together.
