great day!

Today was a great day at the office! I have to say it was the first full day where everything went RIGHT! No crazy, messed-up, confusing, stuff came up. Everything I did today I KNEW how to do, so it was a nice day to feel like I accomplished everything I needed to without getting frustrated or confused. I even had some stuff that was out of the norm but I still figured it out and it was fine. I even had time to clean the office which I haven't been able to do thoroughly since I started working there (before I began working in the office, I would clean it for my husband---but now I have to do both and I always prioritize the officework over the cleaning work so it never gets done. But today it got done!) Today, for the first time I was able to balance all the bank accounts perfectly! I know this sounds silly, but I have been struggling for months through MESSES that were left behind by the previous office manager so it has been a real pain to try to figure out half the things she had done(wrong) and make them right. But last month I finally got them all corrected, so this month when the statements came, they were PERFECT! It felt so good to have everything in order the way it is supposed to be instead of a bunch of notes attached to items with questions about it and a list of all the research I had done to try to fix it but still hadn't quite figured it out ,so everything was in "limbo" and quite frankly, just a complete MESS! I mean really, there is no reason an item should be on the books that hasn't cleared the bank in 5 months! Something must be wrong, right?! And it was, but now it is all fixed woohoo!
I like that feeling, knowing you got everything done (in the time allotted) and you did it right, and there isn't a stack of unfinished business or a stack of problems either.
It was also a good day because even though I did fantasize about eating freshly baked cookies-I didn't make any. My husband even asked for some after dinner and I handed him a box of store bought cookies instead (I can refrain from those, but warm just-out-of-the oven cookies don't have a chance with me). So my stomach is pleasantly full from a good healthy dinner of pineapple, lime/chili seasoned black bean, and saffron rice, so I have no need or desire to eat junk food-woohoo! Maybe I'm crossing a bridge. I even thought about the sensation of eating warm cookies versus the sensation of wearing my pants and having them be baggy instead of tight. I chose the baggy pants. I HATE the feeling of tight pants-makes me think I'm stuffed in like a sausage roll-yuck! So, maybe my fall "kick it in gear" attitude is starting and I'll get back on my harder workout program. I would like to actually lose a few pounds before we head to Branson for Labor Day. The Tanger Outlet mall is there and its more fun to buy small clothes than just regular clothes! :) I've already been making my shopping list...can u tell I am really anxious to get my outlet shopping fix! I haven't been to an outlet mall since last summer when we were in MI, so I'd say I am definately ready for my Outlet I.V. (yes I'm an outlet junkie!) But I love it! Tell you what, that's the best diet for me (outlet shopping), when I am there I have no need to eat, let me just squeeze in as many stores as I can before I have to leave-eating lunch wastes too much of my shopping time! :)
