Adventures in Columbus

I haven't written since Tuesday. I was in Columbus all day yesterday and I didn't have internet access.

I'm trying to remember my positive for Tuesday but...hmmmm...I don't remember it being a bad day so that's a positive right?

Yesterday was quite an adventure. I woke up a little bit late (5:30 instead of 4:45), I was still ready to go by 6:30 but then... *sigh* I spilled coffee all over my p.j. shirt, it sloshed over the cup and down the front of me because I was in a hurry to get to the bathroom to do my hair. I tripped over the dog and stubbed my little toe (I have a nice bruise there now), I forgot my cell phone when I left and got about 5 miles and had to go back for it (I'm not driving 2 hours without a cell phone), I stopped to get gas and my tire was flat. Yes, uh huh, you read that correctly, flat tire.

Luckily for me, I was stopped at a Marathon with a mechanic place there and it was able to be plugged instead of replacing the entire tire. Whew! But, I was a 1/2 hour late getting to Columbus and I was so embarrassed walking into the 8:30 meeting, 10 minutes late. Oh well, I made it safely and that's all that really matters.

Pam & I went to Subway for lunch and I was good, I got an oven baked chicken sub on 9 grain wheat bread with veggies and honey mustard (light). I skipped the cheese & mayo *insert pout here* and had apple slices with baked chips. SEE HOW GOOD I WAS!!! But, over lunch, I spilled Diet Coke down the front of my shirt.

I was a hot mess yesterday.

I made it home by 6, let the dogs out, fed them dinner then made myself a salad with grilled chicken and mandarin (sp?) slices. I dropped pieces of lettuce on my p.j. shirt (which, don't forget had a giant coffee stain) so I added some rasberry vinaigrette stains as well. *shakes head* I put the shirt in the wash last night and borrowed a t-shirt from Lynn to wear.

See? Hot mess.

All in all though, it wasn't a bad day, regardless of what happened. I hated being late, it makes my entire day feel behind but, my boss was cool about it and it was nice to be away from the office for a day.

I have a lot to catch up on today - being out yesterday. So, I'm hoping today goes by fast. Tonight is a new Grey's! And Private Practice! :)

Believe it or not, I have a positive for yesterday (outside of it being a good day). I read Eclipse last night and I DID NOT turn the TV on, ONCE. I ate my salad in the sunroom, reading and then moved in when the sun started to go down, to the recliner where I read until I got tired. I HAVE NOT DONE THAT IN I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW LONG!! But you know, I've missed reading so much. It's nice to think maybe that's something that's coming back.

Wearing a polka dot shirt today and have already gotten a ton of compliments on it. Today might be a good day too!
