Just popping in to post the Mr. Linky for Soap Opera Sunday! I have another day of laughter, shopping and eating entirely too many carbs with my best girls ahead of me, so I’m sorry to once again postpone my soapy tale, but I swear I won’t leave you hanging forever!!!

Happy Soaping! Can’t wait to read!

SHEESH I’ve been a downer lately! It’s like I took every good thing in the world and decided I hated it!

In an attempt to be more positive, I have a list of things that are making me happy today!!!

• I just had my eyebrows waxed. Unibrow be gone! I look like a new woman!
• I’m getting my hair done tonight. I’m thinking lots of sexy red and keeping the length. Va-va voom!
• It’s about ten degrees cooler than average here this week. So far this has been the MOST glorious year in Phoenix!
• In just over 24 hours I’ll be on my way to the airport to pick up my girls to start our rockin’ vacation!!
• As a thank you for doing him a HUGE favor (and being the best admin in the history of the world for the two years I worked for him) my former boss (and dear friend) bought me THESE!

  

  I refer to them as my “everyday Manolos” even though they are my first and ONLY Manolos and I’m a wee bit scared to wear them. Maybe when I go to see Sex in the City this weekend I will don them!

   

• I went to the gym last night and I feel SO much better today because of it. I will never go a week without going to the gym again. Even if I have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn.
• I just had a delicious turkey sandwich with avocado for lunch.
• I got a new covered parking space at work . . . away from the outdoor smoking area I was planted next to for the last month. It’s sad how happy this makes me.
• It’s JUNE! I love June.

And with that, I am off to find more things to make me happy, despite sitting at work freezing because the air conditioner is turned up full blast. I’m convincing myself that I LOVE THE COLD!

I’m posting so late that most of you won’t even see this until tomorrow . . . because I suck.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I was as exhausted as I have been for the past few days.  I’ve been a WRETCH to live with.  Poor Matt felt the brunt of my tired attitude as I went full on ape-s**t on him not once but TWICE this weekend.  While I feel like I was somewhat justified in my meltdowns, he didn’t deserve the insane woman who jumped out of my body and attacked.  Did I say insane?  I mean OH MY FREAKING CRAZY PSYCHO.  If I thought he read this here blog I’d write him a huge apology, but I’m pretty sure he’d rather rip out his eyeballs than read my ranting, sooooooo yeah.

I HATED almost every moment of performing in the musical (I, the person who chose musical theatre as her college major because I love performing more than almost anything on earth.).  I couldn’t wait for it to just be OVER.  Saturday we had a matinee followed by a cast party (complete with MEXICAN FOOD.  Who’s lame idea was that?) and then another evening performance.  We were told we needed to add a matinee because every performance would sell out.  Matinee?  1/3 full.  Final performance?  Maybe 1/2.  It SUCKED.  The director kept coming backstage during the final performance to tell me my energy was way down.  YA THINK???  I didn’t even stick around to say goodbye to anyone after the show. I  just left.   Then attacked my poor husband for a good half an hour.  Good times.  I publicly declare that I will never be in a church musical again.  And if I do?  I deserve what I get.  Goodbye, Dolly.  And good riddance.

I need a pedicure.  I need to wash my car.  I need to go to the gym (Matt has told me that my attitude improves so much when I work out consistently that he’s making it mandatory and putting it in a post-nup.  Hahah) and I need to sleep.  Hmm, that’s a lot to do in an evening.

Tomorrow I FINALLY get my hairs did.  I asked around and think I found someone good.  His name is Scotty and his girlfriend manages the Crack (or M.A.C) counter at Nordstrom.  She has FAB hair so I’m giving him a shot.  I’m also getting my woolly mammoth eyebrows waxed tomorrow, thank heaven.  I’m scaring myself whenever I look in the mirror.

Wednesday, my girls come to town for our annual soiree!  I cannot TELL you how excited I am.  Julia, who is a goddess, sent out our Diva Packets last week and OHMYGOSH.  Last year the theme was Diva University (so great, check out the diva packets here), but this year?  Even better.  This year we’re rock stars in a band called Fallen Angel and Phoenix is the final destination of our world tour.  DO YOU SEE how cool the stuff Jewels did for us is?  Holy crap.  We even have rock star names.  GENIUS I tell you.   I can’t wait to see my ladies, we have SO MUCH laughing and shopping and eating to do!!  This trip is the best part of my year I tell you.

And with that, I’m off to take a nap under my desk.
