MARCH!!

Ya know, it always seems that March does indeed “come in like a lion.” That’s not a complaint since I have a lot to do and a short time to get it done. Sometimes I think the faster things roll in, the better. (Generally this feeling is AFTER I have had a pot of coffee and BEFORE my nap.) So this week I have to finish up the next big hurdle to my work project. I really have until Friday which is like an eon away, but if nothing is happening by tomorrow I’m going to get a little nervous again.

I also received a package today which has my lovely black cherry swing dress in it. I tried it on and of course it’s tight across my chest. Grr…Well, that was bound to happen. It gives me the motivation to proceed with my next step at the gym. I am planning on getting a few sessions with a trainer so I can start to add some much needed strength training to the routine. I am in a familiar cardio rut and yoga is great, but not really pushing me hard enough. Plus cute sales guy at the gym is being rather persistent with the trainer “deal” right now. Arm stuff is not my favorite by a long shot, but neither is the fat peeking out from my bra under my arms. Yuck…

Tomorrow I am supposed to receive my new phone. My contract ended almost a year ago and I had been kicking around the idea of an upgrade to a Blackberry, but I didn’t really want to spend the money. I barely use my cell phone anyway. Well it looks like my procrastination has finally paid off. The special deal Sprint offered me last week was to get the Blackberry for 99 cents. Hard to turn that one down. Yeah, it means my plan is going to be more expensive, but I will probably use it more once I can figure out how to get my work email on the phone. The only part I am not looking forward to is calling Sprint for the activation. I am currently on the Nextel network and apparently even though the 2 companies merged years ago, they still haven’t integrated everything. Three years ago when I got my current phone I was on the phone with customer service for 2 hours because I was swapping from a Sprint network to a Nextel network. Now I’m going back to a Sprint network so I am not sure what to expect.

Tonight is my hair appointment with Ruth. I have some pictures I printed out for possible hair styles for the shoot in May. I need to get her opinion on any changes we need to make now with color and cut. I think the big decision for tonight is what to do with my bangs. I have a feeling we are going to end up chopping them..er, shaping them.

Hmmm, what else? Sometime next week Dad will get here. He is leaving OH tomorrow. It’s been a long time coming. The next couple of months should be interesting…
