bachelorette

Well, there went August — and there went everything else I planned to accomplish during the month! 

I vowed to blog more. And that clearly did not happen. 

But, to be honest, I was tested more in the month of August than I have been in a very, very, long time. and I wasn’t exactly a pleasant person to be around.

Here’s why: 

We went to Wilmington, North Carolina on our week long pre-vacation-vacation…. during the same week, hurricane Irene decided to show up. And I had a severe case of sun poisoning {just a heads up: when the medication your on warns you to stay out of direct sunlight, this is why}.

I’ve been party planning. C’s bachelorette party was this past weekend, and I had been a busy bee getting things ready for it. Pictures to come!


I haven’t been able to sleep. Likely from a combination of stress from work and stress from everything else. In addition, the stress {and inability to workout} has made me gain weight. Which is, in turn, making me stress out more.

I’m really bummed about the weight gain. I don’t know how much it is because I never weigh myself; but I know that none of my clothes fit. I feel uncomfortable in everything. And it’s making me depressed…

I’m trying to hang in there, but to be honest, knowing I have to be in a bikini for our cruise in a couple of weeks is just compounding the stress.

So basically, blah. I’m still not 100% a fun person to be around. Blah, blah, blah.
