Not too bad! I wasn’t as productive as yesterday or the day before, but I did get some things done. And the delivery of my Macbook made it alllllright.

We usually go into hibernation for Christmas and this year was no different! Christmas movies, EggNog (or as we like to call it: Nawg), new Christmas pajamas, Food, Music, more food, more music, more nawg, more movies...and Steelers football ON CHRISTMAS!!! It was a wonderful weekend!

...now that I think about it, I was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster today. I can think of a couple really high points where I was bubbling over...and I had a couple weird wonky times too. My wedding dress fabric was perfect tho...

I had a good day, but it was too rushed. I squeezed a little too much into my day, but now that I’m at the end of it, I think it was necessary and worth it. Sometimes I just have to have one of those days.

Today, I had to pull my shit together and have a LuxeGirlPowerBreak Session with myself. I used to do this all the time, and I’m now reintroducing them into my routine. They’re very necessary - especially while planning this destination wedding!

I was on Operation Stay Warm all day so I kept warm thoughts with me all day! And as far as the wedding tasks go, I did set up all of my FedEx alerts so that I can keep track of my fabric package from Bridals by Lori...does that count? Yes, I think so. I got some great news from Guatemala too!

I worked, opened my first business bank account, killed it at the gym, worked some more, got a status update on my wedding dress fabric and completed a few more errands...But I did get to decorate our Christmas tree tonight, so there! My day instantly became a day of Christmas-y Wonderfulness!

Even though she had to trek through the snow to get to the gym (and I use trek, dramatically of course), Sweatin for the Destination Omi is still going strong!
