Three Weeks til Vacation

So three weeks from yesterday (I know I missed working on here yesterday but going from my best viewership day to my worst was a little disheartening) my family along with my best friend will be headed to the beach. There have been some good beach trips and not so good ones with the family. Usually I am the one that messes it up with my pessimistic approach to most everything. The first time my best friend came with us I got a cold so that was fun. Here is hoping that this year will be a great one.

In preparation for this trip I am losing weight and working with the mindset that my best friend will be there so I don’t have to be with my family if things between us get rough (which they usually do). Losing over 10lbs so far since the last time that this was really my priority was a shock frankly because I wasn’t even trying this time. With some things people say and hear that all the time it seems. You don’t going looking for something and then eventually there it is. The other day I was looking for something and because mom is usually the one to move things and ‘put them away’ I blamed her when it was my own doing putting them in a drawer I forgot I put it in. Sorry getting off track here. The weight thing was just one thing I had in mind before we leave since I did get two new bathing suits and I hated the fact that shopping in the ‘plus sized’ area made me feel fatter and the designs on the suits were mostly unflattering.

Already have the beach book picked out. My (Not So) Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella, the wonderful write who brought us the Confessions of a Shopaholic series. The title totally spoke to me (if you haven’t noticed by now). Also the back synopsis made me want it even more. Not only does the main character wish she had someone else’s life but frankly I would pay to have an inch of her life. At least with her life she has some prospects of a job and a love life. Though the initial job falls apart her parents are willing to actually help her with a new business venture. I wish I had parents like that that didn’t just say you need to keep looking for a job.

Here is just hoping that the bookI’m on now I can finish before then. Also that this whole blogging thing doesn’t just blow up in my face and make me regret everything.
