So, just to report back on my little listy-loo of "Angie is fanning the flames on her groove", I have been doing the things!
Made something delicious tonight that I haven't made before and it is DEFINITELY going into the permanent rotation!
I'm also working on reading not one, but TWO, paper books in the tub and in bed and wherever else it strikes my fancy.
AND, I totally dressed super cute at work every day this week. I busted out a couple of my favorite pencil skirts and dusted off the very high, very pointing heels and rocked that shit out (and felt super sassy doing it)
I'm still donating and decluttering and have someone coming to pick up a large-ish piece of furniture this coming week.
Still need to get my body movement up a little more but I'm feeling my groove again and it feels amazing!!
This was a good reminder to myself that sometimes we need to light our own pilot lights again.  |
Here I go quoting myself again! LOL
So, I am still DOING ALL THE THINGS! (some a little more than others, and some not at all, but myriad ways in which I am taking better care of myself these days).
As much as I hate to admit it...because it's vapid as fuck and doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of "All that is important"...I have some new things making me very sparkly lately:
* My best girlfriend sent me a HUGE package of skin care. Expensive shit that I would NEVER buy for myself because I am just not that girl. She also included a pile of Christian Dior eyeshadow palettes, ColourPop lipsticks, Chanel eyeshadows, and a mound of other random skin-care things.
* The last time I was in Atlanta for Thanksgiving I went ape shit in a great little consignment store and found SIX new pairs of boots and shoes. All new. All crazy expensive originally. All MINE. Because I WILL spent $9 on a pair of ankle boots that were originally $200.
(Can you tell that getting a good deal makes me feel sparkly?)
* Picked up a gorgeous scarf clip made by a Queer artist so that I can now pin my cheetah-print scarf in all manner of glam fuckery. My pin is a replica of a DEATH'S-HEAD MOTH and it's just amazing.
* I busted out my beloved knee-length cheetah print faux fur coat and have been wearing it all over town, feeling sassy and happy.
* I subscribed to Arwen's magazine, "The Cartomancer", and am loving it.
Things I am doing for myself that are not about new stuff:
* I decided not to attend my "family" gathering on that one side of the family for the second year in a row. Self-care is sexy and all.
* I got rid of a huge piece of furniture and 2 more bags of bullshit. I also took another huge bag of stuff to consignment.
* I'm still doing therapy with my amazing, savage, badass therapist and I feel so light and free and plugged in.
* I look in the mirror every day and feel such gratitude to love myself and my life like I do.
My gasoline on the fire has been (as you can see above) a bunch of random things but damn, it's all making this girl pretty sparkly again. Starting to feel myself come out of that "I'm exhausted and my job is trying to murder me..." place again.
Also? Plans to make me dance. Big plans. Secret plans. PLANSSSSSSS.
