Save everything

Sometimes you need a time-out! I was in the weirdest mood tonight. I felt like crap. Lots of reasons but mostly because I've been eating like CRAP! eating crap= making me feel like crap! It's a simple equation, barely any math. YAHOO! *I hate math* I was in Sandy visiting Adam at his family's house and I decided to take a time-out. It is my choice whether I am happy or not. So I did two things which make me SUPER happy and I'd like to share them with you:

I bought a dress and a jacket online and when I tried them on tonight once they had been shipped to me, I was less than happy with the fit. I decided to go to the physical store to see if I could exchange them for something better. Instead of one dress and one jacket, I left with eight items including shirts, sweaters, and a dress. I feel really good about my style and how I am enjoying simpler styles and colors and fits which are more flattering on me. I feel like I am finally getting it! I am not buying clothes simply because they are cute or because I want them, I am making smarter decisions. And I am finding this simpler, smarter Amy working her way into my life and I am loving it!

The next thing I did was hitting up the grocery store. I found a veggie platter and bought it. Some of Adam's family had just arrived and if anyone was feeling like me, I knew they needed more veggies and less sugar! I also bought myself a Green Machine Naked Smoothie drink.

And now you know two of my many secrets to being happy. Shopping and thoughtful service to others. What do you like to do to stay happy when you are in a bad mood?

Amy xoxo

"Take Everything"
by Mazzy Star

I can't believe you're thinking
Save everyone, inside you
Take everything
Fake everything
Save everything--about me

All of you, (all right)
Just, just because, I want to know
Do you still (come last night with clear eyes peeled/pale)
You never got there (even though you say you will)
Sorry now that you've fallen from my eyes
That's the truth

Why tell me about (everything)
Why tell me about (anything)
You're just waiting for her to come apart
You're just waiting for her

Take everything
Fake everything
Save everything
