I have to say that I’m totally impressed with myself. It’s only been two days but still for me it’s impressive. If you missed my post from the other day, Sleep Really is a Necessity, you missed the fact that I was in bed by 9:20pm the other night and set a new ‘bedtime’ of 11pm for myself.

Last night at 11pm I shut everything down, said good night on Twitter (and had to laugh when I saw Shannon’s response - what? but do you know what time it is? LMAO) and by 11:20pm I was in bed for the night. I must of even fallen right asleep instead of laying awake like I usually do. I didn’t sleep a super peaceful sleep but I did sleep.

I’ve noticed the past two days I’ve felt amazing. The ‘foggy’ brain that I’m always complaining about is gone. I can actually think straight and focus which is obviously a good thing. And even more impressive is the fact that I’ve worked my ‘business hours’ the past two days! Back when I first started my VA business I said I wanted to work 7am-4pm but sad to say in the two years since I’ve been in business, I don’t know that I’ve ever kept those business hours!

The past 2 days have been wonderful! Yesterday, because I was done with all my work by 4:30pm I hung out outside with Caleb for awhile and then my dad called & invited Caleb and I to meet up with him, his girlfriend, her son & my sister Melissa to watch her other son Ryan’s baseball game here in Gaylord. We went and didn’t get home until a little after 9pm and not once did I worry about work that needed to be done because I had it all completed already! It was such a nice feeling to actually sit back, relax, have fun and not even think anything work related once.

It’s 20 after 4 on Friday afternoon and I’m done with my work. I’m getting ready to head outside again to hang out with Caleb. I think we might head out to the park today. It’s nice again even though it’s a little cloudy. I’m gonna grab a book and Caleb can play until his heart is content.

Now this is what working from home is all about! (Too bad it’s taken me 2 years to get my head out of my rump and follow my schedule and get things done according to the schedule!)

I have been talking about it being time for a change around here. I was getting bored with the look plus I felt so lost without a tagline to go along with the boring ole name. Tishia Lee was just so boring all by it self.

I set up a ‘test’ blog on my domain so that I could tweak a theme to my liking but I just don’t have the time to play around with a theme right now. And I have to admit that after spending 45 minutes playing around with it the other day I got annoyed and sought out a premade theme.

I love polka dots…don’t ask me why I just do. I always have. So I went to Girly Blog Designz in search of a premade theme. And guess what I came across? Well obviously you know seems how you are looking at all the polka dots filling my page And it was even at a super cheap price because of a special she was running on it. So I couldn’t resist I had to pick it up!

As for the naming of my blog. I have to give credit to my friend Tammy Munson. She had a gazillion & one ideas rolling out of her mouth last night when we were chatting. Some of them were so hilarious!

Here’s what she came up with:

This week for Tuesday Toot I’m tooting my own horn again on the topic of weight loss. I didn’t post my weigh in last week so I’m doing it today. Last week I lost another 2.2 pounds which put my grand total up to 28.4lbs lost. This week I stayed the same and I’m totally frustrated! I don’t get it! I’m working my a** off so to step on the scale and see it the same as last week is very discouraging.

It was time to do my measurements again and I was pretty happy with those at least. I lost 1/2 inch off my arms, another 2 inches off my chest (YES YES YES!!!!), 1 more inch off my stomach, another inch off my hips and one more inch off my thighs. The total for the month is 5 1/2 inches lost which brings my grand total up to 14.25 inches lost.

So as of right now after 9 weeks this is my grand total:

28.4 lbs lost
14.25 inches lost

Wow I’ve had some bragging moments lately And guess what? Yes it’s another one today! Hopefully he doesn’t get upset that I’m posting about it - but how can I not? It’s so sweet that I couldn’t hold it back. I just had to share.

Check out what Seth was up to after we talked last night:

A certain kind of wonderful

We met without meeting…

we spoke without speaking…

Across the miles and distance…

our keyboards became our voices…

our monitors became our eyes…

two worlds combined,

in a matter of time..

a stranger touched my heart

never did i imagine

through it all

i would find someone

happiness is in my heart…

trust is in my veins….

without the games…

a certain kinda wonderful

i couldn’t of said it better myself…

Now you see why I had to brag? What a great thing to find in my inbox this morning. And I’ve never had a man do that for me before so I’m kind of giddy about it. What can I say I’m a hopeless romantic.
