Anyway, isn't that what they say? "Get that body going and hopefully the mind will follow suit?" Because currently my mind is still on the couch watching Project Runway reruns eating all the leftover Christmas chocolate while my body has been cleaning and organizing the kitchen for the past two days. Somehow motivation left for a holiday right after Christmas Eve and I haven't seen it since. Motivation seems to think I can get along just fine and dandy without it. However, it's really hard to get things done without motivation smoothing the path ahead and somehow make the job more enjoyable. So now everything feels like a chore. But I had to get the kitchen cleaned and organized in order to let all good luck and fortune enter my residence for 2008. According to the Redbook article titled "Get Lucky in 2008" I needed to have my house clean and organized before New Year's Day. I couldn't do ANY cleaning on the Day. It all had to be done beforehand. So motivation be damned I did it. Phew.
So today I am leaving for a place where I need absolutely no motivation whatsoever. My Friend Gail's house up in Los Angeles. Where the kid's will play while she and I sit on the couch and talk, eat and watch bad reality tv. And, with any luck (I wonder if my good luck will follow me up to LA or if Gail had to have cleaned her kitchen...hmmm....) Quacker Factory will be on QVC whereby sending us into catatonic amazement of Jeanne Bice and her headband. (of course I'm well aware that she and that headband are laughing all the way to the Quacker Factory bank as I write this.) But the point is..... I don't need any motivation to do this little venture. Well, I will need some if I decide to go with Jeff to the Judge Judy set to take my picture in the courtroom since she is still on break. Hopefully, I will be able to get my lazy butt off the couch in order to bring some fun pictures back with me to show. We'll see.
Anyway....we are ready to take off. Carlos has packed his suitcase containing a Transformers Chess Set, a stuffed snake, gift for Sean, an Australian Flag, two pairs of pajama pants, motorcyle game and one pair of shorts. Luckily, he has a mother who double checks is packing efforts to make sure he has a couple clean pairs of underwear and some tops to wear with the pajamas.
Happy New Year and see you Friday!!! Karin
