Debbie Downer has left the building...


...I repeat, left the building. I'm back! I was so sad today...lonely at work, cold, after Christmas, etc.

I met my parents after work today to go get my present sized and walked out with an additional present. Then I went shopping for some cute clothes! Retail therapy really does work...I feel so much better! They even took me to lunch when I was looking homeless in my sweats and hat because my hair is 3 days dirty...yes, 3 days! Told you I was in the dumps!

THEN, Ryan was picking up little man from school so I took my time coming home.

THEN, I get home, put on some boots and a thick coat and my gloves and I met my boys outside and we played in the snow for a long time! We built a snowman (complete with carrot nose, Mr. Potato Head buck teeth, rock eyes, and twig arms), threw snowballs (I got Hagen in the face...totally on accident...he turned around at a bad time), made snow angels, etc.

I had a blast!

THEN, Ryan went to get sushi for dinner and I heated up anything that wasn't moldy in the fridge for Hagen. It was great!

Fire in the fireplace, hot chocolate, Dove Promises, and The Hangover on paperview...

I have a busy day tomorrow at work and am ready to tackle it...in my new duds...but not the best ones because no one will be there to tell me how cute I look.

SO SORRY about the venting this morning, I was being a brat/baby/whiney girl, but I had to.

AND, Hagen liked me today! I think the getting outside and playing did ALL of us some good. We needed to blow off some steam.

Tata,
Carrie

    Retail therapy is.the.best! I did that all afternoon, Sunday; sans hubby and baby.

    I get to get my hair done tomorrow too so I'm totally feeling good about starting the new year, refreshed!

    Happy you are feeling better!

    I always get the post-Christmas dumps too, Carrie! I'm surprised I'm not more bummed than I am. Two Christmases ago I cried when everyone left our house Christmas afternoon!

    I believe in retail therapy, too! And getting-out-of-a-rut therapy. However you do it, getting out of the routine FEELS GOOD.
    Glad to have you back--throwin snowballs at Hagen and all!
    :)
