A tad overwhelmed and such.

I'm sure it could be the fact that I'm about to travel the world with only a suitcase full of all my belongings. And well, where does one even begin to decide what gets taken and what must go??

Also, knowing me, I have a list of a bajillion things that need to be done before we leave San Diego next month, let alone leave the country a few short weeks after that!

Let me tell you how bi-polar dramatic emotional I've been lately too.

One moment I'm so super ecstatic about what's ahead, the next moment I'm a stress case trying to plan for something that I have no idea how to plan for, and then before you know it, I'm getting all nostalgic and crying over a Louis Vuitton bag I sold.

All the while, poor Dizzle gets to be front row and center to all my shenanigans, bless his heart.

...

Want to know something else?

I am somehow 7 pounds heavier since my marathon days.

Trust me on this. My hips don't lie.

I finally dusted off the ol' scale and weighed myself.

Then I almost choked on my chicken fried somethin' or other after seeing those numbers!

{Just kidding. I don't eat chicken fried somethin' or others since my KFC debacle.

But I'm sure it was something equally fried and equally fatty.}

But you wanna know my excuses?

Excuse #1: 
"We'll be walking so much all over Europe that I'm sure we'll burn off all this extra fat!"

{nom nom nom, chew chew chew, burp, sigh}

Excuse #2:
"Of course we should drink another bottle of wine. We'll need to learn how to be wine connoisseurs by the time we reach Italy!"

Excuse #3:
"My man is half Black. He's got to be alllll about these bodacious curves of mine."
{Okay, I sort of just came up with Excuse #3 right now. But I'm sure it's true. Right? Right?!}

On top of that, all I'm hearing these days is Paleo this, Paleo that,
and lordy, I just can't keep up!

So I am going to just keep on keepin' on. 
Because isn't that what we end up doing anyway?

I have every intention of walking to Panera for a salad tonight.
And afterwards, I have every intention of enjoying another bottle of wine.

...

Thanks for listening, friends.
Have yourselves a happy hump day.
