OMG SPA WEEK!! and homecoming ;)

amazing things about this week:
1) so i had a totally bummed out couple of days...went through the whole, "i am so fat, how will i fit in with my friends when i get home and we go out and i am alone and unwanted?" and i started 
operation not the fat friend
during which i worked out twice a day and counted calories.  this lasted for four days, until i worked out one time one day, and the next day not at all, and now i'm back on to once a day (with only one day off, yay!) but we are unfortunately out of 
fresh fruits and vegetables!
have you ever had canned asparagus?  don't.
but i got over my PMS-y hatred of myself, slapped on some sunless tanner and did some squats (immediate qud definition, right?!) and white strips and feel back to my lusty self.
2) discovered mormon bachelor pad.  google it.  i have NEVER read a funnier blog because it is so. dang. honest.  they're totally anonymous so they write about what actually happens with the ladies they date. 
eta: for clarification, these guys are assholes, immature and probably poor examples of Mormon men.  I don't know any other Mormons (except the Boob Nazi) but the way they talk about and objectify women is truly in poor taste.  regardless, they're funny. 
3) fewer than 11 days until i'm home in san diego, and even fewer than that until i'm reunited with my family in hawaii!  so excited!
4) spa. 
week.
incredible.  found out about it via prior fat girl because she got some free treatment (nice!! haha if only my blog were that successful....), but holy moly am i glad.  TONS of treatments are available from local spas for only $50 between the 12th and the 18th of April.  IT'S LIKE GOD KNEW I WAS RETURNING FROM DEPLOYMENT JUST IN TIME!  

my momma and i are already getting the pineapple and kiwi wrap at the Catamaran Spa...i'm just nervous about getting any massages or facials because i don't know how well a massage goes with a hangover, and i don't want to break out from an unnecessary facial, you know?  but is any facial really unnecessary heh?  example of what a STEAL this is, though?  that wrap is normally $115 and i'm only paying $50/person!
and i'm going to get a deep conditioning treatment and blow out at Gregorie's Spa in Del Mar . . . here's my logic behind this one: my appointment?  10:30.  Early enough in the day so it doesn't interfere with my plans, late enough in the day so it doesn't interfere with my hangover, and...
I DON'T HAVE TO WASH OR STYLE MY OWN HAIR ALL WEEKEND!  hahahah!
5) and now for my most recent purchases...i would say "oops", but we all know by now it's not an oops. it's an addiction.  hopefully it goes away when i get home and am embarassed by my consumerism.
1) Guess gold stilettos...I think these will be perfect for all of my longer little sundresses.
2) BB Dakota ruffled v-neck tunic-length tank...you know i love ruffles!
3) jack by BB Dakota ivory shift dress...
and i'm currently bidding on//hoping to win this adorable mock-two piece BB Dakota dress and BB Dakota halter dress!  i just can't ever get over how reasonably priced their clothes are for the cuteness level!
SO in response to all of you sweet beautiful AMAZING bloggers,

I am going to be home in less than two weeks!  MUCH LESS!  I AM SO EXCITED I CAN BARELY CONTAIN MYSELF!  MY TOES ARE SERIOUSLY CURLING WITH ANTICIPATION!
but is it okay to admit that I'm a teensie bit nervous?

I was raised Mormon. Notice I didn't marry a Mormon boy? Most of them are like that.

WAHOO!!! 10 days and counting.... you must be so pumped :) I'm excited for you.

Ha ha - ya right - you feeling fat? c'mon now, I would pay some good money to Dr. Christian Troy to give me your body :) But I know, anyone can have a 'fat' day, I suppose, so just keep on it - Lots of water (even if you can't have fresh veg), and let the Beast have her way with you every once in a while :)

And, BTW, have a fantastic time in Hawaii with your family, have a wonderful time at the spa, and have a drink for me at the bar.

Post lots of pictures from Hawaii - I've never been, so I need all the mental images I can get.

Yeah.... if they're really boys and not just fictional characters too old married guys are writing about, then they're really not very good guys.

And now you have two new Mormon friends :p

SO JEALOUS of your spa week. Good luck with Operation Not the Fat Friend (shouldn't be too hard, you look so cute!)
