Speak now or forever hold your bacon...

Bacon Shoes

Breakfast for dinner...doesn't get much better than that.  Well actually it does if it includes bacon.  Mmmm bacon.  Why does bacon have to be so yummy?  It's yumminess creates an aroma as it sizzles on my stovetop - filling my house with the smell of heaven.  Bacon is yummy.  How do you like your bacon?  My daughter prefers it floppy as she calls it - me, I'm a crispy kinda bacon eater.  And I like thick bacon.  Applewood Bacon is delicious.

I had my fix of bacon tonight - one which will need to last me a while.  February 1st begins another challenge for me.  A challenge to bring me to a healthier and more fit me.  A challenge to cleanse my body of the impurities that I fill it with every day.  So how better to end my last few days of freedom then with some yummy bacon.

Tomorrow I will have my afternoon of pampering with Russell - he is my hairdresser.  Will have him cover up my two (almost three) inch roots and gray hair - I look forward to having him color my hair.  Will have him trim up the ends as well - I am digging the longer length so won't have him remove too much.  Russell is a great hairdresser - I walk in and say I need a color and trim - everything else is left in his hands, I trust him to make my hair look good.

New hair.  New body.  All that's remaining is a new mindset.  Until I can find the perfect career - I need to find a way to make it through this year in my current one.  I think a key piece of that is making sure that I find the time at night for my family.  These last few weeks have had me going at an insane pace - one which has been created by others not doing their work - one that has taken me away from my own family at night and on the weekends.  Not acceptable.  There are nights when I am not home because I have commitments.  The other nights I need to be able to be a wife and mother.

I will be closing the chapter on January and the negativity that came with it - to open the next chapter on February and a more positive atmosphere.  So farewell bacon - you will be missed - but I will enjoy the new me more.
