The Rut's Easier to Follow

I woke up this morning with a strange jump in my step. It was a beautiful 70 degrees, I hit a new workout goal, I'm down 7 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks, I swiped a killer deal on some stuff for the house at Kirkland's yesterday...the day had unusual promise. For someone who has tipped the pessimistic scales lately, I surprised myself. 2011 has hit my family hard, unforgivingly causing us to ask a lot of "why's". So, you can imagine I was pleased. But now, my day has fizzled. My pizza and painting the kitchen wall party offer to the Mr. wasn't welcomed and I haven't gone to the grocery store. So, I sit, hungry, watching Sex and the City re-runs on E! with Stella. Blah. Someone, please get me out of my Saturday rut!
